Global M&A volume and value decline in Q1
Both the volume and aggregate value of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deals announced worldwide declined in Q1 when compared to Q4 2018. In all, there were 21,462 deals worth a combined USD 1,129,000 million announced in the three months under review, while in Q4 2018 there were 25,852 worth USD 1,142,412 million.
The decline was even steeper in a year-on-year comparison as both volume and value declined from 26,755 and USD 1,513,566 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2018.
In terms of value, Q1 is one of the quieter quarters of recent years, but it did at least surpass Q3 2017, as well as both Q1 and Q2 of 2016, among others. A number of sizeable deals kept value afloat over the three months; in all, eight deals broke the USD 10,000 million-barrier.

Global PE and VC volume and value down in Q1
The volume and value of global private equity and venture capital deals declined in Q1 in both a quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year comparison. In all, there were 6,014 deals worth a combined USD 190,371 million announced over the course of the three months, compared to the USD 195,809 million across 6,187 deals in Q4 2018.
The decline was even steeper in a year-on-year comparison; in Q1 2018, there were 6,779 deals worth USD 212,987 million.
The disappointing showing comes despite a number of high value deals being announced during the quarter under review. The largest of all was a USD 11,000 million acquisition of Ultimate Software Group by a consortium led by Hellman & Friedman and also including the Blackstone Group, JMI Management and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.
Second place was taken by a USD 6,413 million takeover of German online marketplace operator Scout24 by Hellman & Friedman and Blackstone, through the Pulver BidCo acquisition vehicle.
North American targets dominate top 10
Of the ten most valuable deals announced during Q1 2019, all but one featured a target based in North America, while only two were not worth in excess of USD 10,000 million. The largest of all involved Bristol-Myers Squibb agreeing to pick up biopharmaceuticals maker Celgene for USD 74,000 million. This deal alone accounted for more than 6 per cent of total global value in the quarter under review (USD 1,129,000 million) and almost 17 per cent of North American value for the period (USD 444,044 million).
The second-placed deal was the only one in the top ten which did not target a North American company as Saudi Arabian Oil Company agreed to acquire a 70 per cent holding in Riyadh-headquartered fertilisers maker Saudi Basic Industries Corporation for USD 69,100 million.
Third place saw Fidelity National Information Services agreeing to pay USD 43,000 million for US payment processing company and technology provider Worldpay, while BB&T reached an agreement to take over Atlanta-based lender SunTrust Banks for USD 28,085 million in the fourth-placed deal.
The rest of the top ten was made up of US targets, with the exception of the ninth-placed deal – a USD 9,426 million acquisition of Canadian gold miner Goldcorp by Newmont Mining.
US leads way in country rankings
Given the prevalence of US targets in the quarter’s top deals, it is unsurprising to see the country lead the way by both volume and value for the three months. In all, companies based in the US were targeted in 4,916 deals worth a combined USD 421,237 million. This places it ahead of its nearest rival on both fronts – China, which was targeted in 2,695 deals with an aggregate value of USD 126,605 million, including three of the quarter’s top 25.
The UK was third on both fronts, with 1,557 deals at USD 70,857 million. In terms of volume, it was followed by Germany, Japan and France, with 1,154, 1,018 and 949 deals, respectively.
Saudi Arabia was fourth by value, with USD 69,871 million, although it is worth noting that this is almost entirely due to the aforementioned USD 69,100 million takeover of Saudi Basic Industries by Saudi Arabian Oil Company.

