Q

What is Goodwill?

A

The excess in purchase price over Fair Market Value

e.g. Youre buying a company on the BV, however you pay the Market value. Post-asset & liability write-ups may not be enough to get to MV. So you add the residual under Goodwill to allow for Balance sheet parity

Q

What is an M&A Analysis or Merger Consequence Analysis?

A

The analysis looks at the impact or financial position of the buyer from three points of views

1) The income statement (EPS accretion/dilution)
2) The Balance Sheet (proforma leverage/capitalization)
3) Equity Ownership (proforma ownership)

In addition, it helps determine the price the acquirer is able to pay, and the optimal form of consideration in terms of Cash, Stock, or a combination of the two

29
Q

How can you tell whether a deal will be Acr/Dilutive?

A

If weighted cost of acquision is LESS than the sellers yield it will be ACCRETIVE

30
Q

Company A with a PE of 25x
Company B w/ PE of 15x
Accretive?

A

If its all stock, find the recipricol
A = 4%
B = 6%

ACCRETIVE

31
Q

How would you calculate Equity Purchase Price?

A

Equity value * (1 + Premium Paid%)

Eq. Value = Diluted * Share price

It is the BARE MINIMUM needed to purchase the target, so the Purchase Enterprise Value is not necessarily the the ‘real price’

32
Q

What is the Cost of Equity in a M&A Analysis?

A

BUYERS net income/ BUYERS Equity value

OR the recipricol of the Buyers P/E multiple

600m * .33% / Buyers Share price

If the stock price is higher, it will issue less shares

34
Q

What does the ‘yield’ represent?

A

How much company A gets in NET INCOME for every dollar it spends to acquire company B

35
Q

What are the accretive dilutive rules for a deal using cash, stock, and debt?

Sellers Yield > Buyers Cost = ACCRETIVE

Sellers Yield < Buyers Cost = DILUTIVE

35
Q

What are the accretive dilutive rules for a deal using cash, stock, and debt?

A

Sellers Yield > Buyers Cost = ACCRETIVE

Sellers Yield < Buyers Cost = DILUTIVE

36
Q

Whats the rule for all stock deals?

A

Buyers PE>Sellers PE (at PURCHASE price) = Accretive

Buyers PE

37
Q
