Sensible Reasons for Mergers
Economies of Scale
Economies of Vertical Integration
Combining Complementary Resources
Mergers as a Use for Surplus Funds

Economies of Scale
With economies of scale, a larger firm may be able to reduce its per unit cost.
How?
![Page 5: Lecture 11: Mergers, Acquisitions and Corporate Control](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c0c550346895da5782d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Economies of Vertical Integration
Control over suppliers “may” reduce costs. Over-integration can cause the opposite effect.

Combining Complementary Resources
Merging may result in each firm filling in the “missing pieces” of their firm with pieces from the other firm.
Firm A
Firm B
Example: A small firm may have a valuable patent, but lack the engineering and sales organization necessary to produce and market it on a large scale. It could be acquired by a larger firm with those capacities already in place.

Use for Surplus Funds
If your firm is in a mature industry with few, if any, positive NPV projects available, acquisition may be the best use of your funds.
What might this imply about the pre- and post-acquisition PVGO?

Dubious Reasons for Mergers
Diversification
The Bootstrap Game
![Page 9: Lecture 11: Mergers, Acquisitions and Corporate Control](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c0c550346895da5782d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Diversification
Diversification Investors should not pay a premium for
diversification since they can do it themselves.
![Page 10: Lecture 11: Mergers, Acquisitions and Corporate Control](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c0c550346895da5782d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

The Bootstrap Game
Acquiring Firm has high P/E ratio
Selling firm has low P/E ratio (due to low number of shares)
After merger, acquiring firm has short term EPS rise
Long term, acquirer will have slower than normal EPS growth due to share dilution.
![Page 11: Lecture 11: Mergers, Acquisitions and Corporate Control](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c0c550346895da5782d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

The Bootstrap Game: Example
World Enterprises (before merger) Muck and Slurry
World Enterprises (after buying Muck
and Slurry)
EPS $2.00 $2.00 $2.67Price per share $40.00 $20.00 $40.00P/E Ratio 20 10 15Number of shares 100,000 100,000 150,000 Total earnings $200,000 $200,000 $400,000Total market value $4,000,000 $2,000,000 $6,000,000
Current earnings per dollar invested in stock $0.05 $0.10 $0.067

The Form of the Acquisition
Merger – When the acquiring firm buys all the assets and all the liabilities of the other firm and combines them into one firm
Tender Offer – The acquiring firm buys all the stock of the target firm
Asset Purchase – When the acquiring firm buys only the assets of the target. The target continues to exist as firm with cash instead of assets

Evaluating Mergers Ask:
Is there an overall economic gain to the merger? Do the terms of the merger make the company
and its shareholders better off?

Financing Mergers
Mergers Financed by Cash
Mergers Financed by Stock

Evaluating Mergers
Economic Gain = PV(increased earnings)
= New cash flows from synergies

Evaluating Mergers: ExampleGiven a 20% cost of funds, what is the economic gain, if any, of
the merger listed below? (GenPharm acquires Biotex)
GenPharm Biotex Combined Company
Revenues 200 25 225 (+0)
Operating Costs 110 17 120 (- 7)
Earnings 90 8 105 (+7)
