Private equity pauses deals to triage investments

Private equity pauses deals to triage investments

The impact of Donald Trump’s tariffs on private equity groups has been significant, leading to a pause in dealmaking as firms focus on managing their existing portfolio companies. This marks a stark reversal of earlier expectations for a boom in activity under the new administration.

A top buyout executive at a US firm highlighted the economic uncertainty that has led to deals being put on hold, stating that businesses have become too difficult to value. The fear of an impending recession has caused many in the industry to adopt a more risk-averse approach.

The industry had initially anticipated a surge in mergers and acquisitions following the Trump presidency, as higher interest rates had previously forced executives to delay sale plans. However, the recent tariff announcements have prompted a shift in priorities, with many firms choosing to wait for the situation to stabilize before moving forward with new deals.

While some late-stage deals have been completed in recent weeks, such as Silver Lake’s acquisition of chip designer Altera and KKR’s purchase of E45 moisturizer maker Karo Healthcare, others have been postponed. For example, British firm 3i’s £600 million auction of portfolio company Audley Travel was paused, and deadlines for final bids for Boeing’s navigation unit have been repeatedly pushed back.

Dealmakers are closely monitoring the progress of Reckitt’s multibillion-dollar carve-out of its homecare brands portfolio, as well as assessing the potential impact of tariffs on their portfolios. Private equity firms are exploring ways to mitigate the effects of tariffs, such as rerouting supply chains to minimize exposure.

In light of investor resistance to net asset value financing, firms have turned to continuation vehicles as a means of generating cash from assets that cannot be sold at attractive valuations. This strategy allows firms to sell assets to themselves while bringing in new investors, enabling them to cash out their initial backers.

Despite the challenges posed by the current market disruption, private equity firms remain committed to navigating these uncertain times. By adapting their strategies and closely monitoring the evolving economic landscape, these firms are poised to weather the storm and emerge stronger in the long run.

It is important for private equity groups to remain vigilant and proactive in response to the changing market conditions. By staying informed and agile, these firms can navigate the challenges ahead and continue to thrive in an ever-evolving economic landscape.
