Mergers and Acquisitions in the Global Life and Health Insurance Industry
Key Findings
The life and health (L&H) insurance industry is witnessing rapid transformation in terms of the regulatory, socio economic, and technological framework in which it operates. These changes and reforms are expected to induce merger and acquisition (M&A) activity in the L&H insurance space globally. Merger activity drives revenue growth and industry consolidation and is affected by a variety of factors, including:
- Profitability trends: Increased profitability leads buyers to indulge in M&As.
- Valuation trends: Higher valuations may deter mergers and spur private equity (PE) exits.
- Reserves and capital adequacy: The need to strengthen financial parameters may spur acquisitions.
- Regulatory and governance issues: The restructuring of business units by several companies for regulatory compliance may lead to M&A activity.
M&A activity in the L&H insurance industry is declining in deal volumes but witnessed an increase in average deal value in 2014. Improved performance in the industry, renewed investor confidence, improved reserves, and strategic initiatives by many insurance firms have improved the prospects of merger activity globally. L&H insurance companies are focusing on greater capital efficiency and cash flow generation by seeking mergers in developing countries with low penetration but high growth potential to strengthen their distribution network.
