Introducing Trident M&A Advisors Quarterly Newsletter

Introduction

Trident M&A Advisors (formerly Trident World Ventures) is a relationship-centered consulting and investment banking firm based in Dallas, TX, with a satellite office in Atlanta, GA. We provide turn-key buy/sell guidance and consultative services to our clients in various industries focusing on lower middle-market companies. Our service offering spans sell-side & buy-side representation, mergers & acquisitions, recapitalization, debt & equity funding, and exit strategy.

Trident is founded on transparency and honesty. Our commitment is to provide exemplary advice, service, and support at a competitive price. We assemble a collaborative team of experts with an emphasis on the holistic business solution rather than an individual transaction.

Trident sources "off-market" opportunities to well-funded private equity groups that seek specific industry segments. This approach allows us to close highly qualified deals. Our "trusted advisor" relationship means our clients get fast-track consideration from private equity decision-makers. In an environment where many private equity groups look at hundreds of deal each year and close a few, Trident's direct access can be the difference between pain and close.

M&A Activity

The M&A industry is poised for vigorous activity in the next couple of years. While the COVID-19 pandemic shut down certain industry sectors for a period of time and dramatically impacted activity in others, the fundraising by family offices and private equity groups continued to be robust. As a result, equity markets are bulging with liquidity and are aggressive for deal origination.

Deal Highlights and Environment

In Q1 of 2022, a client in the sports media business engaged Trident to offer for sale their entire digital video library, trademarks, and media assets. This unique pro boxing video collection has been created over time by a globally recognized host, executive producer, and personality. His history goes back to Muhammad Ali's career start at the 5th Street gym. The content includes 62 half-hour television shows as well as several interviews with A-list Hollywood actors relevant to boxing. Each show features a one-on-one in-depth interview with the star, followed by a sparring session to demonstrate technique and form.

Another recent engagement involves a Texas-based HVAC company that offers both residential and commercial services. The U.S. HVAC systems market size was valued at USD 15.16 billion in 2020. It is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0% from 2021 to 2028. Trident expects this segment along with business services, distribution, and light manufacturing to be in high demand.
