Although the economy has shown signs of improvement, a significant amount of stress, uncertainty and volatility still exist in the marketplace, both domestically and globally. While most of 2014 was a very strong year for energy deal activity, the steady decline in oil prices in November and December contributed to a marked shift in deal sentiment from playing offense to playing defense as companies focused on maintaining liquidity. That downward trajectory in oil and gas prices, coupled with the impact of leverage, drove a number of deals related to corporate restructurings and portfolio right sizing activities. In today’s low price environment, the effects of debt could drive additional deal activity as leveraged companies look to increase liquidity through debt and equity offerings, M&A, along with cash flow optimization and operational efficiencies. An understanding of the impacts of these key factors is paramount to navigating complexity, addressing distress and uncovering opportunities in the current marketplace. Topics of discussion will include: Overview of the distressed markets The impact of current commodity prices in the energy sector Key considerations Opportunities in the marketplace Speakers: Brian Koluch, Moderator Director, Business Recovery Services PwC’s Deals Practice Rob McCeney Partner, US energy & infrastructure PwC’s Deals Practice John Bittner Partner, Business Recovery Services PwC’s Deals Practice |
