Trading multiples analysis is a key technique based on assumption that current market is right
Overview The right comps The right multiple Spreading the comp Deriving value
Pros
Cons
Difficult to identify 100% comparable companies Must make the difficult decision whether the company being analyzed is valued higher, lower or the same as the average of the sample May be short term divergences from fundamental value Stock market may reflect "sentiment and not the "true picture Thinly traded, small capitalization and poorly followed stocks may not reflect fundamental value Different accounting standards Different level of information according to national stock market requirements
Market values incorporate perception of all investors reflecting firm prospects, industry trends, business risk, market growth, etc. Basic tool for estimating market value Provides check for DCF Values obtained are reliable indicator of the value of firm for minority investment
Firm value
Market value of all capital invested in (often referred to as enterprise value or asset value)
business
(1)
The value of the total enterprise: market value of equity + net debt Equity value = Market value of the shareholders equity (often referred to as offer value) The market value of a companys equity (shares outstanding x current stock price) Firm value - net debt
(2)
Equity value
Assets
Enterprise value
Enterprise Value
Net debt
Equity value
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 companys credit profile has not changed significantly since the existing debt was issued. 2 Net debt equals total debt + minority interest + preferred equity + capitalized leases + short-term debt - cash and cash equivalents.

The defining difference lies in the treatment of debt and its associated cost
(interest expense)
A multiple that has debt in the numerator must have a statistic before interest
expense in the denominator
Equity value
Value for owners of business (after interest expense) Multiples of: Net income After tax cash flow Book value
Firm value
Value available to all providers of capital (before interest expense) Multiples of: Sales EBITDA EBIT
12
Identify the right comparable companies Choose the right multiples for comparison purposes Spread the comp correctly Apply the comparable data to derive a value
13
Consider the perspective of equity investors (can use equity research as a proxy) to what would they compare target? You want to indentify companies that closely resemble the composition and function of the company you are evaluating

It is important to understand what metric the companies in a peer group trade off of (revenue, EBITDA, EPS, etc.)
Firm value multiples Firm value/sales Firm value/EBITDA Firm value/EBIT Equity value multiples (Equity value/net income) or (price/EPS (P/E)) Equity value/after-tax cash flow Equity value/book equity
Valuation multiple can be calculated on both a latest twelve months (LTM) and a forecasted basis Companies trade most typically off expected future performance (analysts estimates)
EPS estimates are available from I/B/E/S on Bloomberg Other income statement projections are found in equity research reports available from Market Data Services, Multex and Investext
16
Types of multiples used may differ significantly from industry to industry Use analyst research for choosing comps and multiples Seek guidance from more senior team members/industry group experts on which
multiples to use

Use diluted shares using the treasury method Calendarize forward estimates so that all companies are being compared for the
same twelve month time period
Forward estimates for EPS should be based on IBES or First Call medians, but
ensure you understand the components of these estimates Some analysts included in those mean/median calculations may not have updated their estimates even though there has been a significant change in the companys prospects

Issues/pitfalls
Break out each tranche of outstanding options and warrants separately Avoid double counting of options - do not include Total line in calculation! Equity value should be calculated using all options and warrants outstanding (not just exercisable) Stock splits Pro forma adjustments Note accounting convention for diluted EPS in financial statements uses average stock price over the prior year - not correct for calculating current shares outstanding

