The provided text is an Annual Report from Aurora9, focused on the 2024 U.S. Private Equity middle-market, offering a comprehensive overview of deal activity, market conditions, and future outlook. The report details a resurgence in deal volume and value following a constrained 2023, driven primarily by easing inflation and Federal

Reserve interest rate cuts which improved the financing environment. A significant portion of the analysis is dedicated to sectoral performance, noting the strength in B2B, B2C (especially restaurants), information technology (AI/cybersecurity), and healthcare, while the energy sector saw a marked decline due to political uncertainty. The document also examines regional deal distribution, with the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast leading activity, and discusses deal dynamics like increased closing times for larger transactions due to heightened regulatory scrutiny. Finally, the report concludes with an optimistic 2025 outlook, anticipating further deal acceleration fueled by economic stability and expected policy shifts from a new administration.
