Switzerland's M&A Deal Surge Leaves Rest of Europe Behind
(Bloomberg) -- Switzerland is seeing a more than fivefold surge in mergers and acquisitions that's outpaced most of its European peers, giving bankers hopes for a lucrative payout this year. A Photographer's Pipe Dream: Capturing New York's Vast Water System Festivals and Parades Are Canceled Amid US Immigration Anxiety A London Apartment Tower With Echoes of Victorian Rail and Ancient Rome Princeton Plans New Budget Cuts as Pressure From Trump Builds The volume of takeovers targeting Swiss companies has jumped 465% to $16.7 billion so far this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Private equity firms are particularly active, with Advent announcing late Sunday it has agreed to acquire Zurich-listed chipmaker U-blox Holding AG in a deal valued at 1.05 billion Swiss francs ($1.3 billion). Switzerland's wave of dealmaking comes against a backdrop of macroeconomic challenges. Swiss companies are now facing a potential hit to revenues after the US unexpectedly imposed a 39% tariff on imports from the country. The levy is the highest in the developed world and prompted various Swiss companies from small to large to look at ways to lower the impact. The country's openness to foreign investment has helped drive inbound deal volume, as it doesn't have the restrictions that some other European nations have, according to Tino Gaberthüel, who heads the corporate and M&A practice at Zurich-based law firm Lenz & Staehelin. 'There is a high interest in Switzerland's mid-cap players that run cost efficiently, but may not have a globally critical size,' said Vincent Thiebaud, head of Swiss investment banking at Jefferies Financial Group Inc. Swiss firms themselves are also on the lookout for new technologies and for entering new markets or cementing their footprint in existing ones, said Reinout Boettcher, JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s head of Switzerland investment banking. 'The Swiss M&A market has historically been strongly influenced by outbound activities, also because Switzerland has a large number of leading global companies that want to strengthen their positions,' Boettcher said. Domestic Champion Mergers of domestic companies, on the back of a strong Swiss franc and the needs to boost returns, are also driving Swiss dealmaking. In April, Helvetia Holding AG agreed to combine with Baloise Holding AG to form the country's second-largest insurance group, marking the biggest announced deal in Switzerland this year. OC Oerlikon Corp. in May signed a deal to sell its Barmag textile machinery business to domestic rival Rieter Holding AG. Firms like Basel-based Novartis AG have been seeking growth abroad, with the drugmaker agreeing this year to deals for US biotech companies Regulus Therapeutics Inc. and Anthos Therapeutics. Meanwhile, Swiss tech reseller SoftwareOne Holding AG recently completed a takeover of Norwegian rival Crayon Group Holding ASA. 'As decision-makers adapt to the 'new normal,' we observe a renewed focus on harnessing the M&A toolkit to achieve strategic objectives,' said Julian Herriger, head of investment banking for Switzerland at Citigroup Inc. 'Swiss companies, equipped with solid balance sheets, a strong acquisition currency and a track record of effectively navigating cross-border complexity, are well positioned to build on this momentum.' Some Swiss companies are under pressure to simplify their operations to revive growth and boost profit margins. ABB Ltd., which has a $123 billion market value, is looking to spin off or sell its robotics unit, while Nestle SA has announced plans to separate a water business that's home to brands like Perrier, and Acqua Panna. 'We see positive activity in Switzerland including in the large-cap segment,' said Jens Haas, head of investment bank Switzerland at UBS Group AG. 'It is largely focused on transactions with a perceived high certainty of success, like breaking up conglomerate structures via spinoffs or divestitures.' Deutsche Bank AG expects the industrial, health care and financial services sector to remain hotspots for further deal activity in the second half of the year. 'We have naturally become an increasingly important address for many European topics for our clients,' said Urs Raeber, head of investment banking coverage and advisory at Deutsche Bank in Switzerland.

Infineon finalises $2.5bn acquisition of Marvell's Automotive Ethernet unit
Germany-based chipmaker Infineon Technologies has completed the purchase of Marvell Technology's Automotive Ethernet business for a total of $2.5bn in cash. The deal, initially announced in April this year, has now cleared all regulatory hurdles. This strategic move bolsters Infineon's capabilities in the burgeoning market for software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and enhances its standing in the automotive microcontroller sphere. According to Infineon, ethernet technology is instrumental in facilitating swift and efficient data transfer among various vehicle components. It is particularly critical for the functionality of SDVs. By integrating Marvell's Automotive Ethernet offerings, which include PHY transceivers, bridges, and switches, Infineon aims to deliver a robust suite of solutions to its clientele. These products are essential for the underlying communication systems in SDVs, offering networking capabilities that range from 100Mbps to 10Gbps, along with the requisite security and safety features. The acquired business boasts a design-win pipeline projected to be worth approximately $4bn by 2030, and it is anticipated to generate revenues between $225m and $250m this calendar year, with a gross margin near 60%. Infineon has financed this acquisition through a mix of readily available funds and new debt, with financial backing secured from banking institutions. The company is poised to further develop its Ethernet business, fostering innovation and swiftly translating it into customer benefits. Infineon noted that a dedicated "Ethernet Solutions" business line has been established within its automotive division to centralise expertise in this area. Moreover, the acquisition is expected to reinforce Infineon's footprint in the US market, particularly in the realms of research and development activities. Marvell Technology CEO and chairman Matt Murphy said: 'Through relentless innovation and deep partnerships across the automotive industry, they've established a leadership position in this critical technology area. Infineon is the right company to take this business to the next level – with the scale, portfolio breadth, and customer reach to unlock its full potential. 'We're confident this move will create exciting opportunities for continued growth, and we look forward to seeing the team thrive as part of Infineon.'
