M&A PE All Deals
1. Introduction It has been 3 years since we took up the Dealtracker initiative as a bi-monthly newsletter to cover the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and private equity (PE) deals in the Indian market and it is indeed a matter of pride to be a part of the unprecedented M&A growth era of India Inc. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our readers for the excellent response, support and encouragement extended. We are happy to publish the Third Annual Issue of Dealtracker covering the year 2007. Globally M&A deals worth $4.48 trillion were announced during 2007 as against $3.61 trillion during 2006, i.e. a growth of 24%. The year 2007 has seen very significant deals in India in both Private Equity (PE) and Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A). Over this year, India Inc has not only been an important destination for International Private Equity funding and Inbound M&A’s but also has been highly active in acquiring International companies, thus expanding its global foothold. The year 2007 has witnessed a number of multi billion dollar deals for the first time in the history of Corporate India. The total value of deals (M&A and PE) announced in the calendar year 2007
was $70.14 billion as against $28.16 billion in 2006 and $18.35 billion in 2005. The average Indian M&A deal size was $75.61 Mn, while the average Indian PE deal size was $ 47 Mn during 2007. We have summarised the trend of M&A and PE deals during 2007 and presented a synopsis of top deals and sectoral performances over the year. 1.1 Key Highlights – 2007 •There were more than 1,000 deals in 2007 (M&A and PE together), as compared to 782 in 2006 and 467 deals in 2005. •There were 13 M&A deals with deal value of over $500 Mn in 2007 as compared to 8 deals and 7 deals in 2006 and 2005 respectively.
•The value of Cross Border deals (both Inbound and Outbound) announced in 2007 has almost tripled from 2006. The value of inbound deals increased from $5.1 billion in 2005 to $ 5.4 billion in 2006 to $15.5 billion this year and value of outbound deals increased from $4.3 billion in 2005 to $9.9 billion in 2006 to $32.8 billion in 2007. Tata-Corus, Vodafone-Hutch and Hindalco-Novelis deals accounted for 56.80% of total M&A deals during 2007. •The value of domestic deals announced has declined from $ 6.9 billion in 2005 to $ 4.99 billion in 2006 to $ 2.85 billion in 2007, even though the volume of domestic deals has increased from 151 deals in 2005 to 214 deals in 2006 to 321 deals in 2007.
•Though volume of M&A deals has grown by 40.83% during 2007 as compared to 2006, value of M&A deals has grown by an astounding 152%.

2. Mergers & Acquisitions The total number of M&A Deals announced during the calendar year 2007 stands at 676 with a total announced value of $51.12 billion as against 480 deals with a total announced value of $20.30 billion in 2006. There were 321 domestic deals (both acquirer and target being Indian) with an announced value of $2.85 billion and 355 cross-border deals with an announced value of $48.26 billion. 243 of the cross border deals were outbound deals (Indian companies acquiring businesses outside India) with a value of $32.76 billion and 112 were inbound deals (international companies or their subsidiaries acquiring Indian businesses) with an announced value of close to $15.5 billion. The average M&A deal value was $75.61 Mn during 2007. The average value of cross-border deals (both inbound and outbound) was $136 Mn which was significantly higher when compared to average value of domestic deals which was close to $9 Mn. 2.1 Sectoral Spread of M&A Deals Historically, sectors like Automotive, IT, Pharma, Banking sectors etc. were the leading players in M&A. However 2007 saw significant participation by sectors such as Commodities (which primarily comprised Steel, Aluminium and Metals & Ores), Telecom, Power & Energy, Real Estate & Infrastructure. Steel and Telecom sectors were the clear leaders as far as sectoral values were concerned. These sectors accounted for $14.9 billion and $ 11.3 billion worth of deals respectively. Together, they accounted for as much as 51% of the total M&A deal value during 2007 and more
than the total announced value of M&A deals in 2006. Tata Steel’s acquisition of Corus for $ 12.2 billion and Vodafone’s majority stake in Hutchison Essar for $10.83 billion were the major deals in these sectors.
The other sectors which have significantly contributed to M&A deal value in 2007 are Aluminum and Power & Energy. IT & ITeS leads the M&A volume proportion with 23.5% share of total number of M&A deals. Pharma, Healthcare & Biotech have the second highest share at 9.47%. Other significant contributors to the deal volume were Banking & Financial Services, Media, Entertainment & Publishing and FMCG, Food & Beverages sectors. The key sectors contributing to M&A in 2007 are shown in Table 2 below.

