TOPICS:
MERGERS – The combination of two or more companies in which only one firm
survives as a legal entity.
ACQUISITION is one company taken over by the other.
RESTRUCTURING - Corporate restructuring is a corporate action taken to
significantly modify the structure or the operations of the company. This usually
happens when a company faces significant problems and is in financial jeopardy.
Corporate restructuring is essential to eliminate all possible financial troubles and
improve the performance of the company.

RATIONALE FOR M & A AND RESTRUCTURING
2. Tax Considerations
Tax considerations have stimulated a number of mergers.
For example, a profitable firm in the highest tax bracket could
acquire a firm with large accumulated tax losses. These losses could
then be turned into immediate tax savings rather than carried
forward and used in the future.

4. Improved Management
Some companies are inefficiently managed, with the result that
profitability is lower than it might otherwise be. Restructuring can provide
better management.
5. Information Effect
Value could also occur if new information is conveyed as a result of
restructuring. If the stock is believed to be undervalued, a positive signal
may occur which causes the share price to rise.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE
Economies of Scale may be possible with a merger of two companies. It is the benefits of
size in which the average cost declines as volume increases.
Economies can be realized with a HORIZONTAL MERGER, combining two companies in
the same line of business.
VERTICAL MERGER occurs when two or more firms, operating at different levels within
an industry's supply chain, merge operations. Most often the logic behind the merger is to
increase synergies created by merging firms that would be more efficient operating as one.
CONGLOMERATE MERGER occurs when unrelated enterprises combine.
PURCHASE OF ASSETS OR COMMON STOCK
Without considering the time value of money, this project will create a total
cash return of $180,000 after five years, higher than the initial investment of
$150,000, which seems to be profitable. However, after discounting the cash
flow of each period, the present value of the return is only $146,142, lower
than the initial investment of $150,000. It suggests the company should not
invest in the project.
RELATIVE VALUATION TECHNIQUES
Cost Approach
The cost approach, which is not as commonly used in corporate
finance, looks at what it actually costs or would cost to rebuild
the business. This approach ignores any value creation or cash
flow generation and only looks at things through the lens of
“cost = value.”
VALUE OF A FIRM
A firm’s value, also known as Firm Value (FV), Enterprise Value (EV). It is
an economic concept that reflects the value of a business. It is the value
that a business is worthy of at a particular date.
Theoretically, it is an amount that one needs to pay to buy/take over a
business entity. Like an asset, the value of a firm can be determined on the
basis of either book value or market value. But generally, it refers to the
market value of a company.
CALCULATING A FIRM’S VALUE
The value of a firm is basically the sum of claims of its creditors and
shareholders. Therefore, one of the simplest ways to measure it is by
adding the market value of its debt, equity, and minority interest. Cash and
cash equivalents would then be deducted to arrive at the net value.
EV = market value of common equity + market value of preferred
equity + market value of debt + minority interest – cash and
investments.
CALCULATING A FIRM’S VALUE ( FREE CASH FLOWS)
Another sound approach for computing the value of a firm is to determine the
present value of its future operating free cash flows. The idea is to draw a
comparison between two similar firms. The firm whose present value of future
operating cash flows is better than the other is more likely to attract a higher
valuation from the investors.
Formula for Computing Operating Free Cash Flow (OFCF )
OFCF = EBIT (1-T) + Depreciation – CAPEX – working capital – any other
assets
CALCULATING A FIRM’S VALUE ( FREE CASH FLOWS)
The firm’s book value is its value as reflected in its ‘books’ or financial
statements. It is the difference between the assets and liabilities of a firm as
per its balance sheet. It is the shareholder’s equity in the balance sheet. This
is the true worth of a business when its liabilities are net off from its assets.
The market value of a company, also known as market capitalization, is its
value as reflected in the stock exchange. It is calculated by multiplying a
company’s outstanding share by its current market price.
CAPITAL MARKET EFFICIENCY
Example
The Time lag from information dissemination to change in security
prices.
Example: Suppose a company X announces that it will have an
increase in the price of its products and this has an immediate effect
on the security’s price then we say that the market is efficient.
