The so-expected "State of European Private Equity Report - H1 2024" from Gain.Pro provides a comprehensive overview of the private equity landscape in Europe. The report analyzes various aspects, including entries, add-ons, exits, holding periods, multiples, growth rates, and margins. Regarding entries, the report highlights a decline in buyout deal activity in 2023, attributed to high interest rates increasing borrowing costs for PE sponsors. However, Q1 2024 data indicates a promising trend, with the deal count exceeding both 2023 and pre-pandemic levels, suggesting a potential bottoming out of the market. In terms of add-ons, the report emphasizes the value of add-ons in driving revenue growth, cost synergies, and multiple arbitrage. Approximately 47% of PE-backed businesses employ a buy-and-build strategy, with Financial Services and Services leading in add-on activity. The report also highlights a meaningful slowdown in exits in 2023, with exit multiples contracting sharply. Holding periods for assets that exited remained elevated, with roughly 55% staying longer than 5 years in the portfolio. The share of strategic exits has risen to 48% in 2023, favoring strategic buyers who finance acquisitions via their balance sheets. Overall, the report showcases the strongest revenue growth for PE-backed assets in years, with TMT, Financial Services, and Science & Health leading the pack. The expansion of EBITDA margins emphasizes the significance of operational efficiency and strong cash flows in de-risking transactions for buyers. #privateequity #buildandbuy

📢 Financial services M&A activity picked up across Europe in the first 6 months of 2024, but remains muted, according to the results of our half-year analysis out today. The findings reveal: ➡Mild recovery: Deal numbers are up 38% from the latter half of 2023 but are 3% down from the same period last year. ➡Value dip: Total deal value has dropped to €17.1bn from €23.3bn year-on-year, even with a few big-ticket deals in the mix. ➡Spanish surge: A potential major deal in the Spanish market could boost deal value in the second half of this year. Overall, market resilience is evident despite prevailing high interest rates and global economic challenges. And if economic improvement continues as expected, then deal activity across Europe’s financial markets should continue to rise in the second half of this year. 🔍Read our full analysis, including a sector-specific view, here: https://lnkd.in/eRSb36rU #FinancialServices #MergersandAcquisitions #CorporateFinance
