The following report details completed mergers and acquisitions activity in Italy in April 2017 using data from the Zephyr database. It focuses on global deals activity by target company Click here to access the raw data in an Excel spreadsheet. Value growth driven by two EUR 500mn-plus deals The value of completed inbound mergers and acquisitions (M&A) targeting Italian companies in April rose for the third consecutive month to EUR 5,342 million, representing the highest of 2017 to date and the fifth largest recorded for the 12-months under review. The steady growth in the value of dealmaking, from a low of EUR 1,020 million in January (April 2016: EUR 1,475 million), came as a month-on-month decline in volume matched the lowest recorded in the 12 months and, at 35 deals, reversed gains made since January (35 deals). The growth in value was driven by two deals which together accounted for 61 per cent of the total and featured acquirors from Germany, France, China, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

PE and VC value at 12-month high, volume at highest since May A total of 6 inbound private equity and venture capital (PE and VC) deals worth an aggregate EUR 3,710 million completed during April as three of these deals with known values led to dealmaking which was five times higher month-on-month (March 2017: EUR 662 million) and represented a new 12-month high. Similarly, the volume of inbound PE and VC investment also rose for the second consecutive month from a low of 1 deal with an undisclosed value in February and, at 6 deals, was the second highest recorded since 7 deals completed during May 2016. Allianz Capital Partners, EDF Invest and DIF Management backed the month s largest deal by value, which involved the sale of a 10 per cent stake in Autostrade per l Italia for EUR 2,510 million.

Outbound Italian M&A value rockets in April, despite slight decline in volume The value of outbound Italian M&A increased significantly in April as deals worth a combined EUR 402 million completed during the month. This compares well with the EUR 123 million recorded in March and the EUR 133 million-worth of deals closed in April 2016. By contrast, volume actually declined both month-on-month and year-onyear. In April just 6 deals were completed, compared to 7 in March and 12 in April 2016. The bulk of the value invested in April was attributable to a single deal a EUR 400 million purchase of stakes in Romania-based E-Distributie Muntenia and Enel Energie Muntenia by Enel Investment Holding. This deal alone accounted for 99 per cent of outbound Italian investment in April and was considerably larger than the only other two deals with a known value, namely a funding round by UK-headquartered consumer saving application developer Oval Money and a capital increase by Defenx. Given the size of the month s largest deal in comparison with others that completed during the month under review, it is not surprising to see Romania top the value rankings in April. The EUR 400 million injected into companies in the country was solely due to the E-Distributie Muntenia and Enel Energie Muntenia deal. This represents the first time in over a year that Romania has been targeted by an Italian company; the last time was in March 2016, when it featured in a single deal worth EUR 95 million. The only other country to generate any value in April was the UK (EUR 2 million).

Outbound Italian PE and VC value slumps There were two PE and VC deals worth a combined EUR 1 million in April. This represents a decline in value from the EUR 34 million invested in March, despite volume being up slightly, from 1 deal last month. It was a slightly more positive showing yearon-year; in April 2016 1 deal was completed, although it did not have a disclosed value, meaning value was up year-on-year. Of the two deals completed in April, only one had a disclosed value. This was the aforementioned EUR 1 million investment in Oval Money by Bertoldi Holding, Intesa SanPaolo and B-Ventures. As such, the UK led the country rankings in terms of both volume and value.

Domestic M&A value avoids fourth consecutive decline An increase in the value of domestic Italian M&A in April brought an end to three consecutive monthly declines in April as 23 deals valued at combined EUR 419 million completed during the four weeks under review, compared to 43 completed deals worth EUR 407 million in March 2017. Year-on-year, volume and value were from 48 deals valued at a combined EUR 3,729 million in April 2016. The largest domestic deal in April involved the EUR 141 million acquisition of an additional 50 per cent stake in Banca Esperia by Mediobanca. This was closely followed by Space 2, Leonardo - Finmeccanica and In Orbit s EUR 137 million purchase of an 86 per cent stake in aircraft engines manufacturer Avio. Collectively, the top two deals accounted for more than 66 per cent of the total value of domestic Italian M&A in April. These top two deals made companies operating the banking and machinery, equipment, furniture and recycling, and transport sectors the most valuable targets in April, with EUR 141 million and EUR 137 million, respectively. In terms of volume, insurance companies led the way with 3 completed deals in April. They were followed by businesses in the metals and metal product; machinery, equipment, furniture and recycling; transport; chemicals, rubber and plastics; and food, beverages and tobacco sectors.
