TagniFi Launches PowerComps

TagniFi, a leading financial data platform that serves the middle market, proudly announces the introduction of PowerComps, a state-of-the-art database specifically designed for a thorough analysis of middle market mergers and acquisitions (M&A). With this launch, TagniFi aims to address long-standing issues within the middle market surrounding the opacity of private company M&A transactions.

The Market Challenge

For many years, professionals operating in the middle market have faced significant challenges due to a lack of visibility into private company M&A activities. Most transactions are not disclosed to the public, and when they are, the crucial valuation details often go missing. This scarcity of information complicates the ability to benchmark valuations, support fairness opinions, and negotiate deals effectively. PowerComps is addressing these challenges head-on by providing accurate, transparent, and reliable data that users can trust.

A Database with Depth and Coverage

At its launch, PowerComps boasts over 1,200 verified, anonymized transactions sourced from 87 contributing firms. This robust dataset offers professionals a comprehensive view of the middle market, as it includes deals from both strategic and financial buyers. Whether they are assessing sponsor-backed acquisitions or strategic takeovers, users can access the critical comparables necessary for informed decision-making.

Key Features of PowerComps

The development of PowerComps involves a meticulous process where each transaction undergoes a standardized intake assessment. This ensures the deal terms are consistent and valid. Contributors can easily upload their deals via a secure and user-friendly interface, and all submissions are carefully anonymized. The system guarantees that data is displayed only when a minimum of three transactions exist in a given industry, preserving both data integrity and contributor confidentiality.

Furthermore, PowerComps presents metrics across a variety of sectors. Its comprehensive metrics encompass:

• - TEV/EBITDA
• - TEV/Revenue
• - EBITDA Margins
• - Revenue Growth
• - Debt/Equity Ratios
• - Interest Rates (Junior, Senior, and Unitranche)
• - Terms of Earnouts, Escrow, Indemnification

Harnessing these metrics, professionals can benchmark valuations by industry, buyer type, and deal structure. They can also track current trends in deal terms within the middle market, ultimately supporting their valuation models and fairness opinions with validated comparables.

Empowering Middle Market Professionals

One of the most significant advantages of PowerComps is its community-driven approach. Professionals in investment banking, private equity, valuation services, and corporate development are encouraged to contribute anonymized transaction data to enrich the database further. This collaborative effort will ensure that PowerComps becomes an invaluable resource for borrowers and lenders alike in the middle market landscape.

Chad Sandstedt, CEO of TagniFi, highlighted the importance of this innovation: “PowerComps fills a massive gap by bringing transparency to middle market valuations without compromising confidentiality. By including data from both strategic and financial buyers, we're providing dealmakers with a complete view, not just one side of it.”
