Stratus

APPROACH

Since acquiring Stratus, Arcapita and Stratus’ management team have been focused on three strategic initiatives to position the company for continued growth:

(i) Marketing and cross-selling opportunities;
(ii) Growing the Energy Solutions segment; and
(iii) Expanding through add-on acquisitions.

Under Arcapita’s ownership, Stratus transitioned from a nationwide signage company to a tech-enabled, asset light diversified facility services and brand management company with over $300 million in revenue in 2021. Since being acquired by Arcapita in late 2017, Stratus achieved organic growth through its
blue-chip customer base, which includes companies such as Starbucks and McDonalds. It also completed several add-on acquisitions which expanded the Stratus’s customer base and product offering. Despite the unprecedented economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, Stratus tripled its revenues and EBITDA over the holding period.
