Overview of Valuation
What are “Comps”?
There are two types of “comp”:
“Public comps”
The analysis of the public market valuations of companies comparable (hence the
term “comps”) to the subject of the assignment (“Target”)
“Transaction (or deal or M&A) comps”
The analysis of the values attributed by a [change of control] transaction to
companies that are similarly comparable
“Comps”valuation analysis constitutes a relative, as opposed to absolute, valuation
methodology
Comps provide a sanity check to more detailed valuation tools by illustrating how other
market participants valued similar assets under similar circumstances
The purpose of these materials is to provide you with a framework upon which, with
experience, you will be able to develop a thorough understanding of these two
fundamental strands of valuation
10
Valuation Training
Overview of Valuation
How Important Are They?
Almost every single project that becomes involved in requires advice on some aspect of
valuation. Examples include:
Valuing a company/subsidiary for IPO(1)/Sale
Valuing a target for acquisition
Determining a break-up valuation
Delivering a fairness opinion
There are three principal approaches to valuation:
Discounted cash flow (“DCF”)
Transaction comps
Public comps
“Doing the comps” has four stages:
Selecting the right comps
Inputting the correct data
Interpreting the results
Applying the results
COMPS ARE THEREFORE FUNDAMENTAL TO THE WORK OF IBK

Rationale
Determine value of transaction
Determine multiples compared to target’s financial performance and pre-announcement
market value
Determine control premium of specific industries
Comparability
Companies involved in transactions should have similar operating and financial
characteristics and be of similar size
Recent transactions more accurate than transactions completed in the distant past
But:
Transactions are rarely directly comparable
Transactions may include different synergy rationale
Public data can be misleading or unavailable
Acquisition multiples can vary widely
No current P/E or multiple benchmark
Misleading interpretation of same financial figures and paid
consideration.

Comparable Transactions
Analysis is performed on announcement date
Valuation of Consideration
If cash offer, equity value is calculated as amount offered per share times the target’s diluted
shares outstanding at the time of the transaction
If share offer equity value equals the exchange ratio multiplied by acquirer’s share price one
day prior to announcement multiplied by target’s diluted shares outstanding at time of
transaction

43
Valuation Training
Comparable Transaction Analysis
Key Calculations
Shares Outstanding: For Acquisition Comparables, shares outstanding consist of the
following
Shares outstanding (as of the latest financials available); plus,
Options outstanding (if in-the-money); plus
Shares pursuant to convertible securities (if in-the-money)
Convertible debt
Convertible preferred
Offer Price Per Share = price per share offered by the acquirer. In the case of an offer that
includes stock, use the acquirer's stock price one day prior to the announcement times the
exchange ratio
Offer Value = offer price per share x shares outstanding (as calculated above) – cash
proceeds from options
Transaction Value = offer value + non-convertible debt + non-convertible preferred +
minority interest – cash and marketable securities

Useful Hints
Valuation Training
Useful Hints
Useful Hints
As companies usually grow, forward multiples should decrease. Any increase of forward
multiples should be double-checked
Sales multiples < EBITDA multiples < EBIT multiples < PE Multiples
The last historical aggregates (EBITDA, EBIT, NI, Net Debt) should be checked against
Research Report used. Any discrepancy should be understood before inputting numbers
Exclude extraordinary/exceptional/non-recurring items
Some companies have more than one class of share capital, review notes in annual reports
Check for recent stock splits, rights issues
Check for recent acquisitions/disposals
Bid premium in the share price
Any out of the range company should be double-checked
Any re-treatment of information should be footnoted
Check for cyclicality when comparing companies in different markets
46
Valuation Training
Useful Hints
Outliers and Averages
Outliers can significantly affect the result
Check median vs mean
Exclude outliers if justified
Use industry sector subgroups
Consider using weighted averages
Depressed or negative financials
Exclude extraordinaries/exceptionals
Normalize financials
Certain outliers are meaningful and should not be excluded
47
Valuation Training
Useful Hints
Normalize for Non-recurring Items
Adjust for one-time items that are not expected to be part of the normal course of business
in the future
Goal = evaluate the on-going business, earnings and cash flows
Common examples
Restructuring charge
Gain/(Loss) on sale of assets
Legal settlements
Where to find non-recurring items
Separate line item in IS
Contained in other line items
– Other income/expenses
– SG&A, COGS

