Strong global IPO activity during Q4 2013 boosts FY13 performance

PE-backed IPOs and privatisations fuel revival of European IPO market

Continued strength in the equities markets, decreased market volatility and

improving macroeconomic circumstances are also expected to support strong IPO

momentum in 2014

Private equity-backed IPOs are anticipated to continue their robust contribution

to global IPO activity

Financials continue to dominate strengthened FO activity

The European IPO market revived as investors seem relieved that the Eurozone

crisis has dwindled and the Euro-area recession has ended

Both in terms of number of transactions (144) and money raised ($36.7bn),

European IPOs in 2013 strongly outperformed 2012

Pipeline continues to grow and momentum remains strong

The global FO level picked up during Q4 2013. The 2013 total outpaces 2012 by

15% in terms of money raised and 21% in number of deals

During the past quarter, the largest FO was the rights issue of Barclays ($9.9bn)

on LSE in October. Not surprisingly, and in line with this year’s trend, this money

was raised by a bank

Highlights

North American IPO activity in 2013 was at its highest level since the financial crisis in terms of money raised. Among the most notable IPOs were a number of large transactions, executed in Q4 2013 on NYSE: Plains GP Holding ($2.9bn), Hilton Worldwide Holdings ($2.7bn) and Twitter ($2.1bn). In terms of FO activity, more transactions were executed in 2013, and a larger amount of money was raised than in 2012. The largest North American FO of 2013 was the accelerated bookbuild of Facebook, raising $3.9bn on NASDAQ.

Europe also seems to be on track to recovery as ECM activity for 2013 is over 60% higher than in 2012 in terms of money raised. Money raised through IPOs more than doubled compared to last year. About 43% of the money raised in Europe via IPOs was PE-backed. The two largest European IPOs were both executed in Q4 on LSE: Royal Mail raised $3.2bn and Merlin Entertainment raised $1.7bn in its PE-backed transaction. The largest FOs globally in 2013 were executed by European banks: Barclays raised $9.9bn on LSE and Piraeus Bank raised $9.0bn on the Athens Stock Exchange.

Asian ECM activity was heavily affected by the regulatory ban on IPOs in China. Early December, China Securities Regulatory Commission announced the expected end of the IPO halt and a move to a registration-based system for new companies. Over 2013, no IPOs were executed on either Shenzhen or Shanghai Stock Exchange. Total IPO activity for 2013 stood at $47.9bn via 300 transactions. The largest transactions in Asia were the fully marketed FO of Japan Tobacco, raising $7.8bn on Tokyo Stock Exchange, the rights offer of China Merchants Bank ($5.5bn) on HKEx and Shanghai and the IPO of Suntory Beverage and Food on Tokyo Stock Exchange ($4.0bn).

The largest IPO of 2013 was executed in Brazil, where BB Seguridade Participacoes raised $5.7bn. Latin America saw the highest amount of money raised through IPOs and FOs in three years. Via 56 FOs, $24.0bn was raised. The second-largest transaction was the fully marketed FO of Grupo Financiero Banorte, raising $2.5bn on Mexican Stock Exchange.

In line with the global trend, Australasia also showed a pickup in ECM activity. In 2013, $20.7bn was raised via FOs (2012: $17.6bn) and $10.2bn via IPOs (2012: $1.5bn). The largest transaction was the IPO of Meridian Energy raising $1.6bn on both ASX and NZX. In Africa, a total of $0.7bn was raised via 15 IPOs, representing almost double the total amount raised during 2012. In terms of FO activity, Africa is slightly behind the previous year: via 36 transactions, a total of $3.6bn was raised.

Global PE-backed IPOs (2011 – 2013)

Highlights

Overview | Global Trends | European Trends | Case Study

In 2013, a total of $58.9bn was raised via 182 PE-backed IPOs. This represents the largest amount of money raised and the largest number of PE-backed IPOs since the start of the financial crisis. Over 48% of the money raised via PE-backed IPOs was raised in the fourth quarter of 2013.

