Lalatech IPO Valuation Analysis: Discount To Last Round Valuation Is Justified

By Andrei Zakharov

  • Lalatech Holdings filed for an IPO in March. I have tried to come at an IPO valuation for the company using a mix of methodologies: EV/Revenue, EV/GTV and EV/Gross Profit.
  • Taking a weighted average of peer group multiples-based valuation methodologies, I arrived at a ~$7B IPO valuation for Lalatech Holdings, including ~$1.65B of cash and cash equivalents.
  • From a peer group perspective, I arrived at a fair IPO valuation close to ~$7B, using a ~5x EV/CY22 Revenue, ~0.7x EV/CY22 GTV, and a 10x EV/CY22 Gross Profit multiple.
