INTRODUCTION

WEBCAPITALRIESGO

The Private Equity activity in Spain has experienced very difficult times in recent years. The crash of Lehman Brothers and the subprime crisis largely complicated the activity of PE firms, which had to focus even more in the management of investee firms. It has been a very difficult task to ob-tain the funding needed to complete a new Buyout. It also was not the right moment to divest, with stock markets closed and industrial investors trying to balance their accounts. The pantry was beginning to be empty and funds had to think about starting to raising money for their new vehi-cles, with the risk premium at a maximum level and the threat of a bail out. After a long journey in the desert local player started to convince limited partners that PE remained as a profitable finan-cing alternative in Spain.

The Spanish economy was gradually soaring and foreign investors showed again its confidence in the country. Even though some PE firms disappeared, many of them withstood the pressure and continued to provide value to their portfolio firms. A priceless experience that started to show posi-tive results in 2014, and continues in 2015, with the opening of an extraordinary divestment period in Spain.

This report details the keys of the divestment activity and its connection with the fundraising and investment activity.

OUTSTANDING DIVESTMENT ACTIVITY

WEBCAPITALRIESGO

The volume divested at cost in that year amounted to €4.77 billion, exceeding for the first time at this century the amount invested in the year (€3.46 billion), as stated in the AS-CRI´s 2015 Annual Report. This level of acti-vity has remained in the first half of 2015. 90% of the activity developed by Venture Capi-tal/Private Equity in Spain corresponds to the Private Equity3 segment.

Trade Sales peaked

Trade sales (industrial or financial) drove this significant volume last year, exceeding the pro-ceeds in the previous six years through this me-chanism, featuring the sale of the cable opera-tor ONO to Vodafone, which accounted for almost a third of the total. This divestment re-ported significant gains to the six investors in-volved in that deal: CCMP, Candover, Provi-dence, Quadrangle, Thomas Lee and Santander Capital Desarrollo.

The sale of the helicopter operator Inaer to Bri-tish company Babcock by Investindustrial (6x) and KKR (2.5x); and the sale of Mivisa to the US group Crown Holdings by N+1 and Bla-ckstone (2.4x), also reported significant gains. The Murcia-based manufacturer of tinplate for the food industry, is one of the most profitable companies for Private Equity activity in Spain, having completed 3 investment/divestment cy-cles. In 2001, PAI and Suala invested in the company, to sell the stake to CVC later in 2005. Subsequently, CVC and Oquendo (shareholder in 2008) divested again in 2011.

N+1 and Blackstone were the incoming inves-tors that exited in 2014. Other sales carried out last year were the sale of Grupo hospitalario Quirón (Doughty Hanson) to IDC Salud, leading its merger, or the Hofmann sale (Portobello and Realza) to the British company Photobox. The two largest Spanish commercial banks were present in two of the largest divestments in the first half of 2015. First, Banco Santander and the U.S. private equity firms Warburg Pin-cus and General Atlantic, agreed to merge the fund management firm Santander Asset Mana-gement with Pioneer Investments, resulting in a leading global asset management firm in Euro-pe and Latin America. Second, the private equity subsidiary of BBVA Valanza, sold its 57.5% stake in the hotel chain Occidental Ho-teles to the tourism-related group Barceló. In early 2015, we should also highlight the sale of funds advised by N+1 and Dinamia in Teltro-nic to the British company Sepura, which amounted to €124 million, representing a cash out of 2.4 times the investment in the company specializing in the manufacture of electronic systems and components.

Regarding IPO activity, the returns of eDreams and Applus+ IPOs in 2014, owned by Permira and Carlyle Group and Investindustrial, respec-tively, should also be highlighted.

3 Deals in firms in the expansion stage and consolidated firms: leveraged acquisitions (Buyouts), Replacement of shareholders, Turnaround and others, and any successive add-ons that there might later be in them are included.

Renewed IPO activity

2014 was a good year for VC/PE activity in Spain from all points of view, with a divest-ment activity that broke all historical records.

Also in the first half of 2015, the train manu-facturing company Talgo completed an IPO in the Spanish stock exchange, allowing the par-tial exit of Trilantic and MCH. In addition, the-re were also extis from private investments in public equity in Applus+ (Carlyle) and in Abertis (CVC). Even in early July 2015, the Basque cable operator Euskaltel completed an IPO in the Spanish stock exchange, which allowed divestments for Trilantic and Investin-dustrial.

