SPAIN

In the first quarter of 2015, the Spanish transactional market continues the upward trend set in previous months, with 405 deals registered and an investment volume of EUR 34.49bn. This represents a 22.7% and 119.6% increase, respectively, compared with the same period last year. These figures indicate the best first quarter of the last four years; better than in 2012, 2013 and 2014, both in the number of deals and investment volume generated.

Up until 31 March 2015, there were 13 deals registered in the high-end market in deal size (> EUR 500m), which generated EUR 29.75bn; 14 deals in the mid-market in deal size (between EUR 100m and EUR 500m), generating EUR 2.34bn; and 144 deals in the smaller market in deal size (< EUR 100m) that generated EUR 2.41bn. The total investment volume generated was EUR 34.49bn, even though there were 234 deals with undisclosed values.


PORTUGAL

In the first quarter of 2015, the Portuguese transactional market registered 56 deals, both announced and closed, which include mergers and acquisitions and assets. The investment volume generated was EUR 2.24bn. The number of deals recorded this quarter is higher than in the same period in 2012, 2013 and in 2014. However, the investment volume is only greater than in the first quarter of 2014.

These figures reflect a more dynamic market, with a tendency towards mid-market deals and some smaller market ones, and to transactions with undisclosed amounts. There were only 2 deals recorded in the high-end market in deal size (> EUR 250m), 8 transactions in the mid-market in deal size (between EUR 15m and EUR 250m), 6 in the smaller market in deal size (< EUR 15m), and 40 deals for undisclosed amounts.
