We think that it may be interesting to analyse M&A activity before and after the advent of Covid-19, for this reason the report published by Datasite, the global leading provider of Saas services for the M&A sector, has been taken as a reference. Indeed, Datasite in partnership with Mergermarket, a business development tool designed specifically for the M&A sector, has recently published the Deal Drivers<\/strong> report regarding the first quarter of 2021. The report examines local market activity worldwide, including very useful information about M&A (mergers and acquisitions) trends, top bidders, future challenges, and sector-specific information.<\/p>\n

After a volatile 2020, characterized by a sudden decline in deals immediately following the first wave of Covid-19 and the successive lockdowns, the market has seen a strong rebound<\/strong> as dealmakers adapted. About this, a set of figures regarding M&A activity for the first three months of 2021 were published by the EMEA region.<\/p>\n

After a difficult 2020, M&A activity<\/strong> in Italy, Spain, and Portugal showed strong recovery, with deal value exhibiting a double-digit<\/strong> growth despite the decrease in volumes. Indeed, Deal Drivers has analysed M&A trends in the first quarter of 2021 and has reported a deal value in Italy, Spain, and Portugal equal to 36.3 <\/strong>\u20ac<\/strong> billion<\/strong>, a 28% quarter-on-quarter and a 99% year-on-year rise. For what concerns volumes, 248 deals <\/strong>were concluded, showing a 34% drop on the previous quarter and a 7% drop on the previous year.<\/p>\n

Deal value for the region has been boosted by flourishing activity in the TMT<\/strong> (technology, media, and telecom) sector: year on year, total TMT deal value increased from 1.4 to 9.7 \u20ac billion<\/strong>. The largest TMT deal in the quarter was the merger of Nexi<\/strong>, a Milan-based payments group, with rival SIA<\/strong> to form one of the largest fintech group in Europe. The 4.8 \u20ac billion<\/strong> deal is the latest example of merger in European payments processing, where size has become increasingly important to manage rising customer demand. The second-largest sector by value was energy & utilities<\/strong>, which saw a year-on-year increase of 227%, with deal value coming in at 7.3 \u20ac billion<\/strong>. The financial services sector ranked as the third largest by deal value, where in the largest deal of the quarter the Italian Treasury<\/strong> made a 4.3 \u20ac billion acquisition of SACE<\/strong>, an export agency, from Cassa depositi e Prestiti, the National Promotional Institution.<\/p>\n

As it is written in the aforementioned report: \u201clooking ahead, dealmakers in Italy will hope that easing pandemic restrictions and upbeat forecasts for economic growth will sustain deal activity and the M&A market will be able to continue building<\/strong> on momentum from the first quarter\u201d. Especially, Italy is projected to see 4.2% GDP<\/strong> growth in 2021, while Italy\u2019s FTSE Mib<\/strong> is up 10.18% for the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