Overview of DCF Analysis
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis (DCF)
DCF is the only means of coming close to determine the true value of a company
Comparable valuation analysis provides an indication of what buyers may be prepared to
pay
To do so, the DCF model must be a realistic economic model of the subject company
Need to have a good understanding of the company, and, in particular, of the relationship
between
Sales and earnings
Cash flow and profit and loss
Balance sheet and profit and loss
A properly thought through DCF model will give you
a thorough understanding of the company
58
Valuation Training
Overview of DCF Analysis
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis (DCF)
DCF valuation equals the intrinsic value of a company
DCF value equals the sum of the net present value (NPV) of:
Projected free cash flows (FCF)
Projected Terminal Value
NPV is calculated using a weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
59

Cost of Capital
Valuation Training
Cost of Capital
Cost of Capital - Overview
A significant assumption in the DCF analysis is the choice of a discount rate
The cost of capital represents the required rate of return given
The risks inherent in the business
The industry
The uncertainty regarding the company’s future cash flows (volatility)
The assumed capital structure of the business
Cost of capital is always forward-looking
An investor contributes capital with the expectation that the riskiness of cash flows will be
offset by an appropriate return
Cost of capital based on comparable companies
The cost of capital is typically estimated by studying capital costs of existing investment

Cost of Capital - Overview
DCF valuation requires accurate calculation of the cost of capital
– WACC is one of the most important value drivers
WACC is a company’s cost of capital
– Based on the risks inherent in the business
– Based on an assumed capital structure of the business
– Based on comparable companies
– Based on theory of risk and return correlation (CAPM)
AND
– Always forward looking, not historical
– Always a function of the investment, not the investor
– Always based on market values, not book values

Case Study - Which Cost of Debt?
The company has a ten year bond outstanding with a coupon of 7% that matures in 2 years
and yields 6%
The company has a long-term S&P rating of BBB, which in today’s environment would
imply a spread over government bonds of 230bp
The company treasurer has told you that he has a short term line of credit from his local
commercial bank that provides most of his financing and currently costs the company
4.5%
From the annual report you can calculate that the average interest rate is 5.5%
The company has just issued a ten year convertible bond that yields 5.0%

Checks
– Check correlation coefficient (R2)
e.g. an R2 of 31% implies that 31% is market risk, 69% is diversifiable risk (not rewarded)
– Check alpha (intercept of regression line, should be zero)
– Check impact of historical time period

3. Determine Cost of Equity: Beta (cont’d)
Company and sector betas reflect existing gearing levels - they are inherently levered betas
For the cost of equity calculation, we need can a beta that reflects our chosen target capital
structure
Establish levered betas for comparable companies
Unlever these betas based on the current capital structure of each comparable company
Choose an average unlevered beta based on comparables
Lever this unlevered beta based on the target capital structure
This beta gives us a levered cost of equity that is then used in the CAPM formula to
determine the cost of capital

3. Determine Cost of Equity: Unlevered Beta (cont’d)
To calculate unlevered beta, we need to calculate the gearing ratio (D/E) and marginal tax
rate of all comparable companies
Always use market values of equity (and where deemed appropriate, of debt)
Market vs Book Value of Debt
Weighting is always based on market value, not book value
Market value of equity (= market capitalisation)
Market value of debt is usually close to book value
In most cases, book values are a good approximation of the market value of debt
Market value may be substantially different if
Riskfree interest rates have shifted substantially
Credit profile of the company has changed

