Section 2

Thinking through a potential


M&A opportunity
Why do companies engage in M&A?
A company can engage in M&A activity for a variety of reasons

1 Business growth
• M&A activity allows a company to grow more rapidly than would otherwise be possible through its existing operations

• When a company acquires another company, it gains control of the target’s assets, enabling the acquirer to utilise them to maximise performance,
market share and cash flows earned

2 Synergies
• Synergies exist when a company can acquire another company and extract additional value from the ownership of that company. They make the
target company more attractive and valuable to the acquiring company than it would be on a stand-alone basis

• Synergies can be related to—(i) costs (e.g. centralisation of certain activities


(such as marketing, accounting and back-office functions)); and / or (ii) revenue Is the timing right?
(e.g. cross-selling opportunities)
• Relative performance of share price /
operations
• Shareholder sentiment
3 Strategic advantages
• Ability to fund the transaction
• A strategic acquisition can often benefit the business operations of the acquiring company
by expanding operations to include downstream or upstream functions related to the
acquirer’s business

• An acquisition may also provide diversification benefits (e.g. geographic, product or service,
customers, etc.)

• This often allows exposure to growing markets or businesses which may not be presently within
the field of expertise of the acquirer

Section 3

What makes M&A financially attractive?


Company value—key principles

Company value can be Market capitalisation—represents the equity value of a firm


expressed in two ways

Market Shares Share


capitalisation = outstanding x price

Enterprise value—represents total firm value (both debt and equity)

Net debt Hybrids


Enterprise Market
value = (total debt + capitalisation + (i.e. convertible
less cash) notes)

– major shareholders may – scheme of arrangement vs. takeover?
have leverage
– friendly vs. hostile?
• Potential interlopers – do we need to conduct due diligence?
– who might we have to compete with?
• What price do we offer?
• Funding – start low then increase? knock out bid?
– timing
• Should we acquire a pre-bid stake?
– ability to execute
• How might the target respond?

Valuation methodologies

Company valuation is a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation


critical part of M&A advice • Has a strong theoretical basis and is commonly used in specific industries (e.g., mining) and in the valuation of
and there are three start up projects where near term earnings may be volatile
principal methodologies …
• Assumes that the value of a company is equal to the risk adjusted present value of its future cash flows

• Determines net present value based on free cash flow, terminal value and cost of capital
… however, remember
that valuation is an art not Relative valuation
a science and no single
• Most appropriate for businesses with a substantial operating history and a consistent earnings trend that is
valuation method will sufficiently stable to be indicative of ongoing earnings potential
provide the “right” answer
• Involves capitalising earnings based on comparative trading or transaction multiples and gives an indication of
value relative to a company’s peers

Leveraged Buyout (LBO) analysis

• Leveraged buyouts are acquisitions funded with a significant proportion of debt (leverage) and little equity

• LBO analysis determines returns based on company cash flows, acquisition price and optimal leverage

• It is used almost exclusively for financial sponsor or private equity transactions

19
DCF valuation

DCF valuation is the Model layout and presentation


process of discounting • Models need to be thoughtfully constructed. This is important to ensure model integrity and the ability to
future cash flows convey information to the appropriate users. Criteria for good model design include
– accuracy
– flexibility
– ease of understanding
• Key components of a model include
– summary page
– assumptions (e.g., depreciation policy, product price, volume growth, tax rate)
– NPV outcome
– NPV sensitivities
– financial statements (profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow)
– detailed calculations
– identify key variables
– start from base year and project forward for each variable
• Keep it simple!

20
DCF valuation

Sensible cash flow Forecasting future cash flows


forecasts are the key to • A cash flow forecast should be prepared on an assumed time frame
any DCF valuation (do not forecast out too long because estimates may become unreliable, generally 10 years is acceptable)
• Although there are several variations of cash flow that can be used, in order
to value a firm as a whole, it is common to use the Free Cash Flow available
to both debt and equity holders

Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF)


Description Represents the free cash flow available to all members of the firm including both debt
holders and equity holders
Discount rate Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
Cash flow
EBIT
calculation
- Tax
- Increase in working capital
- Capex
+ Depreciation
= FCFF
• Future estimates should be driven by a set of growth and margin assumptions which will help deliver the future
EBIT. These drivers should be based on historical, industry and economic data as well as any published
management guidance
• Cash flows are then discounted back to present value using the relevant discount rate (i.e., WACC)

