Mergermarket.com

Global M&A in the first half of 2017 has seen a 8.4% increase by value despite 1,117 fewer deals on the same period last year. H1 2017 recorded US$ 1.49tn across 8,052 deals, compared to US$ 1.38tn with 9,169 deals. Companies have been looking at ‘future-proofing’ in the wake of rapid changes to technology and politics to keep ahead of rivals. There have been 17 megadeals (> US$ 10bn) announced since the beginning of the year, versus 14 such deals in H1 2016.

As faith in the market continues to grow, European M&A has surged ahead, securing a 32.3% share of the global value. Both the US (US$ 602.6bn, 2,446 deals) and Asia Pacific (exc. Japan) (US$ 272.9bn, 1,585 deals) saw their share drop to 40.4% and 18.3% from 42.8% and 21.3% respectively. Following political uncertainty across the continent earlier in the year, European activity rose by 28.7% in Q2 to US$ 271.2bn (1,450 deals) compared to Q1 2017 (US$ 210.7bn, 1,641 deals). With 3,091 announcements in H1 2017, dealmakers generated a substantial US$ 481.9bn-worth of deals in Europe representing a 30.1% increase on the same point in 2016 (US$ 370.5bn 3,732 deals).

As companies look to pursue their strategies of restructuring, increase efficiency and upgrade technology, the Energy, Mining & Utilities sector has been the most targeted industry globally by value with US$ 267.9bn across 662 deals. This represents a 51.9% growth over the equivalent period in 2016, which saw US$ 176.3bn (723 deals). An increase in larger deals, with 55 transactions above US$ 1bn announced in 2017 compared to 31 in H1 2016, formed the main reason for such lift, partially fuelled by some stabilisation of the oil prices.

With an abundance of ‘dry powder’ at hand, private equity has had a stellar year. Buyouts are up 26.7% by value to US$ 240bn (1,420 deals) on this time last year and exits up 19.4% to US$ 253.5bn (1,106 deals), following announcements such as LogiCor (US$ 13.8bn) and Pharmaceutical Product Development (US$ 9bn). The second quarter has been particularly strong with the highest quarterly buyout value (US$ 153.3bn) since Q2 2007 (US$ 362.9bn) and the highest exit value (US$ 166.1bn) on Mergermarket record (since 2001).

Europe

European M&A in H1 has mirrored the global trend, with this year’s value up 30.1% to US$ 481.9bn (3,091 deals), despite 641 fewer deals compared to the same period last year when 3,732 deals worth US$ 370.5bn were announced. Confidence appears to be growing in the European market following the elections in France and the Netherlands, where populist candidates were beaten. The second quarter of the year has been particularly active, with Q2’s value (US$ 271.2bn) 28.7% higher than in Q1 (US$ 210.7bn). The region now represents 32.3% of global M&A value, which stands at US$ 1.49tn, up from a 26.9% share at this point in 2016.

The ‘fewer but larger deals’ trend seen in 2017 – particularly in Q2 – has been one of the main causes of the value increase. Europe has received seven megadeals (> US$ 10bn) year-to-date, including four deals above US$ 20bn. This compares to just four megadeals in the first half of 2016, which included the US$ 45.9bn takeover of Syngenta by ChemChina. Four of the top five deals globally in 2017 targeted Europe, two of which were announced in Q2.

Inbound investment has been a key driver of activity in H1 with 593 deals worth US$ 211.1bn announced so far this year – the highest year-to-date value on Mergermarket record (since 2001) and 43.8% of total European M&A. Activity from outside Europe has grown 14.4% by value with 34 deals valued at over US$ 1bn each. Following the introduction of regulations on capital flight, Chinese investment into Europe has fallen to US$ 25.6bn (59 deals), a 65.7% drop in value compared to the same period last year (86 deals, US$ 74.8bn). With 342 deals worth US$ 146bn, the US has been the most active investor, accounting for a 69.2% of inbound activity by value.

