Packaging Update: Second Quarter 2009Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC |
This quarter’s Packaging Update, produced by Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC (DCF), summarizes the most recent transactions within the packaging industry and provides a public market snapshot of a variety of packaging sectors.
This quarter’s highlights include:
- The decline in M&A deal value during the second quarter of 2009 improved significantly when compared to the first quarter. Deal value fell only 14.7% this quarter versus the decline of 73% in Q1 of 2009
- Despite the current economic environment, sector players focused on growth are viewing the marketplace with an opportunistic eye. While deal valuations remain low, many companies with strong balance sheets continue to pursue transactions and use this economic downturn to help position themselves for growth
- Active buyers in the packaging sector will likely continue to pursue smaller, bolt-on acquisitions. While credit markets are expected to remain somewhat frozen in the near future, many companies are expected to continue chasing bolt-on acquisitions to create value and strengthen their current portfolios
