3 M&A Update 2014 was undoubtedly a breakout year for M&A dealmaking. Thompson Reuters reported that last year was the strongest year for dealmaking since before the recession with a 47% increase in the total value of worldwide M&A over Also, according to Bloomberg s Global M&A Market Review, North American deals increased by almost 55% in overall value compared to The leading sectors for last year were telecommunications and media, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, and energy. The drivers behind 2014 s M&A activity were the profusion of cash available to be deployed and low interest rate financing available. Additionally, while less applicable to the middle market, slower corporate growth and earnings lagging from recession recovery forced corporate giants to seek growth externally rather than focus on organic increases in revenue. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that in 2014, purchase price multiples reached 2007 levels, the pre-recession peak year. Like that pre-recession peak, multiples are being driven by high levels of leverage, with debt being available at well over 5x EBITDA. Deals for bigger companies, or those with $50 million or more in EBITDA, fetched an average of 9.7x EBITDA, just a hair lower than the 2007 level of 9.8x times EBITDA for such deals. Smaller companies were also sold for an average of 9.7x times EBITDA in 2014, higher than 9.3x average purchase price multiples that such companies were gone for in 2007, LCD s data show. Through November 2014, private equity firms paid an average of 9.7x a target company s trailing 12 months EBITDA, almost matching the historical high seen in The average multiple was up from 8.8x EBITDA in 2013, according to loan data tracker Standard & Poor s Capital IQ Leveraged Commentary and Data.
4 Private Equity Backed Exits According to deal research firm Preqin, 2014 represented the highest ever aggregate exit value for private equity buyout fund managers, with a total of 1,604 exits globally valued at $428 billion. This is up over 30% on the total value of exits in 2013, and is the highest ever annual value of private equity-backed buyout exits. This has resulted in a significant increase in the level of capital being returned to buyout fund investors, which had almost surpassed the full-year 2013 amount as of November 2014 (the latest data available). The total value of deals in 2014 reached $332 billion globally, the highest annual amount since Other Key Buyout Deal Market Facts for PE Backed Exits, According to Preqin: In 2014 there were 3,423 private equity-backed buyout deals announced globally with an aggregate value of $332 billion, representing the highest aggregate deal value since 2007 and a 10% increase on North America saw $181 billion of deals in 2014, a 2% fall on the aggregate value in the previous year despite an 11% rise in number of deals to 1,899. The total value of deals in Asia in 2014 ($42 billion) was 68% higher than the 2013 figure, compared to a 16% drop in number of deals in the region to 270 in The aggregate value of public-to-private transactions saw a notable drop from accounting for 30% of the total deal value in 2013 to 10% in 2014, due largely to the takeprivate acquisitions of H.J. Heinz Company, Dell Inc. and BMC Software in 2013 which totalled $59.8 billion. Small-cap investments valued at under $250 million accounted for 68% of the number of private equity deals announced globally in 2014, down from 76% in Deals in the mid-market range ($250m - $1 billion)comprised 24% of all deals in 2014, compared to 18% in the previous year M&A Outlook The continuation and expectations of these market factors will apparently make 2015 another record year in mergers & acquisitions. Ernst & Young s (E&Y) recently published US Capital Confidence Barometer suggests that the robust market will continue for the near term. An all time high of 80% of E&Y s respondents believe that the M&A market will improve in The majority of dealmakers asked were evaluating more than one deal and almost half were considering more than 5 potential transactions. E&Y also reports that the middle market will benefit from this bullish outlook. Expectations of deal value have significantly shifted toward middle market deals over the past 12 to 18 months. Prior M&A markets have been led by large cap transactions, followed by a period of focus on the middle market as acquirers fully digest their large acquisitions and reshape their future plans is on track to meet this trend. Pitchbook suggests that private equity has approximately $750 billion of dry powder available for dealmaking, along with a large portfolio of aging companies that will soon result in additional liquidity.

8 M&A Spotlight Stefanini IT Solutions announces merger with IHM Engenharia February 3, Brazilian IT services multinational Stefanini has started off 2015 with its engines on full-throttle. The company announced it is merging its operations with IHM Engenharia, a Brazil-based multi-sector engineering services firm, according to a Stefanini statement. The merger is aimed at increasing Stefanini's footprint in the industrial segment and follows the company's credo of joining forces with or acquiring companies whose portfolio complements that of Stefanini. Transaction consideration was not disclosed. The transaction is still subject to regulatory approvals. At a year-end press conference in December, CEO Marco Stefanini underlined that during 2015 the company would be resuming the previous year's rate of mergers and acquisitions, both in Brazil and abroad. Founded in 1994, IHM Engineering operates in the segments of mining, metals, chemicals, paper, agribusiness, food, automotive, power, and oil & gas, among others. Initially, the focus will be on areas where the two companies have direct operations and offices in Brazil. The partnership will then be successively extended to Latin America and other regions. For IHM, the deal allows it to take advantage of Stefanini's comprehensive international clout in order to expand outside Brazil. For more than two years, Stefanini has been ranked by Brazilian think-tank Fundação Dom Cabral as the most "globalized" Brazilian IT company and is the fourth most "international" IT company in the country, according to the latest ranking.