In sum, several international investors have also managed to obtain significant gains for their limited partner through this exit mecha-nism, albeit after a long and uncertain period. Secondary buyouts (SBOs) also registered a significant activity in the period analyzed. Two large SBOs should be mentioned in 2014.

The first is the sale of Grupo Quirón, owned by Dougthy Hanson, to IDC Salud (CVC), which resulted in the merger of the two hospital groups. The second is the 49.9% sale of the stake held by Investindustrial in Port Aventura to KKR. In sum, international firms played an important role in the overall investment acti-

vity in Spain in 2014 (see next page), with their commitment representing the 78% total amount invested in Spain. They were involved in 26 mid- and large-size deals, with active par-ticipation from 16 investors. But SBO activity has decreased in 2015 due to existence of other exit alternatives, such as IPOs and, specially, by the increasing competition of industrial in-vestors. With the improved economic outlook and the renewed access to credit, industrial in-vestors are becoming buyers of portfolio firms and strong competitors of PE in the invest-ments that have been completed in the last few months.

SBOs do not lag behind

However, in the first half of this year, several outstanding SBOs took place, as the sale of the stake held by ProA and Talde in the food group Palacios to The Carlyle Group; the transfer of the recovery consumer credit platform Gesco-bro by Miura to the U.S. fund Cerberus; or the sale of funds advised by AC Desarrollo in Li-talsa, the independent provider of services in lithography and varnishing for packaging ma-nufacturers and shutters, to Realza Capital.

4 Of which, 28 were Private Equity and 5 Venture Capital deals. 2013 did not registered any VC middle market transaction..

Private sector-related domestic players showed a slightly different pattern. They experienced serious diffi-culties in materializing new investments between 2008 and 2010, due to the restricted access to bank financing. This situation even worsened in the following years due to the lack of fresh money as the investment periods in their existing funds finalized. As a consequence of the scarcity of own resources the investment activity in 2013 was very limited. Nevertheless, there was an improvement in 2014, which is expected to be even higher in 2015, as more investors have again new funds to invest. The con-tribution of public sector-related funds has remai-ned stable in recent years, mainly due to the contribution of Cofides. The contribution of private sector-related domestic funds to the middle market segment (€10 and €100 million) was significant. 33 mid-size deals4 were recorded in 2014, exceeding the minimum of 19 deals completed in 2013. Some deals to be highlighted are: the educational group Nace (Magnum), Industrias Dolz (Realza Capital), BQ (Diana), Tiendanimal (Miura), Rotor (ProA), Gestair (Nazca) or El Fornet d 'en Rossen (Corpfin). The public sector-related entity Cofides, also materialized important deals, such as the support for the international expansion of Acciona or Grupo Isolux. The middle mar-ket segment also showed a solid activity in the first half of 2015, with 19 deals (€552 million) compared to 12 (€243 million) in the first half of 2014, according to ASCRI’s preliminary statistics. In contrast, transactions of more than €100 million were not recorded in the first half of 2015. Some mid-size deals to be highlighted are Indus-trias Alimentarias de Navarra (Carretilla), Cegasa, Cualin Quality, El Granero Integral, FoodBox, Fundiciones del Estanda, Litalsa or Vitalia Home. More than half of the amount invested went to those deals conducted by interna-tional funds, as Palacios, Saloro, Telvent Global Services or Bodybell.

7 international PE firms invested for the first time in Spain last year: Alchemy Capital Management, ArcLight Capital Partners, Aurelius, Avenue Capital, Eurazeo, Op Capita and Platinum Equity; and one domestic investor, Black Toro Capital.

This divestment activity is allowing the closure of the investment cycle of many PE funds, which facilitates new fundraising activity (see column). If we estimate conservatively that the investors involved in final divestments in trade sales (industrial or financial) in 2014 had in-creased by 1.5 times their investment, their Li-mited Partners would recover around €3.5 bi-llion that could return to the system via commit-ments to new funds. This has been an incentive to raise new funds, which was a real headache of the VC/PE industry in recent years. As a re-sult, new funds raised in Spain (including the allocation of international funds for their invest-ments in Spain, totaled €480 billion in 2014 (+109%).

