Key Takeaways

» M&A activity slowed in the first half of 2017. In North America and

Europe, $910.6 billion in deal value was completed across 8,982

transactions (both figures estimated) in 1H 2017—each on pace for

more than 20% year-over-year decreases.

» Though overall M&A activity has been slower, the rate of cross-border

deals has increased. 9.8% of European deal flow involved a North

American acquirer in 1H 2017.

» Private equity now makes up a larger part of total M&A activity.

Sponsor-backed acquisitions have grown steadily from 24.7% of all

transactions in 1Q 2016 to 29.8% in 2Q 2017.

The pace of M&A activity, while strong on a historical basis, decreased

significantly in the first half of the year. European and North American

markets have shown distinctly different pricing trends, while sectors such

as IT have grown in popularity in both regions. Beginning this quarter,

we’ve included estimates on top of the usual deal flow data that our

readers are accustomed to. Due to the nature of private market data,

information often does not become available until well after a transaction

takes place, so shifts tend to occur over time. With these new estimates,

we aim to provide an even more comprehensive picture of the private

markets. Please see the methodology page of this report for more details.

We hope this report is useful in your practice. As always, feel free to send

The M& A cycle winds downOverview

Set for a decline in volume & value

M&A activity in North America & Europe

After two years of gargantuan M&A

activity, the pace of consolidation

slowed in the first half of the year,

largely in response to perceptions

of political and economic

uncertainty. In North America

and Europe, $910.6 billion in deal

value was completed across 8,982

transactions in 1H 2017 (estimated).

At this pace, 2017 on the whole

would see a decrease exceeding

20% in both volume and value of

M&A transactions.

European market slows, despite asset

inflation

Activity fell sharply in Europe,

which is unexpected, given the

recent stock market gains and

promising GDP growth figures

out of the region. What’s more,

the ECB insists it won’t stop its

QE program anytime soon, which

should only bolster asset prices

and investor confidence further.

However, many potential buyers

are worried about what might

happen when the music stops:

when the ECB does finally raise

rates, when Brexit negotiations

turn sour, or when another member

country decides to seriously

consider leaving the EU. Each

of these could have an adverse

impact on regional trade and

therefore gives many potential

buyers cause for concern. The

median EV/EBITDA multiple for

M&A transactions in Europe fell to

just 8.1x in 1H 2017, slightly below

the 8.3x recorded for the entirety

of last year and the lowest figure

since 2013.

North America holds on

The M&A slowdown has been less

pronounced in North America,

which investors still view as

relatively stable compared to other

economic regions. The median

EV/EBITDA multiple jumped from

9.7x in 1Q to 10.4x in 2Q, but has

stayed at more-or-less 10 times

earnings for the last 18 months.

This expensive environment causes

concern for many dealmakers.

$627.7 billion in deal value

was completed across 4,584

transactions in 1H 2017—on pace

for 18.5% and 23.6% year-over-

year decreases, respectively. On a

historical basis, however, activity

is still very strong. 2017 is on pace

to see the third-most deal value of

any year since 2010.

Transactions trend larger

The median M&A deal size has

skyrocketed to $45.0 million in 1H

2017, up from $30.9 million for the

entirety of last year. For the almost

one-third of M&A transactions that

are backed by PE sponsors, larger

fundraises and easy access to

leveraged loans have allowed—and

in some cases necessitated—that

target sizes balloon. The median

size for platform buyouts in 1H 2017

was $159.9 million, a 52% increase

from the $105.0 million recorded

last year. Add-on buyouts have

also grown in terms of enterprise

value, likely to retain compatibility

with their platform company

counterparts. The median deal

size for add-on transactions in 1H

2017 was $95.0 million, more than

double the $40.0 million we saw in

2016.

2017 sees increase in dealmaking across the pondCross-border Investment

Sudden rise from 2016

M&A activity in North America with Europe-based acquirer participation

Cross-Atlantic activity on the rise

Though overall M&A activity in

North America and Europe has

been slower in 1H 2017, the rate of

cross-border deals has increased.

9.8% of European deal flow

involved a North American acquirer

in the first half of the year, a figure

that has risen steadily from 7.65%

in 2010. One cause of this increase

is the broadening reach of North

American PE firms, many of whom

now have well-established offices

in Europe and elsewhere around

the globe. Similarly, though to a

lesser extent, European investors

are upping their antes across the

Atlantic. 6.8% of North American

deals now involve European

investors, up from 5.3% in 2016.

Moreover, cross-Atlantic deals

are on pace to set new records

in terms of the value of those

transactions. $138.3 billion in deal

value was completed by European

investors in North America in 2017

thus far, on pace to beat last year’s

total by 94%. In Europe, North

American investors completed

$67.1 billion in transaction value in

the first half, on pace for a 34% YoY

increase.

Despite—or perhaps because

of—the fears of protectionist

policies and an ensuing slowdown

in global trade, dealmakers aren’t

suppressing their own international

ambitions. Modern technology

and workplace tools have only

made cross-border collaboration

easier for multinational companies.