Global M&A Review Q1 2019Western Europe
Page 22 © Bureau van Dijk
PE-backed deal top by value in Q1
The largest M&A deal by value in Western Europe in the opening three months of 2019 was also the largest PE and VC deal in the region; Hellman & Friedman teamed up with Blackstone to acquire German online marketplace Scout24 for USD 6,413 million, via acquisition vehicle Pulver Bidco. This deal was the 16th-largest globally as value in North America significantly dwarfed investment in Western Europe.
The buyout was closely followed by Switzerland-based Sunrise Communications agreeing to pick up cable television network UPC Schweiz for USD 6,300 million, while UK-based mobile telecommunications giant Vodafone Group raised USD 4,535 million through a placement of convertible bonds in the region’s third-largest M&A deal.
This deal was one of six to exceed USD 4,000 million in the three months under review and was followed by UK plastic packaging company RPC Group, which is reviewing separate offers from both Apollo Global Management and Berry Group Global of the US and is expected to make a decision next month. All of the top 20 deals by value exceeded USD 1,000 million in Q1 2019.
PE, VC value bucks trend and increases quarter-on-quarter
The value of PE and VC investment in Western Europe increased slightly to USD 55,684 million in Q1 2019, from USD 55,244 million in Q4 2018; however, it was down 10 per cent on a 12-month comparison (USD 61,803 million). In terms of volume, Q1 declined both quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year to 825 deals, from 900 deals and 973 deals, respectively, in Q4 2018 and Q1 2018.
The largest PE and VC deal in Western Europe was also the region’s largest M&A deal and involved Hellman & Friedman and Blackstone agreeing to acquire Scout24 for USD 6,413 million. This deal was the 16th-largest M&A deal globally by value and was the second-largest PE and VC deal announced worldwide in Q1 2019.
In total, 11 of the top 20 PE and VC deals by value exceeded USD 1,000 million, with the second-largest worth USD 4,306 million and involving Apollo Global Management offering to acquire UK-based plastic packaging firm RPC Group; which is also considering an alternative bid from Berry Group Global.
The UK and Germany led the PE and VC country rankings by value in Q1 2019, having featured in deals worth USD 14,466 million and USD 13,987 million, respectively. France was third by value with USD 6,677 million, followed by the Netherlands (USD 6,108 million) and Spain (USD 4,561 million). By volume, the UK was top with 259 deals, followed by France with 174 million.
UK tops country rankings by volume and value in Q1
Companies based in the UK were targeted in eight of the top 20 deals by value in Western Europe in Q1 2019, resulting in the country topping the country rankings by both volume and value, with a total of 1,557 deals worth an aggregate USD 70,857 million. Globally, the UK was third by value, behind the US (USD 421,237 million) and China (USD 126,605 million).
Six deals targeting the UK all featured in Western Europe’s top ten and, together, represented 34 per cent of total value for the country, which was up 34 per cent from USD 53,007 million in Q4 2018, despite declining slightly from USD 75,117 million in Q1 2018.
Germany was second in terms of both volume and value, with 1,154 deals worth USD 41,299 million. The Netherlands placed third by value with USD 23,129 million, followed by France (USD 21,092 million) and Switzerland (USD 16,933 million).

Global M&A Review Q1 2019North America
Page 31 © Bureau van Dijk
North American M&A volume and value improve in Q1
The volume and value of M&A deals targeting North American companies increased in the opening three months of 2019: volume climbed 5 per cent from Q4’s 5,207 deals to 5,479, while value was up 33 per cent from USD 333,060 million to USD 444,044 million over the same timeframe. By contrast, the result represents a decline on the comparable quarter of 2018; in Q1 2018, there were 6,240 deals worth a combined USD 510,244 million.
The positive result, at least when compared to Q4, is unsurprising for the region given that it was targeted so frequently in the period’s top deals on a global scale. In all, North American companies were targeted in nine of the quarter’s top ten and 13 of the top 25, including the largest deal of all to have been announced during the three months under review.
As always, most of the region’s dealmaking is attributable to US targets in Q1; in all, US companies were targeted in 4,916 deals worth USD 421,237 million, compared to Canada’s 559 worth USD 23,005 million.

