Abstract

How has PE backing influenced the operating performance of firms (primarily in terms of ROA and ROE) during the recent financial crisis (2006–2010)? In this study, the authors use a dataset of 939 European PE-backed firms and a control sample of 2,516 European non-PE-backed firms. They find that PE-backed firms are more profitable than non-PE-backed firms. Even though the recent financial crisis had a negative effect on the operating performance of both PE- and non-PE-backed firms, the authors report strong evidence that the former have a greater ability to withstand turbulent economic environments.
