Management Commentary
“NeoVAD is a strong fit with our strategy to continue expanding Climb’s scale and capabilities across Europe,” said Climb CEO Dale Foster. “The acquisition adds meaningful reach in France while strengthening several important vendor relationships and creating opportunities to bring more of Climb’s portfolio to NeoVAD’s reseller network. At the same time, NeoVAD’s established position in France can help us build greater depth with vendors including Cato Networks, DataCore and Netwrix across our broader platform. We also see a meaningful opportunity to expand our Microsoft distribution business by pairing our existing EMEA capabilities with NeoVAD’s local training and technical support expertise. We expect this acquisition to be accretive to earnings and adjusted EBITDA, while NeoVAD’s stronger margin profile further supports our profitability objectives and expands our European platform for continued growth.”
Commenting on the acquisition, NeoVAD Founder and CEO Jérôme Boulon stated: “For more than a decade, we have built NeoVAD around a focused portfolio of cybersecurity, cloud and virtualization solutions and a high-touch model designed to help resellers successfully bring those technologies to market. Climb shares our focus on specialized, value-added distribution and brings broader scale and capabilities that can help us build on what we have established in France. We see significant opportunity to expand the solutions we bring to our reseller partners while creating additional opportunities for our vendors across Climb’s European platform.”
