Millitzer Capital Pegs DuPont Valuation

June 28, 2017

DuPont Fabros Sold For 13.6 X Revenues. What will I peg your valuation?

Independence Day and Canada Day are next week, and you may be cutting this week short.  I will make this fast.

–  Digital Realty is purchasing DuPont Fabros’s data centers in a $6 billion transaction. I pegged it at 13.6 X revenue and 23 X EBITDA. Read Tom Millitzer’s WHIR M&A Blog for the details, you won’t regret it.

–  Data Centers are booming; Shaw Communications Inc. is selling its ViaWest twenty-six data centers to Peak 10 for $1.7 billion.

–  1 Wilshire Data Center. At my last writing, we announced a Los Angeles data center we have for sale with facilities at 1 Wilshire. During HostingCon a half dozen firms toured the facility, and since then, companies from as far as Europe have traveled to see the operations. We are looking at offers, but there is still time to play.

–  Today we are putting a new opportunity on the market. An MSP Managed Cloud services company based on the VMWare Cloud platform. Average recurring revenue $2,440/mo. EBITDA 30% +. Ninety-five percent of accounts are on auto-renewing one-year contracts. Memorandum available, contact us today to for information. Smaller but worth the look.

–  Desire a Midwest data center footprint in a Big League City? This company owns the 27,000 sqr/ft. building, half leased offices, half data center. Real estate can handle a $2.3 million mortgage. Another 25,000 s/f of data center at another (colocated) facility available in a transaction. Call to discuss.

Are you, or someone you know considering selling?  Millitzer Capital represents sellers and we don’t like leaving millions on the table. Call us at 239-282-5550 to have an open discussion.

Have a safe, industrious and fun Summer – Tom
