The valuation process Determining a final valuation recommendation is a process of triangulation using insight from each of the relevant valuation methodologies


(1) Discounted Cash Flow Analyzes the present value of a company's free cash flow.

(2) Publicly Traded Comparable Companies Utilizes market trading multiples from publicly traded companies to derive value.

(3) Comparable Acquisition Transactions Utilizes data from M&A transactions involving similar companies.

(4) Leveraged Buy Out Used to determine range of potential value for a company based on maximum leverage capacity.

A primer: firm value vs. equity value Firm value

=

Market value of all capital invested in a business(1) (often referred to as “enterprise value” or “firm value” or “asset value”) The value of the total enterprise: market value of equity + (total debt + Capitalized Leases - Cash and Cash equivalents) + Minority Interest + Preferred Equity Total debt includes all Long term debt, Current portion of Long term debt, short term debt and overdrafts

Equity value

=


Assets

Enterprise value

Market value of the shareholders’ equity (often referred to as “offer value”) The market value of a company’s equity (shares outstanding x current stock price)

Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity

Enterprise Value

Net debt, etc.

Equity value 1

The value of debt should be a market value. It may be appropriate to assume book value of debt approximates the market value as long as the company’s credit profile has not changed significantly since the existing debt was issued. 5

Overview of DCF analysis

WACC Other topics

Discounted cash flow analysis is based upon the theory that the value of a

business is the sum of its expected future free cash flows, discounted at an appropriate rate DCF analysis is one of the most fundamental and commonly-used valuation

techniques Widely accepted by bankers, corporations and academics

— Corporate clients often use DCF analysis internally

Terminal value

Overview of DCF analysis

WACC Other topics

DCF analysis is a forward-looking valuation approach, based on several key

projections and assumptions Free cash flows

— What is the projected operating and financial performance of the business? Terminal value What will be the value of the business at the end of the projection period? Discount rate

D I S C O UN T E D

C A S H

F L OW

— What is the cost of capital (equity and debt) for the business? Depending on practical requirements and availability of data, DCF analysis can

be simple or extremely elaborate There is no single “correct” method of performing DCF analysis, but certain

rules of thumb always apply Do not simply plug numbers into equations You must apply judgment in determining each assumption

Terminal value

DCF theory and its application

WACC Other topics

DCF theory: The value of a productive asset is equal to the present value of all expected future cash flows that can be removed without affecting the asset’s value (including an estimated terminal value), discounted using an appropriate weightedaverage cost of capital The cash-flow streams that are discounted include Unlevered or levered free cash flows over the projection period Terminal value at the end of the projection period

D I S C O UN T E D

C A S H

F L OW

AN AL Y SI S

These future free cash flows are discounted to the present at a discount rate

commensurate with their risk If you are using unlevered free cash flows (our preferred approach), the

appropriate discount rate is the weighted-average cost of capital for debt and equity capital invested in the enterprise in optimal/targeted proportions If you are using levered free cash flows, the appropriate discount rate is simply

the cost of equity capital (often referred to as flows to shareholders or dividend discount model)

11


Terminal value

The two basic DCF approaches must not be confused

WACC Other topics

DCF of unlevered cash flows (the focus of these materials) Projected income and cash-flow streams are free of the effects of debt, net of

excess cash Present value obtained is the value of assets, assuming no debt or excess cash

(“firm value” or “enterprise value”) Debt associated with the business is subtracted (and excess cash balances are

added) to determine the present value of the equity (“equity value”)

DCF of levered cash flows (most common in valuation of financial institutions) Projected income and cash-flow streams are after interest expense and net of any

interest income Present value obtained is the value of equity Cash flows are discounted at the cost of equity

D I S C O UN T E D

C A S H

F L OW

AN AL Y SI S

Cash flows are discounted at the weighted-average cost of capital

12


Terminal value

Other considerations

WACC Other topics

Reliability of projections DCF results are generally more sensitive to cash flows (and terminal value) than to

small changes in the discount rate. Care should be taken that assumptions driving cash flows are reasonable. Generally, we try to use estimates provided by analysts from reputable Wall Street firms if the client has not provided projections

