Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article examines the impact of the method of payment used in acquisitions on the acquiring firms' post-merger operating cash flow and some of its components cash inflow from sales, cash payments to suppliers, and payments for other operating expenses. I find that acquiring firms that pay with cash are able to increase their post-merger cash flow significantly, relative to peer firms, primarily through improved asset turnover (sales per dollar of assets). The post-merger cash flow of stock acquisitions, however, declines significantly. Although stock acquisitions are able to implement effective cost-cutting strategies, the decline in asset turnover outweighs benefits from cost-cutting strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine a sample of 1,175 firms following their acquisition of another firm. Consistent with previous work, we measure the operating performance of these firms in event-time, and find that they experience significantly positive abnormal operating performance subsequent to their acquisition. When we measure their abnormal operating performance in calendar-time, however, we find that our sample firms' abnormal operating performance is insignificant. In short, we find that the standard event-time measures of abnormal operating performance overstate the benefits of corporate acquisitions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We compare long-run operating performances between acquirers of private targets and acquirers of public targets using samples of Australian acquisitions for the period 2000-2010. The acquirers of private targets realise statistically significant positive abnormal returns during the announcement period of completed acquisitions while acquirers of public targets earn normal returns. However, the operating performance of the former group during the post-acquisition period is not significantly different from that of the latter group. The stock-financed acquisitions are not associated with significant performance improvements irrespective of whether this method of payment is used to finance acquisitions of private or public targets. However, there is evidence to suggest that cash-financed acquisitions of public targets are associated with significant performance improvements while no such performance improvements were evident for cash-financed acquisitions of private targets. The concentrated ownership created through acquisitions of private targets is associated with significant improvement in the long-run operating performance for acquirers. Acquisitions of private targets are also associated with significant performance improvements if they are undertaken by experienced acquirers.

Download or read book International Mergers and Acquisitions Activity Since 1990 written by Greg N. Gregoriou and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-06-29 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now a well-know fact that mergers and acquisitions activity comes in waves. The most recent wave, the 5th takeover wave of the 1990s, was characterized by an unprecedented number of corporate restructurings in terms of mergers and acquisitions (M&As), public-to-private transactions, spin-offs and divestitures, and leveraged recapitalizations. Following the collapse of the stock market in March 2000, M&A activity slumped dramatically, but this pause ended in the second half of 2004 when takeover deals occurred again quite frequently. Indeed, some observers wonder whether the 6th takeover wave has started. The takeover wave in the 1990s was particularly remarkable in terms of size and geographical dispersion. For the first time, Continental European firms were as eager to participate as their US and UK counterparts, and M&A activity in Europe hit levels similar to those experienced in the US. Due to its financial impact and the unprecedented activity in Continental Europe, the 5th takeover wave of the 1990s and recent takeover activity (in biotech, utilities, pharmaceuticals) have triggered a great deal of interesting academic research. This volume brings together a selection of insightful papers. An impressive group of international authors address the following themes: takeover regulation; the cyclical pattern of the M&A markets and probable causes and effects; methods to determine the performance of success of M&A actions; cross border deals; means of payment and its effects; studies of hostile bids; high leverage takeovers and delistings. *A selection of the best and latest quantitative research on M&A activity worldwide*Impressive collection of international authors*Provides important insights and implications for practitioners

Download or read book Does Corporate Performance Improve after Mergers written by Paul M. Healy and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the post-acquisition operating performance of merged firms using a sample of the 50 largest mergers between U.S. public industrial firms completed in the period 1979 to 1983. The results indicate that merged firms have significant improvement in asset productivity relative to their industries after the merger, leading to higher post-merger operating cash flow returns. Sample firms maintain their capital expenditure and Ramp;D rates relative to their industries after the merger, indicating that merged firms do not reduce their long-term investments. There is a strong positive relation between postmerger increases in operating cash flows and abnormal stock returns at merger announcements, indicating that expectations of economic improvements underlie the equity revaluations of the merging firms.

This book was released on 2013-08-07 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, grade: 1,3, University of Cologne (Seminar für allgemeine BWL und Controlling), language: English, abstract: “Warren Buffett swallows Heinz: Sauce for the sage” – a typical takeover announcement was published lately on 14th February 2013. Warren Buffett, a well known inves tor, acquired along with the financial investor 3G Capital the H. J. Heinz Company for $ 28 billion. This is likely to become the largest transaction in the food industry. The company's stock price rose more than 20.0 percent after the publication which is a very characteristic reaction to deal announcements. Hence, the important question is, if transactions, such as the takeover of the H. J. Heinz Company, affect the corporate performance consistently. In general, the core idea about mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is to generate additional future growth if for example organic growth is limited. If two companies merge or a target is bought by another company (the acquirer), shareholders believe in synergy effects. These are revenue enhancements, cost reductions, tax gains and reduced capital requirements leading to business growth and thus to a higher value of the new company. However, it is questionable if this theory can also be experienced in the real world. Ever since the effects of M&A have been analysed, the market of the United States (US) was used as data source. This is plausible due to the fact that the very first information was well recorded for US companies. It is remarkable that literature contributes very little research on Europe, although the number of announced European transactions is comparable to those of the US. For example, in 2007 the European deals volume overtook the one from the United States of America (USA) for the first time. Moreover, research on single European countries almost never exists or only rarely. One exception is the United Kingdom (UK) with an early takeover history beginning in the 1960s. However, European countries should be analysed separately because of its high diversity regarding the accounting framework, the corporate governance or the legal and regulation structure. For instance, Germany is characterised by conservative accounting principles and a high regulation by the banking sector. These issues may also influence the M&A decision making process.

Download or read book The Impact of Acquisitions on Operating Performance written by Divesh Sharma and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the impact of acquisitions on the operating performance of Australian firms. For a sample of 36 Australian acquisitions occurring between 1986 to 1991 inclusive, and using matched firms to control for industry and economy-wide factors, the results based on four accrual and four cash flow performance measures show that corporate acquisitions do not lead to significant improvements in post-acquisition operating performance. The consistency of the results with the agency, the hubris and the financial motivation hypotheses suggests that corporate acquisitions in Australia may be undertaken for other than synergistic reasons. The results assist explain inconsistent findings reported in the literature.