ANNUAL
Total Revenue
When companies in the comparable universe have fiscal years ending at a date other than
that of the client or focus company, it is common to employ the technique of calendarization
Calendarization adjusts the financial data of one company to reflect results representative
of the period in time corresponding to the latest fiscal year of the client or focus company This insures that the financial data of both companies is truly comparable by eliminating seasonal or cyclical differences that may arise as a result of dissimilar fiscal year ends
Example: Client/Acquiror has fiscal year end (FYE) 12/31 while Target has FYE 10/31
Target FYE 2002E Net Income = $120, Target FYE 2003E Net Income = $150 Calendarize from 10/31/02 to 12/31/02:
Ideally could use quarterly estimates10 $120 2 $150 Target CY2002E Net Income = + = $100 + $25 = $125 However, availability and consistency are an issue 12 12
24
Bottoms-up approach
Use IBES median EPS estimate Build-up from EPS to EBIT / EBITDA using analyst estimates for shares outstanding, tax rate, interest expense, depreciation & amortization Advantages: Automatically reflects changes in earnings estimates as they are made by IBES Not tied to one specific equity analyst Disadvantages: Need to reality-check resulting EBIT and EBITDA Cannot foot directly to an analyst report
Top-down approach
Use IBES median EPS estimate Use a specific analyst report (or the average of a group of reports) for EBIT / EBITDA estimates Advantages: Easy to check Can cite specific source your estimate came from Disadvantages: Does not automatically update Will not necessarily reflect consensus
25
Minority interest
Minority interest represents the portion of a consolidated subsidiary which you do not own Need to make sure the numerator and denominator of a trading multiple are on an apples-to-apples basis Numerator: Add the minority interest (market value if available or book value) to firm value Denominator: Consolidated financial results Consider the following example: Market cap of $500MM Debt of $500MM Consolidated EBITDA of $100MM Minority interest of $50MM Firm Value = $1050, EBITDA = $100 FV / EBITDA = 10.5x
Equity interest
Equity interest in unconsolidated affiliates represents a minority stake you hold in another company Need to make sure the numerator and denominator of a trading multiple are on an apples-to-apples basis Numerator: Subtract the equity interest (market value if available or book value) from firm value (i.e. treat as cash) Denominator: Consolidated financial results (do not include equity interest) Consider the following example: Market cap of $500MM Debt of $500MM Consolidated EBITDA of $100MM Equity interest of $50MM Firm Value = $950, EBITDA = $100 FV / EBITDA = 9.5x
26
Use income from continuing operations (i.e. income before discontinued operations, extraordinary charges/income and effect of change in accounting principles) Eliminate non-recurring items Restructuring charges Gains/losses on sale of assets One-time write-offs Read all footnotes and Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) sections Tax effect all adjustments, if they relate to an after-tax financial statistic and are tax-deductible Check MD&A and footnotes for actual tax impact if available Use marginal rate if tax impact not available Double-check your calculations!!! Reality check on multiples, margins, etc. (ruler check, brokerage report check) Dont assume model is always right!
27
Stock splits, dividends & repurchases Differences in fiscal year end (EPS estimate) Cash (long term investments) Recent acquisition and divestitures pro forma #s Changes in earnings estimates Non-recurring items Recent debt or equity offerings Take-over activity Re-statements Conversion of convertible securities since last reporting period Differences in international accounting treatment
28
Generally a range of multiples are used to provide a valuation range for your target Multiply the companys sales, operating income, operating cash flow, net income, book value and other key operating statistics by the respective comparable company multiples

The multiple (of cash flow, operating profit, earnings or other industry metrics) paid for a target The premium paid to gain control of a target (control premium) Business fundamentals of a target (revenue/earnings growth, profitability) Technical transaction elements (deal protection, conditions to closing) Social issues (board seats, management) Other value drivers (synergies, tax benefits)

Thompson Financial database (SDC) Locates targets based on SIC code, business description, industry Identifies transactions based on hostile vs. friendly, transaction size, announcement date, and several other deal elements The Comprehensive Summary Report is very helpful in hand-picking transactions since it includes a synopsis of the deal in addition to general information regarding both parties and the transaction Available on desktops and through the Business Research Center at (212) 622-4900 Senior bankers who work in the industry Will be able to point you toward previously used presentations or valuations Ensures you do not exclude any landmark deals or other deals they would specifically like to include Merger proxies for similar transactions Fairness opinions of financial advisors disclose the comparable transactions used in their valuation of the target Other sources include: JPMorgan transaction comps databases News runs Equity research reports
36
Similar industries with similar products or services Size, margins, relative market position, major potential liabilities
When seeking guidance regarding structure, the situation surrounding the acquisition is
crucial Scenarios could include: LBOs, bankruptcy-related acquisitions, hostile transactions, reverse mergers, divestitures, asset vs. stock acquisitions, form of consideration, Morris Trust transactions, and many others If possible, try to locate transactions in a similar industry as well
Recent deals are typically a more accurate reflection of the values buyers are willing to
pay
Remember that some transactions are more relevant than others when selecting
a range of multiples for valuation

