Executive Summary

2013 European Private Equity Activity 6

Fundraising Investments Divestments

In 2013 the total fundraising of €53.6bn

was more than twice the volume of 2012.

This increase was driven by buyout funds of

which 12 funds raised more than €1bn each

and represented 66% of the total

fundraising. The number of funds in

fundraising decreased from 266 to 253.

Pension funds provided almost 40% of

sources of funds. Fund of funds contributed

16%, followed by sovereign wealth funds

(11%) and insurance companies (11%).

Around half of the amount (€26.2bn) was

raised from institutional investors outside

Europe.

Venture capital accounted for 8% of the

total fundraising. The €4bn raised showed

an increase of 4% compared to 2012. The

contribution from government agencies

remained stable at 38%. Family offices and

private individuals contributed 23% and fund

of funds 12%. Buyout fundraising increased

from €16.7bn in 2012 to €44.9bn

representing 84% of all fundraising. Growth

fundraising more than doubled to €1.2bn.

2 Overall investments in European

companies remained stable. More than

5,000 companies were backed in 2013 as

in the previous year. Equity investments

decreased by 3% to €35.7bn. More than

40% of the companies that received

investments in 2013 were backed for the

first time.

The total amount of venture capital

invested had increased by 5% to €3.4bn.

More than 3,000 companies were venture-

backed. Start-up stage investments

accounted for the majority of venture

capital activity by amount (55%) and number

of companies (59%).

More than 800 companies received buyout

investments. The related equity amount

invested reduced by 2% and the number of

companies by 9%.

Again more than 1,000 companies had

attracted growth investments. This

represented an increase of 6% by the

number of companies and a 10% decrease in

the amount of equity invested.

3 A total of 2,290 European companies

were exited representing former equity

investments of €33.2bn. The number of

companies increased by almost 10% while

the amount divested at cost increased by

54%. The most prominent exit routes by

amount were trade sale (27%), sale to

another private equity firm (26%) and sale of

quoted equity (14%). Almost 40% of the

divested companies followed these exit

routes.

The strength of public markets in 2013 was

reflected by the steep increase in

divestments by flotation (IPO). This exit

route increased more than seven times by

amount at cost (€2.2bn) and almost four

times by number of companies (23).

Divestments from venture capital

investments by equity amount at cost

increased by 21% to €2.2bn. Buyout related

exits at cost increased by 53% to €28bn. For

growth the total amount divested at cost

increased by 54% to €1.8bn.

Glossary

Venture Capital

Seed

Financing provided to research, assess and develop an initial concept before

a business has reached the start-up phase.

Start-up

Financing provided to companies for product development and initial

marketing. Companies may be in the process of being set up or may have

been in business for a short time, but have not sold their product

commercially.

Later-stage venture

Financing provided for the expansion of an operating company, which may or

may not be breaking even or trading profitably. Later-stage venture tends to

finance companies already backed by venture capital firms.

Growth

A type of private equity investment – most often a minority investment but

not necessarily – in relatively mature companies that are looking for capital

to expand operations, restructure operations or enter new markets.

Buyout

Financing provided to acquire a company. It may use a significant amount of

borrowed money to meet the cost of acquisition.

Rescue/Turnaround

Financing made available to an existing business, which has experienced

trading difficulties, with a view to re-establishing prosperity.

Replacement capital

The purchase of a minority stake of existing shares in a company from

another private equity firm or from another shareholder or shareholders.

Divestments

3 Divestments statistics explained

Industry statistics are an aggregation of figures according to the country of

the private equity firm’s office in charge of the divestment. At European

level, this relates to divestments made by European private equity firms

regardless of the location of the target company.

Market statistics are an aggregation of figures according to the location of the

portfolio company. At European level, this relates to divestments of European

companies regardless of the location of the private equity firm.

Divestment amounts (including write-offs) are recorded at cost (i.e. the total

amount divested is equal to the total amount invested before).

Glossary

Sale to another private equity firm

The sale of company shares to another direct private equity firm.

Sale to financial institution

The sale of company shares to banks, insurance companies, pension funds,

endowments, foundations and other asset managers other than private equity firms.

Trade sale

The sale of company shares to industrial investors.

Write-off

The total or partial write-down of a portfolio company’s value to zero or a symbolic

amount (sale for a nominal amount) with the consequent exit from the company or

reduction of the shares owned. The value of the investment is eliminated and the

return to investors is a full or partial loss.

Initial public offering (IPO)

The sale or distribution of a company’s shares to the public for the first time by listing

the company on the stock exchange.

Repayment of principal loans

If a private equity firm provided loans or purchased preference shares in the company

at the time of the investment, then their repayment according to the amortisation

schedule represents a decrease of the financial claim of the firm into the company, and

hence a divestment.

Repayment of silent partnership

A silent partnership is a type of mezzanine financing instrument. It is similar to a long-

term bank loan but, in contrast to a loan, a silent partnership is subject to a

subordination clause, so that in the event of insolvency all other creditors are paid

before the silent partner. The company has to repay the partnership and has to pay

interest and possibly a profit-related compensation. The subordination clause gives the

capital the status of equity despite its loan character. This financing instrument is

frequently used in Germany.

Sale of quoted equity

The sale of quoted shares only if connected to a former private equity investment, e.g.

sale of quoted shares after a lock-up period.
