New research identifies best-performing global businesses in
creating shareholder value from M&A
IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of critical
information and insight, has been recognized as among the
best-performing global businesses in creating shareholder value
from mergers and acquisitions (M&A), according to new research
authored by Intralinks® Holdings (NYSE: IL), and City University
London’s Cass Business School.
The study, Masters of the Deal: Part 2, looked at 20 years of
data, the largest ever analysis of shareholder value creation from
M&A, and analyzed 265,000 deals and the performance of over
25,000 global public companies. The research identified 1,469 elite
global firms that consistently outperformed their peers in
delivering above-average total shareholder returns. IHS was among
588 companies recognized in the U.S. A complete list of these
best-performing companies in M&A can be found on the Intralinks
website:

“Our acquisition strategy and the manner in which we execute on
it – with rapid and complete integration of acquired companies – is
a strategic differentiator for our company,” said Scott Key,
president and chief executive officer of IHS. “Delivering value
through a balanced combination of both acquisitions and organic
growth has allowed IHS to deliver tremendous value to our
stakeholders. We’re pleased to be recognized for delivering
superior shareholder returns as a result of our corporate
development activities.”
The report found the common M&A strategies employed by these
high-performing companies, which had a significant influence on
their outperformance. The strategies of these companies, referred
to in the report as Excellent Corporate Portfolio Managers (ECPMs),
included:
- Bolder M&A strategies, with greater
execution risk
- Faster deal completion
- Greater engagement with financial
sponsors and public companies
- Greater use of all-cash
consideration
- Avoiding large, transformational
acquisitions by undertaking smaller acquisitions, relative to their
own size, than other firms
- Making significantly more acquisitions
than divestments
- Making significant timing adjustments
to acquisitions and divestments to align with market conditions and
take advantage of valuation opportunities
