HELSINKI, FINLAND, June 14, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- European-based management consulting firm HKH Management Consulting Ltd. has released an in-depth study of more than 40 acquisitions completed by European SME’s from 2007 to 2017, determining that nearly two-thirds of those deals involving companies with at least 15% of their turnover from DTC sales do not yield a return value greater than the industry average. According to HKH Managing Partner and CEO Jari Helenius, “Most of these deals have fallen short of their promise”. The study analyzed deals valued at 50 EUR million or less tracking price premium paid over stock price and strategic intent of the transaction. The study further determined that strategic transactions are in fact no more likely to generate return value, showing no difference in value return between consolidation, strategic diversification and unrelated diversification deals. Ultimately, according to Helenius, “Our research confirms that post-merger management and integration are the most important determining factors in generating value in an acquisition deal”. He adds, “According to our findings, price premiums paid for transactions of this size do not correlate with generating positive return value for shareholders over industry averages.”

Additional information, interview opportunities and copies of the executive summary are available by directly contacting HKH Management Consulting Ltd.
