Car rental company Movida is expected to carry out an initial IPO that could reach between R$ 800 million and R$ 1 billion, according to preliminary estimates from people close to the deal.The funds raised with the transaction, which is still pending approval by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), will be pocketed by both JSL logistics company, Movida’s parent company and the company itself.
This is the second IPO request from a vehicle rental company in Brazil this week. Two days ago, Unidas also expressed the interest of opening to the stock market.
In its third quarter financial statements, Movida reported net income of R$ 13.5 million and revenue of R$ 498.7 million. The company also had negative net working capital of R$ 607.5 million – short-term resources lower than the short-term liabilities. According to Movida, this is due to the investment plan made by the company in the opening of new units and in the expansion and renewal of the fleet.
