KippsDeSanto & Co. Advises Intelligence Firm Phoenix Consulting Group, Inc. on its Sale to DynCorp International LLC
KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to send you the attached press release announcing the acquisition of our client, Phoenix Consulting Group, Inc. (“Phoenix”), by DynCorp International LLC (“DynCorp”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of DynCorp International Inc. Phoenix is expected to expand DynCorp’s services to the Intelligence Community (“IC”). The transaction closed on October 19, 2009.
Based in Alexandria, VA, Phoenix is a leading provider of specialized, proprietary human intelligence (“HUMINT”) and counterintelligence training, intelligence analysis, and program office support to elements of the IC and Department of Defense (DoD). Phoenix directly supports, via training and analysis, U.S. intelligence professionals, operating in on-going low-intensity and non-conflict areas, that are mission critical to protecting national security.
We believe this transaction represents a number of key trends in government / Intel services M&A:
• Continued strategic and financial buyer appetite for Intel firms remains strong given robust funding outlook as Government leaders emphasize actionable intelligence to combat Unconventional Warfare with non-traditional, non-state adversaries both domestically and abroad. M&A activity for Intel firms has accounted for 43% of total deals YTD in 2009 compared to 26% for all of 2008.
• Competitive differentiators in the form of intellectual property, proprietary tools and technology that enhance service offerings are in high demand and drive M&A value.
KippsDeSanto & Co. is an investment bank focused on delivering M&A and financing transaction results for leading technology and defense companies. For more information on KippsDeSanto & Co., please visit www.kippsdesanto.com.
