Investment firm Evercore set to purchase UK consultancy company Robey Warshaw
Evercore, a leading independent investment banking advisory firm, has announced its acquisition of Robey Warshaw, a UK-based independent advisory firm, for a consideration of £146m ($196m). This strategic move is aimed at accelerating Evercore’s growth, expanding its client reach across the UK, Europe, and globally, and strengthening its position in the lucrative European market.
The acquisition is structured to be completed in two payments. The first payment will be made in Evercore stock at the deal's closing. The second payment is scheduled for the one-year anniversary and can be paid in either stock or cash, as determined by the two parties.
Robey Warshaw’s advisory services will complement Evercore’s global platform. Established in 2013, Robey Warshaw has an impressive client base and provides advisory services to some of Europe’s leading multinational companies. Co-founder Simon Robey admires Evercore’s growth and shares commitments to client service, excellence, integrity, and independent advice with Evercore.
Key strategic rationales for the acquisition include accelerating Evercore’s growth strategy, expanding its European footprint, enhancing global client engagement, and being financially accretive. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to Evercore’s earnings per share (EPS) both on an adjusted and GAAP basis in the first full year, supporting shareholder value.
The integration of Robey Warshaw is anticipated to improve high-touch, personalized client service while leveraging Evercore’s global reach and sector expertise. Post-acquisition, Evercore’s combined team will include over 400 bankers across nine countries in the EMEA region, significantly broadening its regional presence and capabilities.
Evercore chairman and CEO John Weinberg believes Robey Warshaw has extraordinary, long-standing relationships with some of the world's leading multinational companies. These relationships, coupled with Evercore's strong independent advisory model, will enhance Evercore's market share and competitive standing in EMEA and worldwide.
Robey Warshaw's clients will continue to receive personal attention and care, and they will also benefit from greater global reach, broad product capabilities, and sector expertise. The transaction includes the possibility of additional consideration based on Robey Warshaw’s performance over a set period following the acquisition.
Evercore and Robey Warshaw share a common ambition to drive further growth. This acquisition is a testament to their shared values and commitment to client service, excellence, integrity, and independent advice. The deal is scheduled to be completed at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2025.