The largest PE-backed IPOs were executed in the US. Furthermore, North American PE-backed activity in 2013 was over 2.5 times the activity in 2012 in terms of money raised. For Europe, the amount of money raised via PE-backed IPOs was even 5 times larger than in the previous year.

Asian PE-backed IPO activity decreased relative the previous year, which can partly be explained by the regulatory IPO ban in China.

Case Study: Twitter IPO on NYSE

On Thursday 7 November 2013, the Internet information network Twitter had its long-awaited debut on NYSE under the ticker: TWTR. Prior to the start of the trading, the company revealed its price in a tweet via its microblog. In the IPO, the company raised $2.1bn, including the overallotment option.

In September, Twitter confidentially filed as an “emerging growth company”. In line with the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, this status reduces the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requirements applicable to public companies. For instance, there is no requirement to audit the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and reduced disclosure obligations apply regarding executive compensation.

The pre-deal marketing of Twitter can be described as conservative. The initial filing range of Twitter was set at $17.00-$20.00, was then upscaled to $23.00-$25.00, and eventually settled at $26.00. The size of the offering remained unchanged. The good market conditions contributed to the robust demand with a string of flotations that had doubled or nearly doubled on debut in the months preceding. The oversubscribed order book was closed a day earlier than originally planned. This enabled the underwriters to select fewer and larger investors who generally have more intention to hold shares for a longer duration.

Twitter started trading at a slight premium compared to LinkedIn, Yelp and Zillow but lived up to the pre-deal hype by soaring 73% on its first day of trading.

The company is fast growing but still loss-making. The FY2012 revenue is over 11 times more the FY2010 revenue while the $422m in the first 9M of 2013 is about twice the prior year period. However, the strong growth comes at a price; in the first 9M of 2013 the company reported a loss of $134m.

The deal was structured without a dual class voting structure. Furthermore, no insiders sold their shares at the IPO.

The net proceeds of about $2.0bn are used for general corporate purposes (e.g. working capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures). About a third of the total underwriter discounts, commissions and offering expenses ($73m) was paid to the lead underwriter Goldman Sachs.

Case Study: Merlin Entertainment Group IPO on LSE

On Friday 8 November 2013, the amusement venue operator Merlin Entertainments had its IPO on the London Stock Exchange and raised $1.7bn (including the over-allotment option). The IPO took place amid a strong second half of the year for U.K. IPOs, the shares of Merlin closed 10.2% higher on its first day.

The company operates amusement parks, including the popular attractions Legoland, Madame Tussauds, Sea Life, the Dungeons and the London Eye. It is the biggest visitor attraction operator in Europe and the second largest in the world after Disney. Last year it pulled in more than 54 million visitors.

The pricing of the IPO was geared towards the top range of the original guidance (£2.70- £3.30), at £3.15. This gave Merlin a slight valuation premium compared to US peers (Six Flags and Cedar Fair) and a slight discount compared to the well established U.K. peer Whitbread.

The pilot marketing, which already started early this year, involved about 30 key investors. In July, the company announced that it had selected London Stock Exchange over New York. The marketing efforts contributed to a smooth bookbuilding process with the conversion rate of one-on-one roadshow meetings at more than 80% and the top 25 of the orders capturing two-thirds of the book. Approximately 12.5% of the allocated shares went to retail investors.

The deal fits into the trend of increased momentum for private equity-backed IPOs. Merlin’s major shareholders prior to the IPO were private equity firms Blackstone Group (32.0%), CVC Capital Partners (26.3%), and the Danish firm Kirkbi (34.3%), which also controls Lego Group. Kirkbi remains the largest shareholder with a 30.0% stake after the IPO. In the exercised over-allotment option, both Blackstone and CVC sold additional shares. As a result of this, they retain a 19.8% and 11.6% stake, respectively.

The £200m in proceeds from new issued shares is used to reduce debt (£130m) and restructure interest rate swaps (£35m). The deal related costs were £35m.
