Financial Valuation Model and Presentation Each team must complete one financial model to be submitted prior to the last day of class. The completed model will include the base case, the valuation of the synergies and the total valuation of the target company which is a roll-up of the first two worksheets. Each team must prepare a presentation supporting the proposed acquisition. The presentation should consist of the following: o An overview of both companies, acquirer, and target, including description of senior management, types of business, major products, brands and/or service offerings, location, recent major transactions, recent financial performance, and news, etc. o The business rationale as to why the acquisition makes sense, whether shareholders of either/both companies should support it, and the impact on competition o A value of the target company before the theoretical acquisition and ultimate value of the company to the acquirer, i.e. after accounting for all synergies. o A discussion of the valuation assumptions which will include: The base case business as is- including recent history along with 10-year projections. The incremental impact of the acquisition including the incremental and new valuation, top-line growth, margin improvement, etc.. In short, all synergies should be identified and valued individually. A discussion of how the synergies will be achieved. o Presentation of the financial model including any charts or graphs necessary to support/communicate your findings. o Each team will present their findings to the board of directors in a live video conference using Zoom, to be scheduled with the instructor.