Summary of Fundraising activity Private-sector domestic PE management firms are closing their new funds more easily due to the improvement of the Spanish economy and the growing interest of foreign in-vestors in our country. Part of the "success" is also due to the fund of funds FOND-ICO Global, which is acting as a catalyst and guarantor for them, and also to some interna-tional firm, with more capacity to convince other Limited Partners to invest in their funds. Among private-sector domestic players, the new funds launched by Portobello (€375 million), Corpfin (€255 million), ProA Capital (first closing of €250 million), Miu-ra (€200 million), Sherpa, (€100 million), Espiga (€105 million) or PHI Industrial should be highlighted. Some of them received money from FOND-ICO Global in 20145, along with the funds sponsored by Diana and Oquendo, which were launched in 2013. Regarding public-sector-related investors, Cofides was the only investor that recorded a substantial increase in new funds in 2014. In 2015, more than a dozen of domestic players continue raising funds to start a new investment cycle. A sample of them is Abac, Baring Private Equity Partners, Blacktoro, Clave Mayor, CRB Inverbío, MCH, Magnum, N+1, Nauta, Cheetah, Qualitas, Talde or Suanfarma.

5 The funds committed by FOND-ICO to other PE investors, such as Bridgepoint, MCH or Black Toro Capital, in its third call will be accounted for in 2015 because the respective funds did not complete a first closing before December 31, 2104. The same situation applies to the investors selected at the fourth call (GED or Magnum).

Special: 2006-2014 Divestment

ratings The objective pursued by an investor in any as-set class is to obtain a profit that compensates for the risk faced. VC/PE activity is not an excep-tion. Maybe some perspective is lost because it is a type of investment with a medium to long term perspective (about 6 years on average) and far from transparent. It is not easy to conduct a good exit, and when it takes place, the investor and the company sometimes do not disclose the returns for confidentiality reasons. That is why the "successful exit" propagation is cut and a chance of spreading the benefits of this financial activity is missed sometimes.

Can the quality of the Private Equity di-vestments be measured? There are almost no data about investment re-turns In Spain, with the exception of Dinamia (listed company) and isolated comments made by some investor in conferences, interviews and private conversations. Therefore, we introduce a method to estimate a proxy of the overall

performance found in 869 PE final divest-

ments in Spain from 2006 to 2014, covering a period in which this financial activity experien-ced peaks and valleys. The methodology consists in assigning a 0, 5 or 10 points score to each di-vestment depending on the mechanism used. Di-vestments written-off by the investor or the li-quidation of the company scores 0 points; 5 points for owner’s buyback, either "forced" that almost hardly allows to retrieve some of the in-vestment, or agreed at the time of the initial in-vestment. In the remaining situations, it can be considered that the operation has been "successful", rating with 10 points trade sales to industrial, to other PE firm or to another finan-cial investor, and the divestment by IPO (IPO and post-IPO). There have been some cases of agreed repurcha-ses more profitable than sales to industrial or

SBO, and sales to industrial more prolific than IPOs. However, in the absence of more accurate data, the method is based on the sample size and reliability of data provided by investors.

According to the divestments analyzed in the period, 268 Owner’s buybacks (31%), 243 Write-offs (28%), 196 Trade sales (22.6%), 72 Sales to other financial investors (8.3%), 68 Secondary Buyouts (7.8%) and 22 stock market offerings (2.5%), of which 14 were IPOs and 8 Post IPO sale of shares. Some interesting conclusions can be extracted from this clasiffication. First, more than one out of four investments were entirely lost. Second, it is very hard for a Spanish company to go public. A high weight of no man's land deals, repurcha-ses, and an encouraging 38.7% of profitable di-vestments (industrial, financial and other PE firms) is observed. If the proposed scale is applied, a total of 4,920 points and an average of 5.7 points per di-

vestment is obtained, slightly above the score set for the repurchase category.

However, the outlook improves significantly when analyzing the 2014 data, with 7.3

points (43 Trade sales), which makes it the

best year of the last decade, along with the one in 2006, with fewer sales to third parties (38).

Regarding the type of investor involved (Table XXX), the international funds achieved the

highest overall score for the entire period, with 7.6 points on 108 divestments. The highest score of 8.6 points was obtained in 2014 (22 di-vestments). The private-sector-related domestic PE firms obtained 6.3 points on average, featu-ring 539 definitive divestments. Their score also peaked to 7.4 points in the 52 divestments ca-rried out in 2014. Finally, the public-sector-related PE firms reached an average below 5 points in the period analyzed (222 divestments). This score is caused by the buyback contracts signed with the managers of most investee firms.
