Buyout Track 100 Research – Britain’s 100 private equity-backed companies with the fastest-growing profits
|
Buyout Track 100 Research Report 2010 This is the fourth year of The Sunday Times Deloitte Buyout Track 100, which ranks Britain’s 100 private equity-backed companies with the fastest-growing profits (EBITDA‡) over the last two years. Deloitte is the title sponsor of the league table and main sponsors are Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets and UBS Wealth Management. The Buyout Track 100 is the only league table of its kind in Britain, ranking private equity-backed companies, rather than private equity deals at entry or exit. This year there are 68 new entrants to the league table as compared to 49 on last year’s table. The top company this year is Moneybookers, with an average growth rate of 177% a year. This Investcorp-backed company is one of Europe’s largest online fund transfer services and enables anyone with an email address to send and receive payments securely online. The companies in the Buyout Track 100 have profits ranging from £3m to £50m. Businesses with profits greater than £50m are listed separately in the ‘10 Biggest’ league table.
