Baltic Classifieds Group is a Lithuanian company that specialises in classified portals. The company was established in 1999 and is headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.
History
The company was established with the launch of two classified portals in Estonia in 1999.[2] It subsequently expanded by acquisition creating an enlarged portfolio including portals in Latvia and Lithuania.[2]
The company was acquired by Eesti Meedia Group in 2014 and by funds managed by Apax Partners in May 2019.[3] It was then the subject of an initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange in July 2021.[4] In August 2021 FTSE Russell announced that, based on the size of its market capitalisation (circa £1.2 billion at that time), the company was an indicative candidate for inclusion in the FTSE 250 Index.[5]
In 2023, the company became the third unicorn company in Lithuania after Vinted and Nord Security.[6]
