Nuvini Provides Highlights Outlook and Growth Opportunities as it Begins Trading
The company’s shares debuted on Nasdaq under the ticker NVNI
October 3, 2023 08:42 AM Eastern Daylight Time
NEW YORK—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Nvni Group Limited (Nasdaq:NVNI) (“Nuvini”), the leading serial acquirer of private SaaS B2B companies in Latin America, today highlighted a bright path forward.
With 17 identified acquisition candidates in Brazil, the Company intends to use proceeds from the listing as growth capital in the attractive Latin American market highlighted by lower technology penetration levels and rapid growth. Nuvini plans to rely on its capital allocation track record to scale its platform and drive growth across its portfolio companies. Nuvini’s existing portfolio of SaaS companies consists of seven companies: leadlovers, Ipê Digital, Effecti, Datahub, Onclick, Mercos and SmartNX.
Looking ahead, CEO Pierre Schurmann noted, “As we look ahead, we expect to provide unmatched exposure to the growing SaaS market in LatAm where growth potential is significant. So far this year, we are on target to reach our net operating revenue estimates of U$40 million in 2023. Further we have been able to improve efficiency and are on target to improve our adjusted EBITDA margin, from our original target of 17.3% to a new estimated target of 24.7%.