Net Debt method for unlevering betas is most appropriate
Gross Debt Method
■
Method
Description
■
The market or book value of interest bearing debt is
used to unlever(1) the company Equity Beta
Net Debt Method
■
The Gross Debt Method does not net out Cash
■
■
■
Rationale
■
The Gross Debt method assumes that any cash
balance is operating cash or restricted in some way,
and cannot be used to net down debt
Therefore, under this method, we assume that the
observed Equity Beta fully takes into account the
balance sheet leverage (and the associated interest
payments the firm must make)
■
■
The effect of this leverage will lead to a higher
Levered Beta
■
Net Debt is used to establish the Current Debt
Level which is used in unlevering(1) the observed
Equity Beta
Net Debt includes Interest Bearing Debt less Cash
The Net Debt Method implicitly assumes that the
market considers a company’s cash position in
determining the relative movements of a
company’s stock versus the market
For example, If you have two identical companies
with the same amount of debt, the one with a cash
balance should have a lower observed Equity Beta
(even though both companies have the same
underlying unlevered beta)
This is because the market gives the company with
cash “credit” for having lower financial risk than the
one without
90
____________________
(1)
Unlevering Beta neutralises the effect of financial leverage from the observed Equity Beta
Unlevered Beta = (Levered Beta/(1 + ((1 - Tax Rate) * Debt/Equity)). Assumes Beta of debt equals zero

Bloomberg Adjusted Beta
Barra –
Historical/Local/ Global Predicted Beta
The adjusted Beta is derived by the following formula: adjusted ß = 0.33 + 0.66 x raw (unadjusted) ß
Regression of historical weekly return (2 years) of shares and the corresponding market index
Various assumptions can be customized on screen (duration, index, interval)
Historical Betas typically based on 60 month returns
Forecasted beta derived from Barra risk model, with 13 fundamental/ financial risk factors
Risk factors include attributes such as size, yield, P/E ratio
Risk factors reestimated on a monthly basis to reflect changes in company’s underlying risk structure
Better forecast of market sensitivity as fundamental changes in the company’s operations and
specific events are captured
Difficult to judge outcome of risk model
Merrill Lynch Beta Book
Regression of historical monthly returns (52 weeks) of shares and corresponding returns of the market index
(S&P 500) over a five year period
LBS Beta
Regression of historical monthly returns of shares and corresponding returns of the market index over a five
year period; betas updated quarterly

3. Determine Cost of Equity: Equity Risk Premium
The higher the risk of an investment, the higher the expected return
Equity Risk Premium (ERP) is differential between the return of the stock market and the
risk free rate

Return of Market = Dividend Payments + Capital Gains and Losses

3. Determine Cost of Equity: Equity Risk Premium (cont’d)
Within the financial community, there is no clear consensus over what number should be
used for the equity risk premium in the calculation of the cost of capital
We recommend the use of an equity risk premium of 6.0% based on
Evidence from historical record of equity returns in the United States and Europe
However, the entire record of market returns is not large enough to measure the ERP
with sufficient statistical precision
A broad range of studies that are consistent with an ERP significantly less than the historical
averages
Recommended Equity Risk Premium (globally): 6%

Terminal Value – Adjustments: Depreciation to Capex Ratio
Capex requirements in the terminal year of a DCF need to reflect capital needs to grow
business at the perpetual growth rate
Capex often underestimated
In addition, depreciation is typically not reflecting steady state growth, because it
reflects capex fluctuations over the useful life cycle
Therefore, always adjust relationship of depreciation to capex in terminal year to reflect
perpetual growth
Determine the level of capex in the terminal year, which supports perpetual growth of the

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Terminal Value – Alternative Method: Value Driver Approach
Instead of the perpetuity formula, growing free cash flow is expressed in terms of its value
drivers
ROIC
Growth
The value driver approach expresses the fact that firms need to reinvest an adequate
amount of net capital expenditures to sustain growth over time
g 

FCFN +1 ⋅ 1 −

ROIC 

Terminal Value =
(WACC − g )
The expression g/ROIC represents the proportion of free cash flows invested in new capital
The relationship of WACC and ROIC determines the potential for value creation
If WACC = ROIC, terminal growth will add no additional value, because the return
associated with growth equals the cost of capital
If WACC < ROIC, terminal growth adds value
If WACC > ROIC, terminal growth destroys additional value
Under the same assumptions, this method leads to the same result as the perpetuity
formula

