M&A confidence was building every quarter throughout 2013 and climaxed in September, when total deal values surpassed 2012s like-for-like period for the first time. But Q4s 12.7% drop to US$ 570.5bn-worth of deals from Q3 (US$ 653.7bn) slashed hopes for an uptick rather than another flat year This year will end as the third static year for deal value, down 3.2% at US$ 2,215.1bn compared to US$ 2,288.8bn in 2012. 2013 has been the slowest year since 2010 (US$ 2,089.6bn). Mega-deals totalling US$ 397.9bn, Verizons US$ 124.1bn deal value, a US recovery and the lowest number of lapsed bids on record, have failed to spur on significant growth Despite the lackluster Q4, H2s deals valued at US$ 1,224.2bn overtook H1 (US$ 990.8bn) by 23.6% after a pre-Christmas dash to announce deals The 105 lapsed deals in 2013 was the lowest level on Mergermarket record (since 2001). The US$ 22.7bn bid for KPN by Americal Movil in 2013 was the fifth largest lapsed bid since 2009 and the highest valued in 2013 and yet the total value of lapsed deals in 2013 (US$ 83.9bn) was the lowest in over a decade (2002 valued at US$ 79.7bn)

Asia-Pacific also increased its share to global cross-border M&A with US$ 136.1bn-worth of deals taking a 17.6% share compared to US$ 135.5bn-worth of cross-border deals having a 15.5% share in 2012 Stressing the preference for US domestic M&A was the 26.3% decline by value for crossborder deals involving North American targets in 2013 (US$ 192.8bn) compared to 2012 (US$ 261.6bn). Attention on Central and South American targets dropped 34.7% to US$ 48.5bn compared to US$ 74.3bn in 2012

Q4 buyout activity increased in all regions compared to Q3 with Asia-Pacific (excl. Japan) witnessing the highest increase by 18% (US$ 9.8bn). The US (US$ 24.4bn) saw a modest increase of 3.4% (Q3 2013 valued at US$ 23.6bn) as companies held on to post-crisis record amounts of cash. The US did however remain the most active region in 2013 (US$ 132.7bn) with deal values up 2.4% from 2012 (US$ 129.6bn) and seven out of the top 10 deals involving US-based firms

The total value of buyouts during 2013 stood at US$ 271.1bn, a modest 0.4% increase by value compared to 2012 (US$ 270.0bn). This can, in part, be credited to the USs megadeals in the Consumer and Technology sectors during H1 2013 Buyout deals contributed 12.2% to global M&A activity (US$ 2.2tn), up from 11.8% in 2012 but lower than in 2011 (13.1%) Unable to maintain the mega-deal momentum set in H1 2013, there were no buyout deals valued above US$ 5bn in the final quarter of the year, leaving the US$ 27.4bn acquisition of H.J. Heinz by Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital Partners as the highest valued deal of 2013

from US$ 378.6m in 2012 Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan) was the only region to experience a higher level of exits in 2013 compared to last year with a buoyant 62.7% increase at US$ 28.8bn (2012 valued at US$ 17.7bn). China saw a record value and number of exits during 2013 which made up 40% of Asias exits. Chinas US$ 11.5bn-worth of transactions more than doubled its previous peak in 2009 (US$ 4.3bn) The largest exit in 2013 was Warburg Pincus sale of Bausch & Lomb to Valeant Pharmaceuticals for US$ 8.7bn. Exits from the Pharma, Medical & Biotech sector decreased by value for the second year to US$ 33.3bn, down 15.9% compared to 2012 (US$ 39.6bn) Mid-market advisor Lincoln International led the financial advisor league table by deal count for exits in 2013 with 38 deals valued at US$ 724m

The total value of private equity backed exits in 2013 was US$ 270.8bn. The 9.1% decrease from 2012 (US$ 298.0bn) resulted in the weakest annual value since 2010 (US$ 249.9bn) Q4 2013 saw 458 exits worth US$ 87.7bn, 18% higher than the previous quarter (US$ 74.3bn) and up 20.6% compared to Q4 2012 (US$ 72.7bn) The value of Secondary Buyouts (SBOs) in 2013 reversed three annual increases. Deal value stood at US$ 79.8bn, down 7.6% from 2012 (US$ 86.4bn). The market share of SBOs to total exits witnessed a marginal increase to 29.5% compared to 29% last year Trade Sale exits also decreased from US$ 211.6bn in 2012 to US$ 191.0bn in 2013. The 9.7% drop was the second successive annual decline. A vicious circle has appeared for trade sales - private equity firms refrain from sales at lower rates than their original buyout price but strategic players avoid having to pay high values. This was emphasised by a decline in the average deal size for trade sales with 2013s average at US$ 321.0m, down

Along with this growth pattern, 2013s total average of US$ 192.9m was up 2% compared to last years average of US$ 189.1m A 71.4% (US$ 284.2bn) share of the total value of mega-deals in 2013 (US$ 397.9bn) came from ten deals (US$ 284.2bn) targeting US companies. As a result, the US achieved its highest average deal size on Mergermarket record (since 2001) at US$ 526.6m, up 1.9% from the previous high in 2009 (US$ 516.7m)

At 15%, the share of cross-border deals with a consideration mix of both cash and equity hit the highest level since 2007 (16.3%). The year saw US$ 93.7bn-worth of cross-border deals funded this way, up 86.5% compared to 2012 (US$ 50.3bn) However, global M&A deals with an equity-only consideration declined for a second year to US$ 241.9bn, down 21.6% from 2012 (US$ 308.5bn). Additionally, as a percentage of global M&A funding, deals paid for with equity constituted a mere 14.8% - marking a fifth consecutive drop and the lowest on Mergermarket record (2001) Until the final quarter of 2013, cash was very much the consideration of choice for investors looking to snap up US companies. Cash only deals witnessed consecutive value increases through the first three quarters, before taking a dip in Q4 to US$ 107.7bn - a 5.2% decline compared to Q3 (US$ 113.6bn). Meanwhile, deals funded by a mix of cash and equity were up 135.9% to US$ 71.3bn in Q4 compared to US$ 30.2bn in Q3

eals valued at US$ 631.6bn dropped 12% from 2012 (US$ 717.8bn) and represented a D second annual decline. The final quarter of 2013 (US$ 150.9bn) led to the year not having one quarter above US$ 200bn for the first time since 2009 Deal value in Q4 was on par with Q3 (US$ 149.4bn) but dropped 39.5% compared to Q4 2012 (US$ 249.6bn) The 28.5% share that European M&A contributed to global M&A was slightly below 2012 (31.4%). However, the eurozone countries saw several high profile deals such as those in Italys luxury fashion sector (e.g. Loro Piana) which resulted in their share to global M&A increasing to 15.5% from 14.2% last year The largest deal in Q4 2013 was the tenth largest European targeted deal of the whole year. Celesio was acquired by McKesson Corporation for US$ 7.6bn in October. Activist hedge fund Elliott is expected to use its stake in Celesio to push for a bid bump in squeeze-out negotiations, according to Mergermarket intelligence

2013s US$ 893.1bn-worth of deals has led to the fourth year of increased value for UStargeted M&A. The 3.8% increase from 2012 resulted in the highest annual value since 2007s US$ 1.3tn At the same time, if not for the US$ 124.1bn Verizon Wireless deal, US M&A in 2013 would have seen the lowest deal value since 2010 (US$ 720.6bn) at US$ 769bn. This would have represented a 10.6% decline compared to 2012

Expectations for 2013 were high amid further economic recovery and a seemingly healthy M&A pipeline. However, despite being the driver of global M&A, US M&A has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride. Beginning the year with strong momentum (Q1 2013 valued at US$ 178.8bn), the US experienced a downturn in Q2 (US$ 168.4bn), only to double in deal value by Q3 (US$ 324.8bn) and drop again in the last quarter of the year (US$ 221.1bn) ith the government shutdown in October, Q4 2013 saw a 31.9% decline from Q3. It also W dropped 29.2% by deal value from Q4 2012 (US$ 312.3bn) which was reflected in the global trend

US cross-border analysis
As the US economy stabilises, local companies are increasingly looking inward for acquisition opportunities: the value of domestic deals in 2013 (US$ 728.2bn) increased 9.1% from 2012 (US$ 667.7bn). As a result, this was the most active year for domestic deals since 2007 (US$ 976.3bn)