At the same time, consolidation

within the asset management and

PE industries means that more

investors will have a global reach.

IT M&A activity

Median IT deal size ($M) IT M&A (#) by acquirer type

Technology-focused companies

have become a more prominent

part of the global economy

and, subsequently, the M&A

marketplace. IT deals accounted for

18.6% of all transactions through

1H 2017, up from 15.9% last year

and the highest in our dataset. The

growth is driven mostly by financial

sponsors, who are attracted by a

maturing industry with recurring

revenue streams, but also strong

prospects for growth in the next

decade. PE firms accounted for

29.5% of all tech deals in 1H 2017,

the highest of any year since at

least 2010.

While tech deals make up a larger

portion of activity, we’ve seen a

smaller percentage of total deal

value come from the IT sector. Just

11.6% of completed transaction

value was attributed to IT

companies in 1H 2017, compared to

20.8% last year. However, industry

observants should not be fooled

into thinking this trend is indicative

of smaller tech deals coming to

market. In fact, median deal size

in the industry has grown in each

of the last two quarters and now

sits at $45 million. Instead, 2017

has been marked by the absence

of mega-deals that we witnessed

in 2016, including Dell’s $67 billion

take-private of EMC, Avago’s $35.7

billion merger with Broadcom,

and SoftBank’s £24.35 billion

acquisition of ARM. We expect

these larger transactions to pick

up in the second half of the year as

technology-focused mega-funds at

firms such as SoftBank, Silver Lake

and Vista Equity continue to deploy

capital in this area.

Omnichannel strategy drives recent high-profile dealsSpotlight: B2C

Deal flow slow to start 2017

B2C activity

B2C M&A (#) by acquirer type

Consumer-focused companies—

especially those in the retail,

apparel and restaurant industries—

have been rocked by changing

consumer preferences and the

growing dominance of e-commerce

over the last few years. Such a

dynamic business environment

often necessitates adaptation,

which sometimes means survival by

acquisition. “If you can’t beat them,

join them,” the saying goes. In 2016,

nearly 4,800 B2C M&A transactions

were completed, totaling $561.9

billion in value, the latter of which

is the highest since at least 2010.

And while dealmakers in this

industry got off to a slow start in

1H 2017, we expect deal flow to

increase again in 2H, given that the

fundamental factors disrupting the

industry are still in play.

Such disruption in today’s economy

often means blending online and

traditional distribution strategies,

sometimes called an “omnichannel”

approach. Consider Nike, which

recently decided to start selling

its shoes directly through Amazon

after its traditional retail approach

had struggled. Other examples

of blending digital with brick-

and-mortar strategies include

Walmart’s recent deal to acquire

digital native Bonobos and

Amazon’s recently announced

acquisition of Whole Foods.

PE involvement in the B2C sector

has accounted for about one

quarter of all M&A activity since

2011, but we expect PE involvement

to increase in the coming years.

Turnaround artists will have plenty

of work as more and more of these

companies struggle to adapt in this

changing market.

Given current public market valuations, it is unsurprising most PE firms are still shying away from take-privates.

Exit cycle slows

The number of PE-backed exits

in North America and Europe

decreased by 9.4% in 2016 and

is on pace to decrease by an

additional 20.5% this year. 51.6%

of the 988 exits in 1H 2017 were

sold to other PE firms—the highest

such percentage on record. As

PE becomes a more prominent

part of the M&A landscape, we

expect the frequency with which

companies change hands between

two financial sponsors to remain

high. It ’s possible that some limited

partners will be exposed to funds

on both sides of a deal, meaning

that they’re paying transaction and

advisory fees to sell a company

to themselves. General partners

will argue, however, that value can

still be created after a secondary

buyout since different firms have

expertise with different scales

or operational improvement

methodologies.

Methodology

Deal Flow Estimation

Due to the nature of private market

data, information often does not

become available until well after a

transaction takes place. To provide

the most accurate data possible,

we estimate how much of this new

information will become available

in the next quarter by calculating

the average percentage change in

deal flow from the first to second

reporting cycle over the trailing 24

months. We then add this estimate

to the reported figure for the most

recent quarter. Both the original

reported figure and the estimated

figure are provided for your

reference.

Note: Corporate asset purchases

were not considered an eligible

transaction type until the 2Q 2017

edition of this report. As such,

some historical deal flow figures

will have shifted beginning at this

time.

M&A is defined as the substantive

transfer of control or ownership.

We track only completed control

transactions. Eligible transaction

types include control acquisitions,

leveraged buyouts (including

asset acquisitions), corporate

divestitures, corporate asset

purchases, reverse mergers, spin-

offs, and asset divestitures.

• Debt restructuring or any other

liquidity, self-tenders (in which

a company undertakes an offer

for a typically limited number

of its own shares to ward off

a hostile takeover) or internal

reorganizations are not included

• The target company (the

entity being acquired) must be

headquartered in either North

America or Europe

• Announced, rumored or canceled

deals are not included

• Aggregate transaction value is

not extrapolated using known deal

values, unless otherwise noted as

estimated