Sensitivity analysis approximate. Use several scenarios to bound the target’s value. Generally, the best variables to sensitize are sales, EBITDA margin, WACC and exit multiples or perpetuity growth rate

Calculation of unlevered free cash flow begins with financial projections Comprehensive projections (i.e., fully-integrated income statement, balance

sheet and statement of cash flows) typically provide all the necessary elements Quality of DCF analysis is a function of the quality of projections Often required to “fill in the gaps” Confirm and validate key assumptions underlying projections Sensitize variables that drive projections Sources of projections include Acquiring company’s management Research analysts Bankers

simple growth assumptions Operating margins: Evaluate improvement over time, competitive factors, SG&A

Depreciation: Should conform with historic and projected capex Capital expenditures: Consider both maintenance and expansion capex Changes in net working capital: Should correspond to historical patterns and grow

as the business grows Should show historical financial performance and sanity check projections against

past results. Be prepared to articulate why projections may or may not be similar to past results (e.g. reasons behind margin improvements, increased sales growth, etc.) Analyze projections for consistency Sales increases usually require working capital increases CAPEX and depreciation should converge over time

16

Overview

Free cash flow is the cash that remains for creditors and owners after taxes and reinvestment



Unlevered free cash flows can be forecast from a firm’s financial projections, even if

those projections include the effects of debt To do this, simply start your calculation with EBIT (earnings before interest and

taxes) EBIT (from the income statement)

Although beyond the scope of our current discussions, you should only include actual cash taxes paid in the DCF. Depending on the firm and industry, you may want to adjust for the non-cash (or deferred) portion of a firm’s tax provision. The tax footnote in the financial statements will give you a good idea of whether this is a meaningful issue for your analysis

Overview

Valuing the incremental effects of changes in projected operating results



In performing DCF analysis, we often need to determine the incremental impact on

value of certain events or adjustments to the projections, including: Synergies achievable through the M&A transaction

— Revenue — Cost — Capital expenditures Expansion plans Cost reductions Change in sales growth

These incremental effects can be valued by discounting them independently (net of

taxes) or by adjusting the DCF model and simply measuring the incremental impact

Overview

Once unlevered free cash flows are calculated, they must be discounted to the present



The standard present value calculation takes into account the cost of capital by attributing

greater value to cash flows generated earlier in the projection period than later cash flows

AN AL Y SI S

Since most businesses do not generate all of their free cash flows on the last day of the

year, but rather more-or-less continuously during the year, DCF analyses often use the socalled “mid-year convention,” which takes into account the fact that free cash flows occur during the year

JPMorgan JPMorgan standard standard

Present value =

FCF1 (1+r)0.5

+

FCF2 (1+r)1.5

+

FCF3 (1+r)2.5

FCFn (1+r)n-0.5

This approach moves each cash flow from the end of the applicable period to the middle of

the same period (i.e., cash flows are moved closer to the present)

Overview

Terminal value can account for a significant portion of value in a DCF analysis



Terminal value represents the business’s value at the end of the projection period;

i.e., the portion of the company’s total value attributable to cash flows expected after the projection period Terminal value is typically based on some measure of the performance of the

business in the terminal year of the projection (which should depict the business operating in a steady-state/normalized manner) Terminal (or “Exit”) multiple method

— Assumes that the business is valued/sold at the end of the terminal year at a multiple of some financial metric (typically EBITDA) — Assumes that the business is held in perpetuity and that free cash flows continue to grow at an assumed rate A terminal multiple will have an implied growth rate and vice versa. It is Once calculated, the terminal value is discounted back to the appropriate date using Attempt to reduce dependence on the terminal value

This method assumes that the business will be valued at the end of the last year of

the projected period The terminal value is generally determined as a multiple of EBIT, EBITDA or

multiples produce an asset value Note that in the exit multiple method terminal value is always assumed to be

