Beyond the headlines of the recently announced Home Depot/Hughes Supply deal, what’s really happening with mergers and acquisitions in wholesale distribution sectors? Some major shifts are in play. Private equity groups have snatched up more than $20 billion in revenues from deals reported between December 2004 and December 2005. That's more than the total reported revenues acquired by private equity groups during the previous four years.
Learn the inside story on how you can position your company to best advantage as two unbiased M&A experts share their insights into this fast-changing landscape. This two-hour CD of a fast-paced audio conference held April 20 will help you strengthen your company's position in 2006, whether you want to compete better or craft a better exit strategy. Includes answers to more than a dozen real-world questions submitted by attendees during the conference!
Find out what this transformation in financial and strategic investor activity means to a wholesaler-distributor and how it's changing distribution channels. You'll gain practical tips and advice from two seasoned M&A professionals with extensive hands-on experience helping wholesale distribution executives like you navigate successful deals across a range of company size, sectors and ownership structures.
Hear:
- Brent Grover, President, Evergreen Consulting
- Jim Miller, Managing Director and Principal, Brown Gibbons Lang & Company
Each of our panelists brings a unique and complementary understanding of wholesale distribution mergers and acquisitions. They share key details on small and large deals, emerging trends in valuation multiples, bridging gaps between offers and expectations, and critical steps to building curb appeal into a business. You'll learn the key benchmarks investors use at both corporate and branch levels to determine valuations.
You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how financial and strategic buyers are competing today and the increasingly subtle differences between the two. You’ll also find out how sellers can increase their options in such active market conditions. Even if you’re not considering an ownership transition in the near term, you still need to understand how current M&A activity could change your competitors' resources or positioning—as well as your strategic options—to counter these shifts in your market.
For one low price—just $199—you and your entire team can take part in this fast-paced, insightful MDM training session.
