  4. 3 Basic Types of Strategic Acquisition There are common elements to all three. However, each one requires a different integration strategy • Horizontal– buying a competitor • Vertical – buying a supplier or customer • Diagonal – buying into a new market

  5. Strategic Acquisitions • Operating Synergy –Achieve Economies of Scale • Inefficient Management–Realise a return on investment by buying a company with less efficient management and improving or replacing them • Market Power–Increase market share • Financial Synergy –Achieve lower cost of capital by smoothing cashflow and increasing debt capacity • Undervaluation –Take advantage of low price • Obtain Listing –Acquire or reverse into Public company

  6. Routes to Acquisition • Proactive • Identify, approach and court • Can take time but reduces risk • Can result in paying a premium • Reactive • Respond to approaches from Agents, Brokers, Advertisements, etc. • Can be very quick • Can obtain realistic valuation

  7. Net assets • Price earnings comparisons • Hidden value, synergies, streamlining and cost savings (economies of scale) • HISTORICAL EARNINGS or POTENTIAL EARNINGS! • Quality of products and services • Customer relationships • Positioning relative to competitors • Macro picture; size of markets How Do You Value a Target Company ? • Financial Yardsticks • Commercial Yardsticks

  8. Acquisition StatisticsDemonstrate that of Acquisitions FAIL! 60% of Mergers FAIL! 75% Not improved in 35 Years since acquisition research was first conducted

  9. Unclear Acquisition Strategy • Insufficient Pre-acquisition Planning • Inadequate Due Diligence • Poorly Handled Implementation Why Do Acquisitions Fail

  10. Do Not Acquire for theWrong Reasons • Acquire for the sake of acquiring(Macho Buying) • “Sexy” Sector to be in • Highly profitable but does not fit your strategy

  11. Do you have the human and financial resources to complete the acquisition and implementation? • Structure of deal • Styles and cultures, key factors driving business • Due Diligence process • Financial Analysis • Processes and systems • Effect on staff, customers, suppliers and markets • Degree of integration • How quickly integration can be completed • Effect on business • Communication • Advisors – legal and financial – fee arrangements Pre-Acquisition Planning Points to consider for the pre-acquisition planning are:

  12. Why Carry out Due Diligence • Reduce risk • Input to valuation • Improve your negotiation power • Help planning for post-deal development and integration • Confirm the logic of the deal Are there any skeletons to be discovered?

  13. Areas to Cover duringDue Diligence • Legal • Financial • Business/Commercial Risks • Market • Customers • Management and Staff • Synergies

  14. Implementation “Most acquisitions fail to deliver expected results due to ineffective integration management” Although one individual may be assigned as Project Manager, the best post-merger plans are ultimately created by Groups. These Groups should consist of senior managers, key employees (from both companies), as well as external advisors.

  15. Meeting aggressive deadlines • Achieving tough financial targets • Restructuring quietly with limited information • Merging IT systems and processes • Retaining key employees • Maintaining adequate communication • Managing relocations and consolidations Implementation Management challenges

  16. Are plans consistent with logic of deal? • Are budgets clear and assigned? • Are there business plans to cover both short-term and long-term? • Has the planning process involved the staff who are affected? • Do the plans take into account operational and cultural realities of the two companies? Implementation Key Considerations:

  17. Are the plans supported with appropriate resources? • Do the plans specify measures and milestones of progress? • Have the plans been distributed to appropriate parties? • Is there a program for communicating plans? • Communicate more than usual. Keep people informed as everyone is hungry for information. Tell them how it is. Implementation Key Considerations: Don’t promise that things will stay the same. They Won’t!

  18. Human Resources • Financial and Tangible Resources • Reputation and Other Intangible Resources, eg Branding • Processes • Management Systems • Compensation Plans • Information Technology • Commitments to Customers and Suppliers • Commitments to Shareholders • Commitments to Employees Implementation Implementation will encompass the integration of a wide range of factors including:
