3 M&A TRANSACTION TRACKER / Introduction and Overview Introduction and Overview American Appraisal s M&A Transaction Tracker provides insight into M&A activity across various market sectors and regions over the latest 12 months ( LTM ) ended December 31, As part of our analysis of the M&A environment, we have compiled deal volume; aggregate deal values; and implied revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ( EBITDA ) multiples of the observed M&A transactions over the past 12 months. In addition to an analysis of private transactions, M&A Transaction Tracker presents public market data such as trading multiples and geographic composition of public companies to provide the reader with the tools for a comprehensive understanding of the industry sectors. Global markets are highly volatile, and industry trends change very frequently. Due to these factors, American Appraisal plans to provide quarterly updates to M&A Transaction Tracker to appropriately capture these changing trends. Over the past 12 months, we observed a total of 14,883 transactions representing aggregate deal value of $1,955 billion. Deal volume and aggregate deal value by quarter are summarized in the following charts. For the purpose of this publication, deal volume is defined as the number of transactions announced and/or closed over the past 12 months. Value is defined as enterprise value ( EV ), or equity consideration plus net assumed liabilities. Q showed the highest M&A activity based on both volume and value.

4 M&A TRANSACTION TRACKER / Introduction and Overview In addition to the 10 industries displayed in the preceding charts, we segmented the market into the following five regions based on the location of the target company: United States/Canada,,, Africa/Middle East, and Latin America and. The charts below show the observed M&A activity over the past 12 months by region based on both volume and value. As displayed below, approximately 50% of all M&A activity over the past 12 months was in the United States and Canada % Region Breakout by Volume 4,023 27% Africa / Middle East 42,451 2% Region Breakout by Value ($m) 385,495 20% 6, ,267 Latin America and 400 3% 3,277 22% 973,461 50% Latin America and 60,592 3% To further understand the M&A environment over the past 12 months, we also gathered implied revenue and EBITDA multiples of the observed transactions. Revenue and EBITDA multiples were calculated based on the ratio of enterprise value, as previously defined, to the LTM revenue and EBITDA of the target companies as of the date of the acquisition. As most acquisitions take place in the private market, financial information needed to compute the multiples was not available for many of the transactions. The following charts present implied median revenue and EBITDA multiples based on sector and region, and computed using transactions that had available information. i Consumer Discretionary Consumer Staples Revenue and EBITDA Multiples by Sector Energy Healthcare Industrials IT Materials Telecom Utilities Revenue and EBITDA Multiples by Region Latin America and The sections that follow provide further information on the M&A activity and public market environment of each industry sector.