This method assumes that the business will be owned in perpetuity and that the

business will grow at approximately the long-term macroeconomic growth rate Few businesses can be expected to have cash flows that truly grow forever; be

conservative when estimating growth rates in perpetuity Take free cash flow in the last year of the projection period, n, and grow it one

more year to n+1;1 this free cash flow is then capitalized at a rate equal to the discount rate minus the growth rate in perpetuity To ensure that the terminal year is normalized, JPMorgan models are set up to

Overview

Terminal multiples and perpetuity growth rates are often considered side-by-side



Assumptions regarding exit multiples are often checked for reasonableness by calculating the

growth rates in perpetuity that they imply (and vice versa) To go from the exit-multiple approach to an implied perpetuity growth rate:

g = [(WACC*terminal value) / (1+WACC)0.5 - FCFn] / [FCFn + (terminal value / (1 + WACC)0.5)] To go from the growth-in-perpetuity approach to an implied exit multiple:

multiple = [FCFn * (1 + g)(1 + WACC)0.5] / [EBITDAn * (WACC - g)] the mid-year convention

Overview

Choosing the discount rate is a critical step in DCF analysis



The discount rate represents the required rate of return given the risks inherent in

the business, its industry, and thus the uncertainty regarding its future cash flows, as well as its optimal capital structure Typically the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) will be used as a foundation

for setting the discount rate The WACC is always forward-looking and is predicted based on the expectations of

an investment's future performance; an investor contributes capital with the expectation that the riskiness of cash flows will be offset by an appropriate return The WACC is typically estimated by studying capital costs for existing investment AN AL Y SI S

opportunities that are similar in nature and risk to the one being analyzed The WACC is related to the risk of the investment, not the risk or creditworthiness of

the investor¹

1

In valuing a company, always use the riskiness of its cash flows or comparable companies in estimating a weighted average cost of capital. Never use the acquirer’s cost capital unless, by some chance, it is engaged in an extremely similar line of business. However, if a business is small relative to an acquiror’s, sometimes ti may be appropriate to consider the use of the acquiror’s WACC in performing the valuation. The additional value created by using the acquiror’s WACC can be viewed as a synergy to the acquiror in the context of the transaction.

Overview

JPMorgan estimates the cost of equity using the capital asset pricing model



The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) classifies risk as systematic and

unsystematic. Systematic risk is unavoidable. Unsystematic risk is that portion of risk that can be diversified away, and thus will not be paid for by investors The CAPM concludes that the assumption of systematic risk is rewarded with a risk

premium, which is an expected return above and beyond the risk-free rate. The size of the risk premium is linearly proportional to the amount of risk taken. Therefore, the CAPM defines the cost of equity as equaling the risk-free rate plus the amount of systematic risk an investor assumes

D I S C O UN T E D

C A S H

F L OW

AN AL Y SI S

The CAPM formula follows:

Cost of equity = Risk-free rate + (beta * market risk premium) re = rf + ß * (rm - rf) Where re = rf = rm = β =

the required market return on the equity of the company the risk-free rate the return on the market the company’s projected (leveraged) beta

There is also an error term in the CAPM formula, but this is usually omitted

Beta

WACC Other topics

Beta provides a method to estimate an asset's systematic (non-diversifiable) risk Beta equals the covariance between expected returns on the asset and on the stock

market, divided by the variance of expected returns on the stock market A company whose equity has a beta of 1.0 is “as risky” as the overall stock market

and should therefore be expected to provide returns to investors that rise and fall as fast as the stock market; a company with an equity beta of 2.0 should see returns on its equity rise twice as fast or drop twice as fast as the overall market Returning to our CAPM formula, the beta determines how much of the market risk Since the cost of capital is an expected value, the beta value should be an expected

value as well Although the CAPM analysis, including the use of beta, is the overwhelming favorite

for DCF analysis, other capital asset pricing models exist, such as multi-factor models like the Arbitrage Pricing Theory

