New Mountain Capital (New Mountain) is an American alternative investment firm headquartered in New York City. The firm focuses on growth investing in mid-sized companies from economically acyclical industries.
Outside the U.S., the firm has offices in Europe and Asia.
Background
New Mountain was founded in 1999 by Steven Klinsky who was a former partner at Forstmann Little & Company as well as the co-founder of Goldman Sachs' leveraged buyout unit. Klinsky had a minor role during the buyout of RJR Nabisco as the top lieutenant to Theodore J. Forstmann. As a result, when Klinsky founded New Mountain, he wanted to take a different approach to other private equity firms which used high amounts of leverage.
In September 2018, Blackstone Inc. acquired a 9% stake in New Mountain.
In January 2021, it was reported that New Mountain had raised over $10 billion to perform investments. This came in the form of two funds, a $9.6 billion flagship private-equity vehicle and a $640 million pool earmarked for noncontrolling stakes in companies.
As of 2024, New Mountain has returned more capital than it has invested.
Corporate affairs
Mountain Capital has focused on building up mid-sized companies in predictable industries using modest amounts of debt. The companies are mainly family-owned businesses that have never made an acquisition or built operations outside of the US. In many deals, New Mountain forges novel corporate strategies. The approach has helped New Mountain earn large windfall gains at a time when many of its peers are struggling. Klinsky has stated there is a preference for mid-sized companies partially because they offer many more growth opportunities.
At the start of each year, New Mountain's investment team will gather to actively debate which industries and sectors will yield the most attractive investment opportunities in the coming year and how they might evolve over the long term. This allows the firm to better respond to industry or economic shifts and move away less attractive industries and sectors.
Notable deals
In March 2010, Mountain Capital acquired RedPrairie for $550 million which after restructuring became a leader in identifying supply chain bottlenecks. In 2021, Mountain Capital sold the rebranded company, Blue Yonder, to Panasonic for $8 billion earning over $5 billion in gains.
In August 2010, Mountain Capital acquired Avantor for under $300 million which it pushed into specialised chemicals that earn higher margins. In 2019 Avantor was listed earning Mountain Capital over $3 billion in gains.
In 2017, New Mountain acquired and merged two small home healthcare companies in the sector for less than $500 million and renamed the group Signify Health. In September 2022, it was sold to CVS Health for $8 billion.
In May 2024, New Mountain led a consortium to acquire a 60% stake in Grant Thornton's U.S. unit and centers on the non-audit business.
