Introduction
The drive to improve scale and profits combined with a highly fragmented market have resulted in continued M&A in the Transport and Logistics sector. The quarterly Financial Deal Insights series provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of this activity in this sector. It offers a unique insight into both deal activity, deal rationale and the market fundamentals driving the sector.
Scope
An assessment of recent M&A activity in the Transport and Logistics sector throughout the world. An evaluation of the trends both within the Transport and Logistics sector as a whole, as well as individual deals.
Highlights
Financial market trends during 2007, including the tightening of credit and the weakening of the US Dollar, bolstered the relative deal-making positions of strategic and foreign investors in the first quarter of 2008. As of April, 2008, there are concerns that the US economy is heading into or is in a recession.
This will only increase the number of players in the transportation business up for sale as a potential contraction in economic output will negatively impact demand for transportation & logistics products and services, as well as shippers' profits during the rest of 2008.
Therefore, the cost savings rationale for M&A deals, particularly by strategic investors, can only increase in the remainder of 2008; albeit with lower valuation multiples compared to those in 2007.