Overview

JPMorgan uses predicted betas to calculate the cost of equity



Predicted betas are constructed to adjust for many risk factors, incorporating firms’ earnings

volatility, size, industry exposure, and leverage Predicted betas are more consistent and less volatile than historical betas Historical betas only measure the past relationship between a firm’s return and market returns

and are often distorted Projected betas can be obtained from Barra or an online database (e.g., IDD) Barra predicted betas can be found through the Investment Bank Home Web page1 Note that Bloomberg betas are based on historic prices and are therefore not forward-looking

Delevering and relevering beta Recalling our previous discussion regarding the difference between asset values and

equity values, a similar argument exists for betas. The predicted equity beta, i.e., the observed beta, included the effects of leverage. In the course of performing a variance analysis, which looks at different target capitalizations, the equity beta must be delevered to get an asset, or unlevered, beta. This asset beta is then used in the CAPM formula to determine the appropriate cost of capital for various debt levels The formula follows:

Delevering and relevering beta (cont’d) Note that JPMorgan M&A sometimes uses a factor, tau, in place of the marginal tax

rate, T Tau, currently equal to 0.26, represents the average blended benefit a

shareholder gets from a company borrowing (reflects many factors) The value of Tau is derived by researchers using complicated statistical analyses Although the delevering/relevering methodology is standard for WACC analyses, the

formula does not produce a highly accurate result Remember the fundamentals: the market charges more for equity of companies that Exercise 1. Levered Beta = 1.25, T = 40%, D/E= 0.75; What is the Beta Unlevered? 2. Find the levered Beta at a D/E = 1.0

Overview

JPMorgan uses the long-term cost of debt in estimating WACC



The long-term cost of debt is used because the cost of capital is normally applied to

long-term cash flows Using the long-term cost of debt removes any refinancing costs/risks from the

valuation analysis To the extent a company can fund its investments at a lower cost of debt (with

the same risk), this value should be attributed to the finance staff

Overview

The cost of equity and debt are blended together based on a target capital structure



The target capital structure reflects the company’s rating objective Firms generally try to minimize the cost of capital through the appropriate use of leverage The percentage weighting of debt and equity is usually based on the market value of a firm’s equity and debt

position Most firms are at their target capital structure Adjustments should be made for seasonal or cyclical swings, as well as for firms moving toward a target Using a weighted average cost of capital assumes that all investments are funded with the same mix of equity

and debt as the target capital structure WACC WACC formula formula AN AL Y SI S

Overview

Sensitivity analysis is vital when presenting the results of DCF analysis



Recall that DCF valuation is highly sensitive to projections and assumptions So-called “sensitivity tables” chart the output based on ranges of input variables It is common to use a 3x3 table (i.e., showing three different values for each of

two input variables) to enable the reader to “triangulate” to the appropriate inferences Since DCF results are by their nature approximate, depicting sensitivity tables

enables users of DCF output to assess the degree of “fuzziness” in the results growth rates generally show sensitivities for the method used to calculate terminal value and a range of discount rates Sensitivities can be shown for any variable in the model (including financial

projections) Judge which sensitivities would be useful to decision makers

Overview

Companies with multiple businesses are often valued on a sum-of-the-parts basis



This approach is sometimes referred-to as a “break-up” valuation Particularly common when the company is believed to be undervalued by

the public Better accounts for discrepancies in market conditions facing the businesses The methodology requires estimating financial results for each business (EBIT,

EBITDA and/or net income), which can then be used with appropriate multiples or growth rates in order to arrive at a firm value for each part before the results are summed

D I S C O UN T E D

C A S H

F L OW

AN AL Y SI S

Completing a sum-of-the-parts valuation can be more challenging than a

straightforward (single-business/consolidated) DCF analysis Typically less detailed financial data is publicly-available for segments Often assumptions must be made about how to allocate expenses,

especially those that are clearly shared across businesses (like corporatelevel SG&A) Need to consider different characteristics of each business segment

(discount rate, terminal value assumptions, etc.)

