• Characteristics of F&B companies receiving the highest valuations
remain consistent. Acquirers continue to look for companies with:
− A consumer focus on healthy lifestyles (i.e. responsibly
sourced, minimal processing or added chemicals, wholesome
ingredients, plant-based protein, etc.)
− Potential to enter new markets (i.e. product categories and
geographies)
− High growth brand(s) to balance out existing mature
portfolios

• The Food and Agricultural Organization (“FAO”) index, which
measures the change in international prices of a basket of food
commodities, averaged 150 in January 2016, down 15.9% from
January 2015.
Abundant supplies, lackluster demand, and an
appreciating U.S. dollar are behind the decline in global food prices.
The FAO index remains at its lowest point since March 2009 (146).
• Food-at-home CPI (grocery store food items) showed a modest
decrease of 1.0% in January 2016 compared to January 2015.
Disease and drought led to higher egg, pork, and beef prices in 2015;
however, the effects on eggs and pork are beginning to subside.
USDA Economic Resource Service expects food prices to rise 2.0% to
3.0% in 2016, approximately the average rate of inflation over the
last 20 years.

• The consumer confidence index measured 98 in January, 5.5% lower
than the 2015 high of 104 experienced last January. Consumers
generally do not view the volatility in financial markets as having a
significant impact on the economy, while Consumer Confidence
Survey numbers have been relatively flat in recent months.
