New Piper Jaffray Report Identifies Key Merger and Acquisition
Value Drivers For Packaging Companies CHICAGO, Feb. 18
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Piper Jaffray & Co. today released
its latest report on the packaging industry: Mergers and
Acquisitions Value Drivers for Companies in the Packaging Industry,
written by Doug Lawson, vice president in Piper Jaffray's Middle
Market Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) group. In the report,
Lawson examines characteristics of packaging companies that drive
high value in M&A transactions. He has categorized these
characteristics, also known as value drivers, into two groups:
fundamental value drivers and exceptional value drivers. These
value drivers influence the ability of acquirers to continue their
growth and enhance their profitability. "The presence of
fundamental value drivers has the potential to drive strong
interest and strong valuations; however, without some combination
of the exceptional value drivers, they alone will generally not
result in exceptional valuations," said Lawson. "The absence of
these value drivers is likely to result in low interest and low
valuations." According to Lawson, valuations among M&A
transactions in the packaging industry can vary significantly, but
generally fall between five to seven times enterprise
value/earnings-before-interest-taxes-depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA). The report is the latest in a series of reports by Piper
Jaffray's Middle Market M&A group that explore M&A in the
packaging industry.Other recent reports published by Doug Lawson