Introduction to relative valuation Relative valuation is utilized to illustrate how the value of one company compares to

another company Typically, relative valuation analysis is utilized in the context of stock-for-stock

exchanges to determine the appropriate exchange ratio offered to shareholders in a transaction The exchange ratio reflects the number of acquiror shares offered for each target

share So if you are a target shareholder and you are offered an exchange ratio of

0.500x, you are being offer 1/2 of an acquiror share for each share of the target you own Several relative valuation approaches exist Contribution analysis Relative multiple and discounted cash flow analysis Valuation of synergies

Overview of accretion/(dilution) analysis Accretion/(dilution) primarily measures the impact of a merger or acquisition on the

income statement of a potential buyer Accretion/(dilution) analysis can be based on revenue, EBITDA, earnings, after-tax

cash flow, and dividends per share EPS is most commonly used form of accretion/(dilution) analysis Industry will typically dictate which are the most relevant metrics (e.g. wireless

telecom companies may prefer to show EBITDA) Two methods exist for calculating accretion/(dilution) “Top down”: integrated merger model “Bottom up”: transaction-adjusted, estimate-based model Key measures for accretion/(dilution) Dollar and percent change of acquirer earnings per share

M E R G E R


Pre-tax synergies required for break-even impact to EPS Pro forma ownership when stock is used as an acquisition currency Pro forma leverage/capitalization¹

1

Note that capitalization will change when stock is used and net debt leverage levels will change when cash is used

74


Purpose of accretion/(dilution) analysis Accretion/(dilution) analysis can be used to determine The capacity of the acquirer (or potential acquirers) to pay a premium for a

target Optimal form of consideration (cash, stock, other securities, combination) Used by both buyers and sellers Buyers identify highest price they can afford to pay and what currency to offer Buyers evaluate how much competing bidders can afford to pay Sellers evaluate what price potential buyers can afford to pay and in what

currency In the context of a divestiture, sellers also evaluate their break-even sale price

and required currency

M E R G E R


Typically, JPMorgan performs sensitivity analyses to find break-even points where

the offer price for a target results in no incremental earnings or losses to acquirer’s earnings per share

75

Two primary methods exist to compute accretion/(dilution)

Description Description

Benefits Benefits


Top down

Bottom up

Integrated merger model with projected balance sheet and cash flow statement for target, acquirer and the combined company

EPS estimate-based analysis that combines acquirer and target projections, adjusting for impact of incremental transaction-related expenses and income

Provides most accurate picture of combined companies

Quick and intuitive demonstration of accretive or dilutive impact

Reflects impact of debt pay-down and other cash flow implications to net interest expense and net income

Flexible analysis that can incorporate multiple buyers or targets

Clearly and accurately shows balance sheet impact in pro forma statistics

M E R G E R


Considerations Considerations

Difficult to efficiently incorporate multiple acquirers and targets for competitive analysis

Risks over-simplifying pro forma analysis and overor under-stating impact to acquirer

Relies on estimates which, although more robust, are also subject to uncertainty or questionable assumptions

May be inappropriate for a deal where the acquirer’s credit rating is impacted by the transaction Must be customized for asset deals, joint ventures and other transactions

What is in a “consensus” estimate? While While First First Call Call or or I/B/E/S I/B/E/S estimates estimates may may provide provide a a perceived perceived “Street” “Street” consensus, consensus, they they introduce introduce some some degree degree of of uncertainty uncertainty

First Call and I/B/E/S consensus estimates are based on an aggregation of research analysts’

estimates, with little discretion applied to mean and median calculations Quality of estimates and analysts varies dramatically across consensus samples Modeling conventions are often not explained or apparent Analysts may be assuming different projected share counts, rather than net income Some estimates included in consensus numbers are out-dated May not reflect updated company guidance or recent financial results May not reflect abrupt changes to underlying industry economics May not reflect recent M&A transactions or securities offerings Items embedded in consensus estimates are not always clearly explained or uniform