Celgene targeted in North America’s largest deal of Q1
The most valuable deal with a North American target to have been announced during the first quarter of 2019 was also the largest deal globally over the three months as Bristol-Myers Squibb agreed to pick up Celgene for USD 74,000 million. This was worth almost USD 30,000 million more than the second-biggest North American deal of the quarter – a USD 43,000 million takeover of Worldpay by Fidelity National Information Services.
In all, seven deals targeting North American companies were worth more than USD 10,000 million during the three months under review and all of these featured US targets. The largest Canadian deal of Q1 was eighth overall as Newmont Mining is acquiring Vancouver-headquartered gold miner Goldcorp for USD 9,426 million. This was also the only Canadian deal to appear in the top 25 by value. All of the top 25 were worth in excess of USD 2,500 million.
PE and VC value up both quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year
The volume and value of North American PE and VC activity increased quarter-on-quarter in Q1 2019 as 3,903 deals worth a combined USD 92,185 million were announced over the three months, compared to the USD 79,007 million across 3,783 deals in Q4 2018.
Value was also up year-on-year, from USD 90,875 million in Q1 2018. By contrast, volume actually dropped over the same timeframe (Q1 2018: 4,123 deals). Nevertheless, Q1 2019’s results represent the second consecutive increase in the volume and value of North American PE and VC deals.
The most valuable deal of the quarter was worth USD 11,000 million and took the form of an acquisition of Ultimate Software Group by a consortium led by Hellman & Friedman and also including Blackstone, GIC, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and JMI Equity. This was also the largest PE and VC deal to have been announced worldwide during the three months.
Second place was taken by Thoma Bravo’s planned acquisition of Ellie Mae for USD 3,700 million.
Chemicals, rubber and plastics sector attracts most value in Q1
In terms of the sectors being targeted in North America in the opening three months of 2019, the chemicals, rubber and plastics industry led the way by value, having featured in deals worth a combined USD 92,866 million. This was boosted significantly by the aforementioned USD 74,000 million Celgene acquisition, which accounted for the bulk of this amount and pushed the sector ahead of banking (USD 34,881 million). This amount was also affected by a single deal, namely, a USD 28,085 million takeover of SunTrust Banks by BB&T, which was the region’s third-largest deal by value in Q1.
Machinery, equipment, furniture and recycling placed third, with USD 24,646 million, but actually topped the sector rankings by volume, having been targeted in 270 deals. Second place was taken by publishing and printing (224), while metals and metal products came third (211).
In keeping with the overall pattern detected across North American M&A in Q1 2019, many sectors improved on Q4 in terms of volume, with machinery, equipment, furniture and recycling, as well as publishing and printing, among those sectors targeted more quarter-on-quarter.

Global M&A Review Q1 2019Asia-Pacific
Page 41 © Bureau van Dijk
Asia Pacific M&A activity falls to lowest recorded in almost five years
M&A targeting companies based in Asia Pacific failed to get out of the starting blocks in Q1 2019 as volume and value fell back to the lowest recorded in five years: 7,282 deals worth a combined USD 269,927 million were announced, compared to Q4 2018, when 10,014 deals totalling USD 394,829 million were announced over the three months to make the quarter the busiest of 2018.
All in all, Asia Pacific M&A volume and value in Q1 were the lowest recorded since Q2 2014 (7,223) and Q1 2014 (USD 205,595 million), respectively. However, Asia Pacific dealmaking accounted for more than a third of total global volume in Q1 (21,462 deals)and for almost a fifth of total value (USD 1,129,000 million). M&A activity targeting companies based in the region in Q1 was higher than that of Western Europe (6,357 deals worth an aggregate USD 225,566 million) and, in terms of volume, surpassed the 5,479 deals recorded for North American targets in Q1.
While there was no lack of deals worth more than USD 1,000 million announced during Q1, growth was held back regardless as no single deal exceeded USD 10,000 million and volume failed to act as a growth driver for value due to the significant quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year slump.

