OVERVIEW
Deal making in India slumped to US$ 2.9bn last quarter, down 83.1% from Q1 2012 (US$ 17.2bn). Even excluding the US$ 10.3bn merger between Sesa Goa and Sterlite Industries in Q1 2012 results in a decrease of 58%, underscoring the weight of concerns regarding the countrys econom y on M&A activity Likewise, M&A activity in the Asia-Pacific region as a whole dropped to US$ 72.9bn, a decline of 26.1% by value from Q1 2012 (US$ 98.6bn) A total of 55 deals were announced in India last quarter, far less than the 77 in Q1 2012. Deal count in the Asia-Pacific region this quarter too fell to 560 from 590 in Q1 2012 Inbound M&A activity by value slackened for the second straight quarter to US$ 2.2bn. An aggregate 30 targets were snapped up by foreign buyers, the smallest number since Q4 2011 (27 deals) Indian buyers were remarkably reticent in acquiring overseas targets this quarter. Outbound deals totaled US$ 0.6bn, the weakest performance since Q3 2010 (US$ 0.6bn). The deal count also fell to nine, the lowest since Q3 2009 (eight deals) M&A deal value in the Pharma, Medical & Biotech space was one of the few silver linings more than tripled from Q1 2012 (US$ 0.4bn), making it the biggest contributor to Indian M&A by value this quarter. It was one of the few silver linings in what has been a very sluggish quarter for M&A in India M&A in the bellwether Energy, Mining & Utilities sector dropped to US$ 0.4bn this quarter, a staggering 96.3% decline from Q1 2012 (US$ 10.5bn). Also, Business Services activity nearly vanished, a far cry from the US$ 3.1bn-worth of deals the sector attracted in Q1 2012 Mylans offer for two of Strides Arcolabs subsidiaries was the largest deal this quarter and, at US$ 1.6bn, accounted for 55.1% of the aggregate deal value in India. It was therefore, instrumental in determining the Financial & Legal Advisor rankings by value Morgan Stanley retained first place in the Financial Advisor League Table by value, advising on an aggregate US$ 2.1bn-worth of deals. Ernst & Youngs four deals topped the rankings by deal count The Legal Advisor League Table by value was dominated by the nine law firms that advised on the Mylan-Strides Arcolab transaction. AZB & Partners meanwhile, chalked up 13 mandates to finish as the most active legal advisor by deal count
