Acquisition of GSI Commerce • Closed deal on June 17, 2011 for $2.4b in cash & debt • Seen as a way to challenge Amazon • Problem: Divested large chunks of GSI • Financials near impossible to adequately combine • More realistic to use growth rates from 2012 to 2013 only • Aligned with many analysts’ predictions • Rebranded to eBay Enterprises
How to handle other acquisitions? • Buying small tech companies is part of eBay’s business model • “We expect to continue to purchase assets & businesses” • Many are private = lack of F/S info • Majority financed by cash • Acquired Braintree in late 2013 for $713m • Price allocation still not complete • Summary: Most acquisitions do not effect F/S comparability/valuation
Forecast Assumptions • Sales Growth • Latest conference call projected 12%-16% over the next 4 years • Valueline projects 14.5% over the next 5 years • YahooFinance projects 13.5% %growth over the next 5 years
Forecast Assumption • Conclusion: • 2014-2018: 14% • 2019: 12% • 2020: 10% • 2021: 7.5% • 2022: 5.5% • 2023: 5.5% • Thereafter: 5% • Compared to S&P 500, analysts project much higher growth rates for the industry and eBay
Other Assumptions • Expenses • Kept most expenses as a % of Revenue • % of Revenue has been pretty consistent over the years • Balance Sheet Items • Used % of revenue from previous two years to estimate future
Steps to Forecast • Calculate future growth rates • Forecast each line item for Balance Sheet and Income Statement • Calculate Enterprise Profit Margin and Enterprise Asset Turnover Forecasts • Use Common Size Analysis (% of Sales) • Calculate Enterprise Value using 3 models • Adjust for Date • Make Recommendation
Calculate EPM Forecasted EPM initially decreased but recovered as steady state approached
3 Valuation Models Sales Growth after 2023 = 5% WACC = 10.1% from Bloomberg
Adjusting Date of Value Estimate Estimated Value using 12/31/13 Balance Sheet Date Adjust to Today (4/23/14): V(4/23/14) = V(12/31/13)*(1+r(ent))(113/365) V(4/23/14) = 58,363*(1+.101)(113/365) V(4/23/14) = $60,128 Mid-Year Adjustment: $60,128 * (1+.101)(0.5) =$63,091