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Terminal Value - Exit Multiples
Exit Multiples capture the continuing value of a business past “terminal point” of analysis
Commonly used method that is intuitive and easy to calculate
Use multiples that produce an aggregate enterprise value
Sales
EBITDA
EBIT
Be realistic on multiples
At time of exit, company assumed to have reached steady state: no dramatic growth
anticipated
Difficulties in using current multiples in predicting future values
Use range of multiples
121
Valuation Training
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
Terminal Value - Checks
If TV more than 50% of overall value, check assumptions
The shorter the forecast period, the greater the proportion of value from TV
Fast-growth companies may have negative FCF during forecast period, offset by positive
TV
Cross-check the relationship of capex to depreciation in TV
Cross-check TV calculation by linking multiple and perpetuity methods at different
discount rates
Don’t forget to discount back the TV!
The Terminal Value is often a significant proportion of the total value.
Think through the assumptions carefully

Determinants of Growth
Size of the firm
Smaller firms typically grow faster
As firms grow larger, it becomes more difficult to maintain high growth
Current growth
Current growth gives an indication of the
Market dynamics
Market size and opportunities determine growth
Length of high growth period depends on market barriers to entry, competitive
advantages
Growth rates of comparable companies give an indication of average growth in the sector
Regulated industries
Growth in a regulated system may be limited by the regulator
(RPI - X) regulation

Growth and Value
Summary
A simple model with constant return and growth illustrates the sources of value in a
business
At zero growth and WACC = ROIC, value of a business is equal to current (fair) value of
assets
WACC < ROIC increases valuation
WACC > ROIC decreases valuation
Growth magnifies the valuation effect
But, growth does not impact valuation if WACC = ROIC
The above simple relationships can be used as a check in every DCF model

Important Note on Risk
Should political and “additional” risk be part of WACC or part of cash flow projections?
No, should not be part of WACC, instead consider reflecting “additional” risk in cash flow
projections
• Cash flow scenarios require careful thought and provide better insights into the problem
– Know the reasons, effects, and timing of the risk
• “Fudge” factors in the WACC distort otherwise careful analysis
– Investors can diversify most of the risks
– Many risks in a country are idiosyncratic, they don’t apply equally to all industries
Incorporating risks in cash flows helps to achieve a much better
understanding of explicit risks and their effects on cash flows
than does a simple “premium” added to WACC

Line item in P&L (usually between operating profit and profit before tax)
– Income from associates = Share of profit after tax less goodwill amortisation
Cost method
Cost of the investment is recorded in the balance sheet under “Investments”
Dividend income is included in P&L as and when received
A write down of the asset value may occur if necessary
Proportionate consolidation
Used for joint ventures in some countries
Each line item is incorporated into group accounts at the ownership percentage

Leases are financial obligations for future payments and can therefore be treated like debt
There are two classes of leases
Operating leases are short term, cancelable contracts
– Do not appear on the balance sheet (off-balance sheet financing)
– Lease payments are included with other operating costs
Capital leases are long term leases over most of the estimated economic life of the asset
– Accounted for as if the lessee had purchased the asset and borrowed the funds
– Present value of lease payments is on both assets and liabilities side of balance sheet

Introduction
A seller has three means of effecting a disposal:
Sale
Theoretically, and generally, the value maximising route due to the synergies that a
trade buyer may achieve
In recent years, financial buyers have been prepared to pay high prices reflecting
their financing advantages (increase in leverage) and, often, part of the synergy
benefits that would arise from combining the business with a similar business in
their portfolio
IPO
Usually chosen due to the absence of premium paying buyers due, for example, to:
Scale of the business
Anti-trust issues
Financial predicament of buyers (i.e. the industry)
Spin-off
Generally used when the seller has no use for the proceeds.
Breakdown of conglomerates. May anticipate future sale.
Potential sale by shareholders in the future (i.e. stock sales), after lock up period
178
Objectives, Means and Requirements
Objectives
Maximise disposal value
Minimise impact of non-disposal (failure)
Disclosure of commercially sensitive information to competitors
Impact on employee morale
Means

Competition may or may not be real: the perception is key
“Dual track”: running a sale and IPO process in parallel
Requirements
Attractive asset; and/or
Credible business strategy (e.g. turnaround story)
At least one (keen) buyer