21
DCF valuation

Terminal value
• A second component of a DCF valuation is the terminal value

• This represents the value of the firm in perpetuity and is based around a perpetual growth rate (usually equal to
the growth rate of the economy in which the company principally operates)

• The formula for calculating the terminal value is

Final cashflow x (1 + g)
TV =
WACC – g

• The terminal value should then be discounted back using the appropriate discount rate

Calculating value per share


• Combining the present value of future cash flows together with the present value of the terminal value returns
the total enterprise value for the firm
• Deducting the net debt (total debt less cash) from enterprise value allows for
a firm’s equity value to be calculated, which in turn can be used to calculate fair value per share

22
DCF valuation

What is WACC?
Target w eightings in optimal
Equity risk
• A key component of any DCF calculation is the capital structure

23
Relative valuation

• Relative valuation is based on the principle of capitalising earnings based on comparable trading or
transaction multiples
• Multiples can be applied to a number of different earnings (or cash flow) measures including EBITDA, EBIT or
NPAT. EBITDA often allows a comparison between many different companies as it is not affected by differences
in the treatment of depreciation and amortisation or capital structure choices
• Multiples are an attractive valuation tool because they are easy to compute, however they are static in nature
• Common multiples include
– Enterprise Value / EBITDA (EV / EBITDA)
– Enterprise Value / EBIT (EV / EBIT)
– Market Capitalisation / NPAT (P / E)
• When using a multiple for valuation purposes, care should be taken to ensure that the assumptions and
circumstances underlying the multiple are clearly understood
• It is also important to ensure that companies with comparable operations are selected (quality of comparables is
more important than quantity)

Takeover structures—scheme vs. off-market takeover

There are two main ways Off-market takeover offer Scheme of arrangement
Description • Not only a “hostile” structure—can be efficient for • Requires Target board support, so only possible
to implement a agreed deals if “friendly”
“takeover”—an • Offer to all shareholders with statutory obligation • Bidder and Target sign an implementation
off-market offer and a under Chapter Six on bidder to proceed agreement to initiate the process which is subject
• Offer may be conditional, but no to Court approval
scheme of arrangement
self-defeating conditions • ASIC must confirm no objections to scheme
Timetable • Timetable regulated by Corporations Act • Timetable largely driven by Corporations Act
• Ultimate length subject to acceptances and and Court
compulsory acquisition process • More certain timetable than offer
Documentation • Bidder’s statement must contain all • Target takes primary responsibility for
material information Scheme Booklet
• Target’s statement must include Board’s • ASIC has a 14 day review before the Booklet is
recommendation and all material information presented to the Court
Independent • Independent expert’s report required if—(a) bidder holds more than 30% of target, or
expert (b) common directors
• But, in any case, frequently used by targets as defence strategy or to support a scheme
Compulsory • 90% of all shares, and • Of those shareholders who attend and vote at the
acquisition • 75% of the securities that the bidder offered meeting—50% in number, and 75% in value
to acquire
Deal protection • Bidder subject to statutory obligation to proceed • Lack of statutory requirement to proceed has seen
with bid some foreign bidders walk away from schemes
with minimal consequence
• Break fees and minimal conditions the
key protection
Other • Scope to structure conditions that a Court may • Perception of agreed deal potentially reduces third
considerations object to under a Scheme and to change terms and party / interloper interest
conditions during offer period • Flexibility in structuring complex transactions,
• Investors rarely accept conditional offers— though limited flexibility post first Court hearing
conditions may be “dropped” during offer • “All or nothing” outcome—100% shares acquired
if Scheme approved or no shares acquired

Offer level determinants

The value of a takeover What determines offer level?


offer is a key determinant • The value of 100% of a company may differ from the value of its portfolio interests
in the outcome of a deal,
• The owner of 100% of a company has direct access to cash flow and taxable income, controls the board of
as well as the reaction directors, appoints senior management and controls all investment, financing and strategic decisions
of the target board
and shareholders • As a result, a premium, known as a control premium, is offered when a company makes a bid for 100% of
another company

• Empirical evidence of this premium is observed in the level of takeover premia and in the Australian market
this is, on average, in the range of 20–40%

– it should be noted that this is not the sole determinant of the quantum of takeover offer and computing
an offer value is not as simple as adding a 30% premium to a base case valuation or the last traded price
of the target

• The offer price will be based upon

– valuation

– the strategic significance of the target

– expected synergy levels

– ability of the bidder to increase future value through improved operational processes and capital structure

– other parties competing to acquire the target

– growth profile of the target
