Q4 2017

M&A activity has experienced a slight slowdown in 4Q 2017 from a an deal volume perspective, but has increased in in announced aggregate value Q-o-Q from 3Q 2017

The TMT sector’s M&A growth was driven by large transaction announcements − The Walt Disney Company’s

announced acquisition of Twenty-First Century Fox on December 14, 2017 for $70.1 billion

− Broadcom Limited’s announced acquisition of QUALCOMM Incorporated on November 6, 2017 at an enterprise value of $89.9 billion

Deal volume was slightly lower than 4Q 2016 and slightly lower when compared to the previous quarter

The average FYR 2017 deal multiple for middle market transactions edged higher, while the large transaction average multiple decreased when compared to 2016 − Both averages still remain over

10.0x Strategic buyers continue to

aggressively pursue transactions as a means for growth

Financial buyers have capital to deploy

Technology, Media, & Telecom I Industry Spotlight

Q4 2017

U.S. Private Equity deal flow was down during the fourth quarter of 2017 on both a volume and deal value basis

Several factors may be fueling the reluctance to complete deals, with two of the biggest centering on price and quality

− Pricing pressures persist with median deal multiples remaining above 10.0x, and the number of viable targets is likely lower than normal following the record levels in 2015 and 2016 on both the strategic and PE sides

− Low yields and low returns on cash holdings may increase the pressure firms feel who want committed capital put to work

Technology, Media, and Telecom capital invested in 4Q 2017 continued to be driven by large and middle market deals, including:

− Thoma Bravo’s $1.4 billion go-private acquisition of Barracuda Networks, Inc.

− Siris Capital Group’s $1.0 billion acquisition of IntraLinks Holdings, Inc.
