European private equity applies new strategy

June 9, 2010--Private equity has returned to the dealmaking fray in Europe this year. Buy-out activity in the region has trebled from the same period last year, according to Dealogic, but the deals look very different to those done before the financial crisis.

As well as being smaller, bankers say buy-out deals in the post-credit crisis world are likely to use much less debt, to be bought from another private equity owner and to be in a defensive sector, such as healthcare.

PAI Partners’ €500m ($602m) buy-out of Cerba European Lab is a good example of the new type of deals. It is a secondary buy-out in the healthcare sector and PAI is financing only half the deal with debt.
