EY Global IPO Trends 2016 3Q

Uncertainty suppressing IPO activity, but the pipeline is building A mostly steady third quarter in overall global IPO activity compared with 2Q16 masked very sharp regional differences. Asia-Pacific powered ahead, driven by receding concerns of a slowdown in the growth rate in Mainland China and a supportive regulatory environment, while US activity was subdued ahead of the presidential elections and activity in EMEIA declined in the wake of the UK Brexit vote.

announcement in J anuary that it would hold a referendum on European Union ( EU) membership in J une. A plethora of other geopolitical factors have added to the uncertainty, including the Middle East tension and the migrant crisis, as well as concerns of a slowdown in growth rate in Mainland C hina and uncertainty over US monetary policy. R arely, if ever, has there been a year with quite so many complex inter related external factors for decision ma ers to contend ith and ait upon for a de nitive outcome

At US$ 3 5 .4 b, global IPO proceeds in 3 Q 16 were up 16 % on 2Q 16 , while deal volume declined by 4 % to 25 2 IPOs. C ompared with 3 Q 15 , IPO activity levels were relatively strong, with proceeds up by 8 4 % and the number of deals up by 21% .

Some of the uncertainties are near- term, such as the N ovember US election, while others will be more protracted. C urrently, there is little clarity on hat form Brexit ill actually ta e or hen it ill ta e place and uncertainty is set to persist

n terms of regional comparisons sia aci c exchanges were the standout performers in 3 Q 16 , with a 13 8 % surge in proceeds to US$ 24 .2b on a 4 1% increase in deal numbers compared with the prior quarter. In contrast, EMEIA IPO proceeds slumped by 6 9 % to US$ 4 .4 b and deal volumes were do n by to s exchanges ran ed third by proceeds and second by deal numbers. In the US, capital raised rose slightly by 3 % to US$ 6 .4 b, but deal volumes declined by 3 % on levels to s he exchanges ran ed second by proceeds and third by deal numbers in 3 Q 16 .

gainst this bac drop it is perhaps unsurprising that many have decided to focus their energies on preparing their listing for 2017, deciding that it is better to be patient. T his is particularly the case given the availability of other forms of nance in developed mar ets ith private capital readily available an IPO is as much about branding and credibility as fundraising and exiting cautious and patient approach is understandable especially for unicorns, that have the interest of going public. e expect more unicorns ill list next year fueled by recent technology IPO performances and when conditions are more favorable.

his variable performance and the particularly ea start to 2016 means that year- to- date, global activity is still lagging behind levels lobally for the rst nine months of IPO proceeds of US$ 79 .4 b are 3 9 % lower than in the same period last year and deal volumes are down by 23 % to 704 IPOs from 9 13 in the same period last year. …

even w hen the f u nda m enta ls a re im p roving Uncertainty has succeeded in subduing IPO activity in the face of a growing list of supportive economic factors, including:

Politica l u ncerta inty tru m p s econom ic f u nda m enta ls … olitical uncertainty concerning Brexit and the elections rather than the events themselves, is causing private companies to delay their decisions on when to list. In addition, s are executed locally but investors are approached globally, so uncertainty spreads beyond the region where the IPO originates.

Commentary Uncertainty has hampered dealmaking throughout 2016. Although we have seen improving economic fundamentals, including reduced volatility and rising equity markets, the combination of a yet-to-be-determined US presidential race, the UK’s EU referendum and a raft of other geopolitical stresses have made 2016 exceptionally challenging for dealmakers and issuers. While 2016 will likely lag behind 2015 levels, overall the outlook for 2017 is positive.

At the same time, many businesses continue to weigh merger, trade sale and ac uisition options alongside private nance and as a route to value generation ith so many choices on the table it is unsurprising that numbers are do n in the rst nine months of compared ith the same period in 2015 .

“Our expectations for the IPO market this year were muted and nothing we saw in 3Q16 has changed that view. In a year clouded by unprecedented levels of uncertainty in terms of domestic and international politics, ongoing threats of an interest rate hike and periodically high levels of volatility, companies have by and large stayed away from public markets. With levels of private capital still at all-time highs and multitracking baked into corporate strategy, companies and financial sponsors are focused on getting set for 2017 when political and interest rate uncertainty are likely resolved by year-end and conditions will be supportive of doing a well-priced IPO.”

Commentary

• Greater China is the principal driver of

activity in the region, accounting for 50% of deals and 70% of proceeds in the Asia-Pacific region so far this year.

• Japan, South Korea and Australia are all seeing a healthy flow of companies coming to market.

• In the third quarter, five of the world's

ten largest IPOs were from Asia-Pacific.

“ Although new listings in Asia-Pacific are down year-on-year, in line with

the global trend, the region has been the world’s most active region through the first nine months of 2016, leading the way in both deal numbers and proceeds. Investor sentiment has been buoyed by the weaker-than-expected negative influence of Brexit and ample liquidity in emerging markets. With investor confidence seemingly un-dented by events elsewhere in the world, we expect a healthy flow of IPOs to continue through the remainder of the year.” Ringo Choi EY Asia-Pacific IPO Leader

Commentary • Pace of new listings in Mainland China accelerates as volatility subsides. • Strong pipeline of companies ready to list should lead to uptick in IPO activity in the fourth quarter.

“The Greater China IPO market recovered in 3Q16, with volume and proceeds up on both Mainland China exchanges and the HKEx, following a lull in the second quarter. The weaker-than-expected negative influence of Brexit and diminishing possibility of another rise in US interest rates have stabilized the capital markets. With the anticipated launch of the Shenzhen Hong Kong Stock Connect in mid-December, Greater China will remain the world’s most active market for IPOs in 2016.”

• Stock market reforms in both Mainland China and Hong Kong will stimulate flow of IPOs.

Commentary

Key trends • EMEIA IPOs are still outperforming the main market equity indices, which encourages investor sentiment. • The combination of a steady economic backdrop, accommodative monetary policy, high equity valuations and low volatility is supportive for higher levels of IPO activity in the medium-term. Investor confidence

• India IPO activity is set to remain strong, driven by high investor confidence and regulatory reforms.

“Political uncertainty concerning Brexit and the US elections, rather than the events themselves, is causing private companies to delay their decisions on when to list. In addition, IPOs are executed locally, but investors are approached globally, so uncertainty spreads beyond the region where the IPO originates. However, as the political situation becomes clearer, the mix of a steady economic backdrop, accommodative monetary policy, low interest rate environments, still high equity valuations and current low volatility levels are expected to lead to a rebound in IPO activity for the remainder of the year and 2017.”

• The resolution of political uncertainty due to the EU referendum will see IPO activity pick up on the back of reduced volatility, rising indices and strong aftermarket performance of new IPOs. • US and Asian investors’ interest will help drive pricing, making IPOs more attractive to business leaders and their backers.

• While 2017 looks set for an IPO resurgence, longer term it is possible that the triggering of Article 50 and the renegotiation of Britain’s trading relationships will drive volatility, which will impact IPO windows.

Financial sponsors continue to drive UK IPO market

Commentary “The unexpected EU referendum result quickly sent the markets and the pound into decline, resulting in many firms postponing their IPO plans. However, following the markets’ strong recovery and the added interest of US and Asian investors looking to take advantage of the weak pound, we now expect a number of firms to re-engage their IPO plans. With a number of very large IPOs rumored, we could see a resurgence of the UK IPO market in 2017, as firms look to take advantage of global investor interest in the UK market.” Scott McCubbin EY UK and Ireland IPO Leader
