Alive and Kicking
Private equity committed USD90 billion to global healthcare deals in 2022 according to Bain & Company’s 12th annual report on M&A activity.This significant capital injection – the second highest on record – shows that despite rising rates and market volatility last year, the global healthcare space is very much alive and kicking; and a further reminder of its recession-proof attributes. Rising labour costs and tighter credit conditions will require investors to perform a careful diagnosis this year, and consider creative approaches to deal making. Still, the long-term M&A outlook is likely to remain in rude health, especially in biopharma and life sciences.
Global cooling
Much is spoken about global warming but right now Climate Tech is facing an unwelcome spell of ‘global cooling’ as deal values decline.Although far from becoming an Ice Age, the level of funding for Climate Tech has reached a three-year low, with quarterly deal value down 50% from its high point in Q3 2021. According to Pitchbook, start-up firms attracted $5.7 billion in new capital in the first quarter of this year. VC managers will be praying to the rain gods that the current environment doesn’t turn in to a prolonged drought.
Toshiba Mega Price
Toshiba’s board has given the green light to a $15 billion buyout that, if approved by shareholders, would make it Japan’s biggest ever take-private deal.And provide a timely turbo boost to the country’s private equity industry. At the front of the grid is Japan Industrial Partners, along with five other financial institutions and 17 domestic companies. The next turn of events will see Toshiba’s board convene a special committee to assess the deal. It is believed that several of the conglomerates largest shareholders were comfortable with the valuation formula used. As the chequered flag approaches, all eyes will be on the completion of this historic deal.
