Global and regional M&A: YTD 2015 2 www.mergermarket.com Global u 2015 has been a record year for global M&A with several regional records being broken, such as US and Asia posting their highest values, and some of the largest deal announcements. The total value of M&A reached a record level in late-November 2015, after the announcement of the world’s third largest M&A transaction in history. Pfizer’s US$ 183.7bn purchase of Allergan boosted total M&A values to US$ 3.90tn so far this year, 6.7% higher than the previous 2007 peak and 19.5% above 2014. u Despite a rise in interest rates on the horizon, the war on terror, Gr/Brexit and US elections next year, the steam for dealmakers billowed particularly hard during Q2-Q4. For the third quarter in a row, Q4 2015 has already hit a value above US$ 1tn with transactions amounting to US$1.02tn so far. The surge of activating during the last three quarters is the first of its kind, with both 2006 and 2007 only posting one quarter above US$ 1tn. u With cash to spend, banks continuing to lend, high board confidence and shareholders pushing for more M&A drove a huge increase in price tags above US$ 50bn and even US$ 100bn. There have only been five transactions above US$ 100bn ever announced, two of which were announced this year (Pfizer/Allergan, Ab InBev/SABMiller). There were a total of nine transactions above US$ 50bn that amounted to US$ 737.7bn, double 2014’s value for such bulge-bracket deals. As a result, these US$ 50bn announcements contribute a record share toward global M&A at 18.9%, up from just 7.9% during the peak for in 2007. u This year has seen high profile transformational deals across a variety of sectors. Six industries have reached an all-time record value so far this year, driven by global as well as sector specific influences. The sectors were Pharma, Medical & Biotech (US$ 558.0bn), Consumer (US$ 473.6bn), Technology (US$ 391.6bn), Business Services (US$ 215.5bn), Real Estate (US$ 213.8bn) and Defence (US$ 14.8bn). Energy, Mining & Utilities took the highest market share by value at 15% but with a 12.7% lower deal value compared to the whole of 2014.
