Netrisk.hu is the number one independent online insurance broker in Hungary, distributing non-life insurance products – CTP insurance, CASCO, home insurance and travel insurance. The company was founded by its CEO and co-owner Zsolt Haraszti 15 years ago. In 2001 Netrisk.hu was the first company in Hungary that enabled users to compare insurance services and prices online and to activate the selected insurance immediately. Although many other companies offering similar services have appeared on the Hungarian market since then, Netrisk.hu has not only secured its leading position in the online insurance business, but its market share kept growing last year, just as it had done in 2008. Netrisk.hu now has 770,000 registered users. More than half of all car owners use the internet to buy compulsory car insurance in Hungary and more than 50% of those customers choose Netrisk.hu.

“Enterprise Investors had been looking for investment opportunities in Hungary for some time now. We are pleased to have found an excellent company in Netrisk.hu as our first investment in the country. The company has an effective business model and is a clear leader in its market. The management has proved it knows how to achieve exponential growth in the number of satisfied customers by providing value to them and thus growing the company. We will be looking for other Hungarian firms in the future that want not only to attract private equity or venture capital, but also to gain a reliable business partner with 20 years’ experience in successfully developing high-achieving companies”, said Dariusz Prończuk, Managing Partner and Board Member of Enterprise Investors.

“In Enterprise Investors we’ve found an investor that has an excellent reputation, strong regional presence and unquestionable expertise in the financial sector. With the help of this investor we will not only boost the further development of our services, but also expand in Hungary and in the Central and Eastern European region. This is an exceptional opportunity for us to grow this one-time family enterprise into a regional corporation in the coming years”, said Zsolt Haraszti, founder and Managing Director of Netrisk.hu

“With the Netrisk.hu transaction signed, Enterprise Investors is planting its flag in Hungary. This is a highly attractive investment for us, as many attributes of the company appeal to a private equity investor”, said Tamás Tüske, Country Director of Enterprise Investors in Hungary.

Dino is a chain of proximity supermarkets funded with Polish capital. It has been developing since 1999, when the first stores were opened in the Wielkopolska voivodeship. Since then, Dino has been expanding very fast. At present the chain numbers 97 stores, located mainly in western Poland, and on average the company opens 1-2 new stores each month. Dino’s revenues totaled PLN 420 million (€97 million) in 2009, and this year are expected to grow by 30% and to exceed PLN 540 million (€135 million).

“We consider Dino to be an attractive investment. We are impressed by its rapid development in the last three years, during which time the company tripled its profit. We can see opportunities for Dino’s further dynamic growth through the chain’s expansion in various parts of Poland. The Dino stores stand out against the competition, especially as regards meat, cold meats and other fresh goods on offer, which gives the chain an advantage over its rivals”, said Michał Rusiecki, managing partner of Enterprise Investors who leads this investment.

“We are glad to have won over Enterprise Investors, which is an experienced investor in the retail sector. Our goal is to dynamically expand our chain by opening at least 30-40 stores a year within the next few years. It will be much easier to achieve this together with EI”, said Szymon Piduch, Dino’s president.

EVF’s latest investment is the seventh company operating in the thriving SME sector in this fund’s portfolio. The total amount invested to date by EI’s youngest fund is €20 million.

For eight years, Euro-Tax.pl SA Capital Group has been operating on the Polish market, providing overpaid tax recovery consultancy for Polish workers legally employed abroad. The company renders its services almost exclusively on an e-commerce basis. Since its inception, Euro-Tax.pl has recovered more than PLN 100 million in overpaid taxes for 40,000 clients.
The company recovered half of this amount in 2009 alone, which proves its very dynamic development. Euro-Tax.pl owes this fast development to its management team as well as its business strategy. The latter, being based on the internet channel, allows for the minimization of risk and cost and the maximization of profit.

“We have decided to invest in Euro-Tax.pl because this company is the clear leader on the market and operates through the very efficient internet channel,” said Rafał Bator, an Enterprise Investors partner who manages the venture capital team.
“We have established very good contacts with the company’s dynamic management team. This is very important for our effective cooperation in years to come, when we will be working together to build the value of the company further,” he added.

In January 2010, Euro-Tax.pl had its debut on the NewConnect market on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The company’s attractiveness was attested by the reduction in orders and the involvement of a financial investor who bought 50% of the shares offered. In the years ahead, the company plans to increase its range of services and offer them to a broader group of clients.
It also plans to expand its operations beyond Poland’s borders and to move to the Warsaw Stock Exchange’s main market (in 2012).

“This sale of shares to Enterprise Venture Fund will first of all support the Euro-Tax.pl Capital Group’s further development,” said Adam Powiertowski, Euro-Tax.pl president, commenting on signing the investment contract. “The priority in our cooperation with EVF will be to significantly increase the company’s value for shareholders. Winning over an experienced partner will allow our company to meet expansion plans on the Polish market and in the Central and Eastern European region as well as enable the company to prepare to sell to a strategic investor within the next five years. Even though Euro-Tax.pl has already performed very well, we can see huge potential for the further dynamic growth of our sales services and thus for the capital group’s growth in value. We want the company to move into the Warsaw Stock Exchange’s main market within the next two years.”

