on revenue growth rate, profit margin and discount factor used.

M&A Considerations
What does the goodwill represent? Synergies? Economies of
Scale?
Is the premium paid for acquisition supportable by cashflow
projections used to test for annual impairment?

15. Key Points
Smaller Capitalisation = less attention from market
investors = higher expected return = lower valuation
(all else equal)
Acquisitions or mergers can lead to higher
capitalisation, lower risk and higher valuation, but…
Consider the post deal valuation issues early, i.e. in
the pre deal valuation exercise
Impact on post merger/acquisition financials
(definite lived vs. indefinite intangibles)
Robustness of business model and forecast
assumptions (pre deal “euphoria” can lead to
serious post deal consequences)
