M&A activity in the first third of 2020 was off to a strong start with over 400 deals completed or announced globally. Much of the recent M&A
activity has been driven by industry participants trying to rapidly adapt to and/or meet shifting consumer needs and preferences
― Of note, ~42% of deals as of 4/30/20 were announced or closed in March and April, the first two months that experienced substantial
market volatility due to COVID-19
― North American M&A and direct investments in the Food & Beverage sector through early 2020 were supported by consumer confidence
and disposable income being at historic highs
Acquisitions to address key industry trends was evident by many of the high-profile deals in Q1 2020:
― Acquisition of renowned brands in high value markets (Pepsi’s acquisition of Rockstar, Coke’s acquisition of Fairlife)
― Portfolio realignment after downward pressure from trendier competitors (Hershey’s divestiture of Krave)
― Expansion of capacity and product mix (C.J. Foods’ acquisition of American Nutrition)

COVID-19’s Effect on the Food & Beverage Industry
INDUSTRY REPORT | 4
COVID-19 Has Caused Widespread Supply Chain and Manufacturing Issues
COVID-19’s effect on the Food & Beverage industry has been widespread, resulting in major disruptions
Supply chains have experienced significant strain, including the following:
― Manufacturers have had shipments of product and equipment from China and other countries delayed
― Farms have had to throw away produce and evaluate culling herds due to a lack of demand from certain customers
― Producers have lost capacity due to viral outbreaks and distancing guidelines, which can be seen (right) in the steep drop in Capacity
Utilization from March
Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization(1) (2020)
Source(s): Wall Street Journal, FoodBytes! Webinar, FRED.
Note (1) Month over month change, with the exception of March YoY.
Manufacturers have had to quickly reexamine capacity, prioritizing
large brands with steady volume
― This lost capacity has resulted in smaller brands and startups
losing volume as co-manufacturers focus on key customers
These market disruptions have created unique opportunities for well
capitalized companies to pursue targeted expansion and acquisitions
of capacity to fulfill markets more affected by supply chain issues

INDUSTRY REPORT | 5
Across the industry, 2020 EV / EBITDA multiples remained high, with only Food Service, Food Retail, and Agribusiness in the single digits.
~63% of the below food categories have declined year-over-year in large part due to market volatility caused by COVID-19, with Better-for-
You, Specialty Pet, Protein Processing, Grocery Distributors, Baked Goods, and Food Retail being holdouts
― These categories are up by an average of ~22% as prices rise, and consumers stockpile essential products
As expected, Food Service experienced a significant drop of ~18% due to most of its end markets shutting down. On the other hand, Specialty
Pet increased ~21% due to continued pet spending and increased adoptions as consumers spend more time at home

Maintaining Value and Preparing for a Post-COVID-19
Market
INDUSTRY REPORT | 6
Being Proactive to Preserve Value
M&A activity has slowed substantially since the first quarter as the impacts of COVID-19 are being felt across the globe. Private equity groups
that invest in the Food and Beverage sector have noted that deal flow has halted, with activity down by as much as 95%
― However, once the economy improves, analysts expect M&A activity to quickly rebound as cheaper debt, shown by the LIBOR curve
below, becomes more readily available, resulting in a surge of activity
― Many active acquirers and private equity groups are aggressively pursuing high performing Food & Beverage companies in order to take
advantage of the dislocation in the market and are employing creative structures to meet valuation expectations
In order to maintain value as the world emerges from COVID-19, Food & Beverage companies need to have demonstrated an ability to pivot to
protect revenues, profitability, and customer relationships. Below are believed to be key value drivers post COVID-19:
― Leverage technology and the gig economy to maintain customer service while reducing overhead
― Superior customer service to maintain (and grow) brand recognition and customer loyalty
― Efficient use of capital, ability to manage production levels, and/or shift product mix to meet changing demand and supply channels

FOOD & BEVERAGE INDUSTRY REPORT
Industry Trends to Watch
INDUSTRY REPORT | 7
In the wake of COVID-19, analysts expect a number of new consumer trends to emerge that could also be future drivers of M&A as industry
participants once again seek to innovate and adapt to a new environment, where existing trends need to be reexamined and prioritized.
Possible New M&A Drivers
Sanitary Distribution
COVID-19 may reverse the industry’s shift
towards sustainable, plastic-less packaging, as
consumers place new emphasis on contagion-
free packaging and reduced human contact
Eat Local
With recent supply and demand disruptions,
crops and animals have been destroyed and
culled, placing a renewed focus on supply chain
efficiency and local farming to meet demand
eCommerce Growth
Stay-at-Home regulations and the closure of
restaurants have provided key tailwinds to D2C
offerings, with some delivery companies
reporting 50% increases in volume
Source(s): The NPD Group, FoodBytes! Webinar, The National Restaurant Association.
Core Focus on Value
Consumers will likely favor high value products,
such as private label goods, as disposable
incomes fall, leading to high dollar products
cutting prices to compete
Greater Focus on Better-for-You
As consumers see the firsthand effects of a
pandemic on individuals’ health, functional and
immune-boosting products will continue to
outperform as shown by their public multiples
