PwC MoneyTreeTM India Report – Q1 ’15 3

1. Overview

A promising year The first quarter of 2015 started on a steady note, attracting 2.8 billion USD across 130 deals. Although lower than Q4’14 levels (4.4 billion USD), it was still 15% higher than the prior period (Q1 2014).

Banking, financial services & insurance (BFSI) was the most active sector, attracting 891 million USD in investments, which included two large deals, a 260-million USD investment in microfinance player Bandhan Finance and a 100-million-USD investment in Ujjivan Finance. The information technology (IT) & IT-enabled services (IT&ITeS) sector was relatively quiet at 836 million USD with no significant e-commerce investment.

While the fundamentals appear to be getting better, with declining inflation, lower interest rates and a growing GDP, overall investor sentiment seems to be waning compared to six to nine months ago.

While one school of thought is that rhetoric is high compared to actual on-the-ground action, the other line of thinking is that investors are getting impatient too quickly and that one needs to wait to see words translate into action.

The Budget was considered by some “not bold enough” and with the Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT), the foreign investor tax quandary seems to have only taken another twist.

Overall, while the appetite to invest is there, market sentiment seems to swing all too quickly from one end to the other. One hopes the next two quarters will show a definite direction in which way investors are swaying.

Total equity investments in PE-backed companies

The first quarter of 2015 saw 130 private equity deals worth 2.77 billion USD, and was the best performing first quarter since 2011.

Despite a 10% drop in volume in Q1 ’15, the value surged by 15% as compared to the same period in 2014, which saw 144 deals worth 2.42 billion USD. But this is still a 37% drop in terms of value as compared to the previous quarter’s 4.39 billion USD in 117 deals.

This quarter, the BFSI sector displaced the IT & IT-enabled services sector from its top slot, attracting 891 million USD in 14 deals, up 83% from the previous quarter and over eight times from the same period last year.

The IT & ITeS sector attracted investment of 836 million USD in 71 deals this quarter, an almost 68% drop from the previous quarter’s 2.65 billion USD.

Late-stage investments once again outperformed growth investments, receiving 1.26 billion USD whereas growth investments saw 704 million USD.

Bangalore made a comeback to the top slot with regard t0 PE investments—both by value and volume of deals—this quarter, seeing 715 million USD invested in 35 deals.

PwC MoneyTreeTM India Report – Q1 ’15 5

Investments by industry Q1 ’14, Q4 ’14 and Q1 ’15

The BFSI sector led the rally of investments this quarter by bumping IT & ITeS to the second slot, attracting 891 million USD in 14 deals, up 83% from the previous quarter and over eight times from the same period last year. In the previous quarter, 488 million USD was invested in this sector from 10 deals while the same period last year saw just 107 million USD in 11 deals. This year, the rally was mainly led by the 260-million- and 100-million-USD investments in microfinance players, Bandhan Finance and Ujjivan Finance, respectively. Coming in a close second, the IT & ITeS sector attracted 836 million USD investment in 71 deals, almost a 68% drop from the previous quarter’s 2.65 billion USD and a 14% drop from last year’s performance of 969 million USD. Healthcare & life sciences was again back in limelight with 392 million USD worth of investments in just nine deals, an almost four-time surge as compared to the previous quarter and the same period last year (110 million and 100 million USD, respectively).

The energy sector has witnessed deals worth 207 million USD, down 57% from the previous quarter’s 481 million USD, but more than double as compared to the first quarter of 2014. The manufacturing sector improved considerably, with 147 million USD worth of investments in nine deals, a growth of almost three times as compared to the previous quarter’s 59 million USD and up 15% as compared to 128 million USD worth investment of the first quarter of last year.

Analysis of private equity investments

PwC MoneyTreeTM India Report – Q1 ’15 6

This quarter saw a decline in the total investment in the IT&ITeS space as compared to the previous quarter. However, overall value remained higher than most quarters. As has been the trend over the past year, investments were dominated by the e-commerce companies, with ShopClues, Freecharge, CarDekho and PolicyBazaar leading the pack. Among e-commerce companies, demand for funding from early-stage enterprises is likely to be strong in the coming year. These companies offer a wide variety of innovative products and are aided by sustainable business. Additionally, robust profitability models could bring huge opportunity for returns for PE firms.

