Challenge
The company had defined growth strategy and their M&A agenda played a critical role in fueling the growth. Management decided to launch a project to assess the match of a handful of potential target companies with their own business and strategy.
Brave the future
Project began by analyzing target companies’ strategies, operations and financials. Operational synergies by function were assessed and initial valuations were made in a pragmatic way just to provide sufficient basis for evaluating EPS contribution, changes in the capital structure and other financial impacts of alternative transactions. Finally, strategic fit was considered and investment rationale described for each of the targets.
The impact
The outcome of the work was a firm understanding of the most attractive M&A targets and priorities. The company initiated multiple M&A activities based on the analysis.
