2017 Completed Transactions In 2017, MHA advised on 85 completed domestic and cross-border transactions, enabling our entrepreneurial client base to pursue strategies for growth, deliver succession plans and realise shareholder value; this represents a 37% increase on 2016 completed transactions. MHA firms also secured top rankings in a number of the UK s regions in 2017, and our teams won numerous M&A awards. Experian reports that the total number and value of UK transactions declined in 2017 (by 5.5% and 6.6% respectively); however 2017 M&A activity still exceeded the long-term historical average. Private equity and VCT funds raised additional capital in 2017, further supplementing substantial dry powder to be deployed in the market. The UK also remains particularly attractive to overseas acquirers buoyed by the continuation of low interest rates and favourable exchange rates. We anticipate that entrepreneurial businesses in the SME and lower mid-market space will continue to command near record valuation multiples and M&A activity will remain solid throughout 2018 (Source: Experian). 85 Completed transactions in 2017 37% 9.7m 21.6m Increase compared to 2016 Transaction Type Average Transaction Size Average Turnover 54 18 6 4 Mergers & Acquisitions MBOs/MBIs Development Capital Share Buy Backs Sector Breakdown Manufacturing Business Services Construction & Real Estate Healthcare 20% 20% 17% 15% Technology Motor Financial Services Retail & Hospitality 9% 7% 6% 6% 3 www.mha-uk.co.uk
