Transcription

1 The Private Equity Breakdown Q 2009 PitchBook Data, a private equity-focused research firm, has published a comprehensive set of statistics analyzing United States private equity investment activity through the first three quarters of Year to date, there have been private equity deals and $33 billion in disclosed deal amounts, a figure that is roughly 0% less than the 1,32 deals closed in the first three quarters of The most recent quarter saw not only fewer deals done were closed -- but also much smaller deals in size, totaling just $7 billion in disclosed deal amounts. These results continue the downward trend initiated almost 2 years ago. While investment activity continues at a significantly slower pace, the decline appears to be leveling off, indicating that the bottom may have been attained or is near. A number of other factors, including an increase in newly announced deals and a steady rise in the median deal amount over the last year, provide positive indications that a change in direction may be occurring. Total Private Equity Deal Flow Deal volume is beginning to stabilize as investors search for undervalued opportunities. The number of deals in 3Q 2009 declined.1% from 21 in 2Q The capital invested in 3Q 2009 declined 2% from $12 billion in 2Q Contact PitchBook: l (212) l demo@pitchbook.com

2 PE Transactions (Count) by Industry Sector Through 3Q 2009 PE Transactions (Count) by Region Through 3Q 2009 Business Products & Services (B2B) represented the largest portion of deal flow (31%) as investors shifted their attention away from Consumer Products & Services (B2C) (2%), which tied B2B through 1H09 with 28%. Energy and Information Technology held steady during the quarter after declining significantly at the end of Healthcare and Energy were the only industries to see increases in the number of deals closed over last quarter. Investment activity continued to be fairly evenly dispersed throughout the United States. The South saw the most distinct increase in private equity activity during the third quarter of 2009, rising 38% from 2008 to represent 11% of deal flow. Percent of PE Transactions (Count) by Deal Size Percent of PE Investment (Total $ Amount) by Deal Size Lower middle-market and growth equity deals under $0 million remained the most popular during the third quarter of 2009 (approximately 0% of deal flow). However, in what may be a promising sign, activity in the two classifications above it made significant gains over the second quarter of 2009 (not shown on chart). Deals over $2. billion continue to decline as investors shift their focus to middle and lower middle-market deals where all-equity transactions are more prevalent and financing is slightly easier to obtain. Deals from $00 million to $1 billion and $0 million to $20 million have grown in popularity as investors pursue add-ons to strengthen their current platform companies. * Through ³Q ²⁰⁰⁹ Contact PitchBook: l (212) l demo@pitchbook.com

3 Distressed Companies Find A place in Private Equity Buyouts of Companies in Chapter 11 and % of Total Deal Flow Distressed investing as a percentage of the total private equity deal flow has been increasing steadily since the beginning of the year. Year to date, PE firms have acquired over 2 bankrupt companies, investing above $3.2 billion. Additionally, there are 1 similar deals announced this year that have yet to close. Distressed companies come with their challenges, but represent an attractive investment opportunity for PE firms because of their relatively low price, and cleaner post-bankruptcy balance sheets. The number of buyouts of bankrupt companies will most likely continue to rise as more companies run into trouble and private equity firms become more comfortable with distressed investing. Median Deal Amount by Year Median Deal Amount by Deal Type Median deal size increased to pre-recession levels as investors shifted their focus back toward the middle and upper-middle markets. This trend will be tested as private equity activity increases in the coming quarters. The median deal size for both Buyout and All Other categories made significant gains over the same numbers from last quarter. The median Buyout moved from $37 million at the end of the second quarter to $ million. Similarly, All Other deals moved from $18 million to $3 million over the same period.

4 The State of Private Equity Fundraising PitchBook s aggregated data and statistics for US private equity fundraising in the first three quarters of 2009 show that 1 funds were closed, raising over $98 billion for private equity investment. The third quarter of 2009 saw 11 funds closed for a total of $1.3 billion, versus 19 funds closed for a total of $28 billion during the second quarter of Funds over $00 million led fundraising activity in the third quarter, representing 90% of funds closed during the quarter and over $1 billion in total. While fundraising has slowed compared to the breakneck pace of the last two years, moves by LPs such as CalPERS, CalSTRS and Pennsylvania SERS to increase their allocations to private equity are a positive sign for fundraisers in the near term. Look for the rate of fundraising to continue its modest pace as investors decide how best to utilize the almost $00 billion in unspent capital amassed over the previous two years (as reported by PitchBook in June 2009).
