Abstract
Deal volume in the transportation and logistics sector hasn’t been booming in the last few years. Exits in the sector have been declining from 13% of overall exit activity in 2010 to 8% in 1H 2012, and a paltry 4% in 2H 2012. The average exit size has continued to decline from an all-time high of $409 million in 2009 to $173 million in 2012.“Macroeconomic conditions have been tough; commodity prices and consumers’ inability to spend during the recession took a toll on transportation and logistics companies as well as investors in the sector,” says Chad Rash, a Managing Director of Grant Thornton’s Transaction Advisory Services group.