Definitions of equity value and firm value similar to trading comparables: Equity value + Net debt Firm value Value received by the target / target shareholders (100%) Debt assumed by acquiror minus cash received Total value of business acquired (100%)
BE CAREFUL: Transaction value for a change of control transaction will differ from equity and/or firm value when >50% but <100% is acquired
Equity value: Cash consideration: (fully-diluted target shares @ offer price) x (cash consideration per share) Stock consideration: (fully-diluted target shares @ offer price) x (exchange ratio) x (price per acquiror share @ the closing price prior to announcement) Cash and stock consideration: (fully-diluted target shares @ offer price) x (cash consideration per share) plus (fully-diluted target shares @ offer price) x (exchange ratio) x (price per acquiror share @ the closing price prior announcement) Firm value: In all cases: Add the indebtedness and subtract the cash items that are to be transferred to the acquirer through the transaction to the target equity value Be careful not to add any convertible debt or preferred securities which were converted into common shares (and already included in the fully-diluted share count) May be appropriate to include certain other unfunded liabilities in the calculation of firm value for a transaction
39
Timing (announcement vs. closing) Typically want to assess what buyer was willing to pay for business, so most interested in valuation based on stock prices as of announcement date Information regarding shares outstanding, options, debt, cash as of most recent publicly disclosed source as of announcement date (i.e. 10-K, 10-Q, or Proxy, 8-K) However, if terms of the transaction change (exchange ratio, amount of cash consideration), should look to valuation on date of announcement of revised terms Valuing a deal with stock consideration as of the closing date will give a sense for how market reacted to value of two companies together Transaction fees Typically M&A fees/financing fees are not included in firm value of business acquired as they are not consideration received by seller However, in extreme cases (i.e., LBO/recap) it may be instructive to know amount of fees and indicate how they may have impacted business valuation Asset purchases Note that debt can be transferred with businesses/assets being sold and must be added to the consideration paid by the acquiror Other liabilities In some instances it may be appropriate to include the assumption of a non-debt other unfunded liability in firm value (such as an existing restructuring reserve) but never NWI / working capital items Earn-outs/purchase price adjustments
40
Time horizon LTM financial information should reflect what buyer bought the business off-of and is generally backward-looking (typically last twelve months of financial information available prior the announcement date) In certain industry-specific circumstances (i.e. technology, biotech) it is more useful to look at projected financial information as well (typically IBES consensus estimates / median of several analyst reports) However, the outlook of equity analysts may be quite different than the outlook of the buyer at the time of acquisition Adjustments Exclude impact of extraordinary items on a tax-affected basis Pro forma adjustments (i.e. acquisitions and divestitures) must be considered Currencies If target is foreign, most-commonly taught method is to apply average exchange rates over LTM period because it is the accounting convention Is this always appopriate for valuation purposes? Not necessarily Need to consider carefully / discuss with team-members in extreme cases (i.e. when currency has de-valued / re-valued substantially vs. US Dollar)
41
Synergies
Synergies are not generally incorporated into the financial information but it may be useful to consider their value when comparing transactions to each other Sometimes will indicate announced synergies as a % of sales, SG&A, SG&A + COGS, transaction value
Tax benefits
In certain cases (acquisition of assets, acquisition of stock with a 338(h)(10) election) a buyer will receive substantial benefits from depreciating / amortizing a write-up and receiving incremental tax deductions An acquiror can often justify a higher purchase price and multiples may be higher in such circumstances Can attempt to estimate the value of tax benefits received by acquiror but depends on a lot of unknown variables (discount rate, amortization period, tax basis) However, should know which transactions are tax-advantaged and which arent
42
Target share price / acquiror share price Using the correct acquiror share price
Most recent common shares outstanding (use the merger agreement if available) Use all outstanding, not exercisable, options and warrants and assume that all in-the-money securities are
exercised in this analysis
Check for warrants Repriced options New issuances of debt or equity since most recent 10Q or 10K Forgetting debt in an asset transaction Acquisitions or divestitures completed by the target over LTM period Exclude all extraordinary items - only tax affect those items that are tax deductible Publicly-available information only, please!

