gategroup has completed a valuation report

February 2025 — As part of its annual financial reporting process, the leading airline caterer gategroup has received valuation support. Specifically, the company required an independent valuation of its long-term incentive plan (LTIP).

gategroup is a global leader in food and hospitality services and one of the world’s largest inflight caterers. Headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, gategroup employs over 38,000 people and operates in 200 locations across all continents. Through the most extensive catering network in the aviation industry, gategroup serves more than 700 million passengers annually in over 60 countries worldwide.

Our role in the transaction

Oaklins’ team in Switzerland was mandated to conduct an independent valuation of gategroup’s LTIP and provide a formal valuation opinion report.

“The collaboration with Oaklins was extremely professional. Despite the ambitious timelines, all milestones were achieved on time. We found Oaklins to be a competent and reliable partner — as an extension of our team in the preparation of the annual financial report.”
