Global M&A Volume
Global M&A was robust in 2014, hitting two noteworthy post-crisis high-water marks: total global volume reached US$3.5 trillion, and cross-border volume reached US$1.38 trillion.
Cross-border deals announced in 2014 included some of the year’s largest, including many above US$10 billion and a number of real blockbusters.
“Megadeals” continued to make a comeback, with more than 90 deals over US$5 billion announced in 2014.
Drivers of the robust activity included strong corporate earnings, large corporate cash balances in search of yield, continued availability of highly attractive financing to well-capitalized borrowers, and generally high stock prices, as well as a focus on industry consolidation in a number of sectors and a thirst for technology, natural resources, and brands in growing economies.
All figures are inflation-adjusted to 2014 dollars. Data in this report do not include spin-offs announced in 2014 that have not been completed.

After a robust year of domestic and cross-border M&A, China’s share of global M&A almost reached the percentage of its share of world GDP.
Japanese GDP decreased by 4%, the only region to experience recession in 2014, while Japan’s share of global M&A decreased by 36%, in each case compared to 2013.

2010 – 2014 Domestic M&A in BRIC Countries
Brazil
Russia
India
China
Inbound M&A in the BRIC countries was relatively flat from Q3 to Q4 2014.
Notably, inbound M&A into Russia reached its lowest point since 2010, as increasing tensions over Ukraine, the decline of oil prices, and the collapse of the ruble discouraged both cross-border and domestic deal-making.
Chinese domestic M&A skyrocketed in 2014, with three deals above US$10 billion (compared to none in 2013). Chinese domestic M&A volume exceeded US$100 billion in 2014, far outpacing the other BRIC economies.

All figures are inflation-adjusted to 2014 dollars.
Global M&A volume peaked in Q2 2014, totaling more than $1 trillion in deal-making for the quarter on the back of strong M&A environments in the North American, European and Asian-Pacific regions. Annual global M&A volume was $3.5 trillion.
Japanese deal-making missed out on 2014’s M&A boom, with 2014 volumes actually falling compared to 2013.
Europe and Asian-Pacific ended 2014 approximately equal in deal volume, as Chinese M&A continues to come into its own.

Distressed Deals: 1988 – 2014
Source: Thomson
All figures are inflation-adjusted to 2014 dollars. Distressed transactions include those in which the target entity is undergoing restructuring or has reduced the debt on its balance sheet through a bankruptcy sale, a tender offer or an exchange offer for existing debt securities, or a loan modification. An entity is considered to be undergoing restructuring if it has publicly confirmed retention of a restructuring advisor, plans to restructure its debt, has filed for bankruptcy or has defaulted on its debt, has received an S&P or Moody’s rating of CCC+/Caa1 or below before or in reaction to the announcement of a transaction, or its credit facility or debt securities carry a yield of 1,000 bps above that of U.S. Treasuries.

Global M&A* Cross-Border M&A
*Includes both domestic and cross-border transactions.
The Energy & Power sector continued to lead overall deal volume in 2014, but Healthcare dominated cross-border M&A activity, in part spurred by large inversion deals between American and European pharmaceutical companies.
Cross-border M&A activity was up significantly across sectors in 2014, with seven of 12 sectors experiencing M&A volume greater than US$100 billion, compared to just one sector (Energy & Power) in 2013.
The Media/Entertainment sector had a strong year globally with more than US$300 billion in announced deals, including the two largest transactions of 2014.