Industrials & Chemicals once again led the way in Europe as it became the most targeted sector by both value and deal count. However, despite the tie-up between Praxair and Linde (US$ 45.5bn), the largest European deal across all sectors in 2017, the industry stands 19.2% behind last year’s value of US$ 108.6bn. With 648 deals worth US$ 87.7bn announced in H1 2017, the sector represents 18.2% of the region’s total value.

US

Structural changes around the globe have begun to break down and reshape not only traditional political identities but also long-standing industries, brought on by the ever-growing prevalence of technology in our daily lives. Despite geopolitical uncertainty, the US economy has remained strong, with low inflation, a steady jobs rate, and two interest rate raises in H1 2017. US M&A in the first half of the year reached US$ 602.6bn with 2,446 deals, an uptick in value of 2.4% from H1 2016 (US$ 588.5bn, 2,677 deals) and fall in deal count of 231. With more activity expected in the pipeline, what has given dealmakers pause is the increasing unpredictability of the administration’s policy agenda as well as its political future.

The top deal of Q2 was Becton, Dickinson and Company’s US$ 23.6bn bid for C.R. Bard, which drove up Pharma, Medical & Biotech (PMB) value by 31.4%. This was not enough, however, for PMB to regain its H1 2016 crown as top sector, which this year went to Consumer. The latter reached a record US$ 141.6bn, up 427.1% in value over the same period last year. In the spotlight was Amazon’s US$ 13.5bn June bid for Whole Foods. Though not the largest deal in the sector by far, it is widely expected to have massive implications for Retail, blurring the lines between Consumer and Technology.

By deal count it was Technology which finished H1 2017 with the most deals – 447 worth US$ 43.5bn. Of total deal count, Software was responsible for 74.5% of Technology’s overall activity, whilst accounting for 61.6% of the sector’s total value, with deals spanning the cloud computing, cybersecurity, fintech, and autonomous vehicle spaces. With its burgeoning imprint on such long-standing sectors as Financial Services, Industrials, and Medical, the number of Tech deals is only expected to increase.

Geopolitical concerns also had an effect on cross-border activity. With Brexit negotiations underway, UK bids for US companies reached US$ 91.1bn, their largest half-year values on Mergermarket record since H1 1999 (US$ 122.5bn, 53 deals) and 18.3x the total value in H1 2016 (US$ 5bn, 72 deals). In fact, the UK’s inbound M&A investment accounted for 42.8% of all US inbound activity for H1, which in turn also hit a record high of US$ 213bn, representing an increase of 27.4% in value over H1 2016 (US$ 167.2bn, 486 deals).

Central and South America

Central and South America’s dealmaking activity fell 3.6% in value in H1 2017 to US$ 25.2bn with 256 deals compared to H1 2016 (US$ 26.1bn, 260 deals), with this year marking its second-lowest H1 value since 2005 (US$ 17.7bn, 137 deals). Total deal value was also 47.9% below the 10-year average of US$ 48.3bn. Riddled with persistent corruption scandals and political unrest, the region has been struggling to recover from the economic downturn caused by a fall in oil prices several years ago.

The top deal in the second quarter was Brazil’s Itau Unibanco’s US$ 2bn acquisition of a 49.9% stake in domestic Financial Services company XP Investimentos CCTVM in May. The seventh-largest deal overall in the sector over the last five years, the transaction is an exit for one US private equity firm and two based in Brazil. XP is one of the largest firms in Brazil, with offices across the country and around the globe, and has also filed an IPO which is expected to take place later this year. Its relative success and growing global presence is one of the few bright spots emerging from the region despite domestic troubles.

