Denis Ladegaillerie, CEO of Believe, has expressed confidence in the recorded #musicindustry and predicts at least one $1 billion acquisition of a distribution and services player over the next 12-24 months. Believe's consortium, which includes EQT and TCV, now owns 95% of Believe via a recent share tender process, which is two to three times bigger than the firm's yearly acquisition #budget following its #IPO. Believe has previously acquired companies like TuneCore in the US, Sentric Music in the UK, #VenusMusic in India, and Nuclear Blast Records in Germany. Believe is particularly interested in accelerating its business in the US and the UK. The company's No.1 driver of its acquisition strategy is the world's Top 10 markets. Believe is already in the top three players in four of those markets – #France, #Germany, #Japan, and #India. However, they have not achieved that in the US and the UK due to not investing at the level required to do so. #Kyncl and #Warner came close to tabling a $1.8 billion takeover bid for Believe, but WMG ultimately didn't form an offer and pulled out of negotiations. In a Q&A with Music Business Worldwide (MBW), Ladegaillerie discussed his personal experience of the Warner process and the possibility of taking the company fully private. He stated that the goal is to supercharge their existing organic growth and make acquisitions to grow market share. Believe is aligned with EQT and TCV to supercharge their existing organic growth and make acquisitions to grow market share. The No.1 element of their acquisition strategy today is in the Top 10 markets, with the US, UK, and Japan being key priorities for them. Ladegaillerie believes the #USmarket is starting to transform towards independent #services companies and is considering a transformational acquisition target in the next 24 months. He believes the probability of something transformational, very significant, at scale happening in the next 12-24 months is extremely high and wants to operate as a credible, better alternative to major #labels in the world's biggest markets.

Sydney-headquartered audiovisual technology company Audinate (ASX: AD8) has now lost all the gains made by its share price over the past year, after a tempered outlook on revenue spooked investors into a sell-off that shed $359 million off its market capitalisation. Despite announcing a 28% lift in unaudited revenue to US$60 million ($91.5 million) for FY24, and an almost doubling of earnings to a range of $19.5-20.5 million, the company lost its unicorn status today as shares fell 32.39 per cent to just above $9. "Whilst we expect FY25 to be a transitional year, the long-term strategic thesis for Audinate remains strong," says Audinate co-founder and CEO Aidan Williams. https://lnkd.in/eTUBKZxY
