PRIVATE EQUITY

SMART

ForewordAs the industry representative of private equity and venture capital in Southern Africa, we’re pleased to publish the SAVCA 2016 Private Equity Industry Survey. This report, now in its sixteenth year of production, is amongst the most comprehensive and enduring surveys of its kind for the asset class internationally, and enables SAVCA to comment authoritatively on trends in private equity in Southern Africa.

The standout theme from this survey, which covers activity during 2015, is the notable pick-up in fund raising by private equity managers: R29.0 billion was raised in 2015, up from R11.8 billion in 2014 and the highest on record for the industry (excluding allocations by South Africa’s Government Employees Pension Fund to the PIC). The vast majority of this capital was sourced by independent fund managers from third-party investors for late-stage mandates.

Brisk capital raising contributed to growth in industry-wide funds under management, which totalled R165.3 billion at the end of 2015, compared to R150.3 billion at the end of the previous year (data excludes funds under management by the PIC). The industry has clocked compounded annual growth of 11.9% since the survey commenced in 1999.

Funds under management include R40.6 billion in undrawn commitments (2014: R41.6 billion), which will be called upon in the next few years as managers implement their investment strategies.

The value of investment activity during 2015 reached R10.5 billion (2014: R13.9 billion), of which R4.4 billion was for follow-on investments and R6.1 billion for new investments. By value, most of the deal activity was centred on late-stage assets in financial services, retail, infrastructure and manufacturing, reflecting the generalist nature of the Southern African private equity industry.

BEE remains a significant feature and driver of private equity in South Africa. Nearly two-thirds of the value of deals done in 2015 entailed investee companies with BEE ratings of four or better.

Realisations totalled R4.5 billion (2014: R5.6 billion), with trade sales being the most prominent exit route by value. The industry returned R8.9 billion in funds to investors in 2015 (2014: R11.0 billion), which includes proceeds from realisations, dividends, loan repayments and interest representing a times money multiple of 1.9 times (2014: 2.3).

There was an increase in the participation of the number of private equity fund managers in this year’s survey: Having approached 110 potential respondents, we received completed questionnaires from 72 managers (2014: 59) representing 84 funds (2014: 76). This information was augmented through alternative sources for a further 10 managers representing 18 funds.

We thank SAVCA members for their support and involvement, which enabled us to produce this survey. KPMG South Africa has been our research partner for this survey and was, once again, responsible for gathering, processing and analysing the very large volume of data. We are grateful to Michael Rudnicki, Bridget Blackburn and Julie Booysen for their unflagging commitment to this survey.

1Highlights


Highlights• South Africa’s private equity industry, including both private and government funds (excluding the Public Investment Corporation (PIC)), had R165.3 billion in funds under management (FUM) at 31 December 2015, an increase from R150.3 billion at 31 December 20141. This represents a compound annual growth rate of 11.9% since 1999, when the survey first began.

• Had the PIC been included in the total FUM at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014, and assuming that the 2015 PIC FUM remained constant with 2014, the total industry FUM would have increased from R189.9 billion in 2014 to R204.9 billion in 2015.

• Of FUM at the end of 2015, R40.6 billion were in undrawn commitments. R21.0 billion was available for future investments exclusively in South Africa and R19.6 billion for Pan Africa (the latter includes the mandate to invest in South Africa and the rest of Africa).

• Of the R40.6 billion in undrawn commitments, 85.5% is committed to Independents (R34.7 billion), 11.3% to Captives – Financial Services (R4.6 billion), 0.7% to Captives – Government (R0.3 billion) and 2.5% (R1.0 billion) to Captives - Other.

• R29.0 billion was raised in 2015, an increase from the R11.8 billion raised in 2014. The bulk of funds raised (95.9% or R27.8 billion) is for late-stage investments.

• Of funds raised during 2015, 75.8% were from South African sources (2014: 55.2%). South Africa has been the source of 54.7% of cumulative funds raised to date and not yet returned to investors (2014: 46.6%)

• Investment activity for Independents only, as a percentage of GDP, was 0.2% (2014: 0.1%). This compares with 1.9% for the UK and 1.4% for the US.

• The value of new investments totalled R10.5 billion during 2015, compared with R13.9 billion in 2014. Of the R10.5 billion invested, R4.4 billion was for follow-on investments, and R6.1 billion for new investments.

• Funds returned to investors in 2015 totalled R8.9 billion, a 19.1% decline from the R11.0 billion returned to investors during 2014.

