Hello Everyone!
Here's our latest M&A monthly report covering North American Mergers & Acquisitions.
In June, FirmoGraphs recorded a slightly higher level of activity than in the previous month. We recorded 84 completed transactions related to the North American market in 13 different industries.
The healthcare industry followed by the engineering products industry, went back to top in terms of transaction count.
As always, our focus is on those operationally-intensive industries that are of interest to our clients (utilities, manufacturing) rather than less asset-intensive markets (retail, banking).
Utilities
FirmoGraphs recorded eight completed transactions in the utilities industry. Capital Power Corporation bought Goreway Power Station Holdings Inc. (an 875 megawatt (MW) natural gas combined cycle generation facility) from JERA and Toyota Tsusho Corporation for $387 million.
It is also worth mentioning that California American Water acquired Rio Plaza Water Company in Ventura County. For FirmoGraphs Water Mart users, note that the Rio Plaza Water Company Safe Drinking Water EPA ID is CA5610010, and the system serves a population of less than 2000 people. Illinois American Water also acquired the Alton Regional Wastewater System which serves customers in Alton and nearby communities of Bethalto and Godfrey.
Oil Industry
The month of June shows nine completed transactions in the oil industry. The biggest one being the $8.7 billion worth acquisition of Petroleo Brasileiro’s gas pipeline system TAG, by a group led by France’s Engie SA and Canada’s CDPQ.
It’s worth noting that Occidental and Anadarko’s huge deal has been approved by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and is expected to close in the second half of the year.
Mining Industry
There were no significant mergers and acquisitions in the mining industry in the month of June.
