M&A fails to maintain growth
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) targeting companies based in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) during the first three months of 2014 failed to continue the momentum achieved in the previous quarter, which marked a two-year high.
Both volume and value weakened in Q1 2014 to 2,288 transactions worth an aggregate EUR 21,639 million from a high base of 3,236 worth a combined EUR 58,554 million, which in turn was an increase on the preceding quarter (Q3 2013: 2,689 transactions worth a total EUR 32,997 million).
There was little comfort in a year-on-year comparison as volume was 13 per cent higher than the 2,016 deals recorded in Q1 2013 but value was down 41 per cent from EUR 36,651 million.
In Russia the decline was even more marked: there were 536 transactions worth an aggregate EUR 13,075 million compared to 852 worth EUR 42,570 million in Q4 2013, which again was a two-year high point.
Year-over-year, volume was 14 per cent weaker while value was 45 per cent lower (Q1 2013: 620 deals worth EUR 23,909 million).

Three deals break EUR 1,000 million-barrier
Despite the downturn in value, there were still some reasonably sizeable deals during Q1 2014 with three transactions each surpassing EUR 1,000 million, and which accounted for 31 per cent of total value for the three months (EUR 21,639 million).
Highest of these was an acquisition worth EUR 4,366 million and involved Bank VTB 24 issuing shares to existing stockholders. The lender sold 74,394 million shares, of which parent Bank VTB subscribed for 11,152 million, or 15 per cent.
This was followed at number two by the transfer by MetalUkr Holding of a 78 per cent stake in iron ore mining business Pivnichnyy Hirnycho-Zbahachuvalnyy Kombinat to MetInvest in a deal valued at EUR 1,195 million.
At number three was another acquisition, this time involving the sale by Russian oil giant Rosneft, through RN Kholding, of its 49 per cent stake in the Yugragazpererabotka natural gas processing venture to Sibur Kholding, a Russian petrochemicals company owned by billionaires Leonid Mikhelson and Gennady Timchenko, for EUR 1,141 million.
The top twenty transactions by value involved targets based in quite a diverse range of sectors, from iron and diamond mining, banking and electricity production to cinema operation, digital telecommunications and machine tools manufacturing.
Russia tops the value table, Bulgaria number one by volume
Russia once again took top spot in the rankings of countries by value with M&A worth an aggregate EUR 13,075 million recorded, although, as previously mentioned, this was a significant decrease both month-on-month and year-on-year.
Ukraine followed at number two with EUR 3,616 million, a 52 per cent increase on EUR 2,373 million in Q4 2013 and the country’s best result in the last two years. It was also a particularly encouraging result given the country’s political climate.
Increases in the value of M&A targeting companies based in Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Latvia and Moldova over the four weeks came at the expense of countries like Poland, Czech Republic and Croatia, where value declined from the preceding quarter.
Meanwhile, companies based in Bulgaria were the most targeted by volume with 715 transactions, although this was the second dip in a row (Q4 2013: 892; Q3 2013: 901). Russia followed with 536 deals, down from 852 the previous quarter, and Poland was third with 274, half the 539 recorded in Q4 2014.

PE value plummets
There were 122 private equity investment transactions worth a combined EUR 309 million targeting countries based in CEE during Q1 2014, compared to 164 worth an aggregate EUR 7,391 million in Q4 2013.
While value fell from a high base the previous quarter, a 12-month comparison shows the result was disappointingly low (Q1 2013: EUR 2,330 million). However, volume in the three months under review was double the 65 deals signed off a year ago.
Once again, the decline was magnified in Russia, where value slumped quarter-on-quarter from EUR 3,344 million to just EUR 148 million against a weakening in volume from 95 transactions to 70.
