1、Private Equity&Transactions 2024OC&C deal activity at a glanceuncommon senseTM02|OC&C Private Equity&Transactions 20242024 at a glanceON THE BACK OF A SLUGGISH 2023 FOR M&A MARKETS,WHAT DID 2024 BRING?Dealmaking activity showed clear signs of recovery in 2024,particularly in Europe and the Americas.
2、While the macroeconomic turbulence that hindered investor confidence in 2023 is far from over,2024s environment supported a greater level of willingness to invest than the prior year.We saw wide variation across sectors in buy-side confidence in closing deals deal value in the media,technology and t
3、ravel sectors was up substantially vs 2023;but we observed more reticence in sectors which are more directly exposed to the impacts of inflationary pressures on consumer expenditure,or not still benefiting from a covid bound back.However an appetite to invest in high quality assets with strong funda
4、mentals remained strong across all sectors.On the sell-side,we saw a greater focus on better and earlier exit planning,with a need to create robust and well-proven plans and identify value creation opportunities well before exit.Asset owners are increasingly aware that investing the time to prove ou
5、t these growth opportunities will drive a return at exit both in supporting valuation and increasing the probability of successful completion.OC&C Private Equity&Transactions 2024|03The year ahead GIVEN WHERE THE YEAR HAS ENDED,WHAT WILL 2025 BRING?We are seeing some encouraging signs as we head int
6、o 2025.Global private equity dry powder is at an all-time high of$2.6tn;there remains significant pent-up spending power to return to the market when the conditions are right.We see cautious optimism in the dealmaking community,with 65%of European dealmakers anticipating an increase in M&A activity
7、in the next 12 months vs only 35%taking this view a year ago.Cost of capital and valuation misalignments are undoubtedly lingering concerns but as the macroeconomic environment stabilises and buyer-seller expectations converge,we expect these barriers to become increasingly surmountable.As we look a
8、head,there are several topics we expect to come up around the investment committee table:Value Creation:the market has become less accommodating of highly leveraged deals.While the cost of debt may decrease,gone are the days when financial engineering alone was sufficient to deliver satisfactory ret
9、urns.Buyers will need to have conviction in the growth or EBITDA improvement value creation case and this will require sellers to have a clear plan and proof points on growth opportunities.ESG:even as some governments are watering down their environmental commitments,we expect ESG considerations to
10、remain high on investor agendas.Our clients are increasingly asking us about the ESG credentials of their prospective investments,and how to evaluate these in their decision-making.Trumponomics:In the two months since the US election,financial markets have perhaps shifted from the sense that Donald
11、Trumps second term is somewhat more of a known quantity,to recognising the unpredictability.His economic policy could have wide-reaching implications for global trade,particularly if he pursues the aggressive imposition of tariffs threatened during his campaign;equally,a more relaxed approach to ant
12、itrust may facilitate US deals previously hindered by regulatory barriers.Investors in both the US and elsewhere need to carefully consider how it will impact their investments.Generative AI:with the power to transform almost all aspects of an investment from customer acquisition,to products and pro
13、positions,to any and all business operations(and possibly even the dealmaking and origination process itself),the implications of Generative AI should be front-and-centre in almost any investment decision and an important component of diligence.While we look to 2025 with cautious optimism,it is clea
14、r that the rules of the game are changing and in this environment,the need for depth and robustness of commercial insights underpinning investment decisions is higher than ever.We are dedicated to being a trusted partner at the heart of these decisions,working alongside our clients to navigate compl
15、exity,seize opportunities,and drive sustained success through 2025 and beyond.04|OC&C Private Equity&Transactions 2024B2B/Services2024 AT-A-GLANCEDespite some overall slowness in the deal market,there was a flurry of deal activity across the business services landscape.Underpinned by macro trends ar

17、sh about the macro-economic outlook across geographies.The UK saw several deals in infrastructure services,most notably CVCs acquisition of leading UK infra player M Group Services,but with clear appetite among others to buy more specialist and vertical specific assets (Adler&Allan,Lanes Group,VDS)w
18、hile in continental Europe we continued to see significant activity in cold-chain logistics.Investors demonstrated real enthusiasm for Energy Transition themes,particularly in the U.S.with a sustained appetite for Engineering Services.2024 saw an increased focus on assets exposed to Grid Upgrade,exe
19、mplified by Maxima Power,and industrial and commercial decarbonisation,as seen with Salas OBrien and Stratus.In other sub-sectors the focus is switching towards assets which benefit from these tailwinds,such as SLRs acquisition of Malk,a firm focussing on ESG reporting.There has been increasing inte
20、rest in professional services firms,where there is material opportunity for private capital to drive value.Towards the close of the year,accounting buy-and-build platforms emerged as a key area of activity globally,with notable examples including Stannards and Evelyn Partners.THE YEAR AHEAD Looking
21、forward we anticipate continued enthusiasm for a lot of the macro themes that resonated in 2024,and we expect a significant volume of transactions coming into the new year.Sustainability Themes:Sustainability tailwinds will continue to resonate with investors,as they increasingly explore a wide rang
22、e of business models to tap into this growing market.From circular economy investments(both asset heavy and broker models)to sustainability advisory and energy transition focused front-line and technical services.Regardless of ticket size or industry focus,funds will have no shortage of investment o
23、ptions in this space.AI and Technology-Enabled Models:The continued evolution of AI solutions,coupled with on-going concerns around the cost of staff,will likely create significant interest in tech-enabled BPO and professional services models.B2C law,in particular,is expected to be particularly prom
24、inent in the next 12-18 months.However investors will need to carefully assess the specifics of each industry before jumping in on the Gen AI bandwagon.Professional Services Momentum:2025 is shaping up to be an even hotter year for Professional Services.The buy and build thesis in accounting will re
25、main a dominant theme,both in existing geographies(expect busy years ahead in the U.K.and U.S.),and in new ones(the European markets outside Nordics and Benelux remain less mature).We are also likely to see efforts to replicate the success of the accounting model in other Professional Services verti
26、cals.The Next Wave:Carve-Outs and Partnerships:As well as buy and build,expect continued waves of carve-outs from the Big 4 and other multi-disciplinary firms,plus more instances of Partnerships looking for external capital.The success of Grant Thornton UK and other recent processes will only encour
27、age this process.Resilience Themes:Resilience is still going to be the name of the game,with a number of fire and security services assets expected to trade in 2025 and continued interest in infrastructure services specialists and generalists.OC&C Private Equity&Transactions 2024|05B2B/SERVICESAusec

