  • Private Equity Buyout Deal Activity Slows in Q3 2018 Industry Fails to Maintain Momentum from Second Quarter’S Three-Year High
    Press Release 4th October 2018 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Private Equity Buyout Deal Activity Slows in Q3 2018 Industry fails to maintain momentum from second quarter’s three-year high There were 1,205 private equity-backed buyout deals announced in Q3 2018, worth a combined $93bn. Preqin expects these figures to rise by up to 5% as more information becomes available, but nonetheless the quarter seems unlikely to match the $129bn announced through 1,274 deals in Q2. Deals made in North America accounted for the largest proportion of activity, with 637 deals announced worth $51bn. Although public-to-private deals accounted for just 1% of deals announced in the quarter, these deals made up 13% of deal value. This is predominantly due to two large public-to-private deals, including the largest deal announced this quarter: the $6.9bn acquisition of Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. by a consortium of investors. For more information and analysis, see the full Q3 2018 Buyout Deals and Exits factsheet here: http://docs.preqin.com/reports/Preqin-Buyout-Deals-and-Exits-Q3-2018.pdf Key Private Equity-Backed Buyout Deals & Exits Facts: • Q3 2018 saw 1,205 private equity-backed buyout deals announced worth a combined $93bn. This is down from Q2 which saw 1,274 deals worth $129bn. • There were 637 deals announced in North America for a total of $51bn. Europe saw 430 deals worth $23bn, while Asia saw 69 deals worth $13bn. • Add-ons and buyouts accounted for the largest proportions of the number of deals announced, with 41% and 39% respectively. Buyouts also accounted for almost half (44%) of deal value in the quarter.