1 The PIC did not participate in this year’s survey, and thus no 2015 data is available for the PIC. The PIC is not participating as it is the PIC’s belief that the nature of their investments within private equity includes investments in assets which may not necessarily constitute private equity in the traditional sense. PIC data, previously classifi ed under Captives-Government, has been removed from historical survey data to ensure comparability over time.

2Funds under

management

Funds under management• The survey reflects that the South African private equity industry has a total of R165.3 billion in funds under management (FUM). This is a R15.0 billion increase from the R150.3 billion in FUM at 31 December 2014.2, 3

• The industry has achieved a compound annual growth rate of 11.9% in total FUM since 1999, when the survey began.

• FUM by Independents have increased by R11.5 billion, from R90.4 billion at 31 December 2014 to R101.9 billion at 31 December 2015.

• Total FUM by Captives – Financial Services decreased by R4.3 billion, from R32.6 billion at 31 December 2014, to R28.3 billion at 31 December 2015.

• The Captives – Government category increased from R18.3 billion in 2014 to R26.6 billion in 2015.

• Total undrawn commitments at 31 December 2015 reached R40.6 billion (2014: R41.6 billion), of which R34.7 billion (2014: R35.1 billion) reflects the undrawn commitments of independent fund managers.

• Private equity fund managers predominantly have a generalist mandate, with more than two thirds of the FUM at 31 December 2015 in the category Generalist.

2 The PIC did not participate in this year’s survey, and thus no 2015 data is available for the PIC. The PIC is not participating as it is the PIC’s belief that the nature of their investments within private equity includes investments in assets which may not necessarily constitute private equity in the traditional sense. PIC data, previously classified under Captives-Government, has been removed from historical survey data to ensure comparability over time.

3 The total FUM includes Pan-African funds which have an element of undrawn commitments that may be invested in South Africa or other African countries not specified.

Investment activity• The reported value of private equity investments made during 2015 is R10.5 billion (2014: R13.9 billion). The total number of investments increased by 33 to 534 during 2015 (2014: 501).

• The value of new investments during 2015 amounted to R6.1 billion (2014: R7.6 billion) and the value of follow-on investments during 2015 amounted to R4.4 billion (2014: R6.2 billion).

• The overall average investment deal size (new and follow-on transactions) decreased to R19.7 million during 2015, from R27.7 million for the 2014 year. The average deal size for new investments decreased to R22.3 million during 2015, from R27.4 million during 2014, while average deal size for follow-on investments decreased to R16.9 million during 2015, from R28.1 million during 2014.

• In terms of the number of reported investments, Business Partners, classified as Captives – Other, was again by far the most active investor in the South African private equity market, contributing 354 (66.3%) of the total number of reported investments made during 2015 (2014: 332; 66.3%). By value, Business Partners represents 7.6% of the cost of total investments made during 2015 (2014: 4.3%). The average deal size by Business Partners was R2.3 million in 2015 (2014: R1.9 million).

• Excluding the Business Partners investments, the average deal size of new investments during 2015 increases to R111.4 million (2014: R126.1 million) and the average deal size of follow-on investments during 2015 increases to R31.9 million (2014: R54.1 million) with the total average deal size during 2015 increasing to R54.0 million (2014: R78.4 million).

• Of the investments made during 2015 and classified into sectors by value, 15.9% were in the banks, financial services and insurance sectors, 15.7% in the retail sector, and 14.2% in the infrastructure sector.

• Infrastructure comprises 23.2% of the value of all unrealised investments at 31 December 2015, mining and natural resources accounts for 18.8% and manufacturing accounts for 15.4%.

• The cost of investments into seed and start-up/early-stage entities contributed 14.8% of cumulative unrealised investments at 31 December 2015 (2014: 14.7%). This represented 17.2% of the number of investments at 31 December 2015 (2014: 17.6%), which is indicative of the proportionally smaller transaction values for the early-stage types of deals.

• Expansion and development capital, as a proportion of investments made by cost, increased from 33.5% in 2014 to 38.8% in 2015. Replacement capital increased from 20.1% of investments made by cost during 2014 to 28.5% in 2015.

Performance• The overriding principle of the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) Guidelines is to show a fair valuation of investments to the investor. These guidelines were released during 2005 and adopted by the majority of global private equity associations, including SAVCA. This methodology is used as the basis for measuring the performance of private equity funds.

• Riscura, in conjunction with SAVCA, produce a quarterly South African Private Equity Performance Report. The latest reported private equity returns over different time periods are as follows:

11 52 | SAVCA 2016 Private Equity Industry Survey

11 Source of11 Source of11 information11 information11


Source of informationThe principal source of information for this survey was the survey questionnaire. Further sources include the SAVCA 2016 Members’ Directory, discussions with private equity industry participants, and public information on private equity funds that include international surveys.

