Consumer M&A was slower in Q1 2019 than in the prior quarter,continuing a trend of subdued deal flow that has persisted for fivestraight quarters. Slower volume may reflect increased pricingpressures. As an increasing number of firms continue to explore newdigital strategies, some Consumer companies will likely remainacquisitive in 2019 and beyond. Others may instead turn to corecompetencies and see divestments, such as recent ones done byKellogg’s and Hormel, as a key part of their corporate strategy. Severalcompanies cited plenty of dry powder to continue to make bothtransformative and smaller scale acquisitions going forward.

JAB Holding Co.’s announcement of a tender offer to increase its stakein Coty, Inc. was among the largest deals in Q1 2019. The proposedpurchase of 150 million shares would give JAB 60% ownership in thecosmetics company (of which it presently holds 47%) for a cost of $1.75billion. JAB’s other holdings include consumer brands such as PaneraBread and Peet’s Coffee & Tea.

Management teams’ focus remained on the macro environment, butcommentary showed more confidence in continuing economic strengthgoing forward. Additionally, most companies were also quick to point outcontinuing strong demand trends across markets globally.

There is an acceleration of digitization across industries to meetconsumer expectations. Companies are planning to embrace digitaltransformation to improve asset efficiencies and are looking toconsolidate and upgrade their systems for better business insights. Assuch, the outlook for this space remains optimistic.

Commentary“We’re constantly thinking what’s going to be next, what’s this businessgoing to look like in 5 years and 10 years and 20 years and getting aheadof the curve. And the main way we get ahead of the curve is technologyand applying technology and automation in every single part of ourbusiness..." — Bradley S. Jacobs, Chairman & CEO

HighlightsFor the quarter ended March 31, 2019 (Q1’19):

• XPO Connect—the company’s digital freight marketplace—represents asignificant investment in technology. Its success in freight brokerage isleading XPO to roll it out in last mile space in North America andacross transportation services in Europe.

• The quarter provided a solid beat on adjusted EBITDA and even moreso on free cash flow. Adjusted EBITDA, at $343 million, was a firstquarter record, up 3.9% YoY.

• Management provided no specific direction on uses of “oodles of cashflow” but instead will continue looking at what makes the most sensefrom a return on capital point of view between M&A, paying downdebt, capital expenditures, and stock buybacks.

• Buying truck brokers is attractive as part of long-term growth plans forXPO, but very high valuations coupled with/caused by relative scarcityof larger truck brokers presents an obstacle. Management cites similarlogic for being less active in M&A in Asia.

• XPO expects to continue the scaled rollout of robotics for both newlaunches and existing relationships, and to expand contract logisticsmargins over time as a result.

• The ongoing combination with Bemis Company, Inc. (expected to becompleted in Q2 2019) complements organic growth in both theFlexibles and Rigid Plastics segments by producing net positivesynergies once accounting for the costs of integration. Currentoutlooks are on the order of $5-$10 million in each of the segmentsand are expected to be delivered relatively evenly over the 3-yearperiod post-close.

• Amcor expects full-year free cash flow to be in the range of $200-$300million. Pursuing acquisitions remains part of the capital allocationframework that has not changed for a number of years.

Commentary"We’re kind of in this iPhone world now where if things don’t go up 10%every week, somehow that’s a disappointment. But I’ll take 2.5%growth all day long in a business that has 90% free cash flow conversionbecause it has very little capital requirement.“— Timothy J. Donahue, CEO & Director

HighlightsFor the quarter ended March 31, 2019 (Q1’19):

• Quarterly improvement in segment income is primarily due to Signodeacquisition from The Carlyle Group in 2017, which closed in April 2018.

• Given Signode’s $2.5 billion in revenue and recent spend of $30 millionin capital, management is very happy with 2%-2.5% growth.

• Getting to position where Crown can supplement Signode acquisitionwith a bolt-on or perhaps a little larger is among the company’s goals.

• Management expects above-market growth going forward, partiallybased on new plant expansion in 2018. Plants were open or expanded inSpain, Italy, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Mexico.

• Strong and recurring free cash flow continues to be a goal and haspreviously supported acquisition activity (Mivisa in 2014, Empaque in2015, Signode in 2018).
