2. MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

A. Exchange Ratio
Exchange ratios would be based on core fundamental factors for both companies,
.i.e. EPS, MPS, NAV per share, intrinsic value per share, etc. These are favorable
financial factors .i.e. higher the better. In such cases the exchange ratio is calculated
as follows:
1) Based on EPS : EPS of Target
EPS of Acquirer

2) Based on market price : MP of Target


MP of Acquirer
 However, if the exchange ratio is based on an adverse financial factor, for
example, NPA ( Non performing assets), number of law suits, etc. , then the
exchange ratio is calculated as follows:

1) Based on NPA : NPA of Acquirer


NPA of Target

Exchange Ratio to Maintain a Financial Factor:

In order to maintain a fundamental factor to be the same pre and post the merger, the
exchange ratio should be based on the respective fundamental factor of both
companies. This ratio will ensure that the number of shares get adjusted in such or way
that there is no dilution / accretion (increase) in that specific fundamental factor.

For eg. , in order to maintain the same pre and post merger EPS, we should offer the
exchange ratio based on EPS.

B. Calculation of POST – MERGER MPS


Generally, we calculate the post - merger MPS based on assumption – 1 or assumption
– 2, However, in cases where a differential growth is given, on account of the merger,
we should directly calculate the post – merger MPS and not assume.

7
Bhavik Chokshi ( 9082810221/7977299310) www.benchmarxacademy.com

Assumption 1:
P/E Ratio of the acquirer remains constant.
In such a case, Post merger P/E = Pre Merger P/E
Therefore, Post merger MPS = Post merger EPS x Post Merger Shares

Assumption 2:
P/E Ratio adjusted to weighted average PE
Weighted Average P/E Ratio can be calculated taking the total earnings (PAT) as
weights.

Steps to calculate POST – MERGER MPS when different growth rates are given:

1) Calculate current Ke based on current growth using Gordon’s formula i.e.

Ke = D1 + g
Po
2) Calculate the intrinsic value of the target using the revised growth rates i.e.

Po = D1
Ke – g
In absence of information, Ke would remain the same.

3) Post – merger MPS can be calculated as follows :

Pre – merger market capital of acquirer XX


(+) Intrinsic value of the target XX
Post – merger market capital of the combined entity XX
(÷) Post – merger no. of shares XX
Post – merger MPS XX

C. EVALUATION OF MERGERS BASED ON DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW


TECHNIQUE

1) Calculate the present value of free cash flows, that will arise after the merger (from
an acquirer’s prospective)

PV of (FCF1 + FCF2 +………..FCF∞ ) XX


(+) PV of (Cost Savings / Synergies) XX
(+) PV of disposal of unrequired assets) XX

8
Bhavik Chokshi ( 9082810221/7977299310) www.benchmarxacademy.com

2) Deduct the liabilities that have to be paid or are taken over on the acquisition. This
will give us the maximum purchase price (MPP).

3) If the purchase price demanded is less than the MPP, then the proposal is
acceptable to the acquirer and if the purchase price demanded is greater than the
MPP, then the proposal is not acceptable to the acquirer.

Selection of appropriate discount rate


Order of preference
1) Discount rate of the combined entity (cash flows are evaluated post – merger and
hence discount rate should also be taken post – merger).
2) If the discount rate of the combined entity is not available, we use the discount rate of
the acquirer available, we use the discount rate of the acquirer. This is because the
target’s cash flows should satisfy the minimum required rate of return of the acquirer.

D. ALTERNATIVE VALUATION TECHNIQUES


1. Comparable Company Analysis
In this case, we try to identify comparative listed companies which have a similar
business and risk. We then try to find a valuation multiple (like P/E, firm value to sales,
etc) . We then try to find the average P/E or firm value to sales.
Our company’s value can be calculated as :
Company’s PAT x Avg. Sector P/E
2. Sum of the Parts/ Break – Up Value / Chop – shop
This method is used to value multi – divisional companies. Each division is valued
separately based on comparable industry standards and the value of the entire
company will be the aggregate value of all of its divisions.

Bhavik Chokshi ( 9082810221/7977299310) www.benchmarxacademy.com

3. CORPORATE VALUATION

Total Assets−Total Liabilities−PSC


1) Net Assets Method i.e.
No.of equity shares
2) Earnings Approach
PAT + Depreciation
Value of Equity =
KE
OR

PAT + Depreciation + Interest


Value of Firm =
K0
In absence of tax rate, the above number can be taken to be the same as EBITDA.
The earnings to be taken in the above calculation would be the recurring earnings
i.e. after removing the impact of extra-ordinary and non-recurring items.

