Duff & Phelps Advised Compleo Charging Solutions AG on Its IPO

On October 21, 2020, shares of Compleo Charging Solutions AG (“Compleo”) began trading on the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Total proceeds from the IPO (almost €44m) will be used to strengthen Compleo’s market-leading position by expanding production capacities and continuing investment in R&D to maintain its technological leadership. Compleo also intends to use a significant part of the proceeds for the strategic goals of growth through expansion in the EU.

Duff & Phelps has been acting as a trusted financial advisor to Compleo’s management team since the management buy-in (out) in 2019, providing advice throughout the process and performing financial planning and reporting. In early 2020, Compleo decided that the next step in the company’s growth would involve going public. Duff & Phelps is thrilled to have had the chance to stand side-by-side with the management team during this journey. We have assisted the team throughout the IPO process, helping them develop a comprehensive business plan.

Our team of experts provided a range of services, including creating an integrated financial model (P&L, BS, CF statement and indicative valuation); performing market research to support the business plan assumptions; facilitating discussions with the underwriting banks; performing ad-hoc analyses; and preparing presentations for internal and external planning discussions.

We would like to thank Georg Griesemann and Peter Gabriel from Compleo for entrusting us with this important role in such a significant project for the company.

Duff & Phelps is a phenomenal financial advisor. We were supported every step of the way by a great team, and their contribution to our IPO’s success can hardly be measured. It was a pleasure working with Duff & Phelps, and we are looking forward to future cooperation,” comments Georg Griesemann, Co-CEO and CFO of Compleo.