Transaction assumptions are the foundation of all sound analysis


Always Always clearly clearly describe describe transaction transaction assumptions assumptions

Choose an appropriate closing date reflecting available information and transaction structure Timing of process requirements for closing (share registration, shareholder votes, etc.) Timing of regulatory requirements for closing (HSR review, etc.) Seasonality of industry economics and impact on estimates or calendarization Capital structures should best reflect current circumstances Equity currency should be reviewed in context of recent share price and larger equity market

performance Cash deals should reflect reasonable interest rates and lending market capacity Pro forma leverage and interest coverage levels should be consistent with acquirer’s desired credit

rating Both advisory and financing fees have a meaningful impact on pro forma financials

M E R G E R


Although equity analysts tend to “look through” some extraordinary charges, advisory and other one-

time fees will impact the cash balance used in the transaction and subsequent annual interest expense Amortization of financing fees will impact EPS over the immediate future of the combined entity Tax rate on incremental earnings and expenses should reflect acquiror’s and target’s combined tax

efficiencies and adjustments should be made to post-transaction tax expenses for potential NOLs assumed by an acquirer

Considerations for a stock transaction P/Es and relative valuations play a meaningful role in accretion/(dilution) analysis High P/E of an acquirer may imply stock may be “cheap” acquisition currency,

relative to lower P/E stock or the “implied debt P/E” A number of issues will play an important role in the optics, attitudes and receptivity

of principals and investors in a transaction Exchange ratios should not be grossly inconsistent with historical relative trading

performance of acquirer and target Purchase price and pro forma ownership should take into account contribution

Considerations for a cash transaction Use multiple tranches of debt where appropriate Reflects capital structure and market capacity limitations for larger deals Varying interest rate on debt tranches will impact interest expense on offer price increases or

decreases Note that depending on debt mix, stock may be more or less appropriate as an acquisition

currency Financing assumptions should reflect both acquirer’s stand-alone and combined debt capacity and

ratings circumstances Debt coverage and capitalization statistics should be included to highlight potential ratings issues

and support interest rate assumptions Current and recent ratings history of acquirer should be reviewed to confirm ability to issue debt

securities Covenants of existing acquirer debt should be considered Review transaction and pro forma financials with ratings advisory and DCM teams to determine

The role of P/E valuations in accretion/(dilution) For stock-for-stock deals, accretion or dilution potential will usually be evident by simply

comparing the P/E multiples of the acquirer and the target If the acquirer has a higher P/E than the target, the deal will be accretive because the acquirer

is buying more EPS than the target shareholders are accepting as consideration If the acquirer has a lower P/E than the target, the deal will be dilutive because the acquirer is

buying less EPS than the target shareholders are accepting as consideration Remember to take the premium into account when calculating the target’s P/E Utility of comparison will also depend on transaction assumptions regarding goodwill impairment

or other asset amortization For 100% cash transactions, the cost of debt (interest payments) and cost of acquiring the target’s

earnings will determine the accretive or dilutive impact of a transaction Where the inverse cost of debt (1/(after-tax cost of debt)) is greater than the P/E of the target,

the deal will be accretive

M E R G E R


Where the inverse cost of debt is lower than the P/E of the target, the deal will be dilutive

86

Synergies and transaction related costs Synergies For top-down modeling simplicity, assume synergies come from cost-savings unless told

otherwise Revenue synergies

— Incremental revenues may have costs associated with them that need to be reflected in any synergy calculations (e.g variable margins on incremental revenues) — Equity markets heavily discount or, in many cases, disregard revenue synergies, as they are typically difficult to quantify and accurately project Synergies are typically realized gradually over time and should be phased in accordingly It may be prudent to “risk-adjust” any expected synergies to account for ability to

realize them and/or for negative synergies (i.e., integration costs) Consider the cash flow impact of synergies One-time charges and expenses

