PCO M&A Specialists, William Blair Collaborate on Pest Index

 

“This index is a collaboration between the fundamental research and insights from the Blair team and the hard data from PCO M&A Specialists’ sister firm, PCO Bookkeepers,” says Dan Gordon, managing partner of PCO Bookkeepers and PCO M&A Specialists. “The index tracks industry growth, supported by historic data and vetted by Wall Street experts.”

 

 

William Blair Equity Researchers Tim Mulrooney and Sam Kusswurm will issue a monthly report on the index, summarizing the results and other factors that affect the U.S. pest control industry, such as seasonality and weather. The purpose of the report is to track the performance of several pest markets. In addition to a total U.S. Pest Control, the researchers will track the Residential Pest Index, the Residential Door-to-Door Pest Index, the Commercial Pest Index, the Wood Destroying (Termite) Index and the Bed Bug Index. 

 

“Our data is compiled by our internal experts, who have more than 25 combined years of M&A experience across multiple industries, including more than 100 transactions with market values totaling $45 billion,” Gordon adds. “The historic data and reports pulled from our PCO Bookkeepers’ client records provide strategic buyers and PMPs looking to sell with the components that are most important to building their models, including tracking of customer growth, retention and the all-important recurring revenue, as well as selling, general and administrative costs they can use to build their profitability analyses.”
