PERSPECTIVES ON RECENT EUROPEAN CONSUMER M&A AND OUTLOOK
CONSUMER AND RETAIL
INDUSTRY UPDATE │ JANUARY 2016
SECTOR SPOTLIGHT: INFANT & JUVENILE

SECTOR SPOTLIGHT: INFANT & JUVENILEEUROEPAN SECTOR DEALFLOW AND VALUATIONS
2015 was a strong year for European consumer sector M& activity with deals totalling nearly €150bn (some 225transactions greater than €50m EV). Continued economic recovery post recession and more positive GDPoutlooks have provided investors with increased confidence.
We are seeing good businesses trade for very attractive multiples. Valuations are being driven by:
Increasing participation from strategics (especially those from the US).
Continued pent up demand from Private Equity. Estimates suggest that there remains record levels of drypowder to be invested in Europe by Private Equity houses.
High availability of debt, at attractive margins. Traditional senior lenders are being put under increasingpressure from alternative debt funds, with now well over 50 individual debt funds targeting the UK mid-market alone.
On the flip side, there have been many instances where poorer business have failed to find a buyer (at anyreasonable price). In an environment when there is increasing pressure to invest from Private Equity, one mightfind this surprising, but it is perhaps indicative of how fast the sector is evolving and the widening gap betweenbuyer and seller expectations.
2016 is off to a strong start, with a number of well know European mid market consumer businesses in the marketalready. With GDP forecasts increasingly strong across Europe (especially in the UK), many investors feel that thenext few years should be a helpful backdrop for investing in the sector.
The European consumer space is evolving quickly, and the best businesses are those which look forward and areable to embrace change, rather than trying to fight it. Invariably this requires significant investment.
Below are some of the key themes that we are seeing across the sector. We have seen these at play acrossmany of the sub-sectors within consumer, and the businesses that we have worked with over recent yearsprovide us first hand knowledge and insight. We would be delighted to discuss these with you further, at yourconvenience.
The polarisation of the market – focus on premium or discount, with the middle ground becomingincreasingly squeezed
The increased importance of the “grey market”. An ageing population across Europe (and one which isincreasingly tech-savvy) has prompted many companies to target this growing segment. Recent changesto the pensions regime in the UK has also given retirees access to additional capital
In retail specifically, the incessant move to “omni-channel” models. The customer wants to browse,purchase and return items in the manner that suits them, real-time. This is making logistics far more complex.The customer journey (from awareness to purchase) has evolved beyond recognition
A move to becoming more healthy – whether it be GFY foods or Apps to track your daily calorie burn. Givenrising levels of obesity, this is a theme that will become increasingly prevalent
Know your customer! Get to know them inside out, and interact with them regularly. We have seen manyinstances where the ability to directly market to the customer database can return huge dividends. But, getit wrong, and you risk doing more harm than good
For operators with a physical store estate, the increasing focus on rising fixed costs (particularly in the majorcities) and reducing store numbers. Recent studies show that a target population can be served effectivelywith a far smaller store portfolio than previously believed if part of an effective multi-channel set up. As aresult, many more mature retailers are finding they have considerable excess space.
Internationalisation – with growth increasingly harder to come by in domestic markets, many businesses arelooking to the US for expansion. Take the likes of Caffè Nero, Carluccio’s, Fat Face and YO! Sushi – all haverecently successfully expanded to the US. Make it there, and you make it big!, but operators realise that theiroffers need to be tailored accordingly – the customers are very different!
