Historical Perspective on Private Equity

The private equity industry has grown dramatically over the last 30 years and now has a major impact on all sectors of the economy.

(e.g. Blackstone Group ($15.6B) Texas Pacific Group ($14.3B) Permira Advisers ($14.1B))

$32bn deal for HCA announced; largest private equity deal in history “Thirty years ago, the private equity industry was not really an industry at all. Today, private equity is mainstream, sophisticated and huge. It accounted for about $200bn worth of deals in 2005, and the vast majority of that sum was spent on buy-outs of established companies”

Private Equity in the Press

“Increasing emphasis lies on improvements in the fundamental performance [ through] motivation of employees and managers of the acquired business [ and] direct involvement of the acquiring buy-out group in the transaction. Importantly, some of these improvements persist even after the buy-out group re-sells the business.”

  • The Financial Times

“Private-equity firms now possess more than $2 trillion in buying power. This year they have bought some of the world’s best-known brands, worth more than $347 billion, twice last year’s pace and roughly equal to the gross domestic product of Belgium. Private-equity firms spent $12.3 billion for Univision last month; $22 billion for Kinder Morgan in May; as much as $14 billion for General Motors’ finance unit, G.M.A.C., in April; and $17.4 billion for Albertsons, the grocery chain, in January.”

  • The New York Times

“Private money is also playing a growing role in mergers and acquisitions, an area long dominated by companies. So far this year, buyout funds have been involved in 24% of mergers and acquisitions by value, according to Thomson Financial, up from the 14% in 1988, the peak of the previous buyout boom.”

Purpose of Financing

Increasing leverage improves returns

Provide a cushion in the instance that things go wrong

Capital structure must fit company's needs

Working capital

Capex

Seasonality

Add-on acquisitions

Financing must be "doable" in current market

Interest rate pricing

Bond market

Amortization schedule Maximize Returns While Minimizing Risk Optimize Financing Given Market Conditions and Company Situation

Private equity firms use the equity that they have raised from limited partners along with debt (collateralized by the companies they purchase) to buy portfolio companies.