Global M&A Review Q1 2019Asia-Pacific

Three deals break USD 5,000 million-barrier
The 32 per cent slump in the value of M&A deals targeting companies based in Asia-Pacific in Q1 2019, when compared to Q4 2018, would have been worse if not for three deals each with a value of more than USD 5,000 million being announced over the quarter, all of which targeted Chinese companies.
Bank of Beijing accounts for the largest deal announced in Q1 as the lender is shoring up capital via a preference share issue worth USD 5,971 million, while pursuing a banking joint venture with ING Bank of the Netherlands. The proposed fundraiser is one of the top 25 capital increases by value targeting a Chinese lender on record.
The second-biggest Asia Pacific deal of Q1 features Shuanghui Investment and Development agreeing to absorb Henan Luohe Shuanghui Industrial in an all-scrip acquisition valued at USD 5,952 million. Upon completion, Henan Luohe Shuanghui Industrial will be dissolved. The restructuring will see Rotary Vortex exchanging its 73 per cent indirectly- and directly-owned stake in Henan Shuanghui Investment and Development to a direct 73 per cent equity interest.
The only other deal valued at more than USD 5,000 million involves Beijing EasyHome New Retail Chain carrying out a backdoor listing: listed Wuhan Zhongnan Commercial will acquire the one-stop home improvement shop for as much as USD 5,639 million.
In spite of China dominating the top 20, there were notable deals targeting companies based in India, Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Kazakhstan and South Korea and they were all valued at more than USD 1,000 million. The top 20 featured mostly intra-regional dealmaking, with Brookfield Capital Partners, via Cayman Islands-incorporated BCP VIG Holdings, featuring as the only overseas acquiror.
Chinese dealmaking contributes to Asia Pacific’s overall decline
A quarter-on-quarter improvement in the volume of deals targeting companies based in Q1’s top countries by value, including India, Thailand, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Cambodia, failed to stem the region’s overall decline in volume due to drops in China, Japan and Australia, among others.
In spite of growth being stripped away over the three months, China topped the country rankings, with 2,693 deals totalling USD 126,515 million, which represented 37 per cent and 47 per cent of the region’s total volume and value, respectively, in Q1.
With regards to a quarter-on-quarter increase in the value of deals targeting the top countries, the Maldives improved the most by percentage (Q4 2018: no value recorded; Q1 2019: USD 76 million).
PE and VC investment targets China, though Australia accounts for two of the quarter’s top three deals
PE and VC investment in Asia Pacific slumped in Q1 as the 1,068 deals totalling USD 35,510 million announced over the three months was the lowest recorded since Q1 2015 by volume (990) and Q4 2016 by value (USD 25,503 million).
Considering only seven PE and VC deals announced in Q1 were worth USD 1,000 million or more, it can be said this lack of deals with high valuations contributed to the overall decline. The largest of the quarter was worth less than USD 5,000 million and involved Brookfield Capital Partners trumping an earlier proposal for Healthscope by tabling a USD 3,182 million offer for the Australian private hospital operator. An Australian target also featured in the third-biggest deal of the quarter as a sweetened USD 1,645 million takeover offer for Navitas by a founder-private equity consortium comprising BGH Capital, AustralianSuper and Rodney Jones curried favour with the board of the Australian education company.
In spite of accounting for two of the quarter’s top three PE and VC deals, Australia placed second on the country rankings by value with USD 7,072 million, compared to China’s USD 14,577 million, which accounted for 41 per cent of the region’s total PE and VC value for the quarter.

Global M&A Review Q1 2019CEE/Russia

CEE M&A volume and value up in Q1
An uptick was recorded in both the volume and value of M&A dealmaking targeting companies based in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in Q1 2019 as 1,303 deals totalling USD 25,763 million were recorded, up from 1,272 deals worth USD 24,360 million in Q4 2018. That result made Q4 the lowest of 2018 in terms of both volume and value.
The increase in volume over the three months managed comes after four consecutive quarterly declines. Nevertheless, other than Q4 2018, Q1’s volume was the lowest recorded for more than a decade (Q2 2006: 1,240). On the other hand, prolific dealmaking was a partial growth driver of value as Q1 was only just shy of the USD 25,859 million-worth of deals recorded in Q1 2018.
In a global context, CEE volume and value accounted for 6 per cent and 2 per cent, respectively, of Q1’s 21,462 deals worth an aggregate USD 1,129,000 million, while one deal targeting the CEE featured in the global top 20.