Brazil was the main driver for M&A activity in the region, finishing H1 2017 with US$ 13.8bn and 134 deals, a rise in value of 20.2% over H1 2016 (US$ 11.5bn. 118 deals) though a 66.7% fall in value from H2 2016 (US$ 41.4bn, 163 deals) before corruption allegations had engulfed President Michel Temer. Mexico, the region’s second-most dominant economy, continued to make an incremental comeback in the first half of the year with US$ 5.1bn and 29 deals, up 25.6% from H2 2016 (US$ 4.1bn, 49 deals) and up 106.6% from H1 2016 (US$ 2.5bn, 43 deals), which in turn had seen a 75.6% fall in value from H1 2015 (US$ 10.1bn, 45 deals).

Inbound M&A fell 17.3% in H1 2017 by value to US$ 12.7bn with 135 deals, the second-lowest for a first half year since 2009 (US$ 6bn, 78 deals). However, this year has seen some multinationals divesting regional operations, partly due to political and economic instability. Japan’s Kirin sold its Brazil business to Dutch giant Heineken for US$ 1.1bn, with the latter planning to consolidate with its existing Brazilian operations. Germany’s ThyssenKrupp also offloaded its Brazilian subsidiary to Argentinian steel products firm Ternium for US$ 1.6bn. With Central and South America’s ongoing woes, more divestments could be on the way.

Asia-Pacific (excl. Japan)

Asia-Pacific (ex. Japan) recorded 1,585 deals valued at US$ 272.9bn in the first half of 2017. This represents a 7% decrease by deal value compared to the same period last year (US$ 293.5bn, 1,724 deals). China, which accounted for 49.1% of Asian deals, experienced a drop of 23.8% by value with only US$ 134bn across 675 deals announced, contrasting with H1 2016’s US$ 175.9bn-worth of deals (774 transactions) when the country contributed a 59.9% share of the region’s M&A.

The Energy, Mining & Utilities (EMU) sector, representing 16.5% market share by value in H1 2017, was the most active sector in the region with US$ 45bn-worth of deals across 136 transactions. Australia outperformed all other countries in Asia by value with over 50.4% of EMU dealmaking in the region, totalling 31 transactions worth US$ 22.6bn. Three of the top five EMU deals in Asia featured Australian targets, including the acquisition of a 50.4% stake in Endeavour Energy for US$ 5.6bn in May.

In comparison to H1 2016, Asia-Pacific’s outbound deal value decreased by 58.1% to only US$ 55.7bn across 268 deals. Tightened outbound M&A control imposed by Chinese regulators have dampened the deal flow from China (112 deals, US$ 35.5bn), with a significant impact on large ticket deals. The country alone saw 27 fewer deals into Europe in the first half of 2017, with deal value dropping by 65.7% to US$ 25.6bn across 59 deals, contrasting H1 2016’s record US$ 74.8bn across 86 deals, when the US$ 45.9bn ChemChina - Syngenta deal was announced.

With regulations restricting capital outflow, China has seen a shift back towards domestic activity with deals between Chinese bidders and targets comprising eight of the top 20 deals in the region. The largest of these saw a consortium of 11 investors acquire a 14.74% stake in Hengda Real Estate Group for US$ 5.8bn, the fourth biggest deal in Asia Pacific so far this year. Domestic deals accounted for 69% of Chinese dealmaking, compared to 56.3% in the first half of 2016.

Japan

In the first half-year of 2017 Japan’s M&A activity, at US$ 14.4bn, reached its lowest year-to-date figure in a decade, accounting for a value drop of 53.5% compared to H1 2016 (US$ 30.9bn). This fall was mainly caused by a 64% value decrease on the top five deals in H1 2017 (US$ 6.2bn) versus H1 2016 (US$ 17.1bn). However, deal count (213 deals) showed continued strength securing the same amount of deals seen in H1 2016.

The Industrial & Chemicals (I&C) sector, the most active sector by deal count in H1 2017 (51 deals), saw its value plummet by 58.5% to US$ 4bn in comparison to H1 2016 (US$ 9.7bn, 43 deals). I&C accounted for a market share of 28.1% by value driven by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co’s acquisition of Hitachi Koki Co for US$ 1.3bn.

