Global M&A Volume: 1997 2015

Global M&A reached an all-time high in 2015, with record volume of almost US$5 trillion, beating
2007s prior (inflation adjusted) record of US$4.7 trillion.
2015 accounted for the highest cross-border deal volume (US$1.6 trillion) since the financial crisis,
with cross-border deals announced in 2015 accounting for four out of the 10 largest deals of the year
(Pfizers acquisition of Allergan, AB InBevs acquisition of SABMiller, Royal Dutch Shells acquisition
of BG Group, and Teva Pharmaceuticals acquisition of Allergans generic drug business).
Megadeals dominated the deal landscape in 2015, with six deals over US$50 billion and 152 deals
over US$5 billion.
Drivers of the robust activity included a number of financial factors, such as strong corporate
earnings, large corporate cash balances in search of yield, continued availability of attractive debt
financing to well-capitalized borrowers, and still relatively high stock prices, as well as business factors
including industry consolidation in a number of sectors and a thirst for technology and brands in
growing economies.

M&A Volume by Targets Region

U.S. targets accounted for half of global M&A volume in 2015, 11% higher than its recent historical
percentage, with U.S. participation in all but two of the 10 largest deals of 2015.
European M&A volume grew in 2015, although European M&A volume as a percentage of global M&A
volume fell from 25% in 2014 to 19%, due in large part to the growth in U.S. and Chinese deal activity
during the same period.
Chinas share of global M&A volume continued to grow to 17% in 2015, up 34% from 2014 and
approximately 85% above its recent historical percentage.

M&A in BRIC Countries: 2015

Chinese domestic M&A expanded to historic levels in 2015, while Russia, Brazil and India
continued to see lower relative levels of domestic deal activity.
Notably, inbound M&A into Russia made a strong recovery in 2015 after experiencing record
lows following the economic and political uncertainty of 2014. The growth in inbound
investment continued to focus on oil and gas assets.
Brazil also experienced a sharp increase in inbound M&A in 2015, with major inbound
acquisitions across a variety of industries, including telecommunications, consumer goods,
healthcare, and transportation and shipping.

Trends in M&A Volume by

Targets Region: 2011 2015
Global M&A volume peaked in Q4 2015, totaling more than US$1.5 trillion in deal-making for the
quarter on the back of a robust M&A environment in the North American region and upward trends
across the world. Annual global M&A volume was almost US$5 trillion.
Although Japanese deal volumes continue to lag significantly behind other regions, Japanese dealmaking experienced its best quarter in recent history, with quarterly M&A volume at US$53 billion,
up almost 250% from Q3.
Bolstered by the growth of Chinese deal-making, the Asian-Pacific (ex-Japan) region continued its
recent trend of outpacing European deal volumes, ending 2015 with US$401 billion in quarterly M&A
volume, compared to US$292 billion for Europe.
