REBLOG PITCHBOOK

Clearly, 2020 was never going to be a normal year for M&A activity in the face of a global pandemic. Nevertheless, there have been some standout transactions. When it comes to deals worth $5 billion or more, activity has been decidedly lumpy this year, with a notable fallow period between March and September. Many of the major deals in the year’s cohort speak to broader economic and industry trends—not all of them COVID-related. This list, while not comprehensive, looks at some of the key European themes at play over the past 12 months.

Last-minute deliveries

Takeaway.com secured its £6 billion (around $7.9 billion) acquisition of its rival Just Eat in January, following prolonged bidding with rival suitor Prosus that had begun the previous July with Takeaway’s initial bid. The deal, which created the continent’s largest food delivery company, got the final nod from regulators in April. It was a bitter loss for Prosus, which made three separate cash offers before it had to concede defeat. The Dutch-listed tech company was also beaten to the punch by Norway’s Adevinta in July when it had tried to buy eBay‘s classifieds unit in what was eventually a $9 billion deal.

Payments giants

French payments company Worldline agreed to buy its rival Ingenico without too much fanfare in February. The €7.8 billion (around $9.5 billion) deal, which created the fourth-largest payment services provider in the world, was one of the last major European deals to be announced before the pandemic forced widespread lockdowns. The deal closed in October, and just a month later, Italian digital payments company Nexi, itself the product of several mergers, agreed to buys its Danish rival Nets in another €7.8 billion deal.

Organizational Ineria & Pipeline 2017-11-09

All Organizations need a discipline that makes them face up to reality. Leaders fail to update and revise their understanding of a situation when that situation changes, a phenomenon that acts as a psychological barrier to organizational change.

ACTION: Talk to an independent advisor or better have an independent board of directors vs. yes men! – JD Morris

Our Senior Executive Advisers through riseSEA can make you face reality and help you plan your future.  Contact Victoria at INFO@RedHookCapital.co for your strategy session.

EBITDA Pipeline – Surveying EBITDA Business Owners

Investor Network by JD (A raw blog with facts and no time to cross Ts!)

NETWORKING THIS WEEK

We are focusing on almost all EBITDA companies because we provide referrals to other investors.  Today we cove some of our focused areas in specialty manufacturing and industrial technology:

  • Test & measurement
  • Flow & process control
  • Instrumentation & sensors
  • Connectivity
  • Filtration (liquids)
  • Other high value-added niche manufacturing segments Consumer Products and Services

Again, the key is a company that needs growth capital or possible consolidation play based on few high margin products for the cornerstone of the consolidation company.  I call it the cake and frosting play (i.e. high margins = frosting).

Referrals are always welcome for growth capital, consolidation, or strategy session for few hours or few days!  Text JD Morris at +1 858-869-9483
