M&A Report 2024: gaining an edge in a market reset. The M&A market declined in 2023 as the valuation gap between what buyers wanted to spend and what sellers wanted to charge for their companies kept many would-be deals from happening. Looking Back at M&A in 2023: who wins in a down year? According to Bain & Company: - In 2023, the total M&A market dropped 15%, to $3 .2 trillion, the lowest level in a decade . - Strategic M&A declined 6% as buyers and sellers struggled to close the gap on valuations, and strategic deal multiples were the lowest they’ve been in a decade . - Deals were delayed for other reasons, including high interest rates, mixed macroeconomic signals, regulatory scrutiny, and geopolitical risks . How the Big Backlog Will Shape the 2024 M&A Agenda? - Many of the assets that didn’t come to market in the down year of 2023 will fuel active dealmaking in 2024 . - Corporates will sell assets that do not fit with their strategy, and private equity will sell aging portfolio companies . - The market expects more scale deals for consolidation before seeing a return to scope-oriented capability investing to drive growth . - As competition intensifies, conviction and speed will be necessary to win deals and make them succeed. The market expects to see more deals get done in 2024—if for no other reason than there are a lot of assets that should trade. #Arkios #ArkiosItaly #MergersAndAcquisitions #Growth

Global and Italian M&A trends 2023 and 2024 Outlook As we enter a new phase for dealmaking in 2024, successful dealmakers should look forward, not back. 2023 was the worst bear market in a decade, with -6% deal volumes at global level and -10% considering completed deals only. Italy M&A activity was 3% below last year, thanks to a higher share of mid market deals and domestic transactions. The decline in volumes was much higher for a drop in large tickets. A cautious optimism on M&A recovery in 2024 is based on improving financial markets conditions and CEOs’ and investors’ confidence. A further M&A push for financial investors comes from pent up buyers’ demand, backlog of failed sale processes for adverse market conditions or price gap, combined with the highest level of dry powder ever seen and an increasing share of private credit and hybrid instruments in private equities product portfolio. Growing pressure for strategic transformation and greater focus on value creation among companies will create more opportunities for corporate investors’ deal activity. Getting ready for the rebound: four essential takeaways for dealmakers Source: PWC #Arkios #ArkiosItaly ##MergersAndAcquisitions #Growth

M&A Q1 2024 - Industry Segmentation In terms of industry segmentation, there has been a diverse spread of M&A transactions across various sectors in Europe. The materials sector commanded the highest rank value, pointing towards strategic investments in infrastructure and sustainable resources. This is followed closely by financials, energy, and power, highlighting a balanced mix of traditional and emerging sectors driving M&A activities. The significant activity in media and entertainment aligns with the digital transformation trends observed across the globe. #Arkios #ArkiosItaly ##MergersAndAcquisitions #Growth

M&A Activity Was Moderate in the First Half of 2024 According to BCG, the M&A market has been active in 2024, but its rebound from last year’s trough has been slower than many observers anticipated. Even as financial conditions have generally improved, dealmakers remain cautious amid economic uncertainty, concerns about inflation and monetary policy, and regulatory and geopolitical headwinds. The global value of M&A activity in the first half of 2024 was $1.0 trillion. Although this figure is 4% higher than that of the same period last year, it is below the ten-year average of $1.5 trillion. Regional differences during the first six months of the year were significant: - Deals involving targets in the Americas had a total value of $647 billion, an increase of approximately 14% versus the first half of 2023. The vast majority (worth $631 billion) involved targets in North America, accounting for 61% of overall global M&A activity. US companies acquired most of these targets. - The value of European M&A totaled $255 billion, a 23% increase compared with the first six months of last year. Deal value in the UK increased by 185%, resulting in the country’s highest share of European dealmaking since 2015. Deal value also increased strongly in Sweden (138%), Spain (19%), and the Czech Republic (196%). In France (–25%) and Germany (–32%), aggregate deal value was lower than last year. - Deal value in Asia-Pacific declined by 40% to an 11-year low of $117 billion. The regional total was marked by declines in Japan (–67%), China (–36%), South Korea (–16%), and Australia (–39%). Brighter spots included India (55%), Singapore (41%), and Malaysia (266%). Many of the trends outlined in BCG’s 2023 M&A Report continue to promote a positive outlook for deal activity. BCG expects acquisitions that focus on technological capabilities and solutions to motivate many transactions in the coming years. Although the motivations are clear, many tailwinds and headwinds influence the timing of M&A activity. Chief among them is the availability of capital. Even if they have ample capital, however, dealmakers must navigate a mixed macroeconomic environment and business outlook. For example, the European Central Bank has cut interest rates to support the economy, and the US Federal Reserve may follow suit later this year. Stable or declining interest rates provide a favorable environment for dealmaking, while economic downturns can be good times for deal hunting. Another notable tailwind is the recovery of valuation levels in most sectors. This recovery has made it somewhat easier for buyers and sellers to agree on a purchase price. At the same time, volatility has decreased, providing a more stable backdrop for decision making. Even so, valuation gaps are still evident in many M&A negotiations, and some parties struggle to align their projections. #Arkios #ArkiosItaly #MergersAndAcquisitions

Global M&A by the Numbers - Q2 2024 An interesting study by S&P Global Market Intelligence shows how Second Quarter M&A were flat compared to First Quarter's levels, both in volume (with $552B transacted in Q2 against $555B in Q1) and in the number of deals (8,551 transactions, just 0.1% short of Q1). Nonetheless, the quarter saw a rise in transactions taking companies private, more than at any time in the last two years. The second quarter saw $67B transacted across 32 deals for this deal type, including 13 deals over $1B. The European M&A market experienced a recovery in Q2 2024 on a YoY basis. Transaction values for the period increased 29% despite the volume of deals dropping by 15% (3,524 to 2,986 deals). Two notable transactions include the acquisition of Covestro AG by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company for $15.4B, marking one of the largest cross-border deals of the quarter, along with consolidation in the Spanish banking sector with the merger of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. and Banco de Sabadell for a transaction value of $12.3B. The United Kingdom led all European countries in deal activity marking a strong interest for UK assets as they transition to a new labor government. #Arkios #ArkiosItaly #MergersAndAcquisitions #Growth
