August 29, 2016 – Toronto, ON – In the first half of 2016, the Canadian investment landscape continued to show strength, especially on the VC side. Building on a huge Q1, $683M was invested in Q2 bringing the total to $1.5B invested over 255 deals. This is significantly higher than the first half of 2015, where $1.1B was invested over 272 deals. The ICT sector led the way with $1,027M invested in H1 (67 per cent of the total dollars invested), followed by $310M in life sciences (20 per cent) and $114M in agribusiness (7 per cent).

The average VC deal size in H1 jumped 53 per cent from $4M to $6.1M driven by a few major deals involving CVCA members. These included cloud-based real estate app, Real Matters, which raised $100M, and the $128M investment in DalCor Pharmaceuticals—a CVCA life sciences record. FarmersEdge, a big data agribusiness, received a VC investment of $58M, a new high for its sector.

“Venture capital investment continues to rise in Canada,” says Mike Woollatt, chief executive officer, CVCA. “On the top-end, we’ve seen a significant increase in the share of the amount invested in later stage deals (50 per cent) compared

to last year (38 per cent), which is what Canada really needs to help companies scale and become world leaders.”

On the PE side, $3.1B was invested (over 87 deals) in Q2, up 4 per cent from $3B in the previous quarter (over 86 deals). However, the total amount invested in H1 2016 was 32 per cent lower than the same period last year ($6.1B over 173 deals versus $8.9B over 194 deals).

One exception was the CleanTech sector with $1.5B invested in 10 deals. The average CleanTech deal size increased 325 per cent from last year due in large part to $800M invested in Services Matrec and $480M in financing for Capstone Infrastructure Corporation.

Quebec captured nearly a third of all PE financings in the first half—an increase from 2015 (24 per cent) and 2014 (14 per cent), and now rivals Ontario (32 per cent) for PE investment.

“For private equity, there’s positive news in the CleanTech sector. But overall, the 2016 first-half numbers have been lower than what we’ve seen in the past couple of years,” Woollatt adds. “This is primarily due to the slowdown in oil and gas activity continuing into 2016. There is still a tremendous amount of dry powder out there, however, so we expect investment levels to eventually increase.”

Adding to the dry powder, just over $4M in new PE funds were raised in H1, 13 per cent more than was raised the same time last year ($3.6M).

CVCA outlook from the first half of 2016: Canadian VC investment continues to be strong, PE lags
