Executive Summary

• More than 2,000 European companies were exited, representing former equity investments of €22bn. While the number of companies remained

stable the amount divested at cost decreased by 29%.

• Of all exited companies in 2012 venture capital represented almost 50% and growth 23%. Their typical exits included trade sale, sale to another

private equity firm and write-off. Buyout related exits attributed 85% of equity amount divested at cost. This presents a decline of 26%.

Prominent exit routes were trade sale, sale to another private equity firm and public offering.

• Initial Public Offering (IPO) levels remained very low. Only three buyout and five venture capital investments were able to take this exit route.

• The overall amount of €36.5bn invested in European companies in 2012 reduced by 19% compared to the previous year. This was due to the weak

first half of 2012 coinciding with economic uncertainty in Europe. In contrast, the number of private equity backed companies remained stable at

almost 5,000 European companies. Therefore, it was less capital intensive for the industry to invest in a constant number of companies in

Europe. About 43% of the companies that received investment in 2012 were private equity backed for the first time.

• The total amount of venture capital invested reduced year on year by 14% to €3.2bn. The number of venture capital backed companies remained

stable at about 2,900. For the first time more than 1,000 companies attracted growth investments despite a decrease in amount of 26%

compared to 2011. Buyout investments reached €28bn. More than 800 companies received buyout investments similar to the level from 2011

although the investment amount reduced by 19%.

More data on www.evca.eu – Research & Data

• Overall fundraising decreased in 2012 by 43% to €23.6bn compared to 2011. This reduction was driven by lower activity of larger funds. In 2012

only 13 funds were raising more than €250m compared to 26 in 2011. Funds that raised in excess of €250m in 2012 dropped in total volume by

51% compared to 2011. In contrast, the volume raised by funds smaller than €250m reduced by only 25% in the same period.

• Pension funds and fund of funds accounted for almost half of all sources of funds with more than 20% each. Family offices & private individuals,

government agencies and sovereign wealth funds follow as major sources with 10-12% each.

• Despite macroeconomic challenges, €8.6bn (40%) of funds raised came from institutional investors outside of Europe.

EVCA Statistics explained: For the purpose of a longer time series this graph shows “industry statistics” capturing activity by location of the private

equity firm. In the following presentation most statistics on investments and divestments are reported as “market statistics” to focus on the impact

of portfolio companies in Europe that are backed by private equity. This data is only available since 2007.

• Growth fund: Funds whose strategy is to invest in relatively

mature companies that are looking for capital to expand or

restructure operations.

• Buyout fund: A fund whose strategy is predominantly to acquire

controlling stakes in established companies.

• Mezzanine fund: A fund that provides (generally subordinated)

debt to facilitate the financing of buyouts, frequently alongside a

right to some of the equity upside.

• Generalist fund: A fund with either a stated focus of investing in

all stages of private equity investment, or with a broad area of

investment activity.

Type of investors

• Corporate investor: Corporations that deliver non-financial

• Endowment: An institution that is bestowed money (and possibly

other assets) via a donation with the stipulation to invest it and use

the gains for specific objectives so that the principal remains intact.

• Family office: An office that provides investment management and

other financial services to one or several families.

• Foundations: A non-profit organisation through which private

wealth is contributed and distributed for public or charitable

purposes.

• Fund of funds: A private equity fund that primarily takes equity

• Government agencies: Country, regional, governmental and

European agencies or institutions for innovation and development

(including structures such as the EBRD or EIF).

endowment, family office, foundation, insurance company or

pension fund) managing a pool of capital by investing it across asset

classes to generate financial returns.

• Pension funds: A pension fund that is regulated under private or

public sector law.

• Sovereign wealth funds: State-owned investment fund managing a

pool of money derived from a country's reserves.

NB: In the following presentation, unclassified figures concerning the type of

*Other includes Mezzanine and Generalist funds

• Overall fundraising decreased in 2012 by 43% to €23.6bn compared to 2011. This

reduction was driven by lower activity of larger funds. In 2012, only 13 funds were

raising more than €250m compared to 26 in 2011. Funds that raised more than

€250m in 2012 dropped in total volume by 51% compared to 2011. The volume

raised by funds smaller than €250m reduced only by 25% in the same period.

• Pension funds and fund of funds accounted for almost half of all sources of funds

with over 20% each. Family offices & private individuals, government agencies and

sovereign wealth funds follow as major sources with 10-12% each. Despite the

macroeconomic challenges, €8.6bn (40%) of funds raised came from institutional

investors outside of Europe.

• Venture capital accounted for 15% of total fundraising compared to 12% in 2011,

beating with € 3.6bn raised the 2010 fundraising low of the past five years. 102

venture capital funds raised new capital in 2012 compared to 152 in 2011. For the

fourth year running government agencies attributed a new high of 40% to venture

capital fundraising coming from 33% in 2011.

• Buyout fundraising reduced by 39%. The €16.5bn raised presented a €10bn drop

compared to the previous year, while still covering 70% of all fundraising. This can

be attributed to the strong fundraising year of 2011 which saw 81 funds

successfully raising new capital. Eight of these funds in 2011 were taking up more

than €1bn. In 2012, 68 funds raised capital with only 3 reaching more than €1bn.