Global M&A Review Q1 2019CEE/Russia

International acquirors feature prominently in CEE top 20
CEE M&A value was propped up by six deals each worth more than USD 1,000 million in Q1, one of which was also among the top 20 global M&A deals by value. Together, these six deals, which primarily featured Russian targets, accounted for more than half of the region’s quarterly value.
A USD 7,604 million capital increase by Atomnyi Energopromyshlennyi Kompleks was the largest deal of the quarter and represented 30 per cent of the region’s total value.
The only non-Russian deal of the six was also the region’s second-biggest announced M&A deal of Q1 and involved the acquisition of Poland-based DCT Gdansk for USD 1,700 million by a consortium comprising Poland’s Polski Fundusz Rozwoju, Australian institutional investment manager IFM Investors and PSA International of Singapore.
The top 20 featured several international acquirors: Naspers of South Africa, via Netherlands-incorporated OLX, increased its 71 per cent stake in KEKh eKommerts to 99 per cent for USD 1,160 million; Accor of France bought an additional equity interest in Poland’s Orbis for USD 386 million; Schwenk Zement acquired Cemex SAB de CV’s assets in Latvia, among other international assets, for USD 381 million; FCapital Dutch announced plans to buy 11 per cent of AmRest Holdings from Gosha Holdings for USD 349 million; and Switzerland’s Coca-Cola HBC intends to fully acquire Koncern Bambi for USD 294 million.
One deal supports PE, VC value in Q1 2019
The value of PE and VC investment in companies based in CEE increased significantly against a 43 per cent decline by volume in Q1 2019, suggesting investors favoured single deals with higher valuations over prolific dealmaking. There were 45 PE and VC deals worth an aggregate USD 1,887 million announced in the opening three months of 2019, compared to 79 deals worth USD 125 million in Q4 2018.
On a 12 month comparison, volume declined 63 per cent, while value fell 56 per cent from 122 deals worth USD 4,300 million in Q1 2018. However, it is worth noting that this was the most valuable quarter of 2018. Both the volume and value of PE and VC investment in the CEE region accounted for less than 1 per cent of total global PE and VC activity as 6,014 PE and VC deals worth a combined USD 190,371 million were announced globally in Q1 2019.
One deal accounted for the lion’s share of PE and VC value for CEE in the three-month period and was also the second-largest M&A deal in the region: IFM Investors, Polski Fundusz Rozwoju and PSA International agreed to acquire Poland’s DCT Gdansk from Macquarie, among other investors, for USD 1,700 million. This deal accounts for 90 per cent of total PE and VC value in CEE over the three months.
The second-largest deal was significantly smaller as Pollen Street Capital acquired Poland-based Prime Car Management for USD 72 million. Companies based in Poland featured in five of the top 20 deals by value, Russia was targeted in 12, while Belarus, Hungary and Slovakia also featured.
Poland top by volume, Russia leads the way by value
Interestingly, having only featured in three of the top 20 deals by value, Poland was the most prolific CEE target in Q1 2019 as it was targeted in 501 deals over the three months, representing an increase of 49 per cent from 337 deals in Q4 2018, against a 34 per cent decline from 755 deals in Q1 2018. Russia, which featured in 15 of the top 20 deals by value, was a close second by volume with 447 deals, while Romania was third with 140.
In terms of value, it comes as no surprise that Russia was top with USD 20,250 million, having been targeted in the majority of the top 20 CEE deals by value. The country accounted for 79 per cent of total M&A dealmaking in the CEE region during Q1 2019.
Poland placed second by value with USD 3,226 million, followed by Latvia (USD 513 million), Romania (USD 445 million) and Serbia (USD 322 million).
