EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Food and Beverage Industry Sees Robust
M&A Activity and Strong Equity Returns in 2015
Growth of natural, organic,
and healthier products
and attractiveness of
private-label brands were
major drivers of dealmaking activity.
Across most industries, 2015 was a
year of robust M&A activity and
lackluster equity returns. In terms of
M&A, the food and beverage industry
fit this pattern. From headlinegrabbing mega-mergers to smaller,
more targeted acquisitions, 2015 saw
a steady stream of acquisitions that
will continue to reshape the food and
beverage industry for years to come.
In terms of public equity performance,
however, the industry was a bit of a
welcome outlier in 2015, with most
food and beverage segments
significantly outperforming the
broader market.
In this issue of Food For Thought, we
examine the trends that shaped dealmaking activity in the food and
beverage industry in 2015 and analyze
equity performance in various
segments of the industry. We also
address some of the biggest questions
facing the industry in 2016.
Strategic Acquirers Continue to
Dominate M&A Landscape
M&A activity in the food and
beverage industry in 2015 continued
to be shaped overwhelmingly by
highly strategic acquisitions. From
2013 to 2015, strategic acquirers
have accounted for roughly 87%
1
of all completed food and
beverage acquisitions.
The rationales for these strategic
transactions ran the gamut in 2015. In
many instances, the acquirer was
looking to enter into a new category or
platform. This was the case with
Smucker’s $6 billion acquisition of Big
Heart Pet Brands in March, a
transaction for which William Blair
served as buy-side advisor. Last year
also saw many high-profile
consolidation and scale plays, such as
the Kraft-Heinz merger or the AB
InBev-SABMiller merger. Other times,
the transactions were driven by a
company’s focus on divesting noncore
assets or rationalizing its portfolio,
such as ConAgra Foods selling its
private-label business.
This robust demand from strategic
acquirers resulted in strong valuations
across the industry. For announced
food acquisitions, the average EBITDA
multiple increased from 13.0x in 2014
to 13.5x in 2015. In the beverage
industry, the average EBITDA
multiple increased from 11.8x in
2014 to 13.8x in 2015.
Public investors reacted relatively
enthusiastically to food and beverage
transactions in 2015. Across all
industries in 2015, the acquiring
company’s share price increased an
average of 1% on the day following a
deal announcement. In food and
beverage, however, the average dayafter jump was 2.2% Clearly, investors
continue to reward companies for
pursuing scale and inorganic growth
opportunities through M&A.
Food and Beverage M&A by Acquirer Type (2013-2015)
Over the past three years, M&A activity in the food and beverage industry has
been dominated by strategic acquirers. This trend continued in 2015 with a wave
of consolidation and divestitures, as well as acquisitions driven by the macro
trends of natural, organic, and healthier foods and private-label.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Better-For-You and Private-Label
Continue as Major M&A Drivers
SunOpta’s $450 million acquisition of
Sunrise Growers in October
represented two of the most powerful
trends shaping the food retail
industry: consumers’ growing demand
for organic, natural, and other
healthier foods and the continued
attractiveness of private-label brands.
William Blair served as sell-side
advisor to Sunrise Growers, which is
the leading processor of conventional
and organic frozen fruit in the United
States and serves retail private-label
and foodservice customers.
In our July issue of Food For Thought,
we discussed how large CPG
companies were increasingly using
M&A to add high-quality, healthoriented brands to their portfolios.
This trend continued throughout the
second half of 2015, headlined by
Pinnacle Foods’ $975 million
acquisition of Boulder Brands. William
Blair served as sell-side advisor to
Boulder Brands on the transaction,
which was announced in November.
Boulder Brands’ portfolio of healthfocused brands includes Glutino, Udi's
Gluten Free, Earth Balance, EVOL, and
Smart Balance. Other transactions
involving better-for-you brands in the
second half of 2015 include
WhiteWave’s acquisitions of Vega and
Wallaby Yogurt.
In the private-label space, Treehouse
Foods’ $2.7 billion acquisition of
ConAgra’s private-label business will
make Treehouse the largest producer
of store-branded grocery items. While
the growth of the private-label
industry has slowed somewhat as
economic conditions have improved
over the past several years, privatelabel still represents a vastly
important part of the CPG industry.
Private-label brands have shifted from
being a “cheap alternative” to being a
profit driver and point of
differentiation for retailers.
Food and Beverage
Equities Outperform
Concerns about China’s slowing
growth, depressed oil prices,
geopolitical unrest, and heightened
volatility were significant headwinds
to equity markets in 2015. For the
year, the S&P 500 was down 0.7%.
Amid this challenging environment,
the food and beverage industry
delivered relatively strong
performance for investors across most
segments. According to indices
created by FactSet, the food
production (+5.7%), food ingredients
(+12.6%), and beverage (+7.4%)
indices all significantly outperformed
the broader market and saw P/E
multiple expansion during the year.
The performance of the food retail
index (-0.7%), however, mirrored the
broader market.
continue to be a major driver of sales
growth and acquisitions for several
years to come. With private label,
there may be some slowdown in M&A
activity in 2016 as Treehouse and
other major consolidators focus on
absorbing their recent acquisitions.

trends in the food and beverage
industry mean for your company,

Trends to Watch in 2016
Food retail will be one of the more
interesting segments to watch in 2016.
Over the past 24 months, there has
been a high degree of restructuring in
the form of mergers, divestitures, and
market rationalization. It will be
interesting to see how grocery chains
adapt their strategies in response to
this new landscape. We expect to see
continued market rationalization in
2016, as chains focus more on regional
density and look to exit markets
where they don’t have a No. 1 or No. 2
market position. In the natural and
organic segment, Whole Foods’ launch
of its 365 smaller-store concept will
be notable as they attempt to target
customers that frequent Sprouts
Farmers Market, The Fresh Market,
Natural Grocers, and Trader Joe’s.
Another segment worth watching in
2016 is foodservice. While the
segment has been challenged over the
past decade, lower gas prices could be
a catalyst for growth for restaurants.
In terms of the macro M&A trends
described above, we believe that
natural and healthier foods will

MARKET UPDATE AND ANALYSIS
Food Acquirers See Larger First-Day Bump in 2015
Across all industries over the past four years, public investors have been greeting news of acquisitions warmly, based
on stock performance the day after a deal was announced. In 2015, acquirers in the food industry saw a significantly
higher first-day bump than the broader market (+2.2%).

Strategic Demand Provides Continued Support for Strong M&A Multiples (Average EV/EBITDA Multiples)
Strategic acquirers were extremely active in the food and beverage industry in 2015, whether looking to add scale
through consolidation and to add new on-trend, high-growth categories and platforms. This strategic demand
resulted in strong valuations across the industry.
