Food & Beverage Update: Second Quarter 2008
Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC

This quarter’s Food & Beverage Update, produced by Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC (DCF), summarizes recent transactions, along with information on the most active buyers, current transaction valuation multiples and an overview of the public market’s perception of the industry. Highlights include:

  • In the F&B industry, the enterprise value to EBITDA transaction multiples increased from 11.3x in 2007 to 12.3x in the second quarter of 2008 driven by a number of large deals as strategic buyers pursued acquisitions to increase their growth profile.
  • One trend that has continued to gain momentum in the F&B industry is the growth in natural and organic products.
  • The primary factors behind higher food commodity costs include stronger demand for food and emerging markets, a weaker dollar, weather-related production problems in some areas of the world, and the increased use of some food commodities, such as corn, for bioenergy uses.