The survey questionnaire was developed by SAVCA and KPMG.

The guidelines for participation in this survey are as follows:

Participants must:

• Include investments if they are made in South Africa, regardless from where they are managed;

• Have as their principal business the management of funds (third-party and/or proprietary capital) for the provision of capital (equity or quasi equity) primarily to unlisted companies;

• Employ professionals dedicated to the management of the capital and the investments made using the capital (and capital from other providers); and

• Aim to generate returns mainly through medium to long-term returns on the sale of investments and/or social development returns.

Questionnaires were e-mailed to 110 (2014:101) funds that indicated that they would consider participating in the survey. Of these, 72 (2014: 59), representing 84 funds (2014: 76), completed the questionnaire. In addition, alternative sources were used to obtain information on a further 10 private equity fi rms, representing 18 funds, that did not complete the questionnaire.

Comparative data for 2014 can be restated by participants for errors or omissions. In addition, 2014 data is restated to accommodate changes in survey participation.

Other empirical data have been obtained from various sources, including:

• EMPEA Industry Statistics Q4 2015 – Emerging Markets Private Equity – Fundraising & Investment Analysis; EM PE Fundraising by Region & Country – Data as of 31 December 2015

• RisCura-SAVCA South African Private Equity Performance Report – Quarter ended: 31 December 2015

• Statistics South Africa

• Other sources specifi cally included in the footnotes

SAVCA reviews the document prior to its public release. SAVCA does not have access to any of the individually completed questionnaires submitted to KPMG or any other information not presented in this publication.

While care has been taken in the compilation of the survey results, SAVCA and KPMG do not guarantee the reliability of its sources nor of the results presented. Any liability is disclaimed, including incidental or consequential damage arising from errors or omissions in this report.11

GlossaryBEE Black Economic Empowerment

BEE, as defi ned in the Financial Sector Charter, means the economic empowerment of all black people, including women, workers, youth, people with disabilities and people living in rural areas, through diverse but integrated socio-economic strategies.

Buy-out Leveraged and/or management buy-out or buy-in

Captive funds Funds making investments mainly on behalf of a parent or group, typically an insurance company, bank or institutional asset manager, often from an indeterminate pool of money.

Late-stage funds Funds focused on buyout, replacement capital and growth capital

Mezzanine debt Debt which ranks behind senior secured debt but ahead of trade credit and share-holders’ funds in terms of security. Mezzanine debt is often used in higher leveraged transactions to maximise funding availability from a company’s own balance sheet. It may provide for equity-like features such as attached share purchase warrants or participation in cash-flow.

Pooled IRR The pooled internal rate of return (IRR) aggregates or “pools” all cash flows and end-period net asset values to calculate a money-weighted return.

Replacement capital Funding for the purchase of existing shares in a company from other shareholders, whether individuals, other venture-backers or the public through the stock market. Unlike venture and development capital, the proceeds of replacement capital transactions are generally paid to the previous owners of the entity.

Glossary

For a number of years, Ethos engaged with the management of The Eazi Group – Africa’s market leader in the rental, sale and servicing of mobile work-at-height and material handling solutions. We recognised that, in a little over a decade, Eazi’s visionary management had built a differentiated business; providing service excellence, enhanced safety and innovative cost-effective solutions for their customers.

And in the process, they established a new industry.

Crucially, we also identified that management would likely seek financial and strategic support to strengthen their business further.In a R1,6bn investment, Ethos has now acquired 65% of The Eazi Group. Buffet Investments and founding shareholders, comprising senior management, have reinvested alongside Ethos as part of the transaction. The Group—comprising Eazi Access Rentals, Eazi Sales & Services, Eazi Africa and other subsidiaries—boasts the largest and most diverse fleet of boom lifts, scissor lifts, telehandlers and vertical personnel lifts on the African continent. With customers across multiple sectors of the economy (construction, shipping, manufacturing, FMCG, transport, entertainment and mining industries), Eazi stands out as deal with unique attributes. Accordingly, the Group is well positioned to capture additional growth by increasing market penetration.

Sourcing and executing proprietary deals is paramount for long-term success in private equity. Such differentiation becomes an even greater competitive advantage in turbulent times. Ethos’ record of successful investing for over 30 years—across economic and political cycles—is testament to our proven ability to identify and elevate growth platforms.
