Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
 <li>
Historical Market Leader Acquired in Industry Consolidation: APN Outdoor (APO) was a leading Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising operator in Australia and New Zealand, with a strong portfolio of large-format billboards, transit, and airport advertising assets. The company was acquired by global OOH leader JCDecaux in a transaction completed in late 2018, marking a significant consolidation event in the ANZ media landscape.</li>
 <li>
Acquisition by JCDecaux for A$1.2B: JCDecaux acquired 100% of APN Outdoor for A$6.70 per share, implying an equity value of approximately A$1.12 billion and an enterprise value of A$1.22 billion. The acquisition was valued at an EV/FY18E EBITDA multiple of 12.9x, a premium justified by APO's complementary asset base to JCDecaux's street furniture portfolio.</li>
 <li>
Pre-Acquisition Strategy Focused on Digitization: Prior to its acquisition, APN Outdoor's strategy was heavily focused on converting its portfolio of classic static panels to higher-yield digital screens. In 2016, digital revenues grew 64% and accounted for 34% of total revenue, a figure that rose to 37% in the second half of the year, underscoring the successful execution of this strategy.</li>
