Hager’s Home Repair Company, a regional hardware chain, which specializes in “do-it-yourself” materials and equipment rentals, is considering an acquisition of Lyon Lighting (LL). Doug Zona, Hager’s treasurer and your boss, has been asked to place a value on the target and he has enlisted your help. LL has 20 million shares of stock trading at $12 per share. Security analysts estimate LL’s beta to be 1.25. The risk-free rate is 5.5% and the market risk premium is 4%. LL’s capital structure is 20% financed with debt at an 8% interest rate; any additional debt due to the acquisition also will have an 8% rate. LL has a 25% federal-plus-state tax rate, which will not change due to the acquisition. The following data incorporate expected synergies and required levels of total net operating capital for LL should Hager’s complete the acquisition. The forecasted interest expense includes the combined interest on LL’s existing debt and on new debt. After 2024, all items are expected to grow at a constant 6% rate. Note: aDebt is added on the first day of the year, so the 2019 debt is LL’s debt prior to the acquisition. Hager’s management is new to the merger game, so Zona has been asked to answer some basic questions about mergers as well as to perform the merger analysis. To structure the task, Zona has developed the following questions, which you must answer and then defend to Hager’s board: What are the steps in valuing a merger using the compressed APV approach?

What method is appropriate? Use the projections and other data to determine the LL division’s free cash flows and interest tax savings for 2020 through 2024. Notice that the LL division’s sales are expected to grow rapidly during the first years before leveling off at a sustainable long-term growth rate.

There is a firm, which we have identified to buy. It has $100 million, $30 and $70 m assets, equity and debt respectively. It also has $40 m of cash. We want to buy a majority interest in the firm by using a lot of debt and as little equity as possible on our part. If we assume that there will be a 20% premium increase once we start bidding for the firm, how much should we borrow, if we can use the cash of the target itself to fund our acquisition?
