What EAG does

EAG SE is a privately-held international investment group founded in 2018 in Prague, Czech Republic, focused on consolidating and monetizing the outbound channel in the European automotive segment. Rather than operating as a single product company, EAG functions as a holding platform of 14 wholly-owned portfolio companies that collectively cover the entire vehicle lifecycle — from selection and financing through purchase, insurance, and servicing to resale. The portfolio is organized around three strategic pillars: (1) marketplaces and direct sales channels (Carvago for B2C/B2B used-car transactions with 800K+ vehicles and 30,000 partners across 9 European markets; Fastback for B2B stock trading; Instamotion as Germany's largest online used-car dealer); (2) dealership management and enterprise systems (Omnetic, Teas, Autrado, Automotive Systems, Softvig, JBR — DMS/ERP solutions across CEE, DACH, and Poland serving thousands of dealer clients); and (3) data, analytics, and verification services (Cebia for vehicle history checks across 32+ countries, CarsData for market analytics across 16 European nations, CarAudit for digitalized vehicle inspection, CarObserver for pricing and margin optimization, plus Dotzilla for digital marketing). EAG's business model is multi-modal across the portfolio: subscription/recurring revenue from DMS and SaaS products, marketplace commissions, transaction-based verification and inspection fees, and analytics licensing. Since 2019 EAG has executed at least 11 acquisitions, with notable recent ones including Automotive Systems (2026), CarObserver and Dotzilla (2025), and Autrado, Instamotion, and JBR (2024). In 2024, portfolio company Omnetic secured up to €100M in growth capital from Kartesia and CVI to fund further European expansion. The group is led by CEO and Chairman Jakub Šulta alongside CIO Petr Kratochvíl and a broader C-suite (CPO, CTO, CMO, CSO, CRO, CFO). No holding-level revenue is publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Cox Automotive: Global automotive services group owning dealer software (Dealertrack/Reynolds), marketplaces (Autotrader, Kelley Blue Book), and inventory/financing tools. The clearest direct analog to EAG's multi-brand automotive platform strategy, but at vastly larger scale and primarily US-anchored.
• CDK Global: Major provider of DMS, digital retailing, and data solutions to automotive dealers globally. Directly comparable to EAG's Omnetic/Teas/Autrado/Automotive Systems portfolio; much larger scale but serves overlapping dealer-customer base.
• Solera Holdings: Automotive data, software, and workflow platform covering vehicle lifecycle (claims, repair, salvage, fleet). Comparable to EAG in lifecycle coverage and data-centric positioning, but with a heavier insurance/claims focus.
• Reynolds and Reynolds: Established US-focused automotive DMS and retailing solutions provider. Broad incumbent serving overlapping dealer workflows with EAG's DMS portfolio.

Direct peers

• AutoScout24: Largest pan-European online vehicle marketplace with multi-country presence. Closely comparable to Carvago's consumer-facing marketplace offering across Europe.
• Mobile.de: Germany's leading online vehicle marketplace (owned by Adevinta). Directly comparable to Instamotion and Carvago in the German/DACH used-car marketplace segment.
• Carfax: Vehicle history and verification service built on a large aggregated vehicle records database. Closely comparable to Cebia's verification business across 32+ countries.
• Lightspeed (Dealertrack DMS): DMS and dealer software provider in North America/Europe. Direct competitor to Omnetic, Teas, and Autrado in the dealership management systems market.

Regional players

• TÜV SÜD Auto Service: European vehicle inspection, verification, and certification services group. Comparable to CarAudit's digitalized inspection and Cebia's verification offerings, though primarily operating under a regulatory/inspection lens.

Emerging players

• Adevinta (OLX/eBay Classifieds Group): Operator of pan-European online classifieds marketplaces including vertical automotive channels. Comparable to Carvago and Fastback's marketplace model, though Adevinta operates across broader vertical categories beyond automotive.
