A Long-Term Partnership for M&A Success

by HSBC

Against the pressures of plummeting energy prices and competitive and geopolitical challenges on one hand, and the need to invest in efficient extraction techniques and sustainable energy on the other, corporations in the Natural Resources & Utilities sector have been quick to refocus and revitalise their corporate strategy in recent years. One of the most significant outcomes of this has been exceptional levels of M&A as companies divest non-core assets and realign their supply chains.

This has significant implications for treasurers, who typically need to work against the clock to integrate or divest businesses quickly to avoid business interruption and gain rapid control over group liquidity and risk. Furthermore, the M&A process is often not simply a ‘one off’ project but a series of diverse projects that need to be managed concurrently or in rapid succession. To support treasurers through these challenging times, HSBC has put together a series of articles that together comprise a Cash Management Guide to M&A for the Natural Resources & Utilities sector, providing greater visibility over the tasks, and sharing experiences of our expert team within the business, and those of our clients to help treasurers overcome the pitfalls and maximise success.
