In the last few years, deal landscapes have been changing. Offensive and aggressive bid competition is pushing for faster and deeper due diligence. In this new climate, it will be harder than ever to separate clear signals on performance from noise. Some companies will look entirely different, having restructured to survive economic disruption.
Investors who look beyond traditional commercial and financial due diligence methods are likely to make the best capital allocation decisions. And sellers who understand how they can improve performance and build a stronger equity story will achieve the best returns. We have seen increasing differentiation in returns between private equity (PE) funds using typical due diligence procedures and what best-in-class PE funds earn. We expect value creation to put even more distance between top performers and the "rest of the pack”.
Our value creation team deploys a powerful combination of hypothesis-led thinking with advanced data analytics. Together with our deep sector knowledge and functional expertise, this enables us to provide you with a unique set of insights around a deal. It means we can rapidly unlock revenue, cost, cash and capital value, and demonstrate clear EBITDA/EV impact.
