Spanish fashion retailer Tendam is weighing an initial public offering after its adjusted core profit grew by 8.3% in the first half of its financial year, the company's chairman and chief executive said on Thursday in a statement.
"The company and its shareholders are contemplating potential strategic alternatives to drive the company forward to its next growth phase, including the possibility of an initial public offering of its shares on a regulated market," Jaume Miquel said, citing Tendam's recent performance and ratings upgrades.
Private equity firms CVC Capital Partners and PAI Partners each currently control nearly half of Tendam's shares.
