Background
Ethica Corporate Finance advised the shareholders of Natural Point on the sale to Recordati, Italian listed company active in the pharma sector.

What Difference Did We Make?
Ethica started to work alongside Natural Point’s shareholders in early January. Leveraging on solid knowledge of the food supplements market, Ethica was able to identify a selected panel of industrial and financial potential buyers, resulting from a pre-screening activity, and structure a competitive auction process that granted the highest net equity proceeds to the shareholders.

Activity
Natural Point is an Italian leading company in the food supplements market established in 1993 with the objective of promoting a culture of healthy use of its products. The Company offers a wide portfolio of highly efficacious and bioavailable supplements, produced with safe active ingredients, to improve health and well-being. The Company’s main product is a formulation of magnesium carbonate and citric acid whose characteristic is to be easily assimilated into the body, apart from the agreeable flavor.

In 2017, Natural Point reached a total turnover of €15 mln, with an EBITDA equal to €10mln.
