Transcript of FLASH REPORT FEBRUARY 2020 - EdgePoint · 2/14/2020 · • The M&A market in 2019 declined for...
• The M&A market in 2019 declined for the third consecutive
year in terms of number of transactions (15,663 in 2019
from 17,649 in 2018) according to the IMAA Institute.
Transaction count in the Food and Beverage industry re-
flected this trend, declining from 317 to 283.
• Despite the Y/Y reduction in M&A activity, activity remains
very strong on a historical basis. M&A in the middle market
especially remains robust as well capitalized buyers (both
financial buyers and larger strategics) search for new, inno-
vative brands and broader product offerings.
• Consumers continue to be a key driver of economic growth.
With unemployment at 50-year lows, rising wage rates are
expected to help to spur household income and wealth,
driving consumer spending through 2020.
• Three things we are keeping our eyes on: (1) Multinationals
like Mondelez International are shuttering plants indefinite-
ly due to the coronavirus outbreak; (2) Whole milk category
growth (2.7% Y/Y in 2019 ) is a lone bright spot in an other-
wise struggling category; (3) Credit-card balances rising to a
record $930 billion in 4Q19, well above the previous peak
seen before the 2008 financial crisis, coinciding with a rise
in delinquency rates
