This PPT slide, part of the 25-slide Post-Merger Integration (PMI): 6 Strategies for Synergies PowerPoint presentation, presents a visual comparison of revenue synergies versus cost synergies achieved over a five-year period following a merger or acquisition. It emphasizes that companies typically take longer to realize revenue synergies compared to cost synergies. The graph illustrates the percentage of total synergy targets captured at the end of each year, starting from the deal close.
At the close of the deal, companies capture an initial 33% of their synergy target. This figure increases steadily over the next 4 years, reaching 93% by the end of year five. The incremental gains each year are highlighted, showing an increase of 27 percentage points in year two, 22 in year three, and 22 in year four. This steady upward trend underscores the long-term nature of capturing revenue synergies, contrasting sharply with the more immediate gains often associated with cost synergies.
The dashed line representing cost synergies is illustrative, suggesting that while cost synergies can be realized quickly, revenue synergies require a more sustained effort. The slide serves as a reminder for executives to set realistic expectations regarding the timeline for achieving synergy targets, particularly in the context of revenue generation. Understanding this timeline is crucial for strategic planning and resource allocation in post-merger integration efforts. The content is designed to aid decision-makers in recognizing the importance of patience and strategic focus in realizing the full potential of their mergers.
