Canada s Buyout & Private Equity Market in Q1 2014 Prepared by for Canada s Venture Capital & Private Equity Association
Canadian buyout-pe market trends Deal-making in Canada s buyout and related private equity (PE) market increased in the first three months of 2014 particularly in dollar terms. Disclosed values of transactions (announced and completed) totaled $4.6 billion in this period, or effectively double the $2.3 billion in values reported at the same time in 2013. 1 The number of deals done between January and March was also slightly higher on a year-over-year basis. Control-stake acquisitions, minority investments and other PE transactions (announced and completed) in the domestic market totaled 77 this time around, up 3% from Q1 2013. The significant growth in dollars invested in the Canadian market in Q1 2014 owed to a number of major buyout-pe transactions. These included the final closings of a couple of previously-announced $1 billion-plus deals the take-private acquisition of Mississauga, Ontario-based Patheon Inc., and the acquisition of Québec City-based Atrium Innovations Inc. Other large-sized transactions included a major investment in Tiverton, Ontario s Bruce Power LP, and the buyout of Windsor, Ontario s Jamieson Laboratories Ltd. In the first quarter, the two large-cap transactions accounted for over half (56%) of all disclosed disbursements made in the Canadian market. Deals sized between $100 million and $500 million captured the second largest share, or one-third of dollar flows, while deals sized less than $100 million captured the balance. Trends in the US buyout-pe market Deal-making activity in the American buyout-pe market also expanded substantially in dollar terms in the first quarter of 2014. Transactions (announced and completed) in the United States absorbed US$67.4 billion in disclosed values in this period, which is more than triple the amount reported at the same time in 2013. Canadian market trends by sector Canadian oil and gas companies took the leading share by the number of buyout-pe transactions (announced and completed) in the first three months of 2014, or 17% of the total. Not far behind was activity in manufacturing and processing sectors, which garnered a 16% share this time around, followed by activity in information and media sectors, which garnered a 12% share. Overview of Canadian Market Activity in Q1 2014 1 Of the 77 buyout-pe deals done in Canada in Q1 2014, 55, or 71% of the total, reflected values disclosed to. 2
With respect to disclosed dollars invested, domestic market activity was instead led in healthcare and life sciences sectors, which accounted for 57% of the total amount between January and March. In second spot were oil and gas businesses, which attracted close to one-fifth of all disbursements, followed by energy-power and environmental businesses, which attracted a 10% share. Canadian market trends by region By far the largest share of total Canadian buyout-pe transactions (announced and completed) reported in Q1 2014 involved businesses that were based in Québec (48%). A significant number of deals were also done in Ontario, which accounted for onequarter of the total number, followed by Alberta, which reflected a 21% market share. However, Ontario led domestic market activity in terms of disclosed dollar flows between January and March, accounting for exactly one-half of the overall amount. Québec-based businesses secured a 30% share of disbursements in the first quarter, while Alberta secured a one-fifth share. Canadian investor activity in global markets Year over year, Canadian large-cap and mid-cap buyout-pe funds were generally more active in global deal-making in the first three months of the year. Canadian funds led or participated in a total of 19 transactions abroad in this period, with these reflecting disclosed values of approximately $3.1 billion. This compares against a small number of deals valued at $2.1 billion that was reported at the same time last year. 2 The international market activity of Canadian funds was strongly focused on businesses located in the United States in Q1 2014. Indeed, between January and March, U.S.-based activity accounted for close to 80% of both transactions (announced or completed) and dollars invested by Canadian funds this time around. Trends in Canadian buyout-pe fund-raising Following record-breaking fund-raising results in 2013, Canadian buyout, mezzanine and other PE firms sustained high levels of market activity in the first quarter of 2014. New capital committed to partnerships and other funds totaled $3.5 billion in Q1 2014, which is more than triple the $1.1 billion committed to funds at the same time in 2013. New commitments went to a slightly smaller number of Canadian funds this time around. Successful partnership closings and other fund events totaled eight between January and March, compared to the ten fund-raisers recorded the year before. Overview of Canadian Market Activity in Q1 2014 2 Data reflect the total value of disclosed international deals in which Canadian funds have participated and not the specific Canadian financial contributions to these deals. 3
