Why unlever and relever beta?
Unlevering beta removes the effects of financial leverage on a company. You want the systematic risk associated with a specific industry and the company’s comparables instead of the whole market, then you want to adjust it for company specific risk to incorporate the effects of leverage.
Target company balance sheet has assets of 150 and liabilities of 50. You acquire this company for a 30% premium (all cash), what happens to the acquirer’s balance sheet?
30% premium to 100 book value= 130
Assets +150, cash -130, Goodwill +30, liabiliites +50
A company has negative cash flow in perpetuity. Can it have a positive valuation?
Yes, it could be a startup. Thus, you could use comparables or precedent transactions that would derive a positive valuation. Also, you’d have to consider the company’s liquidation value.
You purchase a bond at 80% of par. The bond has a 10% coupon. You sell it at the end of 3 years at a 10% premium to par. The discount rate is 0%. What is the year 1 cash-on-cash return? What is the total profit over the 3-year investment life? What is the total ROI (not compounded or annualized)?
Purchase price= $800 (assuming $1000 par)
Coupon= $100
Year 1 cash on cash return? (100/800 = 12.5%)
Total Profit over 3 years= 100+100+100+300 = 600
What is the ROI= 600/800=75%
You start a company today and put $100 of your own money into it. What is the enterprise value?
0
100 of your own money - 100 cash = 0
Would an equity investment be included in EV?
What determines whether or not something should be added to or subtracted from EV?
No. Equity investments could be treated similar to cash, thus reducing the company’s EV given the ability to reduce debt.
Added:
Represents other investors or funding sources
Subtract:
Not related to company’s core business (investments, cash, real estate)
What is the primary difference between valuinga company using comparable multiples versus using a DCF?
Comparables uses relative valuation
DCF is an intrinsic valuation. It projects further into the future (perpetuity method, FCF projections, etc)
- How do you derive the savings amount from NOLs?
- How would you value NOLs in a DCF model?
- Reduce NOL from taxable income, multiply new taxable income by tax rate, then subtract those taxes from original pre tax income to derive new NI. Then, compare what taxes would have been without the NOL to taxes with NOLs included
- NOLs increase cash flow, thus I would add the amount of tax savings to the FCF each year
Or
I could simply take the PV of future tax savings and add that at the end and discount it at Ke. However, when going from EV to equity value, I would treat the NOLs as cash.
Is the resulting depreciation/amortization from write ups in an acquisition tax deductible?
No, hence the deferred tax liability
What happens to the combined balance sheet in an acquisition?
- Target’s assets and liabilities added
- Remove target’s equity and add new stock issued
- Add new debt amount
- Add write ups and resulting DTL
- Remove from cash/retained earnings transaction expenses
- Remove target’s Goodwill and add new Goodwill

A PE invested $100M in equity with 20% IRR. After 3 years, how much money would it make?
(X/100)^(1/3) - 1 = .2 (20%)
Solve for x. Get $172.8. Make $72.8 million.
If tax law boosts profitability of companies - what will happen with that money?
- Share buybacks
- Pay dividends
- Pay down debt
- Invest in growth achieving projects
- Conduct M&A
- Invest in securities
A/R increases by $5M, how would this change your valuation?
It would increase your working capital, thus reduce your cash flow because you have not received the cash. Thus, it would reduce your overall valuation.
EBIT increases $5 x (1-20%), but then cash decreases $5, thus it is an overall FCF reduction. The total valuation impact is that amount discounted.
What are all of the factors that affect an IRR?
Entry equity, exit multiple, leverage, time, management, CapEx
(Exit equity/Entry Equity)^(1/n) - 1
Acquirer Info:
P/E 25x
Cost of debt: 8%
Tax rate: 40%
Do you use debt or equity to finance acquisition?
Stock: 1/25 = 4%
Debt: 8% x (1-40%) = 4.8%
Use equity because it is a “cheaper” form of currency. You’re using a currency that yields less to pay for an acquisiton, thus you’re giving up less
You’re purchasing a company with $30M EBITDA. You’re paying 10x multiple and financing 50% with debt. After 1 year, you have fired 1,000 employees making $10/hour, and will exit at the same multiple you purchased for. What is your IRR?
$300m purchase price
$150 debt, $150 equity
1,000 x 10/hr x 40hrs/week x 50 weeks= $20m
New EBITDA= $30 + $20= $50
New value= $50 x 10 = $500
New Equity = $500 - $150 = $350
IRR = (350/150)^(1/1) - 1= 133%
Under what circumstances would an LBO not work?
Unstable cash flows, poor management team, large CapEx
When would a company’s NOPAT be lower than its unlevered FCF?
- Adds back depreciation expense
- Receives significant cash from AR, incurs but does not pay AP
- Does not use cash for CapEx
What is the deferred tax liability formula resulting during an acquisition?
What tax rate?
DTL = Sum of write ups x statutory tax rate
Acqurier’s statutory rate
If I were to give you $1 per day, how much would you pay me?
$1/WACC
Figure out WACC. Use some cost of debt % and average historical S&P return
Name the 5 key changes from the 2017 tax act
- Corporate tax rate decreased from 35% to 21%
- One time transtion tax on foreign earnings
- Interest deduction capped at 30% of EBITDA
- Use of NOLs limited to 80% of taxable income
- Full expensing of CapEx for tax purposes
What is evaluated when determining the level of debt financing a company can attain?
Debt and coverage ratios
Industry risk
Company’s cash flows/ability to service debt
Purchase a machine costing 2,400 with a 3 year useful life (no salvage value). Machine generates $3,000 in revenue per year. Financial reporting depreciation is straightline over 3 years. Tax return depreciation is straightline over 2 years. 40% tax rate.
What is the cumulative DTL in Years 1, 2, and 3?
Year 1- 160
Year 2- 320
Year 3- 0 (All of DTL reversed)
Two companies have the same EBITDA, different P/E multiples. What could be the reason?
One company could have a lot of CapEx, thus leading to higher depreciation. Or, the capital structures of the companies could be significantly different, thus one company incurring higher interest expense than the other
In strategic M&A, what kind of synergies would companies look for? (Specific synergies)
Revenue and Cost (most probable) synergies
Cost:
- Overhead reduction
- Economies of scale
- Production/distribution synergies
- Real estate
Revenue:
- Marketing/complementary products
Your analyst comes to you and provides you these numbers for companies in the same industry. What are the 3 issues that you see?
Check to make sure the multiples make sense:
- Mutiples get higher as you move down the P&L since there is less income (same amount over a decreasing number leads to a higher multiple)
Revenue X < EBITDA X < EBIT X
What is sum-of-the parts analysis? When is it typically used?
Valuing a company based on its aggregate divisions if they were spun off or acquired by other companys. It values each division and then sums the values to derive a total EV.
Typically used when a company has many different segments that operate across a multitude of industries
Your analyst hands you a DCF model that shows a stock price of $40. The current market price is $15. Walk me through what you do next?
- Check 52 week high/low
- Check equity research targets
- If neither check out, review DCF inputs. Check WACC and terminal value inputs (growth rate assumptions or terminal multiple)
