1 QUARTERLY BRIEFING SEPTEMBER 2015 EUROPE M&A in the consulting industry Continental Western & Southern Europe
2 Foreword In the third of our quarterly briefings on M&A in the consulting industry we focus on Continental Western & Southern Europe, a region which includes Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland. Our analysis includes deals completed in that region involving consulting firms either as acquirer or acquiree during the period from 2013 until July It excludes UK & Ireland and the Nordics. We hope you find these briefings helpful and would love to hear from you either if you have any suggestions about how we can make them better or if you d like to speak to us about helping your firm with its growth strategy. Margaret Cameron-Waller Head of Growth Strategies and Solutions 2 Source Information Services Ltd 2015
3 Growth in the Continental Western & Southern European consulting market The Continental Western & Southern European consulting market grew by 3.9% in 2014, to a value slightly in excess of 16.5bn, as the region s economies continued to pull themselves clear of the financial crisis that had engulfed them for so long. But the extent to which growth had taken hold varied quite considerably from one country to the next, leaving any consulting firm with a pan-regional presence facing tricky decisions about where to direct its investment. The highest growth was found in Switzerland (7%) and the region s biggest market, Germany (6.5%), while Italy limped into positive territory by recording an underwhelming 0.4% growth. Meanwhile the Benelux consulting market seems, finally, to be moving in the right direction: it grew by 2.5% in 2014, following a long period of stagnation and ongoing concerns about the impact of competition from a huge freelance population (Netherlands) and companies moving headquarters overseas (Belgium). And the French consulting market achieved something similar growing by 2.4% even if most activity was driven by a small number of big multinational clients and benefitted big multinational consulting firms. The small Austrian market remains a concern it grew by just 2% in 2014 as the impact of a downturn in Eastern Europe and Russia hit the prospects of Austrian banks and there s little to suggest that the coming year won t be just as tough. But better news was to be found in Spain, another of Europe s most beleaguered consulting markets in recent years: the Iberian market as a whole (including Portugal) grew by a respectable 3.4% and growth in Spain was almost certainly higher than that. It s a recovery which starts from a significantly reduced base, but at least it s a recovery. Source Information Services Ltd
4 Continental Western & Southern Europe market structure We estimate there is a total of just over 9,000 firms in this region, with Germany having the most at 1,918. As we have found with other mature markets, the majority (90%+) of these firms employ under 200 people including many that are under 10 employees. Germany and Austria have a larger number of medium sized firms (200-1,000 staff) than we have found elsewhere in Europe.

5 Merger & acquisition activity in Continental Western & Southern Europe (July) major acquisition deal activity overview Having reviewed 31 months M&A activity by the major consulting firms in Continental Western & Southern Europe between 2013 and July 2015, we have identified 64 noteworthy deals both acquisitions and key strategic alliances. This figure includes deals where a Continental Western or Southern European headquartered consulting firm was either acquirer or acquiree. However, for KPMG, with a global HQ in the Netherlands, we ve only included deals in which the acquired organisation was based within the region (there were seven). The most notable large deals multi-billion Euro transactions were undertaken by technology firms, namely Atos and Capgemini. Atos made two major acquisitions: firstly, buying Bull IT consulting and services, headquartered in France and with over 9,000 staff, and secondly the outsourcing division of Xerox. The Bull deal strengthens Atos position in Europe, particularly in respect of cloud, cyber and big data, while the Xerox acquisition offers further services for clients on these areas. Capgemini also made the substantial acquisition of igate Corporation in April This US-based technology consulting and services provider has significant operations in India and will give Capgemini much greater scope there. It will also considerably increase their presence in the US, particularly in the healthcare market. Who s in the market to buy and what do they want? A starting point here is to outline the totality of consulting M&A in the region from 2013 to July In Figure 2 below, we can see that from the 64 overall deals completed, there were 39 where the acquiring firm was headquartered in the region and 25 where the firm was headquartered elsewhere. For example, the US-based Manpower Group bought a specialist HR firm in Germany. Roughly a third of all deals involved European firms buying others within the region but only ten involved a firm buying another headquartered in the same country (e.g. Roland Berger s acquisition of FMC Consultants). This suggests that international expansion and capability build remain a key driver of M&A activity.