Japan’s outbound dealmaking jumped 95.2% by value so far this year (US$ 33m, 145 deals) compared to H1 2016 (US$ 16.9bn, 138 deals). Deal count hit its second highest point in H1 2017, and was only nine deals short of the record in H1

2015 (154 deals). Looking forward to the second half year, companies remain interested in overseas acquisitions. Daichi Sankyo Healthcare has been seeking companies in the eye drop industry while Mitsui Chemicals is willing to spend over US$ 3bn on overseas expansion, according to Mergermarket intelligence.

Private Equity buyouts have reached US$ 3.3bn across 19 deals to record their highest first six months since 2011 (US$ 4.3bn). Despite deal count shrinking compared to H1 2016 (US$ 791m, 26 deals), total deal value increased by 4.2x following two investments worth over US$ 1bn each by KKR. The first half of 2017 was also a strong period for Japan’s private equity exits with 20 deals worth US$ 3.2bn announced, the highest year-to-date count since 2013 (25 deals). Total exit value saw a 424.5% growth from H1 2016 (US$ 620m, 14 deals), the second highest H1 figure on Mergermarket record (since 2001) behind 2011 (US$ 12bn, 12 deals).

Africa & Middle East

In the opening six months of 2017, M&A activity in the Middle East & Africa (MEA) has seen a mixed start, with 173 deals worth US$ 38.4bn announced. While the region stands 12.7% ahead of H1 2016’s value (228 deals, US$ 34bn), activity in Q2 (68 deals, US$ 8.2bn) dropped 72.7% by value in comparison to Q1 (105 deals, US$ 30.1bn). Only one of the region’s top 5 deals in 2017 was announced in Q2: South-Africa-based Vodacom Group’s US$ 2.6bn acquisition of a 34.94% stake in Safaricom.

The aforementioned deal between Vodacom Group and Kenya-based Safaricom became the largest announcement in the telecommunications sector in the Middle East & Africa since 2014 when Algerian firm FNI acquired 51% of Orascome Telecom Algerie for US$ 2.6bn. The acquisition of a 34.94% stake in Safaricom also became the largest deal in Kenya on Mergermarket record (since 2001), leaving the country’s total activity so far this year at US$ 2.9bn (13 deals).

MEA outbound M&A has soared to US$ 33.9bn (72 deals), behind the record half-year figure of US$ 54.7bn (76 deals) in 2007 and nearly four times higher than H1 2016 (US$ 9.5bn). The Middle East has been the main driver of outbound activity outside the region this year with 50 deals worth US$ 32.3bn, around 5x the equivalent value of H1 2016 (56 deals, US$ 6.4bn). UAE-based firms conducted the two largest outbound deals with the acquisitions of US-based Pharmaceutical Product Development (US$ 9.1bn) and Irish firm AWAS Aviation Capital (US$ 7.5bn) by ADIA/GIC Private Limited and Dubai Aerospace Enterprise respectively.

The Energy, Mining & Utilities sector has enjoyed a strong first half of 2017 in MEA and has been the most targeted sector by deal count. H1 2017 has seen four deals valued at over US$ 500m, two more than in H1 2016, including Exxon’s US$ 2.8bn acquisition of a 25% stake in the Rovuma Area 4 gas field – the largest deal so far this year. The sector remains second by value in the region, following the US$ 15bn takeover of Israel-based Mobileye in the Industrials & Chemicals sector.

Criteria

All data is based on transactions over US$ 5m and is based on Mergermarket’s M&A deals database. Deals with undisclosed deal values are included where the target’s turnover exceeds US$ 10m. Deals where the stake acquired is less than 30% will only be included if the value is greater than US$100m.

Full deal inclusion criteria can be found here.

M&A Trends and Top Deals correct as of 9am (GMT), 03-Jul-2017. Cut off date 30-Jun-2017. League tables correct as of 9am (GMT), 04-Jul-2017. Cut off date 30-Jun-2017.
