What Banyan Software UK paid

1 disclosed price, what it deploys, what it owes and what its capital costs — every figure from a filed account.

Acquired company	Revenue, EUR m	Year	Price paid	Basis
Softera Oy (Finland, ERP)	3.5	2024	2.36x	measured

Price paid per unit of the acquired company’s annual revenue. 1 of the 1 row is measured — consideration and revenue both stated in the acquisition note; Amounts are converted to euro at the ECB annual reference rate; the multiples are ratios within one currency and are not converted.

What it deploys

A price is only half the picture; the other half is how much Banyan Software UK actually puts to work. In 2025 that was 50.4 EUR m across 5 acquisitions, on a floor basis. The average cheque was 10.07 EUR m.

Capital deployed EUR m	as filed		Acquisitions	Average cheque EUR m	Year	Basis
50.4	43.2	GBP	5	10.07	2025	floor

“Floor” is the sum of the individually named acquisitions and can only be too low, because unnamed ones are missing. Converted to euro at the ECB annual reference rate for the buyer’s own reporting year; the figure as filed stands beside it. Full table: how much they deploy.

What this does not support

1 priced deal is not a distribution. Below four prices the median is the middle of a couple of points, and the range is the distance between them.
These are revenue multiples, not earnings multiples. Most acquisition notes give no usable profit figure for the company bought.
