Sehr geehrte Leserin, sehr geehrter Leser,
nachfolgend finden Sie unsere aktuelle Zusammenfassung der bedeutendsten M&A-Transaktionen im Bereich der industriellen Fertigung im 1. Quartal
2015 im deutschsprachigen Raum und angrenzenden Ländern sowie in Großbritannien, Norwegen, Schweden, Türkei, Kanada und den USA. Die
Zusammenfassung basiert auf unserer kontinuierlichen Analyse der folgenden Branchen:

Antriebstechnik

Maschinen- und Anlagenbau

Automobil

Metallbe- und -verarbeitung

Elektrotechnik

Mess- und Regeltechnik

Energieerzeugung und -übertragung

Pumpen/Kompressoren/Fluidtechnik
Trotz der durchaus positiven Stimmung auf dem M&AMarkt und vielversprechenden Aussichten für das Jahr
2015, beobachteten wir im 1. Quartal dieses Jahres im Bereich der industriellen Fertigung eine signifikante Abschwächung der M&A-Aktivitäten: die Anzahl der abgeschlossenen und veröffentlichten Transaktionen ging in
der beobachteten Branche im Vergleich zur Vorjahresperiode um 24% zurück:
Insgesamt wurden in den beobachteten Regionen im 1. Quartal dieses Jahres 389
Transaktionen abgeschlossen, davon 41% in Nordamerika. Das Verhältnis von rein
inländischen zu grenzübergreifenden Transaktionen lag bei 52% zu 48%. Mehr als die
Hälfte der Transaktionen wurde von strategischen Investoren abgewickelt.
Von den 389 veröffentlichen Transaktionen sind bei 122 Deals die Unternehmenswerte bekannt. Der Median für das Transaktionsvolumen lag bei € 59 Mio.
Trotz der relativ großen Zahl an veröffentlichten Transaktionswerten, sind die aus
dieser Stichprobe abgeleiteten Bewertungsniveaus nicht repräsentativ, weil die dafür
erforderlichen Ertragskennzahlen der gekauften Unternehmen häufig nicht veröffentlicht wurden.
Die nebenstehende Tabelle zeigt die Bewertungsfaktoren in den beobachteten Regionen. Wie bereits erwähnt, sind die Werte
auf Grund der kleinen Stichprobe statistisch
nicht repräsentativ.
Auf dem europäischen Übernahmemarkt waren insbesondere Käufer aus Deutschland (45 Übernahmen) aktiv, gefolgt von UK (34 Übernahmen) und
Frankreich (19 Übernahmen). Amerikanische Investoren haben in Europa 18 Übernahmen getätigt, Asiatische 16 (davon 7 Übernahmen durch chinesische Käufer, 3 von Japanern, 2 von Südkoreanern, und jeweils 1 von Investoren aus Hong Kong, Indien, Taiwan und Malaysia). Das Verhältnis von
grenzüberschreitenden („Cross-border“) zu rein inländischen Transaktionen („Domestic“) betrug dabei 66% zu 34%.
Auch in Deutschland wurden im 1. Quartal 2015 im Bereich der industriellen Fertigung weniger Transaktionen abgeschlossen: mit insgesamt 43 abgewickelten Übernahmen verzeichnete der deutsche M&A-Markt im Bereich der industriellen Fertigung einen Rückgang von 22% im Vergleich zum Vorjahreszeitraum.
Bei 53% der analysierten Transaktionen in Deutschland kamen die Käufer aus der Industrie (im Vergleich zu 76% im Vorjahreszeitraum).
