Thanks. What I'm trying to figure out is how FIs think about and describe cost and/or revenue synergies. Like everything in FIG, the terminology appears to be a little different from what it is in every other vertical. So far it seems like M&A synergies are described as "cost saves/savings" and expressed as a percentage of target, acquiror, and/or combined non-interest expense. Thoughts...?

 

That’s correct, especially for depositories. Almost all depository deal IPs will state what % of cost savings on non-interest expense the acquirer management team will be able to achieve. 30-35% is pretty common. Lower when there’s less geographical overlap and higher in MOE type transactions. Most of it comes from branch closures in overlap / less desirable locations as well as back office support. Eliminating the target senior management team can also be a significant cost save