39、ncements of separations at Unilever(Ice Cream),Nestle(Water)and Reckitt Benckiser(Essential Household).Sponsors will likely have a keen eye on these and other brands that are no longer in the strategic core of the major corporates,but can still offer scale platforms outside of their larger current h

48、themes in the coming year are likely to include:Scalable Foodservice Propositions Momentum in foodservice is likely to persist in 2025,with assets coming to market across price-points,models and geographies.Scalability is likely to be a key focus area for investors,with investors particularly lookin

58、agingly,activity was up in almost all media sub-sectors,including online marketplaces,advertising&ad tech,education,music and sport.All areas of strong OC&C experience.Echoing this revival,the successful deals we advised on in 2024 demonstrate the increased activity across the media landscape.We con
59、tinued to be active in online marketplaces particularly in North America,alongside work in areas ranging from music to B2B events and exhibitions.THE YEAR AHEAD Looking into 2025,we expect an abundance of exits across the media landscape.There are four areas in which we expect investors to be partic
60、ularly active:Advertising and Marketing Services:as the global ad market recovers from the stagnation induced by macroeconomic pressures,so too will deal flow.The headlines will inevitably be dominated by Bain Capitals expected disposal of Kantar,but we expect a number of smaller services and techno
61、logy businesses to come to market.Gaming:as one of the highest growth media categories,we expect investors to see a lot of potential in the space.On the back of CVCs billion dollar acquisition of Jagex,owners of smaller publishers will be expecting to capitalise on investor interest.Sports Media&Tec
62、hnology:while investment in rightsholders has long been an area of interest for PE given resilient consumer demand,long-term revenue visibility and attractive returns,we are increasingly seeing sports technology and services businesses reach a sufficient level of maturity to appeal to PE,having hist
63、orically remained largely the preserve of venture investors.Events:our work in support of Easyfairs securing investment from Cobepa and Inflexion was the first of a series of scale assets in events expected to come to market over the next year.We anticipate a busy market for events M&A in the first
64、half of 2025.Marketplaces&Aggregators:for many years we have seen a steady flow of dealmaking activity across geographies and verticals.Highlights from 2024 include Idealista,Trader Canada,Distilled Media and Netrisk.We expect to see more of the same going into 2025 particularly in the insurance and
65、 financial services verticals.Across all of these areas and beyond there is a common thread around the potential of Generative AI to revolutionise both customer propositions and business operations.Investors who are able to understand and capitalise upon this opportunity will be the ones to create t

68、ons,key areas we have been active in are reflected in the 15 deals listed.Firstly,our Enterprise Software team continued to support significant deal-flow(more than 50 engagements)across FMS/Office of the CFO,ERP,HCM/Payroll,health tech,public sector,hospitality,and AEC,to name but a few spanning EME
69、A,AMER and APAC.Secondly,with the growing demand for public and private cloud-based investments to underpin broader digital transformations,OC&Cs Tech team was busy actively assessing the data platform,analytics,and compute platform capabilities of various service providers and integrators across th
70、e Microsoft,AWS,and Google ecosystems(such as Transparity).Thirdly,plenty of corporates portfolios continue to be rejigged to exploit relative valuations and to simplify operating models,which generated significant deal flow across Europe and the Americas.THE YEAR AHEAD OC&Cs Tech team can see,and a
71、re working on,a bumper crop of transactions into 2025,with mostly more of the same active areas:Cloud-based Data Platforms,Analytics&GenAI Software&Service Providers:with more compute platforms in place,organisations are rapidly seeking to modernise data platforms/lakes to take best advantage from G

73、tware-based IoT,we envisage a range of horizontal IoT platforms to continue to scale and consolidate as they embark on addressing global markets,with several vertical-specific platforms due to come to market in the UK,Nordics,and the Americas.Managed ICT Service Providers:after several rounds of con
74、solidation,several larger players are emerging in many European and US markets in particular:5-10 MSPs with EBITDA 15-100m are likely to come to market in the next 12 months,likely attracting significant funds seeking to create European or US champions of super-scale.Enterprise Software:We have a st
75、rong pipeline of activity,including acquisitive vertical aggregators,such as those in legal tech,and the continuation of recent HIS/EHR activity as we enter a potentially more dynamic phase.There is further activity in European social care,HCM adoption tailwinds in less mature geographies,and regula
76、tory-driven e-invoicing adoption across multiple European geographies.AI innovation in the office of the CFO and opportunities across the AEC ecosystem also hold significant focus.Meanwhile,investors are closely watching for potential processes involving large ERP assets and additional multi-vertica
77、l or horizontal aggregators.Vertical Software:within enterprise software,we see investors continuing to seek the defensibility of vertical-specificity,combined with the significant headroom in(often fragmented)under-digitised industries and/or opportunities to consolidate.Maturity levels differ vast