6 Looking initially at the type of firm making acquisitions in this region, and using a segmentation originally pioneered by the UK s Management Consultancies Association and subsequently updated by us (see notes), it is apparent that Type A (which includes the Big Four accounting firms) were the most active category, as they have been recently in the US: they were involved in 34% of all transactions (22 deals). As well as the Big Four, BDO and Mazars completed several deals during this period, including acquisitions made by both firms in the African sub-continent. (Figure 3) Amongst Type O firms, two major advertising agencies, Omnicom and Publicis, both made acquisitions in the consulting arena while Type E firms (those with engineering businesses) made several purchases that increased their scale and depth of services. But it was Type T firms (technology firms) that, despite a relatively small number of deals, were responsible for the largest acquisitions, mostly buying other technology firms. Figure 3 Profile of deals undertaken by acquirer firm type July Type Number of deals % of total deals (by volume) A Audit 22 34% E Engineering 6 9% M general 10 16% O Other 6 9% P HR 3 5% S Strategy 2 3% T Technology 15 23% % Source: Source database; industry sources; Source analysis 6 Source Information Services Ltd 2015
7 Turning to the types of firm being acquired, some distinguishing features emerge (Figure 4). While technology firms account for the highest level of M&A activity (38% of all deals), niche consulting firms and non-consulting firms together account for almost half of all deals (41%) and in almost two-thirds of deals they are being acquired by Type A firms (largely the audit firms). There is no pattern, however, as to the specific type of capability being sought; in fact it s the range of capabilities being acquired that it arguably the most noteworthy thing about the deals being done. What we can say, however, is that a clear picture emerges of Big Four firms extending out into new or non-traditional areas to increase the depth and reach of their capabilities. We would expect to see this trend continuing over the next few years. Acquiree firms were headquartered across nineteen countries: nine in the region and ten in the rest of the world. Germany, France, Netherlands and USA were the country headquarters where the most deals were completed (60%), largely driven by acquirer activity by the Big Four, BDO and Atos. Figure 4 Profile of deals undertaken by acquiree firm type July Type Number of deals % of total deals (by volume) A Audit 6 9% E Engineering 5 8% M general 16 25% O Other 10 16% P HR 2 3% S Strategy 1 2% T Technology 24 38% % When the acquirer and acquiree profiles are compared (Figure 5), it is apparent that Type A and to a lesser extent Type T firms are generally buying outside their existing areas of expertise. Only six of the 22 deals done by Type A firms involved them buying other Type A firms: instead they tended to be buying niche management consulting expertise or technology firms. And while Type T firms did buy other firms of their type, they were also active in trying to acquire data and analytics capabilities, as well as specialist expertise in areas like automotive safety. Type E firms, by contrast, have tended to be buying firms within their existing area of expertise (that was the case in five out of six deals) and Type P and S firms also seem to be showing a preference for buying firms like themselves.

Examples include BDO buying a consulting firm in South Africa, and KPMG buying a German chemicals consulting operation.

9 What s also worth looking at is deals where a Continental Western or Southern European headquartered consulting firm was being acquired. US-based firms were behind these acquisitions in almost a third of all cases, followed by French firms, with 20% of deals. More than 50% of deals involved purchases of specialist consulting firms or non-consulting businesses. Examples include property consulting, life sciences, cloud consulting, payments technology and cyber services. Amongst the US firms making purchases, the marketing services conglomerate Omnicom purchased a digital consulting business based in Germany and AECOM Technology acquired an economic and social consulting firm with interests in Africa. These examples suggest that firms are seeking consulting that can deliver very specific capabilities in areas where the talent or expertise cannot easily be developed in-house.

10 Merger, acquisition and alliance activity by major firms July 2015 An analysis of M&A activity by major firms reveals that they were behind 17 of 64 deals (Figure 8). As mentioned previously, we have only included here those deals done by KPMG in the region, so acquisitions in other parts of the world are excluded. Although PwC was unique amongst the Big Four in making no acquisitions in the region during this period, neither did IBM or any of the top strategy firms. The majority of deals conducted by the other major firms (Accenture; Capgemini; Atos ) were to acquire technology consulting firms and specialist non-consulting capability. In the latter category, data and analytics, and assurance services were the services acquired.

11 Conclusions The notable feature about recent M&A activity in Continental Western and Southern Europe is the variety in the types of consulting firm that have been acquired. Only 10% of deals involve firms buying within their own country headquarters. Instead, whether it is firms headquartered outside the region or European based firms, both are looking to expand their global footprint and demonstrate the multi-country service offering that can be delivered to the world s largest corporates.
