Values for merged company
Hello everybody,
Suppose these companies are to merge:
Company 1 (acquirer): Market cap = 3bn, EV = 2.85bn; EBITDA = 0.15bn
Company 2 (target): Market cap = 0.523bn, Net debt = 0.058bn; EBITDA = 0.041bn; premium to be paid 30%;
Transaction will be 100% debt financed.
What's the merged company's Market cap, EBITDA and net debt?
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks!
Edited:
You'd need to know more about the synergies, but generally speaking the target shareholders get about 30% of the PV of the synergies, in the form of a takeover premium. Which in your example happens to be 30%. So pro forma: market cap is $4.046 billion ($3bn acquiror + $523m target + $523m est'd PV of synergies), net debt $64.9m, EV of $4.1bn.
Trailing EV / EBITDA at close will be 21.5x, which is artificially high b/c the trailing EBITDA doesn't reflect any synergies.
Thanks! How did you obtain 1046m? You multiplied 30% by which number? And how did you get the EBITDA figure?
When a company buys another company, it's usually because those two companies together can generate more cash flow than the two of them can independently. That stream of *extra* cash flows, in perpetuity, has a certain present value. That PV is divvied up between acquiror and target shareholders via the takeover premium. This is highly unscientific but a rule of thumb on who gets how much of the value of the synergies is that 30% goes to the target shareholders and 70% to the acquiror shareholders.
So in your example if the acquiror is paying a 30% premium on the target's market cap of $523 million, that implies that the present value of the synergies is also (coincidentally) $523 million, plus the acquiror's market cap ($3 billion) plus the target's unaffected market cap ($523 million).
What about the EBITDA figure? Is it just the EBITDA of target + EBITDA of acquirer?