2.2 Multi Billion dollar M&A deals There were 7 “billion dollar” M&A deals in 2007 compared to none in 2006. India Inc also witnessed a lesser number of low value deals as compared to previous years. The deals for which value was not disclosed were typically small sized deals. The largest deals of 2007 were Tata-Corus and Vodafone-Hutch deals which were completed in early 2007 – making it the perfect start for a year of M&A transactions. Of the 7 “billion dollar” deals, 3 deals were in the metal sector, 2 deals in Power & Energy and 1 deal each in Telecom and Breweries & Distilleries sectors. Together, these 7 “billion dollar” deals accounted for 67.47% of total M&A during 2007. A list of M&A deals with deal value of $ 1 Billion+ are listed in Table 3.
2.3 Quarterly break-up of M&A deals Jan-Mar quarter witnessed the largest proportion of M&A’s in 2007 with $33.85 billion worth of deals – accounting for 66.22% of total M&A deals during 2007. As can be seen in table 4 below, both Domestic and cross border deals declined (value & volume) during Oct-Dec quarter compared to their previous quarters. The graphs below present the quarterly movement of Cross-Border Deals (by value & volume) for European and North-American regions. 2.4 Cross Border Deal Analysis Cross border deals increased significantly from 2006. There were 355 cross border deals worth US $ 48.26 bn this year as against 266 deals worth US $ 15.3 bn in 2006.There has been a phenomenal

Value wise PE Deal Break-up
During 2004-05, foreign private equity primarily foicussed on India’s IT and outsourcing story. However, currently the opportunities are wider and in multiple sectors.
The Real Estate & Infrastructure Management sector has witnessed continuous growth over the past two years. The number of investments in this sector has more than doubled in 2007 as compared to 2006. In terms of proportion of total PE investments, Real Estate and Infrastructure Management sector formed 6.3% in 2006 and 35.54% in 2007. The initiative taken by the Government of India towards liberalizing the regulations relating to foreign direct investment in construction and realty projects, and creation of more Special Economic Zones,
along with factors such as sustained high GDP, an upsurge in industrial activity and rapid urbanization have resulted in increased investment in the real estate sector – especially from international Private equity institutions.
3.2 Quarterly performance: PE investment in India witnessed an upward trend based on quarterly analysis. Oct – Dec quarter witnessed the largest share of PE investment in 2007 with 120 deals and an announced value of $7.29 billion. The value of investment in Jan – Mar quarter was comparatively lower at $2.98 billion and, even though the number of deals were as high as 112. 3.3 PE Investment trend 2005 – 2007: The year 2007 saw bigger investments than previous years. There were 6 deals
over $500Mn (3 of which were billion dollar deals) in 2007 compared to 1 in 2006 and none in 2005. The proportion of PE investments below $50 Mn was as high as 83% during 2005. This reduced to 71.5% in 2006 and further declined to 59.5% in 2007. Deals valued between $100Mn - $499.9Mn accounted for 11.6% of total PE investments in 2007 compared to 3.31% and 0.81% in 2006 and 2005.

In 2005 and 2006 majority of the PE investments was concentrated in IT & ITeS. In 2007 Technology companies were joined by Realty, Telecom, Banking & Financial services and Power & Energy sectors as favourite destination for PE investments. 4. Outlook for 2008 We had predicted 2007 to be a year of M&A juggernaut (and it proved to be one!) and we cannot say anything less about 2008 as we expect it to be a year of continuum. The trend in 2007 of increasing M&A activity will be sustained with a continued focus on cross border deals. We are seeing India Inc plunge in with continued vigour into cross border M&A with a series of acquisitions ranging from less than $1 Mn to $13 billion, across a wide range of sectors as diverse as
hotels, racing teams, steel mills, textiles, metals, entertainment etc The new and heightened deal activity is a sign of M&A becoming a key element of strategy for India Inc. There is strong growth in cross border deals, as India Inc is going with gusto across the world buying up companies. This is different from the state led acquisitions that China Inc is doing where the deals are big, strategic for China and comes with a significant element of push and support from the Government. India Inc is going about international acquisitions on its own steam. Increasing corporate capex,
investment in public infrastructure and fiscal stimuli will provide the impetus to further drive the M&A engine for India Inc. The attractive profit margins of Indian Corporates will only attract more private equity and the “India Shining” story is expected to continue. We expect PE houses to focus more on sectors such as Real Estate and Infrastructure Management, Retail, Aviation, Telecom and NBFCs. The juggernaut is expected to roll on in 2008… ABOUT GRANT THORNTON Grant Thornton India is the Indian member firm of Grant Thornton International, the fifth largest accountancy firm network in the world, with over 600 offices in over 110 countries and employing more than 22,000 people.
