Shaping the future of car buying: a roadmap to strengthen Aramis Group’s
European leadership and drive its profitable growth
Aramis Group [Ticker: ARAMI – ISIN: FR0014003U94], the European leader in B2C used car sales with operations in six markets, is hosting its Capital Markets Day today at 10:00 am CET.
During the event, the Group will unveil its strategic roadmap and financial targets for 2027. Co-founders and Co-CEOs Guillaume Paoli and Nicolas Chartier, alongside key members of the management team, will present the bold initiatives shaping Aramis Group’s next phase of success.
Having successfully navigated the unprecedented challenges of the automotive industry during the COVID-19 crisis and the war in Ukraine, the Group has emerged stronger than ever. In 2024, Aramis Group sold over 112,000 cars B2C, delivered an adjusted EBITDA of over €50 million, and generated more than €21 million in free cash flow.
Founded in 2001, Aramis Group has become Europe’s go-to platform for purchasing used cars, uniquely positioned to seize the opportunities of a €420 billion, fragmented, and rapidly digitalizing market.
With a proven, unique business model built over 23 years, the Group continues to deliver exceptional value for all stakeholders by leveraging:
- End-to-end vertical integration across the value chain;
- A highly efficient operating system; and
- A proprietary performance engine driving unparalleled results.
Strategic vision for 2027
Building on the momentum of previous successes and favorable automotive market trends, Aramis Group is embarking on an exciting new chapter, anchored by two strategic pillars:
1. Converge and leverage its European platform
This involves improving the performance of all entities by converging towards the Group's Operating System and better leveraging its pan-European scale:
- Operational convergence: Aramis Group will strengthen its competitive edge by unifying its operating system, optimizing sourcing practices, and aligning refurbishing processes to improve efficiency, quality, and lead times. Enhanced knowledge sharing across geographies will elevate customer experiences and unlock additional value from its service offerings.
- Scaling European opportunities: By further developing its internal marketplace, the Group will enhance international arbitrage capabilities, improve margins, and accelerate lead times. Additionally, Aramis Group remains open to relevant M&A opportunities, at the right conditions, leveraging its proven integration playbook to create sustainable growth and consolidate European leadership.
2. Raise the bar
Aramis Group is committed to redefining how Europeans buy cars by continually enhancing its unique model:
- Further enhancing customer experience: The Group will expand its “optichannel” experience, ensuring personalized, seamless interactions. It plans to grow its network of customer centers, improve the financing journey for faster, more intuitive processes, and launch a cohesive Groupwide brand platform to unify messaging and drive growth across all markets.
- Empowering teams with technology and data: Significant upgrades to its C2B purchasing platform and advanced data tools will drive smarter strategies and better outcomes, empowering teams across the whole organization.
