Mid-market LBO dealflow disappointed lenders in the first quarter, according to Thomson Reuters LPC, a sister service of peHUB that tracks the loan market.
With volume of less than $4 billion, activity was down 40% from the fourth quarter of 2010, according to LPC data. As a result, lenders have become more aggressive. Instead of the 3.5x to 4.5x EBITDA multiples that have been common, some new deals have offered 5x or even 6x EBITDA, LPC found.