M E R G E R


Acquiring companies will incur one-time merger-related costs due to reorganization,

severance packages — One-time charges are disclosed in SEC filings — From a valuation perspective, the Street “looks through” one-time charges — Include the net interest impact of cash changes

89


Additional items to consider Tax benefits In assuming additional options are exercised under premium scenarios a tax shield will be generated

based on the implied deductible compensation expense generated from the vesting / exercise of options at a discount to the acquisition price Asset write-ups have tax implications1 Acquirers may be forced to pay “interest on interest” In using cash and thereby raising debt, an acquirer will incur future interest and amortization

payments that may require additional borrowing AccretionOne calculation method Asset write-ups and additional depreciation expenses While asset write-ups will reduce goodwill generated in a transaction, they will increase annual

depreciation expenses based on the incremental increase in depreciable assets Limiting asset write-ups will reduce negative impact of increased depreciation expenses

M E R G E R


In some cases, asset write-downs may impact EPS accretion / dilution Impact of dividends paid by acquirer Additional cash will be necessary to fund new dividends paid and should be reflected in incremental

expenses Dividend accretion/(dilution) analysis may be relevant to determine appropriate premium

Write-ups create a deferred tax liability (equal to the write-up multiplied by the tax rate)

90

Summary considerations for EPS accretion/(dilution) analysis


EPS-based accretion/(dilution) is only a back-of-the-envelope exercise and is not a

substitute for an integrated merger model Does not necessarily reflect cash flow implications and debt pay-down capabilities of

combined company EPS estimates should be used with caution First Call and I/B/E/S estimates are consensus numbers that do not always reflect

consistent underlying assumptions Small differences in EPS figures can have dramatic impact on net income ($0.05 per

share on 200 million shares reflects a $10 million variance in net income) Share count of target must be a dynamic number Share count should increase (decrease) with offer price to reflect additional (reduced)

shares underlying in-the-money options

M E R G E R


Negative net income targets CANNOT create meaningful accretion Accretion/(dilution) should always be sanity-checked Relative P/Es Acquirer’s cost of debt vs. cost of target’s earnings Accretion/(dilution) should always be checked with your calculator

Overview of pro forma balance sheet analysis Pro forma balance sheet analysis provides a means of assessing the impact of a

potential transaction on an acquirer’s cost of borrowing, market access, and financial flexibility Two methods exist for demonstrating balance sheet impact: “Top down”: integrated merger model with income statement, balance sheet and

cash flow statement (preferred) “Bottom up”: transaction-adjusted, LTM-based model Pro forma balance sheet analysis relies primarily upon a comparison of an acquirer’s

pre- and post-acquisition credit metrics Key credit metrics include: Pretax interest coverage EBITDA interest coverage

Significance of pro forma balance sheet analysis Pro forma balance sheet analysis is critical in determining The debt-financed acquisition capacity of an acquirer (or competing bidders) Required equity component of an offer to ensure a particular rating outcome Financing implications of a particular transaction structure (cost of capital and

market access) In a divestiture, the pro forma credit rating of the seller and the minimum level of

cash consideration needed Used by both buyers and sellers Buyers identify highest price they can afford to pay and how much cash can be

offered Buyers evaluate how much other competitive bidders can afford to pay Sellers evaluate how much potential buyers can afford to pay and how much cash

to demand Typically, JPMorgan performs sensitivity analyses to address relevant inflection

points where the offer price for a target results in meaningful changes to a combined capital structure

94


Credit ratings as a key financing decision driver A company’s corporate credit rating determines its Cost of borrowing Breadth and depth of access to the capital markets Financial flexibility (liquidity/covenant constraints) Pro forma balance sheet analysis allows potential acquirers to assess

leverage breakpoints and their associated ratings outcomes in order to develop a comprehensive financing plan Significant debt-financed transactions can erode credit profile and can

lead to a ratings downgrade The determination of potential financing structures is often bound by the
