Once again, the Clearwater International Multiples Heatmap reveals that average entry multiples broke new records in Q3, on the back of a still-buoyant M&A market.

 


Deal-makers shrugged off concerns about inflation, supply chain constraints and rising Covid-19 cases to propel European PE activity to near-record highs.

Looking solely at deals announced in Q3, the average multiple paid in PE-backed deals jumped to 12.4x, versus 11.8x in Q2.

To help us round up the main highlights of the report, Unquote editor Greg Gille spoke to Marcus Archer, managing partner and head of private equity at Clearwater International, while Unquote reporter Harriet Matthews interviewed David Cannon, managing director of KeyBanc Capital Markets, to discuss how US buyers have been fuelling Europe's red-hot M&A. If that wasn't enough, Clearwater partners Per Surland and Nathaniel Cooper spoke to us to share their thoughts on pricing trends for TMT assets.
