In the world of mergers and acquisitions, it is useful to study past transactions to provide benchmarks and to understand trends in an industry. One source that can be used for this purpose is the Houlihan Lokey 2016 Purchase Price Allocation Study, which was published in September 2017.
The study provides trends in purchase price allocations by examining public filings from approximately 1,300 transactions in 2016 and limiting transactions to those that meet the study’s screening criteria—a total of 455 transactions. A majority of the transactions (roughly 62%) reported purchase consideration below $250 million. Purchase consideration is defined as the total of the purchase price paid and the liabilities assumed. Highlights of the study include:
These trends provide some insight into a “typical” transaction. However, each transaction will certainly have its own set of particular facts and circumstances. Schneider Downs has significant experience in performing purchase price allocations in order to comply with ASC 805.
