Private Equity Newsletter Quarterly Special | Edition 2/2017 Dear Friends, Dear Clients, Dr PRIVATE EQUITY Newsletter QUARTERLY SPECIAL | EDITION 2/2017 CLOSED DEALS in H1 2017 within the German-speaking region NEW DEAL FLOW January - June 2017 in German-speaking region MOST RECENT STUDIES by Roland Berger Private Equity Newsletter Quarterly Special | Edition 2/2017 Dear Friends, dear Clients, Dr. Sascha Haghani We hope that 2017 continues to be successful for you with your current and upcoming deals. Roland Berger’s Investor Support Practice has had the opportunity to support many of you and your teams on numerous attractive transactions and we are looking forward to doing so also in the second half of the year. Christof Huth PE-related deal activity in H1 2017 has been good, amounting to 94 closed deals in the Ger- man-speaking region (up from 53 deals in H1 2016). Also deal flow has been strong, especially in Q1 2017; market participants widely expect this strong deal activity to continue into the second half of the year with an above-average deal flow over the summer months. Deal activity is driven by a combi- nation of favorable financing, a robust economy, and ample dry powder. From an industry perspective, consumer goods and engineered products had the highest deal activity in H1 2017 with 22% and 21% share of the overall deal flow, respectively. This is followed by Sven Kleindienst IT/Telecoms (13% of deal flow), healthcare (12%) and automotive (12%). Activity in automotive al- most doubled compared to the same period last year, driven amongst others also by the sale of Euro- pean carbon-related assets. In terms of target size, smaller mid-cap deals accounted for the majority of closed deals, but with a stable share of large-cap transactions. In the political arena, H1 2017 has been characterized by the newly elected US administration, embarking on a more US focused strategy, as well as by important elections in the UK and France, where Mr. Macron won on a largely pro-business agenda. Moreover, Brexit negotiations have been launched with its ultimate impact still not being evident. Despite of the political uncertainty, capital markets have held up well and many economists expect an economic revival in Europe, which PE Jan Felsen markets may also benefit from. A range of notable studies has been published by Roland Berger: Just to name a few, they address digitalization as an opportunity for the G20 countries (“Digitalization for the people: An agenda for more growth, better education and equal opportunities in the G20 countries”), provide a fresh E-mo- bility perspective (“E-mobility Index Q1 2017”) and look at opportunities in the German distressed M&A market (“Distressed M&A Studie 2017 (German only)”). Moreover, we are happy to announce that we have expanded our senior team in Investor Support with the appointment of Dr. Thorsten Groth as Principal. Dr. Thorsten Groth During these eventful but favorable times, Roland Berger’s Investor Support Practice wishes you a good deal flow and successful transactions on which we will be happy to support you. Yours sincerely Dr. Gerd Sievers Dr. Sascha Haghani Christof Huth Sven Kleindienst Jan Felsen Dr. Thorsten Groth Dr. Gerd Sievers 2 Roland Berger Private Equity Newsletter Quarterly Special | Edition 2/2017 Increased H1 2017 Closed Deals overall deal The number of closed deals in the first half of 2017 amounted to 94. This was significantly higher activity than the number of closed deals in the first half of 2016 (H1 2016 with 53 deals). However, com- pared to the first quarter of the year (Q1 2017 with 53 deals), the second quarter showed a clearly in H1 2017 lower level of closed deals (Q2 2017 with 41 deals). The leading deal makers year-to-date are Alpine Capital Partners, Ardian, AUCTUS Capital Part- ners, Bregal Unternehmerkapital and EQT Partners with three acquisitions each. 16 private equity companies further conducted two acquisitions each, including Armira Partners, AURELIUS, Capvis Equity Partners, DBAG, EMERAM Capital Partners and KKR.
