    • Fourth acquisition under the Kingsway Search Xcelerator Program, first in 2023
    • High margin, capital light, recurring revenue business
    • VMS formation creates a platform for future vertical market software acquisitions

    CHICAGO, Sept. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - (NYSE:KFS) Kingsway Financial Services Inc. ("Kingsway") today announced the formation of Vertical Market Solutions, LLC ("VMS") and the acquisition of the privately-held vertical market software company Systems Products International, Inc. ("SPI"). This acquisition is the fourth acquisition completed under the Kingsway Search Xcelerator Program. Operator-in-Residence ("OIR") Drew Richard will be transitioning into the day-to-day operating role as CEO of SPI following the transaction.

    SPI, based in Miami, Florida (www.spisoftware.com), is a preferred partner in the development of software products, created exclusively to serve the management needs of all types of shared-ownership properties. The SPI platform includes a comprehensive set of modules with software solutions that cover the entire vacation ownership enterprise: sales, property management, loan servicing, receivables management, integrations, and mobile applications.

    "This is Kingsway's fourth acquisition under the Kingsway Search Xcelerator Program and our first in the vertical market software space," said Kingsway President and CEO, J.T. Fitzgerald. "The transaction reflects the progress we are making with several potential M&A transactions as deal flow has increased significantly since the start of 2023. SPI fits our criteria of recurring revenue, strong margins, and low capital demands, in a growing industry, and we expect it will be immediately accretive.  While smaller than our typical acquisition, we are excited about SPI and its history and prospects as our first acquisition under VMS."  "Founded in 1978, SPI is a pioneer in its field and has created world-class software products for the time-share and vacation rental industries," said Drew Richard, incoming SPI CEO. "I am honored to join this well-established team and continue meeting the needs of current and future customers."  

    Even after taking into consideration the anticipated effects of purchase accounting, Kingsway expects the acquisition to be immediately accretive and provide uplift to its recurring revenue base.  The closing purchase price was paid in cash.

    Holland & Knight served as legal counsel to Kingsway and Marko & Magolnick, P.A. served as legal counsel to the sellers.

    Management will host a Conference today at 5 p.m. ET to further discuss the transaction.

    Kingsway also announced today that Miles Mamon has joined its innovative Kingsway Search Xclerator ("KSX") segment as the newest OIR.  "We are excited to welcome Miles to the KSX team," said John T. Fitzgerald. "As deal flow continues to pick-up and our portfolio of KSX companies continues to expand, having Miles on board to help find our next great company is a great addition to the deep bench of OIRs already in place."

    Prior to joining Kingsway, Mr. Mamon was a Vice President at Morgan Stanley where he was responsible for acquisitions and asset management within the Merchant Banking and Real Estate Investing group. Mr. Mamon began his career as an air and missile defense officer in the United States Army where he served in a patriot missile unit supporting a NATO operation to protect the Turkish southern border region during the Syrian Civil War. Mr. Mamon holds a JD from the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, an MBA in Finance from the Northwestern Kellogg School of Management and a BA in Economics and Classics from Northwestern University.