General suggestions
Always check with JPMorgan databases and colleagues to see if work has already been done Be sure you have carefully double-checked all work before showing to a client!! Have all relevant documentation regarding the deal printed-out Flag where you got your information from Place all documents as well as a printout of the transaction comp model in a folder or binder If possible, coordinate with M&A research to import your transaction data into our firm database If a transaction is pending or is renegotiated, update the analysis to incorporate disclosures that were made subsequent to your analysis (e.g. S4, Proxy, research reports regarding transaction) Be sure to update your list of transactions regularly on active projects to ensure that you do not exclude the most recent, and possibly most relevant, transactions

Public Market Valuation Value based on market trading multiples of comparable companies Applied using historical and prospective multiples Does not include a control premium
Private Market Valuation Value based on multiples paid for comparable companies in sale transactions Includes control premium
Intrinsic value of business Present value of projected free cash flows Incorporates both short-term and long-term expected performance Risk in cash flows and capital structure captured in discount rate
Value to a financial/LBO buyer Value based on debt repayment and return on equity investment
Liquidation analysis Break-up analysis Historical trading performance Expected IPO valuation Discounted future share price EPS impact Dividend discount model
52
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
WACC
Widely accepted by bankers, corporations and academics Corporate clients often use DCF analysis internally Comparable companies analysis Comparable transaction analysis Leveraged buyout analysis Recapitalization analysis, liquidation analysis, etc. One of several techniques used in M&A transactions; others include:
Other topics
DCF analysis may be the only valuation method utilized, particularly if no comparable publicly-traded companies or precedent transactions are available
53
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 What is the cost of capital (equity and debt) for the business?
Other topics
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
54
Projections/FCF
Project the operating results and free cash flows of the business over the forecast period (typically 10 years, but can be 520 years depending on the profitability horizon)
Other topics
Terminal value
Estimate the exit multiple and/or growth rate in perpetuity of the business at the end of the forecast period
Discount rate
Estimate the companys weighted-average cost of capital to determine the appropriate discount rate range
Present value
Determine a range of values for the enterprise by discounting the projected free cash flows and terminal value to the present
Adjustments
Adjust the resulting valuation for all assets and liabilities not accounted for in cash flow projections
55
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 assets value (including an estimated terminal value), discounted using an appropriate weighted-average cost of capital
Other topics
Unlevered or levered free cash flows over the projection period Terminal value at the end of the projection period
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)
56
Other topics
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) Cash flows are discounted at the weighted-average cost of capital
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
57
Other considerations
Overview Free cash flow Terminal value WACC
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
Other topics
Remember that DCF valuations are based on assumptions and are therefore
approximate. Use several scenarios to bound the targets value. Generally, the best variables to sensitize are sales, EBITDA margin, WACC and exit multiples or perpetuity growth rate
58
Always remember . . .
Overview Free cash flow Terminal value WACC
Projections and incremental cash flows (unlevered free cash flow) Residual value at end of the projection period (terminal value) Weighted-average cost of capital (discount rate)
Other topics
Avoid pitfalls:
Validate and test projection assumptions Determine appropriate cash flow stream Thoughtfully consider terminal value methodology Use appropriate cost of capital approach Carefully consider all variables in calculation of the discount rate Sensitize appropriately (base projection variables, synergies, discount rates, terminal values, etc.) Footnote assumptions in detail Think about other value enhancers and detractors
The first step in DCF analysis is projection of unlevered free cash flows
Overview Free cash flow Terminal value WACC
Comprehensive projections (i.e., fully-integrated income statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flows) typically provide all the necessary elements
Other topics
Often required to fill in the gaps Confirm and validate key assumptions underlying projections Sensitize variables that drive projections
60
Ideally projections should go out as far into the future as can reasonably be estimated to reduce
dependence on the terminal value
Other topics
Sales growth: Use divisional, product-line or location-by-location build-up or simple growth assumptions Operating margins: Evaluate improvement over time, competitive factors, SG&A costs Synergies: Estimate dollars in Year 1 and evaluate margin impact over time 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.)
Sales increases usually require working capital increases Capex and depreciation should converge over time
61
Free cash flow is the cash that remains for creditors and owners after taxes and reinvestment
Overview Free cash flow Terminal value WACC
Unlevered free cash flows can be forecast from a firms 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)
Other topics
Plus: Non-tax-deductible goodwill amortization Less: Taxes (at the marginal tax rate) Equals: Tax-effected EBITA Plus: Deferred taxes1 Plus: Depreciation and any tax-deductible amortization Less: Capital expenditures Plus/(less): Decrease/(increase) in net working investment Equals: Unlevered free cash flow
1
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 firms 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 62

