Wood Mackenzie was sold to Charterhouse Capital Partners, another European investment firm, for £ 553 million. This represents a valuation of approximately 6 to 7 times revenue, which is a healthy multiple under the current market conditions. Current Wood Mackenzie management has been retained and added three new Charterhouse board members on its board. Overall, it creates a business-as-usual, stable platform for Wood Mackenzie in comparison to being sold to a competitor like IHS.
