    Private Equity Deal Flow

    1-877-2

    [email protected] [ 3 ]

    The U.S. private equity industry, by many measures, turned

    in one of its best years in 2010, despite the overall pooreconomic condions and turbulent financial markets. There

    was a steady increase in PE investment during the year culmi-

    nang with $50 billion invested during 4Q, 6.25x more than

    the low of $8 billion invested during 2Q 2009. In total, $132

    billion was invested by PE firms in U.S. companies during

    2010the fih highest one-year total on record. Deal flow

    was up 11% from 2009 with a total of 1,498 PE deals during

    2010. One of the more notable trends that developed during

    the year was an increase in appete for larger deals, which

    was driven by the increased availability of leverage. The 82

    U.S. PE deals over $500 million in 2010 was the third highestnumber on record.

    Fundraising remains very difficult for U.S. private equity firms. Only 95 funds reached a final close during 2010 on a total of

    $84 billion in commitmentsthe lowest amount since 2003. The capital overhang of approximately $485 billion connues to

    make fundraising difficult, as does the PE-backed company overhang. PE firms currently own almost 6,000 companies, a third

    of which have been held for 5 years or longer and need to be exited in order to generate returns for the firms limited partners.

    Fortunately, exits are on the rise thanks to recovering financial markets, strengthening company fundamentals and rising valua-

    ons.

    The past year presented private equity firms with a number of challenges, but sll the industry managed to bounce back

    surprisingly fast from last years lows. Having now turned the corner, look for the posive trends that developed in 2010 around

    deals and exits to connue in 2011. While a number of challenges do remain such as fundraising and availability of financing,

    the outlook for 2011 appears to be bright.

    PE Transactions (Count) by Deal Size

    PE Transactions ($ Amount) by Deal Size

    One major development in 2010 was the return of significant

    amounts of leverage, and with it, an increase in large PE deals.In 2009, deals larger than $500 million represented 55% of thetotal capital invested. In 2010, that number jumped to almost70%. The $41 billion invested during 2010 in deals between$500 million and $1 billion represented the second highesttotal on record for the deal range. In another sign of the return-ing availability of leverage for private equity transacons therewere 24 deals above $1 billion2.5x more than in 2009.

    The lower end of the market and the middle market connueto make up the majority of private equity deal flow. Dealsunder $250 million made up over 70% of the deal flow in 2010,but it was actually the lowest poron of deal flow seen by the

    lower-middle market since before 2005. Evidence of privateequitys returning appete for bigger deals shows up againwith the stat that deals over $500 million made up 16% of2010s deal flow, beang out 2007s 15% for the record in termsof poron of deal flow.

    The percentage of equity used in private equity buyouts held relavely steady in 2010, scking close to 2008 and 2009

    levels. As would be expected, the smaller and middle-market deals, which have less access to leverage, use almost 10%

    more equity than larger deals. The amount of equity used in large transacons seems to have seled around an average

    of 42% during the past four years. Conversely, the amount of equity used for deals under $1 billion has steadily risen over

    the last five years from a 10-year low in 2006 of 41%. Equity percentages in buyout deals both big and small will be one

    of the many interesng data points to monitor in order to gauge the direcon and health of the PE industry in the year

    to come.

    Private Equity Add-on Activity

    Add-ons as a percentage of private equity buyouts climbed for the sixth straight year in 2010 to account for 41% of

    all U.S. buyouts. The 442 completed add-on deals in 2010 constute the fih-highest total on record and had a total

    value in excess of $9.5 billion. The median value of add-on deals also increased from $25 million in 2009 to $51.5 million

    in 2010. The trend shows that private equity firms are connuing to find consolidaon investment opportunies and

    have made the best of the economic recession by acquisively growing their porolio companies through add-ons of

    struggling competors and complimentary new businesses. The top industry sectors for add-ons in 2010 were Commer-

    cial Services with 96, Commercial Products with 44 and Healthcare Services with 40.

    Current Private Equity Portfolio Overhang

    Private equity firms owned an all-me high 5,994 U.S. companies at the end of 2010, according to the PitchBook Plaorm.

    The number of private equity-owned companies has been steadily building over the last five years with an annual average

    growth rate of 19%. The growth has slowed over the last few years due to a decrease in deal flow but sll managed to increase

    by almost 5% in 2010. The number of PE-owned companies really began its ascent as the investment boom kicked into high gear,

    tripling from 1,620 in 2003 to 4,808 by the end of 2007. These totals represent companies majority-owned by PE firms and

    exclude add-on companies.

    This porolio company overhang is the result of buyouts consistently outpacing exits over the last decade as new money

    connued to flow in and profits were reinvested. The hold me of investments by PE firms has also been steadily rising over the

    last few years. In 2010, the median hold me for all companies exited was over 5 years, up considerably from the 3 year hold

    me seen in 2007. The mismatch of new investments to

    exits, as well as increasing company hold mes, means

    that this overhang of porolio companies is likely to

    persist for a number of years, which could potenally

    pose a structural challenge to the recovering PE industry.