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

Terminal value can account for a significant portion of value in a DCF analysis
Overview
Terminal value represents the businesss value at the end of the projection period; i.e., the portion of the
Free cash flow Terminal value WACC
companys 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) Growth in perpetuity method 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 essential to review the implied multiple/growth rate for sanity check purposes
Other topics
Once calculated, the terminal value is discounted back to the appropriate date using the relevant rate Attempt to reduce dependence on the terminal value
What is appropriate projection time frame? What percentage of total value comes from the terminal value?
69
This method assumes that the business will be valued at the end of the last year of the
projected period
Other topics
If the terminal value is based on the last year of your projection then the multiple should be based on an LTM multiple (most common) There are circumstances where you will project an additional year of EBITDA and apply a forward multiple
70
Consider adding a year to the projections which represents a normalized year A steady-state, long-term industry multiple should be used rather than a current
multiple, which can be distorted by contemporaneous industry or economic factors
Other topics
Growth rate Consistent with long-term economic assumptions Reinvestment rate Net working investment consistent with projected growth Capital expenditures needed to fuel estimated growth Depreciation consistent with capital expenditures Margins Adjusted to reflect long-term estimated profitability Normalized tax rate

73
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 project one year past the projection year and allow for normalizing adjustments; this FCFn+1 is then discounted by the perpetuity formula
Other topics
Academic formula
This step is taken because the perpetuity growth formula is based on the principle that the terminal value of a business is the value of its next cash flow, divided by the difference between the discount rate and a perpetual growth rate 74
Note that when using the mid-year convention, terminal value is discounted as if
cash flows occur in the middle of the final projection period Here the growth-in-perpetuity method differs from the exit-multiple method
Typical adjustments to normalize free cash flow in Year n include revising the

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
Other topics
The WACC is typically estimated by studying capital costs for existing investment 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
investor
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 acquirers 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 acquirors, sometimes ti may be appropriate to consider the use of the acquirors WACC in performing the valuation. The additional value created by using the acquirors WACC can be viewed as a synergy to the acquiror in the context of the transaction.

The cost of equity and debt are blended together based on a target capital structure
Overview
The target capital structure reflects the companys 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 firms 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