• Growth fundraising reached only 9% of its 2011 level. Only 15 funds raised new

capital compared to 32 in the previous year.

Investments statistics explained

• Industry statistics are an aggregation of figures according to the country of the private equity firm’s office in charge of

the investment. At European level, this relates to investments made by European private equity firms regardless of the

location of the target company.

• Market statistics are an aggregation of figures according to the location of the portfolio company. At European level, this

relates to investments in European companies regardless of the location of the private equity firm.

• Equity value: The amount of capital invested to acquire shares in an enterprise. The equity value includes equity, quasi-

equity, mezzanine, unsecured debt and secured debt provided by the firm.


Investments | 28 | Creating lasting value

Glossary – Investment Stages

• Venture Capital

• Seed: Financing provided to research, assess and develop an

initial concept before a business has reached the start-up

phase.

• Start-up: Financing provided to companies for product

development and initial marketing. Companies may be in the

process of being set up or may have been in business for a

short time, but have not sold their product commercially.

• Later-stage venture: Financing provided for the expansion

of an operating company, which may or may not be breaking

even or trading profitably. Later-stage venture tends to

finance companies already backed by venture capital firms.

• Growth: A type of private equity investment – most often a

minority investment but not necessarily – in relatively mature

companies that are looking for capital to expand or restructure

operations, enter new markets.

• Buyout: Financing provided to acquire a company. It may use a

significant amount of borrowed money to meet the cost of

acquisition.

• Rescue/Turnaround: Financing made available to an existing

business, which has experienced trading difficulties, with a view

to re-establishing prosperity.

• Replacement capital: The purchase of a minority stake of

existing shares in a company from another private equity firm or

from another shareholder or shareholders.

Investments – Market statistics – Amount & No. of companies

Key Figures

2012 All Private Equity Venture Capital* Buyout* Growth*

Investments – Amount (Market statistics) €36.5bn €3.2bn €28.0bn €3.8bn

Investments – Number of companies (Market statistics) 4,975 2,923 878 1,047

Number of firms involved (Market statistics) 1,004 556 428 329

Number of funds involved (Market statistics) 1,687 952 607 511

• Overall €36.5bn was invested in European companies in 2012 with a decrease of

19% compared to the previous year. This was due to the weak first half of 2012

coinciding with economic uncertainty in Europe.

• The number of private equity backed companies remained stable at almost 5,000

European companies. Therefore, it was less capital intensive for the industry to

invest in a constant number of companies in Europe. About 43% of the companies

that received investments in 2012 were private equity backed for the first time.

• The total amount of venture capital invested decreased year on year by 14% to

€3.2bn. The number of venture backed companies remained stable at about

2,900. Start-up stage investments accounted for the majority of venture capital

activity by amount and number of companies (56-60%). Life sciences, computer &

consumer electronics, communications and energy & environment accounted for

three quarters of all venture capital investments.

• For the first time more than 1,000 companies attracted growth investments

despite a decrease in amount of 26% compared to 2011. Almost two thirds were

in business & industrial products and services, computer & consumer electronics,

consumer services, energy and environment and life sciences.

• More than 800 companies received buyout investments similar to the 2011 level

although the investment amount reduced by 19% to €28bn. Buyout investments

broadly concentrate across sectors of business & industrial products and services,

computer & consumer electronics, consumer goods and retail, consumer services

and life sciences.

Divestments statistics explained

• Market statistics are an aggregation of figures according to the location of the portfolio company. At European level, this

relates to divestments of European companies regardless of the location of the private equity firm.

• Divestment amounts (including write-offs) are recorded at cost (i.e. the total amount divested is equal to the total amount

invested before).

Glossary – Divestment Stages

• Public offering: the sale or distribution of a company’s shares to the public for the first time by listing the company on the

stock exchange, also includes sale of quoted shares after a lock-up period.

• Repayment of principal loans: If a private equity firm provided loans or purchased preference shares in the company at the

time of the investment, then their repayment according to the amortisation schedule represents a decrease of the financial

claim of the firm into the company, and hence a divestment.

• Repayment of silent partnership: A silent partnership is a type of mezzanine financing instrument. It is similar to a long-

term bank loan but, in contrast to a loan, a silent partnership is subject to a subordination clause, so that in the event of

insolvency all other creditors are paid before the silent partner. The company has to repay the partnership and has to pay

interest and possibly a profit-related compensation. The subordination clause gives the capital the status of equity despite

its loan character. This financing instrument is frequently used in Germany.

• Sale to another private equity firm: The sale of company shares to another direct private equity firm.

• Sale to financial institution: The sale of company shares to banks, insurance companies, pension funds, endowments,

foundations and other asset managers other than private equity firms.

• Trade sale: The sale of company shares to industrial investors.

• Write-off: The total or partial write-down of a portfolio company’s value to zero or a symbolic amount (sale for a nominal

amount) with the consequent exit from the company or reduction of the shares owned. The value of the investment is

eliminated and the return to investors is a full or partial loss.