Sandeep Ladda Technology Sector Leader, PwC India

The healthcare sector saw a higher-than-average deal size of 43.5 million USD in the quarter compared to 10 million USD in the previous quarter and 7.14 million USD in the same quarter a year ago. Three of the leading healthcare chains underwent transactions for fresh equity infusions and secondary transactions in order to provide exits to existing investors during this quarter. Some of the leading diagnostic and single-speciality hospitals are planning IPOs in the coming months which will allow retail investors to enter the fray.

Rana Mehta Healthcare Leader, PwC India

The deals trends are quite remarkable and reflective of the change in the underlying mood of the economy. With more positive energy and enthusiasm, expectations of growth have also seen an uptick and investors are returning strongly to the lead sectors such as financial services and IT&ITeS. It is clear that there is a shortage of long-term capital and investment in many sectors in India and for the growth potential to be converted to reality over the next decade, such investments need to be brought in now.

3. Analysis of PE exits

Total PE exits

As compared to the same period last year, exit activity for the quarter was three times higher, at 1.14 billion USD in 40 deals against 470 million USD of exit value (27 deals) in Q1 ’14, but marginally lower than the previous quarter’s 1.17 billion USD in 39 deals.

Overall, exit activities remain sluggish and the trend is unlikely to change anytime soon unless big secondary sales happen.

The BFSI sector has outshone others with 472 million USD worth of exits in seven deals while the IT & ITeS sector has seen exits worth 232 million USD.

Almost 50% of total exits happened through strategic deals valued at 584 million USD across 12 deals.

5. Sector focus IT & ITeS sectorSector overview Technology has always been a rapidly changing industry, and is presently at the cusp of yet another major transformation. Mobile technology, analytics, cloud computing and wearables have emerged as new forms of technology, and several traditional companies have started to add capabilities in these areas in order to cater to growing customer demand.

India continues to consolidate its position as the global hub for the IT&ITeS industry, by developing capabilities around traditional and emerging markets, expanding delivery capabilities and increasing focus on high value services for product development and technology incubation. The new government's focus on technology-enabled growth through the ‘Digital India’ and ‘Make in India’ campaigns has significantly boosted overall market prospects and investor sentiment. In 2014, there was significant investor interest in the technology sector and growth was driven in part by technology-enabled business models. Growth was strong across the software, services and hardware segments.

Growing demand for IT from the small- and medium-sized businesses (SMB) segment, especially in emerging markets, also fuelled growth. There are strong market opportunities driven by vendor consolidation, infrastructure modernization and rationalization of operations. Enabling digital transformation for clients is serving as a further value addition for companies in the IT&ITeS sector. Companies are looking to build capabilities in emerging technologies in cloud applications, big data, mobility, analytics, Interent of Things and robotics. Apart from Internet start-ups and e-commerce, niche areas around software-as-a-service, enterprise solutions and mobility also show strong growth opportunities.

The largest pie of PE funding in 2014 was attributable to the e-commerce sector. E-commerce is driving rapid growth of the domestic IT-BPM (business process management) industry and attracting unprecedented levels of global interest and funding. The sector in India has grown by 34% (CAGR) since 2009 to reach 16.4 billion USD in 2014. It is expected to be in the range of 22 billion USD in 2015. Apart from companies in e-tail and marketplaces, the focus is also on ancillary service providers—companies involved in support functions ranging from delivery, to logistics and payments. In 2014, newer online business segments such as classifieds, real estate, grocery and healthcare were also launched.

From an investment perspective, the e-commerce market is a minority stake market, with maximum traction in early-stage deals. Yet, companies such as Flipkart, Snapdeal and BigBasket have raised multiple rounds of funding and this scenario is likely to continue in the coming year.

These trends appear persistent into the new year based on initial activity in the deal market, with further growth expected in e-commerce segments, both mainstream and niche, and horizontal software subsectors (e.g., SaaS, HR, data and analytics, etc.).

But this quarter proved to be an aberration as the IT&ITeS sector growth declined by 68% against the last quarter while total PE investment declined by only 37%.
