Estimating Synergy Value Using Scale Curves PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 25-slide Post-Merger Integration (PMI): 6 Strategies for Synergies PowerPoint presentation, presents the Scale Curve technique as a method for estimating synergy value during merger preparations. It emphasizes the importance of triangulation, which involves gathering data from various sources, such as industry peers, previous integration efforts, and proprietary databases. This approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of the potential cost benefits associated with increased volume.

The chart illustrates how unit costs decrease as volume increases, highlighting 2 specific slopes: 90% and 70%. A 90% slope indicates that for every doubling of volume, unit costs decrease by 10%. Conversely, a 70% slope suggests a more significant reduction, with unit costs dropping by 30% for the same volume increase. This visual representation aids in understanding the relationship between volume and cost efficiency.

The slide also notes that as volume rises, unit costs decline according to the slope of the Scale Curve, reinforcing the concept that higher operational scale can lead to substantial cost savings. This insight is crucial for executives considering mergers, as it provides a framework for evaluating potential synergies and setting realistic stretch targets.

Overall, the content serves as a valuable resource for decision-makers looking to leverage data-driven insights in their merger strategies. The Scale Curve technique not only aids in authenticating data, but also helps in quantifying the financial benefits that can arise from increased operational scale.