Valuing synergies
Overview Free cash flow Terminal value WACC Other topics
When two businesses are combined, the term synergies refers to the changes in their aggregate
operating and/or financial results attributable to their being operated as a combined enterprise. Synergies can take many forms: Revenue enhancements Raw material discounts/purchasing power Sales and marketing overlap Corporate overhead reductions Distribution cost reductions Facilities consolidation Tax savings
The value of achievable synergies is often a key element in whether to proceed with a proposed
transaction Calculate synergies for both the acquiring company and the target Remember incremental cash flow
Synergies are generally valued by toggling pre-tax changes to various financial statement line items
into a DCF model of the combined enterprise and simply measuring the incremental impact
92
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
As shown in our previous examples, DCF analyses using exit multiples and
perpetuity 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
93
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
94
Agenda
Introduction Trading comparables Transaction comparables Discounted cash flow analysis LBO analysis Relative value analysis Merger consequences
Appendix
95
Example
Financial sponsors profit by exiting three to five years after the transaction
Sell the target to another buyer Take the target public Recapitalize the target
Assumptions regarding the investment transaction, the exit and the period
between the acquisition and the exit are critical to determining an appropriate capital structure and potential returns to equity
96
Example
Financial sponsors typically pursue M&A transactions with different perspectives and objectives (e.g., a shorter investment horizon) Strategic buyers sometimes behave like financial investors (i.e., acquiring with the expectation of selling in several years)
LBO analysis provides another data point for strategic players that may chiefly rely
on DCF analysis
LBO valuation may be useful from a competitive point of view, as strategic players
vie with financial sponsors for the same assets
97
Example
Projections
Develop an integrated model of the business that projects EBITDA and cash available for debt repayment over the investment horizon (typically 35 years)
Terminal value
Estimate the multiple at which the sponsor can be expected to exit the investment at the end of the investment period
Determine a transaction structure and a pro forma capital structure that result in realistic financial coverage
IRR
Adjustments
Tweak the transaction/capital structure as needed to achieve harmony (if possible) between IRR, leverage and valuation
98
The initial steps in an LBO analysis are identical to those in a DCF analysis
Overview
Example
The same financial projections developed for a DCF analysis can be used to build
a basic LBO model
Free cash flows are expected to be used to service debt, with positive flows to
equity typically coming at exit Amount and predictability of free cash flows dictate whether a company is an attractive or viable LBO target
Cash flows are not discounted Terminal value drives valuation, and is calculated on the basis of multiples
Multiple of exit-year EBITDA is generally used to bound the valuation of the enterprise in any possible exit scenario
99
Pro forma capitalization and transaction structure are set forth in sources and uses
Overview
Example
Sources should show the entire pro forma capitalization of the company, including:
Uses of funds should address all parts of the targets existing capital structure, as well
as transaction-related leakage: Refinancing existing debt Transaction expenses Equity purchase price Debt and equity to be rolled-over
Any debt or equity that is rolled-over shows up under both sources and uses Always depict every part of the capitalization, whether it changes pro forma or not
100
LBO models are driven by the characteristics of the sources of capital for the transaction
Overview
Components of capital
Example
Senior debt
Revolving Term Sample inputs 30%50% of total capital LIBOR + 200-400 58 years
Typically supplied by an investment or commercial bank Usually secured / most restrictive covenants Amortizing 5- to 8-year tenor First in line at liquidation Lowest coupon
Subordinated debt
Sample inputs Senior/sub notes 25%35% of total Discount notes capital T + 350650 710 years
Typically supplied by an investment or commercial bank or a mezzanine fund Riskier debt / typically unsecured Primarily bullet structures Typical tenor is 10-year High coupon Typically supplied by an investment or commercial bank or a mezzanine fund (often sponsor-affiliated) Multiple forms: Convertible debt, exchangeable debt, convertible preferred stock, PIK securities and warrants Expected IRR in the 15% 20% range Typically supplied by a financial sponsor Highest risk / cost of capital Sometimes stapled to high-yield paper to attract broader investor group Minimum annual returns >20%
Mezzanine securities
Sample inputs Sub. debt (conv.) 0%35% total capital High teens/low 20s Preferred stock 710+ years PIK Warrants
Common equity
Sample inputs 20%40% of total capital 20%-30% IRR 57 year horizon
101
Internal rate of return (IRR) is the key return benchmark utilized by financial investors
Overview
Example
IRR represents the implied discount rate at which the net present value of cash flows
equals zero The math underlying IRR is highly complex Excel and financial calculators effectively back into IRR by narrowing a series of guesses at the appropriate rate When calculating IRR, cash outflows (e.g., initial investment) are always negative, and cash inflows (e.g., exit proceeds) are always positive
Keep in mind that there may be cash flows to the sponsor prior to exit
These flows must be factored into the calculation of IRR in the period in which they are received
Debt must be paid-off or refinanced for holders of equity to receive any return on their investment
IRR is also driven by the investors pro forma equity ownership percentage
102
Together, IRR and credit ratios serve as gauges of the transaction structures viability
Overview
Example
Total debt to EBITDA Senior debt to EBITDA EBITDA to total interest EBITDA less capital expenditures to total interest
Both providers of debt and equity have minimum requirements for participating in a
transaction Debt covenants typically require periodic certification of financial ratios Equity sponsors generally will not invest without comfort as to likely returns
103
Structural benchmarks vary across industries and reflect current market conditions
Overview
Example
M&A professionals require input from colleagues actively involved in debt capital
markets in order to develop reasonable assumptions regarding capital structures in LBO analyses
EBITDA coverage (EBITDA/total interest expense) of not less than 2.0x EBITDA capital expenditures coverage [(EBITDA CAPEX)/interest expense] of not less than 1.2x Total debt/EBITDA of not more than 4.55.5x Senior debt/EBITDA of not more than 3.04.0x Senior bank term loan completely repaid in 57 years Bank debt not to exceed 60% of the initial capitalization Pure equity of not less than 25% Ability to convey growth prospects to banks and high-yield investors
104
IRR drivers
Overview
Three important factors drive IRRs: 1) De-levering 2) Operating improvement and 3) Multiple expansion (arbitrage)
No operating Operating At improvement/ improvement/ purchase No arbitrage No arbitrage EBITDA Purchase multiple EBITDA on Purchase date Firm value at Purchase date Debt at purchase (5x EBITDA) Equity value invested 7.0x $100 $700 500 200 Operating improvement and arbitrage
Example
EBITDA Exit multiple EBITDA at Exit Firm value at Exit Debt (after paydown of $75 per yr) Equity value at exit IRR (5-Year exit)

