Peugeot Invest's investment
In February 2021, Peugeot Invest Assets invested $306 million to acquire a minority stake in International SOS, alongside its founders and executive management, and alongside Cobepa, which has been a minority shareholder in the company since 2007.
At 31 December 2023, the Peugeot Invest group (via its wholly owned subsidiary Peugeot Invest Assets) held 14.6% of the company’s capital.
Peugeot Invest Assets is represented by Robert Peugeot and Sébastien Coquard (1), who sit on the company’s Board of Directors as director and non-voting member, respectively.
In 2023
Since it was founded, the company has posted average high single-digit revenue growth, mainly organic, with a double-digit EBITDA margin. In its financial year ending 30 June 2023, the company generated revenue of $1.4 billion.
Assistance services continued to enjoy good momentum, driven by the subscription business, which accelerated sharply with double-digit growth.
The medical services business saw the end of contracts linked to Covid-19, partly offset by more recurring revenues and the development of new government contracts, thanks to the legitimacy gained from its mobilisation in certain areas of high geopolitical tension in 2021–2022.
Finally, the Group has continued to expand its employee assistance offering by signing a partnership with Koa Health, one of the world’s leading providers of online mental health care.
