European equity capital markets have performed strongly in 2024, fueled by optimism over AI-driven growth and expectations of gradual interest rate cuts as inflation stabilizes and the Euro area GDP shows (some) growth. Despite lingering uncertainty about the global economic outlook, European IPO markets have cautiously reopened following a two-year drought. With a strong pipeline, IPO activity is expected to increase further in 2025. In our latest report for listed and large corporates, we take a closer look at the above topics and provide insights into fairness opinions, along with an update on the European M&A and debt markets.

Dealing with carve-outs – how to optimize a (corporate) divestment? An evolving business landscape continually obliges corporates to (re)consider their strategic position and financial performance. As a result, carve-outs are playing an increasingly significant role in the current deal market. They enable companies to sharpen their focus on core activities, unlock shareholder value, improve operational efficiency, or comply with regulatory demands. Oaklins has extensive experience with these types of transactions and possesses the right expertise and international alignment to navigate the complexities of a carve-out transaction.

Last Friday, Oaklins Netherlands attended the JINC Awards Show. JINC's mission is to ensure that a child's background does not determine their future. They envision a world where every child has an equal chance to succeed by providing the support and resources needed for a good start in the labor market.   The Awards Show was held at a fantastic venue: the Rijksmuseum! It was a festive end to the 2023-2024 school year and a special moment for us. Our managing partner, Frederik van der Schoot, had the honour of presenting the award for 'Best Newcomer' – the same award we were proud to receive last year.   Our Oakies supported JINC and the children through various projects this past school year: ✅ Job interview training sessions: In pairs, we provided training to improve job interview skills. ✅ Career coaches: Multiple sessions were held to help students identify their strengths and career interests. ✅ One-day internships: Students participated in a one-day internship, where they were tasked with creating a company. ✅ Boss of tomorrow: Two students took on the role of CEO at Oaklins Netherlands for a day.   We reached no fewer than 339 students last school year and look forward to making this school year another great success!   Each of these initiatives brought us closer to our goal of giving young children the tools they need to shape their future.   Inspired? Contact Ray Tulleken from JINC to discover how your organization can contribute to making a positive impact on society.

As we finalize our review of Q3 performance, we are proud to report that Oaklins continues to hold a strong position in the Netherlands, the Benelux region, and across Europe, successfully executing both local and cross-border deals.   Frederik van der Schoot, managing partner of Oaklins Netherlands, shares further insights, “At Oaklins, we are pleased to reflect on a strong third quarter, during which we further strengthened our position as a leading International Corporate Finance House. This is highlighted by our top-10 ranking in Europe and top-3 position in the Benelux and the Netherlands, driven by cross-border transactions in key sectors such as Horticulture, Marine Equipment, Energy, Healthcare, Business Support Services, Software/SaaS, and IT services.  Although the market overall remains solid, we have noticed in recent quarters that deal processes are taking longer. Especially in the upper mid-market we see transactions being postponed more often. This is mainly due to ongoing uncertainty, a tougher financing environment, and lingering effects from the 2020–2023 period.    The financing landscape has started to improve as a result of falling interest rates, however many companies are waiting till they can show strong growth in combination with consistent performance to start a sales process, making it too early for a formal, structured sales process. In addition, we notice that private equity funds are experiencing increasing pressure from investors for liquidity. As a result, we expect to see a sharp rise in one-on-one transactions in the coming quarters, particularly for private equity owned upper mid-market companies.    Nevertheless, a substantial number of companies has already shown strong and consistent recovery, hence we notice a significant growth in our deal pipeline and expect a continued recovery in the mergers and acquisitions market, with rising deal volumes. All in all, we are optimistic about the market performance and looking positively into Q4 and the year 2025.”