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
Historical trading and exchange ratio analysis Contribution analysis Relative multiple and discounted cash flow analysis Valuation of synergies
114
Historical exchange ratio analysis Illustrates the relative movement in stock prices (and implied
exchange ratios, aka natural exchange ratios) looking back over a certain timeframe
Calculated simply as the target share price on a given date divided by the acquiror share price
on the same date Does not include any premium to the target
Provides a historical benchmark to justify the contemplated exchange ratio Issues to consider when analyzing data include
Liquidity of shares / trading volume (small vs. large cap) Relative market attention / analyst coverage Multiple expansion of one of the companys peer group versus the other over the selected time horizon

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 (for example, Radio may focus on ATCF while 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 Pre-tax synergies required for break-even impact to EPS Pro forma ownership when stock is used as an acquisition currency Pro forma leverage/capitalization
Note that capitalization will change when stock is used and net debt leverage levels will change when cash is used
130
The capacity of the acquirer (or potential acquirers) to pay a premium for a target Optimal form of consideration (cash, stock, other securities, combination)
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

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
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 across samples
Fully diluted share assumptions and treatment of options and convertibles may vary Interest expense Tax rates Accounting policies Stock-based compensation and amortization of intangibles other than goodwill

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

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 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
145
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 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) 146
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 Negative net income targets CANNOT create meaningful accretion Accretion/(dilution) should always be sanity-checked Relative P/Es Acquirers cost of debt vs. cost of targets earnings Accretion/(dilution) should always be checked with your calculator

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
There is also an error term in the CAPM formula, but this is usually omitted
Where re = rf = rm = =
the required market return on the equity of the company the risk-free rate the return on the market the companys projected (leveraged) beta
156
Beta
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 premium will be added to or subtracted from the risk-free rate 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
157
Long-term cost of debt is used, because the cost of capital is normally applied to long-term cash flows Obtain from Bloomberg or a similar source
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 Impute unlevered beta for private company from public comparables
The market risk premium (rm - rf; i.e., the spread of market return over the risk-free rate) is periodically
estimated by M&A research based on analysis of historical data The current MRP assumption is 4.0%
In the Investment Banking menu, select more, then Financial Database Services, then Barra Betas 158
159
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
Remember the fundamentals: the market charges more for equity of companies
that are financially risky
