Overview of Canadian PE Buyout Market Activity in Q2 2016
Canadian buyout-PE market trends
Deal-making activity in Canada’s buyout and related private equity (PE) market showed mixed conditions in the first half of
2016 with increased deal values and declining deal volumes. A total of $10.1 billion was invested in 145 deals as of June
30th, which in dollar terms was up 30% from the same period the year prior and the most dollars invested in a first half
since 2007. Deal volumes however were down by 29% from the first six months of 2015, marking the fewest companies
funded in a first half since 2010.
Canadian private equity deal volumes were also down as compared to conventional merger & acquisition activity of
Canadian targets. As the number of M&A deals completed in the first half was only down 16% from the same period a year
ago, private equity has been seeing a greater decline in deal volumes as compared to alternative markets.
Top deals included CDP Capital’s $2.0 billion investment in Bombardier Transportation, Thomas H. Lee Partners’
investment in Give & Go Prepared Foods for $1.0 billion, and CPPIB’s $1.0 billion investment in Tiene Energy. At the end
of June, the ten largest transactions captured 78% of all disclosed disbursements made in the Canadian market.
Canadian market trends by sector
Canadian oil & gas, mining, and consumer related companies each tied for the largest share of buyout-PE dealmaking in
the first six months with 20 transactions apiece. Following a close second were manufacturing companies, with 16 deals,
while software and healthcare-related companies each came in third with ten transactions.
As measured by disclosed deal values, oil & gas companies continued to place first, unchanged from 2015, with a
combined $3.1 billion. The manufacturing sector placed second with $2.2 billion in disclosed deal values, while the
Consumer sector placed third with $1.5 billion.

Canadian market trends by region
The majority of buyout-PE transactions (announced and completed) in the Canadian market in the first half involved
businesses that were located in Québec (45%) and Ontario (28%). However, only the province of British Columbia
demonstrated any growth over the first six months of 2015, with 15 deals this year, an 88% increase. The number of deals
done declined substantially in Québec (by 30%), Alberta (by 31%), and Ontario (by 39%).
Though the number of deals done in Ontario declined in the first quarter, the province attracted the bulk of the largest
deals, securing $3.8 billion. Alberta-based companies attracted the second largest share, with $2.8 billion, while Québec
followed with $2.6 billion. Though British Columbia saw growth in its number of deals in the first half, most had undisclosed
values, leaving the province with only $724 million of disclosed disbursements.
Canadian investor activity in global markets
Canadian buyout and related PE funds were substantially less active in international transactions in the first half relative to
the year before. As of June 30th, Canadian funds led or participated in a total of 47 deals in other countries, and these
were valued at approximately $36 billion. This compares against a total of 76 deals valued at $65 billion reported in the first
half of 2015. Topping the list was Florida-based security services provider ADT, which was acquired for $8.7 billion by PSP
Investments.
Trends in Canadian buyout-PE fund-raising
The fundraising activities of Canadian buyout funds maintained very strong levels in the first half of 2016 with a total of
$39.1 billion of new capital committed, led by the closings of Brookfield Capital Partners IV and Brookfield Infrastructure
Fund III.

Explanatory Notes
1. Data collected and analyzed by Thomson Reuters for this statistical report were drawn from a variety of sources. These include Thomson
Reuters M&A databases, regulatory filings, and public and proprietary sources among the members of Réseau du capital d’investissement
du Québec and other Canadian and non-resident fund managers responding to Thomson Reuters’ quarterly surveys.
2. All current and previous years data is as of Tuesday, July 26th, 2016. Data is continuously updated and is therefore subject to change.
3. All figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
4. Key statistical indicators (e.g., total disbursements, per quarter or per annum) are influenced by the fact that a substantial fraction of buyout
and other PE deals are not fully disclosed. For instance, “dollars invested” in a given period pertain only to those deals with values that
have been published or confidentially disclosed to Thomson Reuters.
5. The data also highlight the deal-making of Canadian funds in non-Canadian companies. “Dollars invested” pertain to the total value of
disclosed deals in which Canadian funds have participated and not the specific Canadian financial contributions to these deals.
6. Statistical data reflect all essential forms of buyout-PE deal-making, including control-stake acquisitions of businesses, minority equity
investments, restructuring and special-situations transactions, mezzanine deals over $3 million, and other quasi-equity investments.
