21-1 CHAPTER 21 Mergers and Divestitures  Types of mergers  Merger analysis  Role of investment bankers  Corporate alliances  LBOs, divestitures, and holding companies 21-2 Why do mergers occur?  Synergy: Value of the whole exceeds sum of the parts. Could arise from:  Operating economies  Financial economies  Differential management efficiency  Increased market power  Taxes (use accumulated losses)  Break-up value: Assets would be more valuable if sold to some other company. 21-3 What are some questionable reasons for mergers?  Diversification  Purchase of assets at below replacement cost  Get bigger using debt-financed mergers to help fight off takeovers 21-4 What is the difference between a “friendly” and a “hostile” takeover?  Friendly merger:  The merger is supported by the managements of both firms.  Hostile merger:  Target firm’s management resists the merger.  Acquirer must go directly to the target firm’s stockholders try to get 51% to tender their shares.  Often, mergers that start out hostile end up as friendly when offer price is raised. 21-5 Reasons why alliances can make more sense than acquisitions  Access to new markets and technologies  Multiple parties share risks and expenses  Rivals can often work together harmoniously  Antitrust laws can shelter cooperative R&D activities 21-6 Merger analysis: Post-merger cash flow statements 2003 2004 2005 2006 Net sales $60.0 $90.0 $112.5 $127.5 - Cost of goods sold 36.0 54.0 67.5 76.5 - Selling/admin. exp. 4.5 6.0 7.5 9.0 - Interest expense 3.0 4.5 4.5 6.0 EBT 16.5 25.5 33.0 36.0 -Taxes 6.6 10.2 13.2 14.4 Net Income 9.9 15.3 19.8 21.6 Retentions 0.0 7.5 6.0 4.5 Cash flow 9.9 7.8 13.8 17.1 21-7 What is the appropriate discount rate to apply to the target’s cash flows?  Estimated cash flows are residuals which belong to acquirer’s shareholders.  They are riskier than the typical capital budgeting cash flows. Because fixed interest charges are deducted, this increases the volatility of the residual cash flows.  Because the cash flows are risky equity flows, they should be discounted using the cost of equity rather than the WACC. 21-8 Discounting the target’s cash flows  The cash flows reflect the target’s business risk, not the acquiring company’s.  However, the merger will affect the target’s leverage and tax rate, hence its financial risk. 21-9 Calculating terminal value  Find the appropriate discount rate k S(Target) = k RF + (k M –k RF )β Target = 9% + (4%)(1.3) = 14.2%  Determine terminal value  TV 2006 = CF 2006 (1 + g) / (k S –g) = $17.1 (1.06) / (0.142 – 0.06) =$221.0 million 21-10 Net cash flow stream 2003 2004 2005 2006 Annual cash flow $9.9 $7.8 $13.8 $ 17.1 Terminal value 221.0 Net cash flow $9.9 $7.8 $13.8 $238.1  Value of target firm  Enter CFs in calculator CFLO register, and enter I/YR = 14.2%. Solve for NPV = $163.9 million [...]... create value as a result of economies of scale, other synergies, and/or better management Shareholders of target firms reap most of the benefits, because of competitive bids 2 1-1 7 Functions of Investment Bankers in Mergers Arranging mergers Assisting in defensive tactics Establishing a fair value Financing mergers Risk arbitrage 2 1-1 8 ... value added would go to the target’s shareholders Acquiring and target firms must decide how much wealth they are willing to forego 2 1-1 3 Shareholder wealth in a merger Shareholders’ Wealth Bargaining Range Acquirer Target $9.00 0 5 $16.39 10 15 20 Price Paid for Target 2 1-1 4 Shareholder wealth Nothing magic about crossover price from the graph Actual price would be determined by bargaining Higher if... in, price will be bid up If not, could be close to $9 2 1-1 5 Shareholder wealth Acquirer might want to make high “preemptive” bid to ward off other bidders, or low bid and then plan to go up It all depends upon their strategy Do target’s managers have 51% of stock and want to remain in control? What kind of personal deal will target’s managers get? 2 1-1 6 Do mergers really create value? The evidence strongly... discount rate 2 1-1 1 The target firm has 10 million shares outstanding at a price of $9.00 per share What should the offering price be? The acquirer estimates the maximum price they would be willing to pay by dividing the target’s value by its number of shares: Max price = Target’s value / # of shares = $163.9 million / 10 million = $16.39 Offering range is between $9 and $16.39 per share 2 1-1 2 Making . 2 1-1 CHAPTER 21 Mergers and Divestitures  Types of mergers  Merger analysis  Role of investment bankers  Corporate alliances  LBOs, divestitures, and holding companies 2 1-2 Why. activities 2 1-6 Merger analysis: Post-merger cash flow statements 2003 2004 2005 2006 Net sales $60.0 $90.0 $112.5 $127.5 - Cost of goods sold 36.0 54.0 67.5 76.5 - Selling/admin company. 2 1-3 What are some questionable reasons for mergers?  Diversification  Purchase of assets at below replacement cost  Get bigger using debt-financed mergers to help fight off takeovers 2 1-4 What