The preference for domestic M&A can also be seen in the lack of growth for outbound activity during 2013 (US$ 176.1bn) which declined 6% from 2012 (US$ 187.3bn). Q4s US$ 42.9bn declined 13.5% compared to Q3 (US$ 49.6bn) and up by 32.9% compared to Q4 2012 (US$ 63.9bn) Amid improving economic conditions, the nature of the US investor abroad is changing as well. In 2013, 80% of US outbound deal value came from a corporate buyer (versus a US-based financial sponsor), the highest proportion since 2008 (84.4%) and the secondhighest since 2001 (93.7%) Consequently, riskier investments in the emerging markets appear to be traded for stable alternatives at home. US investments into the BRICs in 2013 (US$ 11.1bn, 122 deals) have declined for two consecutive years and saw the lowest deal count since 2009 (110 deals)

Q4s largest deal was in the Financial Services sector and saw the acquisition of International Lease Finance by AerCap Holdings for US$ 26.4bn. Nonetheless, the sector still experienced a 10.4% year-on-year decrease in value (US$ 68.3bn in 2013 compared to US$ 76.2bn in 2012) In part due to the USs shale revolution, the share of inbound Energy, Mining & Utilities deals has decreased each year since 2011, with 2013 (US$ 15.4bn) representing only 11.2% of the total value (US$ 137.5bn). The share of domestic deals in the sector witnessed consecutive increases with 2013 (US$ 122.1bn) accounting for 88.8% of the total

Africa and Middle East saw an 163.4% worth of value from Asia-Pacific (excl. Japan) with deals valued at US$ 18.8bn compared to US$ 7.1bn last year.

Japans M&A value declined for the second straight year in 2013 with deals valued at US$ 42.9bn down 39.9% from the same period in 2012 (US$ 71.4bn). It was the lowest valued year in almost a decade (2004 was valued at US$ 39.2bn) The source of the decline was Q4s US$ 6.5bn-worth of deals being the lowest valued quarter since Q3 2004 (US$ 6.5bn). The US$ 10bn+ tally during Q2 and Q3 signalled confidence in the country until the final quarter dropped 60.1% compared to Q4 2012 (US$ 16.3bn) and 50% from Q3 2013 (US$ 13bn) Continued resilience to invest in large-cap deals since Shinzo Abe came to power was demonstrated by an increase in only the less risky small-cap deals. The 390 deals under US$ 250m totalled US$ 11.7bn during 2013, up slightly from the 331 deals valued at US$ 9.8bn in the same bracket during 2012 Japan Cablenet, a cable operator that focuses on local broadcasting, was acquired for US$ 1.1bn by Japans largest cable TV operator, Jupiter Telecommunications. This was the largest deal in Q4 and saw one shareholder command higher values than 2010s offer price and labelled an original offer grossly unfair

If the Tokyo Electron deal was excluded from the total deal value, there were only 33 inbound transactions worth US$ 4.1bn, representing a sizeable 58.6% drop compared to 2012s total of US$ 9.9bn. It would also have resulted in the lowest total value of inbound deals since 2006 (US$ 2.7bn) Subdued inbound deals during Q2 (US$ 0.4bn) and Q4 (US$ 1.1bn) were responsible for the annual decline. Q4 was down 89.7% compared to Q3 (US$ 10.3bn) and if the Tokyo Electron deal was excluded from Q3s total, Q4 would still represent a 31.3% decrease Outbound deal value saw a quarter-on-quarter recovery during 2013 ending Q3 with US$ 21.6bn-worth of deals. The climb in deal value ceased in Q4 though with a 39.4% decline from Q3 to US$ 13.1bn. The total value of outbound deals during 2013 was US$ 47.4bn, down 58.8% from 2012 (US$ 115.2bn)

During the height of the financial crisis, investors sought alternative opportunities in the emerging markets. Following a low of US$ 329.3bn in 2009, annual M&A values in the region have been at pre-crisis levels (2007 US$ 451.7bn), topping US$ 450bn every year since. With a total value of US$ 488.7bn, 2013 continues the trend however, dropping 6.7% compared to 2012 (US$ 524bn) The M&A slow down can largely be attributed to continued economic recovery in the US and Europe, which in turn has lead to a shift in investor focus from emerging markets to more domestic deal making. M&A deal value came to US$ 139.9bn during Q4, up 7.5% from Q3 (US$ 130.1bn), but down 29.4% compared to Q4 2012 (US$ 198.2bn)
