  • Prestationsutveckling Hos Private Equity-Ägda Bolag
    Prestationsutveckling hos Private Equity-ägda bolag Patrick Nurmio Handledare: Eva Liljeblom Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi och statistik Svenska handelshögskolan Helsingfors 2017 i SVENSKA HANDELSHÖGSKOLAN Institution: Arbetets art: Avhandling Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi och statistik Författare och Studerandenummer: Datum: 30.07.2017 Patrick Nurmio, 111660 Avhandlingen rubrik: Prestationsutveckling hos Private Equity-ägda bolag Sammandrag: Denna magisteravhandling studerar prestationsutvecklingen hos 84 stycken europeiska Private Equity-ägda bolag under ägarskapsperioden. Tidsperioden för Private Equity- ägarskapsperioderna sträcker sig från 1998 till 2017 och omfattar således olika konjunkturlägen. En stor del av den tidigare forskningen är begränsad till den amerikanska marknaden och de nyare tidsperioderna som undersökts är till största del före finanskrisen. Således bidrar denna magisteravhandling med resultat på en lägre utforskad marknad samt en nyare tidsperiod. Den operativa prestationsutvecklingen i målföretagen undersöks i relation till jämförelsegruppen mellan entry- och exit-tidpunkterna av det belånade uppköpet (eng. Leveraged Buyout). Jämförelsegrupperna består totalt av 1680 bolag matchade enligt NACE- industribeteckningar och utgör därmed 20 stycken per målföretag. Mer specifikt granskas den justerade förändringen i lönsamheten, omsättningstillväxten, effektiviteten och antalet anställda hos målföretagen. Av dessa är den genomsnittliga årliga omsättningstillväxten på fem procent och effektivitetsutvecklingen mätt som omsättning/anställda på 27 procent och EBITDA/anställd på 13,4 procent i medianvärde signifikanta. Utöver detta studeras även determinanter för den operativa prestationen mätt som lönsamhet. Determinanterna är anställningsförändringen, effektivitetsutvecklingen, skuldsättningen och Private Equity- sponsorns hemland. Av dessa bidrar en procents ökning i antalet anställda med 4,9 procents ökning i EBITDA-marginalen och en procents ökning i EBITDA/anställd med en 3,5 procents ökning i EBITDA marginalen.
