The most active strategic acquirers of IDM assets completed a combined acquisitions in 2016 and 13 acquisitions in 1Q 2017.
Though aggregate strategic M&A volume increased significantly over last quarter, the majority of the most active strategic acquirers remained quiet, with five transacting in the first quarter.
Google continues to lead the group with four acquisitions in 2017 YTD, including Kaggle, a platform that crowdsources machine learning solutions through online competitions—an acquisition that underscores Google’s commitment to building out its artificial intelligence capabilities.
1Q 2017 saw an increase in M&A activity over the prior quarter with strategic M&A activity increasing from 133 in 4Q 2016 to 160 in 1Q 2017.
1Q 2017 activity represents a 20.3% increase from 4Q 2016 but a 17.1% decrease from 1Q 2016.
As occurred in 1Q 2015 and 1Q 2016, there was a significant uptick in IDM M&A activity by strategics to begin the year, largely driven by a broad array of smaller transactions.

(Number of Transactions) (Enterprise Value / Revenue) AdTech and Marketing
Solutions M&A deal volume increased by 10.5% since last quarter. The slight uptick returns deal volume to the same level as 1Q 2016.
Private equity increased investment activity in the vertical in 1Q, while still comprising only ~10% of overall buyers.
Though median multiples decreased slightly since 4Q, 1Q 2017 represents an overall increase over 1Q 2016 median multiples.
While strategics continue to represent the great majority of all buyers, some of the quarter’s more notable 1Q transactions came from private equity investors such as OMERS, KKR, and Orient Hentai.
Amobee’s $310 million acquisition of Turn highlights the recent trend of smaller adtechcompanies finding strategic exits through their absorption by larger telcos; with AOL, Yahoo, and Telenor comprising the most high-profile examples of such buyers.

SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY IPOS(1)
The technology IPO window appears to have opened up in 1Q 2017. IPO dollar volume increased significantly in the first quarter, with five transactions representing nearly $4 billion of total equity issued in the quarter. While much of this dollar volume was driven by Snap’s $3.4 billion IPO, it is still encouraging for the technology IPO market given the limited volume of new issuances over the last 12 months.
For the five technology IPOs in 1Q 2017, shares are trading up by a median 14% above their IPO price, creating a favorable outlook for additional technology listings in the near term.