In 2009, Euro-Tax.pl’s consolidated revenues amounted to PLN 9 million (approx. €2 million) and were more than two times higher than 2008 revenues. In line with earlier forecasts, in 2009 the company generated a consolidated net profit of
PLN 2.3 million (€0.5 million). In 2010, Euro-Tax.pl expects to increase its sales by several dozen percent and to achieve net profit at a level of PLN 3 million.

Smartree Romania SRL provides high-quality HR outsourcing services such as payroll calculation and personnel administration to more than 100 renowned multinational and local companies operating in Romania. The company services more than
30,000 employees each month, using state-of-the-art software that it developed internally.

and lower-priced services. With the help of our investment, Smartree will be able to maintain its leading position by expanding its offer and winning new customers,” said Rafal Bator, Enterprise Investors partner who leads the venture capital team.

“The funds that Smartree received from our new venture partner will finance a new line of business – personnel outsourcing –
as well as the further growth of payroll and software outsourcing. We plan to expand our business significantly within the next five years by consistently growing our customer base and providing a broader scale of services to existing clients,” said
Mr. Eric Kish, owner of Smartree.

“We are happy that after the six investments made by Enterprise Investors in Romania so far, our venture fund makes its first investment in this country. Enterprise Venture Fund I will continue to look for companies that have a proven and successful business model and generate revenues and profits, at least at the operating profit level. We raised the fund to meet the huge demand among smaller companies for private equity and venture capital financing in CEE. We have been in contact with several Romanian companies seeking expansion capital, and we invite more companies in the country to contact us,” commented Cristian Nacu, Enterprise Investors partner and head of the Romanian office.

Polish Enterprise Fund VI’s (PEF VI) subsidiary, which already owns 70.73% of Novaturas, agreed to buy all the Orbis Travel shares owned by Orbis SA and maintain the brand name, which is one of the strongest and best known in the Polish tourism industry. The acquisition price and terms were not disclosed. The agreement is subject to approval by the Polish anti-monopoly office.

“By acquiring the tour operator from Orbis and investing in the Orbis Travel brand we continue the consolidation of the Central European tourism industry, which we initiated with our acquisition of Novaturas. Once we have completed the company’s restructuring project, which has been underway since 2007, and thanks to its cooperation with Novaturas, Orbis Travel will be able to offer Polish customers a uniquely attractive and affordable range of services. We strongly believe that the operating synergies in product development and purchasing that come with being part of a large Central European tour operator group will enable Orbis Travel to rapidly improve its effectiveness and profitability,” said Sebastian Król, a partner at Enterprise Investors.

“This transaction is evidence of the Orbis Group’s refocus on its core segment, hospitality. Our strategy is to expand further in the economy hotels segment with our Etap and Ibis brands and to finalize the convergence of the Orbis hotels to the requirements of the well-known Accor brands. The recent weak financial performance of our non-core tour operating arm prompted our decision to divest Orbis Travel. Crucially, the new investor has unmatched experience in the tour operating business and will continue the tourism activities under the Orbis Travel brand,” said Jean-Philippe Savoye, president of Orbis SA.

In November 2007, PEF VI became the majority shareholder of Novaturas in a €40 million deal. Novaturas is the largest tour operator active in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, with a leading position on each market (over 50%, 30% and 30% respectively). The Group has an excellent reputation and offers a range of quality travel packages that far surpasses that of its competitors. Novaturas served 150,000 tourists last year.

Orbis Travel (PBP Orbis Sp. z o.o.) is one of the largest Polish tour operators and a strong, well-known Polish brand. It was formerly part of Orbis SA, the Polish listed hotels operator controlled by Accor. Orbis Travel offers the full range of tourism and travel services for individual as well as corporate clients, and each year serves more than one million people
and 2,000 companies.

Orbis SA is the largest company in the hospitality industry in Poland and the CEE region. Orbis Hotel Group manages 63 hotels with a total of 12,000 rooms, marketed under the Etap, Ibis, Mercure, Novotel, Sofitel, Holiday Inn and Orbis Hotels brands.
The Group also operates Orbis Transport, which offers international coach transport and car leasing. Orbis SA’s strategic partner, Accor, is the leader of the European hospitality industry. Accor manages 4,000 hotels and more than 500,000 rooms in 90 countries.

in successfully developing the Kaufland network in that country,” said Cristian Nacu, Enterprise Investors partner.

and multiply the company’s offer as well as its value. Our goal is to double the number of stores within a few years,” commented Gunter Grieb, Profi’s incoming CEO.
