Using a dataset comprising 88 Private Equity (PE) backed Leveraged Buyouts (LBOs) completed and exited during the period 1999–2008, this study sheds new light on the impact of buyout vendor source and PE investor experience on post-buyout efficiency during the first 3 years after the transaction. There are three main findings. First, we observe increases in post-buyout efficiency over time, although LBOs from different vendor source differ in terms of post-transaction efficiency levels and ... improvement trajectories. Private and divisional buyouts are more efficient than the average. Divisional buyouts show higher efficiency improvements than private and secondary buyouts. Secondary buyouts remain below the average. Second, multivariate analyses suggest a positive and significant effect of PE firm experience on post-buyout efficiency. Finally, the observed efficiency patterns seem to be convex, suggesting the major improvements happen in the first 2 years after the transaction.
