FOREWORD

YTD Q3 2017 VC & PE Québec Market Overview: PE Experiences Outstanding Quarter; VC Investment Levels Continue to Rise

Private equity in Québec experienced a remarkable Q3 in 2017 with $3.9B invested over 84 deals; an increase of 186% quarter-over-quarter and a phenomenal 530% increase from Q3 2016. There was $368M invested in 51 VC deals in Q3, bringing the YTD total to $900M. Five mega-deals (deals valued at $50M+) propelled this surge, accounting for 54% ($484M) of total dollars invested in the province.

“Q3 has been a fantastic quarter for private capital in Québec; particularly for private equity,” said Jack Chadirdjian, President and CEO, Réseau Capital. “The exceptional investment levels are a testament of the healthy ecosystem in the province.”

Although the average deal size in Québec venture capital dropped 20% from the previous quarter to $7.2M, it was still 35% higher than Q3

2016. The largest deal in 2017 so far, was the $141M series A round in Montréal-based Element AI Incorporated.

In Q3 2017, the average deal size in Québec private equity was $46.5M, a staggering 227% increase from the $14.3M invested in Q2. Québec secured 54% of all Canadian PE deals (242 out of 447) since the beginning of the year which represents three times more than Ontario’s 17% share.

There have been two PE mega-deals (deals valued at $1B+) in Québec so far in 2017 with total invested dollars hitting $3.3B or 40% of total PE dollars invested. This included the private placement in Osisko Gold Royalities Limited by Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) and Fonds de solidarité FTQ.

Private equity experiences dramatic 186% increase in invested dollars in Québec; venture capital driven by five mega-deals