    The fact that over 66% of these 5,994 companies are

    investments older than 3 years and 30% are older than 5

    years is a potenally troubling sign. This overhang is

    going to command a lot aenon from both PE firms and

    their limited partners as they look for liquidity. Given an

    average of about 450 exits per year, there is currently a

    4-year backlog consisng of just those PE investments

    older than 5 years. Clearly PE firms are going to have to

    increase their exits significantly over the next few years

    but luckily a number of posive trends are currently

    developing around exits.

    Private Equity Exit Activity

    Median Exit ($)Percent of Exits (Count) by Deal Type

    Source: PitchBook

    The paence of private equity firms paid off as median PEsale amounts were at record levels in 2010. Companies sold tostrategic acquirers (corporate acquisions) sold for a median of$211 million, 2.6x 2009s median sale. The most dramacstasc, though, is the $382 million median sale amount forPE-to-PE deals (secondary transacons), represenng anall-me high by $132 million. The increase was driven by anumber of factors, including changes in exit preferences,company sizes and mulples.

    This chart shows the changes in exit preferences thatoccurred during 2010 with a shi back to secondary sales andIPOs. Secondary sales returned in a big way with 3x more dealsin 2010 than in 2009, though the chart shows that the 28% ofexits they currently make up is relavely close to the long-termaverage. IPOs connued to be an opon, although most of the57 completed were mainly for the purpose of companycapital-raising rather than investor liquidity.

    1-877-2

    [email protected] [ 11 ]

    One of the most important developments during 2010 for the private equity industry was an increase in exits, which were up 3.8xfrom the low of 39 during 1Q 2009 to 148 during 4Q 2010. In fact, the second half of 2010 alone had more exits than 2009 as awhole. These exits are crucial, because as was previously discussed, there are nearly 1,800 investments that have reached the point

    where they need to be sold to generate liquidity for fund investors. Fortunately, strategic acquirers (corporaons) connue to bebig buyers of PE-backed companies, IPOs again appear to be a viable opon for a lot of companies and the $485 billion PE capitaloverhang is driving more and more secondary sales (PE firm to PE firm deals) and at record sale amounts.

    Private Equity Fundraising

    U.S Private Equity Fundraising by Year

    U.S Private Equity Fundraising by Quarter

    1-877-2

    [email protected] [ 12 ]

    U.S. private equity fundraising struggled in 2010 withonly 95 funds reaching final closes, raising a total of $84

    billion. The second half of the year was the worst 6-month

    stretch for PE fundraising since 2003 with only $30 billion

    raised by 33 funds. As a result of the difficult market, the

    average fund size was down significantly in 2010 to $911

    million from $1.5 billion just two years ago. Fundraising has

    lagged behind deal flow by about a year in showing the

    effects of the financial crises, meaning 2H 2010 will likely

    represent a boom for fundraising. A number of factors are

    currently causing a drag on private equity fundraising,

    including the current $485 billion private equity overhang,

    limited partners (LPs) at the top of their allocaons and a

    preference by many LPs to wait for more liquidity fromcurrent funds before comming to new ones.

    However, there were bright spots in private equity fundraising during 2010, such as the strong showing by middle-

    market funds, which raised almost 90% of the total capital. Firms with strong historical track records were also able

    to raise capital quickly and in some cases even exceed their targets. It was also a good year for mezzanine funds,

    which had their fih-best year with a total of $6.5 billion raised by 14 funds.

    Fundraising in 2011 has strong potenal to be much beer than 2010. Firstly, there are over 660 funds currently

    on the fundraising trail, and a number of top performing funds are expected to bring new funds to market in 2011 as

    well. Secondly, as the market connues to recover, porolio valuaons and distribuons will increase again, making

    the asset class more aracve. Finally, aer making limited commitments during the past few years, LPs will need to

    invest to maintain allocaon targets and recommit to exisng top managers raising new funds.

    The average size of 2010-vintage private equity fundswas the fih-highest on record at $911 million but well

    below the high of $1.5 billion set by the 2008 vintage. The

    drop in fund size came as PE fund managers opted to

    close funds short or at the low end of their target range

    rather than face another year on the fundraising trail.

    Distressed/Restructuring funds had the highest average

    fund size in 2010 at $1.7 billion, followed by Buyout funds

    with $748 million.

    The average me spent fundraising by funds closed in2010 was 19 months, a 19% increase from 2009s average

    and almost double the me spent by 2007 and 2008

    vintage funds. Distressed/Restructuring funds had the

    shortest fundraising period this year at 10 months on

    average. 2010-vintage mezzanine funds had the longest

    average fundraising period at 24 months. 2010 buyout

    funds took an average of 18 months to reach their final

    close.
