2015 Mergers & Acquisitions Q1 Market Review

2015 M&A Activity off to a strong start: After a year that delivered the largest global M&A aggregate

value announced since 2006 ($3.2 trillion announced in 2014), the deal making boom has continued into the first three months of 2015 with $776 billion announced, up 17% from Q1 2014.

Earnings Growth Estimates Decline: Following eight consecutive quarters of earnings growth, S&P

500 earnings are estimated to decline 2.8% in Q1 2015 versus Q1 2014. The strong dollar has impacted earnings of multinational companies, while lower commodity prices are negatively impacting the energy and materials sectors.

Sluggish Organic Growth Continues to Drive M&A: The M&A market has remained strong during

the start of 2015 as strategic acquirers continue to try to offset slow organic growth with acquisitions.

$1 Billion+ Deal Volume Climbs: In Q1 2015, the number of large ($1 billion+) transactions in the U.S.

was 53, up 26.1% from 42 in Q1 2014. The aggregate transaction value increased 48.7% from $219.7 billion in Q1 2014 to $326.6 billion in Q1 2015. The quarter also saw 12 mega deals (each valued in excess of $10 billion) announced in several different sectors, which accounted for a significant amount of announced transactions. Deals included Heinz/Kraft $55.0 billion, AbbVie/Pharmacyclics $19.9 billion, Pfizer/Hospira $17.1 billion, and OptumRx/Catamaran $14.2 billion.

Valuation Multiples Remain Strong Across Industry Sectors: Valuation multiples paid by acquirers

continued to be strong in Q1 2015. The Industrials and Materials, Healthcare, Software and Technology, and Consumer Products and Services Industries all saw takeover multiples remain near or above six-year highs.

Private Equity Volume/Aggregate Value Flat for Q1: The number of private equity-backed

transactions held steady on an LTM basis. The pace of PE fundraising slowed in Q1 2015 following a strong end to 2014. The number of fund closes was at a ten-year low in the quarter, although the average fund size to close was up 20% in the quarter. PE activity is expected to remain strong in 2015 with a significant number of funds in the market.
