  • Education Technology & Services Market
    Market Update Education Key Highlights The top subsector stock performer in Q4 2019 Technology was digital educational content & services, up 13.7% year-over-year & Services On average, EBITDA multiples for the subsectors decreased 0.5x from the prior quarter and were Q4 2019 down 0.8x on a year-over-year basis 2020 Forecast…Sustained Robust Deal Activity Focused on High Quality Assets and Strong Outcomes-Driven Business Models For several years now, we have been predicting continued consolidation within the education technology and services market. Merger and acquisition activity of all types within the sector has been robust, with overall transaction volumes repeatedly surpassing year-over-year levels by healthy margins. Even with ongoing strategic consolidation in the space, ever-increasing private equity interest in the education sector has been the primary driver of continued strong transaction levels and increasing valuations. A record amount of available capital, or “dry powder,” and elevated interest in software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) business models were the primary underlying factors driving private equity interest levels in ed tech businesses. Interest in high quality education providers has also been robust, underpinned by strong outcome-driven theses behind businesses built to solve the “achievement gap” and/or “skills gap” problem with a keen focus on value proposition to the consumer. In the early childhood segment, activity levels remain high, driven by continued professionalization and consolidation within an otherwise highly fragmented global market. And in the proprietary postsecondary sector, after a “decade of pain,” M&A has made a comeback with several new investments by private equity investors seeking premium operators in markets with strong supply/ demand imbalances.
