RBI in their recent report „Current and Finance 2008‟ has laid down the major issues/challenges
for the banking sector in near future. These are:
(i) Mobilizing resources to sustain & accelerate the current economic growth momentum.
(ii) Implementation of Basel II norms by foreign banks in India and Indian banks having
operational presence abroad from March 31, 2008 and by other scheduled commercial
banks by March 31, 2009.
(iii) Issues involved in for entrance of foreign banks is due for review in April 2009.
Amidst opposition from sections against mergers in the banking sector, the Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) has made a clear case for consolidation among banks.
In a latest study of banking mergers in the post reform era, the RBI said that the banks have
registered significant gains in efficiency and profitability after mergers.
Further, the four public sector banks have made greater efficiency gains than their private sector
peers, the RBI said, after analyzing seven merger cases of relatively large banks. In the case of
the Punjab National Bank, the Union Bank of India, the Oriental Bank of Commerce and the
Bank of Baroda, change in the average return on assets (ROA) during the post- merger period
over pre- merger period was positive and statistically significant.
As in the case, IDBI bank has shown keenness in acquiring another bank either in public or
private sector as a part of their strategy for increasing their branch network, customer base,
improved technology usage and product portfolio. Corporation Bank having wide branch
network, superior technology usage and wide product base appear as a suitable target for the
acquisition.

Financial Statement Analysis of Acquiring IDBI Bank and Target Corporation Bank
„CAMEL‟ model is used for the quantitative analysis to determine the financial and competitive
position of the two banks. „CAMEL‟ is banking supervisory and evaluation model comprises of
analysis of various ratios under the heads of „C’apital Adequacy, „A’sset Quality, „M’anagement
Efficiency, „E’arnings and „L’iquidity. Ratios are also determined for 25 other listed public
sector banks along with IDBI and Corporation Bank to determine their sector position under
various heads. Results of the analysis are as follows:

The regulatory framework for M&A‟s in the banking sector is laid down in the Banking
Regulation (BR) Act, 1949. The Act provides for two types of amalgamations, viz., (i) voluntary
and (ii) compulsory. For voluntary amalgamation, Section 44A of the BR Act provides that the
scheme of amalgamation of a banking company with another banking company and is required
to be approved individually by the board of directors of both the banking companies and
subsequently by the two-thirds shareholders (in value) of both the banking companies.
The statutory framework for the amalgamation of public sector banks, viz., nationalized banks,
State Bank of India and its subsidiary banks, is, however, quite different since the foregoing
provisions of the BR Act do not apply to them. As regards the nationalized banks, the Banking
Companies (Acquisition and Transfer of Undertakings) Act, 1970 and 1980, or the Bank
Nationalization Acts authorize the Central Government under Section 9(1)(c) to prepare or make,
after consultation with the Reserve Bank, a scheme, inter alia, for the transfer of undertaking of a
„corresponding new bank‟ (i.e., a nationalized bank) to another „corresponding new bank‟ or for
the transfer of whole or part of any banking institution to a corresponding new bank. Unlike the
sanction of the schemes by the Reserve Bank under Section 44A of the BR Act, the scheme
framed by the Central Government is required, under Section 9(6) of the Bank Nationalization
Acts, to be placed before the both Houses of Parliament.

We have given the explanation of Corporation Bank below. Similarly on the same model, we
have calculated the value of IDBI Bank as Rs92.37 and is shown in the excel sheet. Below is the
explanation of the sheet.
The cost of equity for the high growth period is estimated using a beta of 1.16 for Corp. bank
(based upon the return of stock on index and returns on index), the Indian rupee risk free rate of
8% (i.e. yield of 10 year Govt. Bonds) and a market risk premium of 8.21% (calculated using last
8 year returns of NIFTY from Apr01-Mar31 every year and it comes out to be 16.21%, thereby
“market premium= market return- Risk free rate” i.e. 16.21%-8%=8.21%)
Cost of equity in high growth using CAPM Model= 8% + 1.16(8.21%) = 17.52%
After year 7, we will assume that the beta will decline towards 0.8 in stable growth (which
will occur after the 15th year) and that the risk premium for India will also drop to 5% (reflecting
our assumptions that India will become a more stable economy).
Cost of equity in stable growth = 4% + 0.8 (5%) = 8.00%
We will assume that competition will pick up after year 9, pushing the return on equity down to
the stable period cost of equity of 12.00% by the 15th year. The payout ratio in stable growth can
8|P a g e
Anschluss Case Deliverables 2008
then be estimated using the stable growth rate of 5% and using industry averages for ROE to be
12%:
Stable period payout ratio = 1- Expected Growth rate/ ROE = 1- 8%/17.5% = 58.33%~ 60%
Table below summarizes the assumptions about payout ratios and expected growth rates and also
shows the estimated earnings and dividends per share each year for the next 9 years:
During the transition phase, all of the inputs change in equal annual installments from the high
growth period values to stable growth period values. Since the costs of equity change over time,
the cumulated cost of equity is used to calculate the present value of dividends.
The terminal price at the end of year 15 can be calculated based upon the earnings per share in
year 15, the stable growth rate of 5%, a cost of equity of 12.00% and the payout ratio of 60.00%
To get the present value, we divide by the cumulated cost of equity in year 15 by terminal value
to get Rs 175.78:
The components of value are as follows:

2. EV/EBITDA Multiple:
Enterprise value (EV) is total company value (the market value of debt, common equity, and
preferred equity) minus the value of cash and investments. Also,
EV= Market Capitalization+ Market Value of Debt- Cash & near Cash
Numerator is enterprise value, EV/EBITDA is a valuation indicator for the overall company
rather than common stock the analyst can assume that the business's debt and preferred stock (if
any) are efficiently priced.
Calculations provided in the spreadsheet under the sheet multiples valuation reflect the current
market scenario (Low Market Capitalization) of equity thereby giving depressed valuations for
both the banks (IDBI: Rs53.48 & Corp.: 209.60). Both the values are eroding the net worth of
the company and does not justify the real worth of both the set of companies.

Considering the credit crisis in the global financial markets, among the various modes by which
IDBI may finance the deal would be through all swap deal. The reasons being:
1. IDBI having a very high gearing of almost 6.46 (D/E) makes it incapable of raising any cash
from the market. Hence, it would not be possible to go for all cash deal.
2. With the current credit crisis, it will be almost near impossible for IDBI bank to create an
Leverage buyout. Further, traditionally govt. banks in India, they have never followed these
methods. Jounal
3. An all swap or swap-cash deal is more then possible thereby maintain regulatory requirements
of over 50% Govt. holding in any scenario.

6. Conclusion:
According to us an all swap deal will allow IDBI to use the client as well as asset base in a better
way, also by having Corp. Bank, it will be able to deleverage itself in the current credit crisis
scenario where most leverage banks fall the fastest.
The all swap deal will give approximately Corp. bank a share of 39.35% in IDBI Bank. The
swap ratio of 3.27 being calculated above using both the Book Value as well as DDM prices.
The approximate deal size obtained on the basis of the Nov14 ,2008 current prices is 4335.4