3) Multiple Approach
The value (capitalisation) can be calculated by multiplying an appropriate earning
number (like PAT) with an appropriate valuation multiple (like P/E) i.e.
Value of Equity = PAT × P/E
Value of Firm + EBITDA X EV/EBITDA

4) Valuation of a Private Company

1) Find the equity beta (levered beta) for a comparable listed company.

2) Find unlevered beta for the comparable company.


D E
Unlevered Beta (Asset Beta) (βA ) = βD × + βE ×
D+E D+E
In absence of information, βD would be taken as NIL.
E
Therefore, βA = βE ×
D+E
where βE , D, E in this step should be taken for the comparable company.
In case tax rate is given, the above formula gets modified as follows:
E
βA = βE × (1−t)
D +E

3) The comparable company (listed) and our private company operate in the same
business and hence they should have the same business risk. Therefore, the unlevered
beta can be assumed to remain the same.

4) In order to find βE of our private company, we should consider both the business risk
(reflected by unlevered beta) and the financial risk (reflected by the debt to equity ratio
of our private company). Therefore, we need to relever the beta. However, this
relevering will happen at the debt to equity ratio of our private company.

10
Bhavik Chokshi ( 9082810221/7977299310) www.benchmarxacademy.com

5) Keeping unlevered beta constant, relevered beta can ne found as follows :


E
βA = βE × (1−t)
D +E

From Missing Pvt. Co.


(step 2)

This formula can be re-arranged as :


D (1−t) +E
βE = βA ×
E
We can use the β as calculated in Step 4 in CAPM

5) Valuation Using Yield Method

Value per equity share can be calculated as:


Actual Yield
× Paid-up value per share
Expected Yield

where,
Yield (Profit)on equity shares
Actual Yield = × 100
Paid−up Equity Share Capital

The method of calculating yield (profit) is usually given in the question. However, in
case no method is given, Yield = Profit After Tax (PAT) – Preference Dividend.

Expected Yield (%) is usually the industry’s required rate of return.

5. MUTUAL FUNDS

1. Net Asset Value (NAV):

Total Assets − Total Liabilities


(Fair Value) (Fair Value)
N.A.V. =
Number of Units

2. Dividend Re-investment Plan :


In these plans, the dividend declared in each year is reinvested by the mutual fund and
the additional units are distributed to the unit holders based on the NAV prevailing on
the date of distribution.
In cases where dividends are reinvested or bonus units are allotted, it is mandatory to
calculate the return on a total investment basis (and not on a per unit basis) i.e.

Total P1 − Total P0
[(Old + New)units × NAV1 [Old Units × NAV0 ] 12
RX = × 100 ×
Total P0 N

Total Dividend
where New units =
NAV @ dividend date

3. Calculation Of Investor’s Return

The formula for return is the same as the return for a single security in the portfolio
chapter. However, in this chapter, we should always try to calculate the annualised
12
return i.e. multiplying the return by , where N = no. of months for which the mutual
N
fund unit is held.

P1 − P0 + D 12
RX = × 100 ×
P0 N

4. Dividend Equalisation

Dividend Equalisation per unit equals income earned till date by the mutual fund divided by existing
units on that date i.e.

16
Bhavik Chokshi ( 9082810221/7977299310) www.benchmarxacademy.com

Income earned till date by MF


Dividend Equalisation/unit =
Existing units on that date

A dividend equalisation charge is added to the NAV at the time of purchase by a new
investor and is also added to the redemption value at the time of redemption by an
existing investor.

Dividend Equalisation should be applied only if it is specifically asked in the question.


This adjustment is usually done against the opening NAV unless otherwise given.

Income available for distribution = Income earned + Dividend Equalisation Adjustment

5. LOAD (TRANSACTION CHARGES)

Entity Load : This should be charged from a new investor at the time of purchase and
hence it would increase the initial purchase price.

Exit Load : This is charged at the time of exit and it would reduce the sale proceeds
received at the time of exit.

Load is levied on the NAV excluding the Dividend Equalisation levy.

6. RISK MANAGEMENT
Value of Risk
VAR is a measure of risk. It tries to measure that in a normal market condition, how
much is the maximum amount that an investment might lose. The components of
VAR are:
(a) Loss amount (Standard Deviation in ₹)
(b) Confidence Interval (Generally 99%)
(c) Time Period (if nothing is given, then 1 day)

VAR = Daily Standard Deviation × Confidence Interval Value × √Number of days


(in rupees)

where,
Daliy Standard Deviation = Portfolio Value (₹) × Portfolio Standard Deviation (%)

Confidence Interval (Z) Value = 2.33 for a 99% confidence.


This can be observed from the normal distribution table.

be fully recovered back at the end of the project (Cash Inflow). Inflation should
be adjusted in any additional investments in Working Capital

should be rejected.
