This PPT slide, part of the 118-slide Mergers & Acquisitions Training PowerPoint presentation, outlines the distinct roles of XYZ and other advisors in the M&A process, emphasizing a neutral, third-party perspective on strategic and financial matters. It is structured into 4 key phases: Acquisition Screening, Due Diligence, Valuation, and Integration. Each phase details the contributions of investment banks, accounting firms, and XYZ, highlighting their specific functions.
In the Acquisition Screening phase, investment banks and accounting firms focus on identifying potential acquisition candidates based on availability. They leverage their networks to compile comprehensive lists of targets. XYZ differentiates itself by determining targets aligned with corporate objectives and strategies, ensuring that acquisitions are not just opportunistic, but strategically sound.
During Due Diligence, investment banks work alongside accountants to analyze financial projections, while accounting firms conduct limited external research. XYZ's role here includes assessing the quality of customer and supplier bases, which is crucial for understanding the viability of potential targets. This thorough analysis helps in making informed decisions.
The Valuation phase sees investment banks and accounting firms valuing businesses based on comparable sales and financial metrics. XYZ constructs a discounted cash flow model that not only values the target, but also considers potential improvements, providing a more nuanced understanding of future performance.
Finally, in the Integration phase, other advisors typically have minimal involvement. In contrast, XYZ plays an active role in transition planning, focusing on cost reduction and revenue enhancement. This comprehensive approach positions XYZ as a valuable partner throughout the M&A process, ensuring that clients achieve their strategic goals effectively.
