    1. Introduction

    It has been 3 years since we took up the

    Dealtracker initiative as a bi-monthly

    newsletter to cover the mergers and

    acquisitions (M&A) and private equity (PE)deals in the Indian market and it is indeed

    a matter of pride to be a part of the

    unprecedented M&A growth era of India

    Inc. We would like to take this opportunity

    to thank our readers for the excellent

    response, support and encouragement

    extended. We are happy to publish the

    Third Annual Issue of Dealtracker covering

    the year 2007.Globally M&A deals worth $4.48 trillion

    were announced during 2007 as against

    $3.61 trillion during 2006, i.e. a growth of

    24%. The year 2007 has seen very

    significant deals in India in both Private

    Equity (PE) and Mergers and Acquisitions

    (M&A). Over this year, India Inc has not

    only been an important destination for

    International Private Equity funding and

    Inbound M&As but also has been highly

    active in acquiring International

    companies, thus expanding its global

    foothold. The year 2007 has witnessed anumber of multi billion dollar deals for the

    first time in the history of Corporate India.

    The total value of deals (M&A and PE)

    announced in the calendar year 2007

    was $70.14 billion as against $28.16

    billion in 2006 and $18.35 billion in 2005.

    The average Indian M&A deal size was

    $75.61 Mn, while the average Indian PE

    deal size was $ 47 Mn during 2007. We

    have summarised the trend of M&A and

    PE deals during 2007 and presented a

    synopsis of top deals and sectoral

    performances over the year.

    1.1 Key Highlights 2007

    There were more than 1,000 deals in

    2007 (M&A and PE together), as

    compared to 782 in 2006 and 467 deals in

    2005.There were 13 M&A deals with deal value

    of over $500 Mn in 2007 as compared to 8

    deals and 7 deals in 2006 and 2005

    respectively.

    The value of Cross Border deals (both

    Inbound and Outbound) announced in

    2007 has almost tripled from 2006. The

    value of inbound deals increased from

    $5.1 billion in 2005 to $ 5.4 billion in 2006

    to $15.5 billion this year and value of

    outbound deals increased from $4.3 billion

    in 2005 to $9.9 billion in 2006 to $32.8

    billion in 2007. Tata-Corus, Vodafone-

    Hutch and Hindalco-Novelis deals

    accounted for 56.80% of total M&A deals

    during 2007.

    The value of domestic deals announced

    has declined from $ 6.9 billion in 2005 to $

    4.99 billion in 2006 to $ 2.85 billion in2007, even though the volume of domestic

    deals has increased from 151 deals in

    2005 to 214 deals in 2006 to 321 deals in

    2007.

    Though volume of M&A deals

    has grown by 40.83% during

    2007 as compared to 2006,

    value of M&A deals has grown

    by an astounding 152%.

    2. Mergers & Acquisitions

    The total number of M&A Deals

    announced during the calendar year 2007

    stands at 676 with a total announced

    value of $51.12 billion as against 480

    deals with a total announced value of

    $20.30 billion in 2006. There were 321

    domestic deals (both acquirer and target

    being Indian) with an announced value of

    $2.85 billion and 355 cross-border deals

    with an announced value of $48.26 billion.

    243 of the cross border deals were

    outbound deals (Indian companies

    acquiring businesses outside India) with a

    value of $32.76 billion and 112 were

    inbound deals (international companies or

    their subsidiaries acquiring Indianbusinesses) with an announced value of

    close to $15.5 billion. The average M&A

    deal value was $75.61 Mn during 2007.

    The average value of cross-border deals

    (both inbound and outbound) was $136

    Mn which was significantly higher when

    compared to average value of domestic

    deals which was close to $9 Mn.

    2.1 Sectoral Spread of M&A Deals

    Historically, sectors like Automotive, IT,

    Pharma, Banking sectors etc. were the

    leading players in M&A. However 2007

    saw significant participation by sectors

    such as Commodities (which primarily

    comprised Steel, Aluminium and Metals &

    Ores), Telecom, Power & Energy, Real

    Estate & Infrastructure.

