There is growing optimism among dealmakers for a potential increase in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) within the real estate sector. This outlook is driven by the expansion into diverse asset classes and the increasing significance of private credit in funding transactions. As the market landscape evolves, we are witnessing a notable involvement of non-traditional investors, such as high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and family offices. The future presents a wealth of new opportunities for those prepared to adapt to these changing conditions. Acknowledgment to PwC for the valuable insights. #RealEstate #PwC

Remember: in a transaction, a Quality of Earnings (QoE) analysis will tell you what the numbers are; a Value Creation team will tell you what the numbers could be. In 2023, CohnReznick LLP’s Transaction Advisory Services team advised clients on 675 engagements valued at over $18B. Our Value Creation/Performance Improvement team rode alongside our QoE teams for many of those, both on the sell-side and buy-side, to provide a "could be" view of the transaction. Reach out to learn how we can unlock significant transaction/post-merger value with separation analysis, benchmarking, cost/revenue synergies, and merger planning. #transactions #privateequity #duediligence #CohnReznick #performanceimprovement #valuecreation #qoe

How many acquisitions is your company planning to make in the next three years? We recently released our PwC Australia 2024 M&A Outlook and are excited to share our #FinancialServices Industry Insights. Deal volumes were down 14% (221 deals were completed in 2023, compared with 257 deals in 2022), although this was not too far off the medium-term average (270 deals per year in Australia between 2018-20, albeit with a record-breaking year in 2021). On the other hand, values halved. FS deals in Australia totalled US$8,320million in 2023—significantly down from US$65,383m in 2021, reflecting a similar trend globally and in the Asia Pacific region.
