ContentsOutlook for second half 2015:

• Following the Greek No vote, global markets have showed increasing signs of tension albeit without wide-spread panic. We believe July will be key in assessing the extent of the contagion risk and receptiveness of Europe’s markets to the pipeline of IPO candidates.

• Barring these factors, the trends observed in the first part of 2015 will continue and we expect continued IPO activity in the second part of the year:

- PE driven activity will continue, though at a slower pace as IPO exits compete with trade sales

- A number of spin-offs from large listed companies have already been announced, especially in the financial sector

- Privatisation programmes will also contribute sizable IPOs throughout Europe, including Italy, Netherlands and Poland

• There are other headwinds likely to impact Europe’s markets with volatility likely to be a recurring feature of the coming months, due to the uncertainty on US interest rates and the renewed concerns over the Chinese economy.

“We enter a period of uncertainty following the Greek referendum and wider concerns in the US and China may give rise to market turbulence and volatility. In this environment, a number of IPO plans may be derailed or postponed and in the short term we expect the summer holiday months to be relatively quiet. The pipeline for the second half of the year looks solid and we expect IPO activity to pick up towards the end of the third quarter.”

Figure 12: Top ten IPOs (value) in Q2 2015 “The weather is warm and the window is certainly open in Madrid. A strong start to the year with the Aena IPO has been quickly followed up in Q2, with Cellnex and Patentes Talgo standing out in terms of capital raised, with Euskatel successfully completing its IPO on 1 July. Entering the traditionally quieter summer period, we reflect upon what has been a fantastic year to date for the Spanish IPO market, far surpassing 2014 total proceeds already. With the improving economic indicators, we are hopeful of more positive news to follow for 2015, but also note the elections in November are likely to result in a slower end to the year.”

“After a few quiet years, a positive trend of IPOs on the Italian Stock Exchange began in mid 2014 and has continued through the first half of 2015. The ECB liquidity injection has improved the performance of the Italian equity markets, reducing volatility and improving conditions for companies entering the capital markets for the first time. There is a robust pipeline of Italian corporate and public service entities seeking out an IPO, most of which are monitoring the developments in Greece in order to plan the right time to approach the markets.“

Christian Alessandrini

“The second quarter has been good for French IPOs, especially PE-backed ones. All transactions raising more $50m were PE backed over the period, reflecting the renewed confidence in economic conditions in France. Investors are also keen to support innovation with healthcare being the most dynamic industry by number of IPOs. The pipeline remains good, although the uncertainty related to European and international geopolitics might hinder the potential level of activity in the coming months.”

“After leading the PE-backed trend for the last two years, US PE driven IPOs started to slow down six months ago and we are seeing a similar trend emerge in the UK. In stark contrast, PE exits across continental Europe remain active - whether this continues into the second half of the year remains to be seen due to the continued uncertainty over Greece.”Viv MaclachlanDirector in the UK Capital Markets Group

“We are now almost two years into the resurgence of PE-driven IPO activity and the backlog of IPO candidates is now naturally slowing. For some time we have seen a large number of these transactions being run as dual track processes and, as we see private and public valuations converge, trade sales become quite attractive, as essentially they provide a one-time exit to existing shareholders.”

• The US IPO market came back to life in the second quarter of 2015, increasing 83 percent in volume and 111 percent in proceeds raised, compared to the first quarter of 2015 which had been a record low. 75 IPOs completed in Q2 2015 raising €11.8bn, a significant increase over the first quarter’s 41 IPOs and €5.4bn in proceeds, despite slowing economic growth forecasts in the US and the uncertain interest rate environment.

• The healthcare industry continued to lead IPO market activity with 31 IPOs (41 % of total volume) - the high demand for these smaller biotechnology and biopharmaceutical IPOs showcases the interest among IPO investors for high-growth companies. On a total proceeds basis, Q2 was generally well-diversified, with the energy sector raising the highest proceeds – as energy prices slowly show signs of recovery.

• Companies continue to crystalize valuations through spin-off transactions to help create improved corporate clarity and visibility. There were 9 spin-offs that closed in the second quarter of 2015. This brought the total number of completed spin-offs for the year to 14, which already exceeds the total spin-offs in 2012 and is on track to surpass the 18 spin-offs in 2013.

• In Hong Kong, the second quarter took off after a slow start of the year with 46 IPOs raising €15.1bn, compared to €2.1bn in Q1 2015. Overall, the half year results more than doubled compared to last year, with €17.2bn raised in H1 2015 against €7.6bn in H1 2014.

• The new Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect program, along with the existing Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program have fuelled the positive IPO trend and define new growth opportunities and perspectives for companies and investors, reflected in the strong results of this first half-year.