    Steel and Telecom sectors were the clear

    leaders as far as sectoral values were

    concerned. These sectors accounted for

    $14.9 billion and $ 11.3 billion worth ofdeals respectively. Together, they

    accounted for as much as 51% of the total

    M&A deal value during 2007 and more

    than the total announced value of M&A

    deals in 2006. Tata Steels acquisition of

    Corus for $ 12.2 billion and Vodafones

    majority stake in Hutchison Essar for

    $10.83 billion were the major deals in

    these sectors.

    The other sectors which have significantly

    contributed to M&A deal value in 2007 are

    Aluminum and Power & Energy.

    IT & ITeS leads the M&A volume

    proportion with 23.5% share of total

    number of M&A deals. Pharma,

    Healthcare & Biotech have the second

    highest share at 9.47%. Other significant

    contributors to the deal volume were

    Banking & Financial Services, Media,

    Entertainment & Publishing and FMCG,

    Food & Beverages sectors.

    The key sectors contributing to M&A in

    2007 are shown in Table 2 below.

    2.2 Multi Billion dollar M&A deals

    There were 7 billion dollar M&A deals in

    2007 compared to none in 2006. India Inc

    also witnessed a lesser number of low

    value deals as compared to previous

    years. The deals for which value was not

    disclosed were typically small sized deals.

    The largest deals of 2007 were Tata-

    Corus and Vodafone-Hutch deals which

    were completed in early 2007 making it

    the perfect start for a year of M&A

    transactions. Of the 7 billion dollar

    deals, 3 deals were in the metal sector, 2

    deals in Power & Energy and 1 deal each

    in Telecom and Breweries & Distilleriessectors. Together, these 7 billion dollar

    deals accounted for 67.47% of total M&A

    during 2007. A list of M&A deals with deal

    value of $ 1 Billion+ are listed in Table 3.

    2.3 Quarterly break-up of M&A deals

    Jan-Mar quarter witnessed the largest

    proportion of M&As in 2007 with $33.85

    billion worth of deals accounting for

    66.22% of total M&A deals during 2007.

    As can be seen in table 4 below, both

    Domestic and cross border deals declined

    (value & volume) during Oct-Dec quarter

    compared to their previous quarters. The

    graphs below present the quarterly

    movement of Cross-Border Deals (by

    value & volume) for European and North-

    American regions.

    2.4 Cross Border Deal AnalysisCross border deals increased significantly

    from 2006. There were 355 cross border

    deals worth US $ 48.26 bn this year as

    against 266 deals worth US $ 15.3 bn in

    2006.There has been a phenomenal

    growth in outbound and inbound deal

    value as well as volume. The value of

    inbound and outbound deals has

    increased by more than threefold in 2007.

    An analysis of cross-border deals reveals:

    Outbound deals (Indian business

    acquiring international companies) are

    more than double the number of inbound

    deals both in value and volume terms.

    The average values of inbound and

    outbound deals in 2007 are almost the

    same at $ 134 and $ 138 Mn compared to

    $ 71 Mn and $ 52 Mn in 2006.

    The largest proportion of outbound

    acquisitions in terms of value have been in

    Europe (52% of deal value), followed by

    North America (38% of deal value). In

    terms of Volume, Indian companies

    acquired more firms in North America (95

    deals) than in Europe (84 deals).

    Interestingly, of the $15.5 billion worth of

    inbound deals in 2007, European firms

    M&As in India stand at $13.84 billion

    (accounting for 89.27% of all inbound

    deals).

    In terms of inbound deal volume, Europe

    and North America formed 75.89% of total

    inbound deal volume. USA and UK were

    the mostactive cross border destinations

    for India Inc over 2007.

