HHL study: Private equity firms postpone exits – valuations and liquidity face pressure
The holding period for portfolio companies of private equity (PE) firms has continued to increase over the past twelve months. 70 percent of PE firms in Germany surveyed by management consultancy FTI-Andersch and the Center for Corporate Transactions and Private Equity (CCTPE) at HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management stated that they would have to postpone exits for the time being. Fifteen percent of these also assume that exits will take place significantly later. The reason: The current market situation is depressing valuations, meaning that many transactions are not coming to fruition under the current conditions.

Allensbach Study: Mechanical engineering companies anticipate loss of technological leadership / China offensive and migration of services continue to put pressure on business models
53 per cent of German machine and plant manufacturers assume that technological leadership will be taken over by foreign countries in the future or has already been taken over – primarily by competitors from China and the USA. Seven out of ten companies believe that they would be severely or very severely affected by this (70 per cent). Almost all mechanical engineering companies consider it likely that Chinese manufacturers will enter the European market (93 per cent). At the same time, almost one in three companies report financial disadvantages because maintenance and service are increasingly being taken over by third-party providers (29 per cent). These are the findings of a recent survey of board members and managing directors of German industrial companies conducted by the Allensbach Institute for Public Opinion Research on behalf of the management consultancy FTI-Andersch.

Value Creation in Transactions: Increasing the sales value of companies
ncreasing the sales proceeds is a key objective for entrepreneurs and business owners on the sell-side of a successful transaction. Although the sale price also depends to a certain extent on external factors, some of which are difficult to influence, targeted measures can make a significant contribution to increasing the value of the company from an investor's perspective. It is crucial that relevant value drivers are sustainably strengthened in order to ensure the company's long-term success. The following applies: the more precisely "suitable" investors are identified in advance, the more specifically relevant value drivers can be served.

Die Steigerung des Verkaufserlöses ist ein wesentliches Ziel für Unternehmer und Geschäftsinhaber auf der Verkaufsseite (Sell-Side) einer erfolgreichen Transaktion. Zwar hängt der Verkaufspreis anteilig auch von externen, teilweise wenig beeinflussbaren Faktoren ab – dennoch können gezielte Maßnahmen erheblich dazu beitragen, den Unternehmenswert aus Investorensicht zu steigern. Entscheidend ist dabei, dass relevante Werttreiber nachhaltig gestärkt werden, um den Unternehmenserfolg auch langfristig zu gewährleisten. Dabei gilt: Je genauer „passende“ Investoren vorab identifiziert werden, desto gezielter lassen sich relevante Werttreiber bedienen.
