report Highlights

Highlights from our Q3 2024 UK M&A Valuation Indices, covering UK M&A transaction multiples for M&A deals completed in July – September 2024

UK M&A was robust in the third quarter of 2024. Encompassing the bulk of the summer holiday period, this quarter is normally associated with more subdued activity. We believe that rumoured changes to capital gains tax rates in the October budget led to elevated levels of activity.

SECTOR-BASED INDICES

We do not think that the distribution of deals by sector in Q3 2024 impacted the output multiples relative to the previous quarters illustrated in the chart below, with the exception of Q1 2024 when we recorded a (relatively) low proportion of Technology, Media & Telecommunications transactions (typically associated with high multiples) and a (relatively) high proportion of Industrials & Business Support Services multiples (associated with lower multiples)