    Table 5 below presents comparative

    analysis of cross border transactions of

    Indian companies with USA and UK based

    companies. It can be observed that in

    case of Indo-US and Indo-UK deals there

    were more outbound deals (Indian

    companies acquiring US/UK companies)

    than inbound deals (UK/US companies

    acquiring Indian companies). This is a

    testimony to the confidence with which

    India Inc has marched ahead to extend its

    global foothold.

    Value wise PE Deal Break-up

    During 2004-05, foreign private equity

    primarily foicussed on Indias IT and

    outsourcing story. However, currently the

    opportunities are wider and in multiple

    sectors.

    The Real Estate & Infrastructure

    Management sector has witnessed

    continuous growth over the past two

    years. The number of investments in this

    sector has more than doubled in 2007 as

    compared to 2006. In terms of proportion

    of total PE investments, Real Estate and

    Infrastructure Management sector formed

    6.3% in 2006 and 35.54% in 2007.

    The initiative taken by the Government of

    India towards liberalizing the regulationsrelating to foreign direct investment in

    construction and realty projects, and

    creation of more Special Economic Zones,

    along with factors such as sustained high

    GDP, an upsurge in industrial activity and

    rapid urbanization have resulted in

    increased investment in the real estate

    sector especially from international

    Private equity institutions.

    3.2 Quarterly performance:

    PE investment in India witnessed an

    upward trend based on quarterly analysis.

    Oct Dec quarter witnessed the largest

    share of PE investment in 2007 with 120

    deals and an announced value of $7.29

    billion. The value of investment in Jan

    Mar quarter was comparatively lower at

    $2.98 billion and, even though the number

    of deals were as high as 112.

    3.3 PE Investment trend 2005 2007:

    The year 2007 saw bigger investments

    than previous years. There were 6 deals

    over $500Mn (3 of which were billion

    dollar deals) in 2007 compared to 1 in

    2006 and none in 2005. The proportion of

    PE investments below $50 Mn was as

    high as 83% during 2005.This reduced to

    71.5% in 2006 and further declined to

    59.5% in 2007. Deals valued between

    $100Mn - $499.9Mn accounted for 11.6%

    of total PE investments in 2007 compared

    to 3.31% and 0.81% in 2006 and 2005.

    In 2005 and 2006 majority of the PE

    investments was concentrated in IT &

    ITeS. In 2007 Technology companies

    were joined by Realty, Telecom, Banking

    & Financial services and Power & Energy

    sectors as favourite destination for PE

    investments.

    4. Outlook for 2008

    We had predicted 2007 to be a year of

    M&A juggernaut (and it proved to be one!)

    and we cannot say anything less about

    2008 as we expect it to be a year of

    continuum. The trend in 2007 of

    increasing M&A activity will be sustained

    with a continued focus on cross border

    deals. We are seeing India Inc plunge in

    with continued vigour into cross border

    M&A with a series of acquisitions ranging

    from less than $1 Mn to $13 billion, across

    a wide range of sectors as diverse as

    hotels, racing teams, steel mills, textiles,

    metals, entertainment etc

    The new and heightened deal activity is a

    sign of M&A becoming a key element of

    strategy for India Inc. There is strong

    growth in cross border deals, as India Inc

    is going with gusto across the world

    buying up companies. This is different

    from the state led acquisitions that China

    Inc is doing where the deals are big,

    strategic for China and comes with a

    significant element of push and supportfrom the Government. India Inc is going

    about international acquisitions on its own

    steam. Increasing corporate capex,

  • 8/8/2019 Tracker+ +2007

    6/77

    investment in public infrastructure and

    fiscal stimuli will provide the impetus to

    further drive the M&A engine for India Inc.

    The attractive profit margins of Indian

    Corporates will only attract more private

    equity and the India Shining story is

    expected to continue. We expect PE

    houses to focus more on sectors such as

    Real Estate and Infrastructure

    Management, Retail, Aviation, Telecom

    and NBFCs. The juggernaut is expected

    to roll on in 2008