A meeting is typically then held to discuss/agree differences of opinion regarding
matters of principle
The draft is revised and recirculated
Markups of the draft circulate until the document is agreed
It is then signed by the principals

Aspectos preliminares de una operación – El problema de la asistencia
financiera
Artículo 81 LSA. Asistencia financiera para la adquisición de acciones propias.
“La sociedad no podrá anticipar fondos, conceder préstamos, prestar garantías ni facilitar ningún tipo de
asistencia financiera para la adquisición de sus acciones o de acciones de su sociedad dominante por
un tercero.” …
Artículo 150 LSC. Asistencia financiera para la adquisición de acciones propias y de participaciones o
acciones de la sociedad dominante.
1.
La sociedad anónima no podrá anticipar fondos, conceder préstamos, prestar garantías ni facilitar
ningún tipo de asistencia financiera para la adquisición de sus acciones o de participaciones o
acciones de su sociedad dominante por un tercero.
La prohibición de la asistencia financiera en el Ordenamiento español dificulta a priori las operaciones
de LBO, si bien existen diversas estructuras habitualmente utilizadas para circunvalar dicha
prohibición
Pronunciamientos recientes: Sección 28ª de la Audiencia Provincial de Madrid: Interpretación
restrictiva del artículo 81 de la LSA. “… Esta situación tampoco aparece comprendida en la prohibición
del Artículo 81 del TRLSA, precepto que debe ser interpretado restrictivamente y que requiere que se
preste específicamente para la adquisición de acciones, como motivo determinante de la operación. Si
la finalidad financiera no existe o no es esencial, y prevalece otra, ya no puede afirmarse que se
incurra en tal prohibición…”
Estructuras habitualmente empleada:
1.
2.
Vehículo constituido por el comprador adquiere la compañía objetivo. La deuda permanece en el
vehículo que utiliza los dividendos de la entidad adquirida para repagar intereses y amortizar el
capital
a.
Distribución de reservas / amortización de capital / prima de emisión
b.
Consolidación fiscal
c.
Deducibilidad fiscal del fondo de comercio
Posterior fusión del vehículo con la compañía adquirida
a.
Mecanismos (operativos y financieros) para evitar la impugnación de la fusión
204
Aspectos preliminares de una operación – Principales fases y
características de un proceso de adquisición
Dependiendo del tipo de operación, las fases de un proceso pueden variar, si bien todas
las transacciones siguen un esquema similar:
1. Identificación de la compañía objetivo
2. Contactos preliminares
3. Due diligence inicial
4. Presentación de una propuesta inicial / Firma de un Acuerdo de Intenciones
5. Due
Diligence
adicional
medioambiente, etc.)
(asesores,
auditores,
abogados,
comercial,
6. Negociaciones con accionistas / equipo directivo
7. Preparación de la financiación de la operación
8. Acuerdo, firma y cierre de la transacción
205
9. El día después – Plan Estratégico
Aspectos preliminares de una operación – Los Consorcios de Fondos
Cada vez se observa de manera más habitual que dos o más fondos acudan conjuntamente
a procesos de compra, o analicen de forma combinada oportunidades de adquisición
Permiten a los fondos abarcar su espectro de cobertura y llegar a operaciones más
grandes; mega deals
Permiten asimismo compartir la experiencia, los ángulos y conocimientos de los
diversos participantes
Reduce el número de competidores
Diversifican el riesgo
No obstante lo anterior:
Ralentizan la gestión y disminuyen la capacidad de maniobra (movimiento al
ritmo del más lento de los socios)
En operaciones de tamaño mediano resulta más complicado
En los casos de minorías, la falta de control implica una hipótesis de precio más
bajo (en la salida), generalmente un apalancamiento menor, y por tanto un
impacto negativo en la valoración ofrecida al vendedor
Ejemplos relevantes en España: Amadeus (Cinven – BC Partners), Itevelesa (Apax –
Vista Capital), Holmes Place (Mercapital – Dinamia), Iberostar (Carlyle – Vista
Capital), Cortefiel (CVC-Permira-PAI), etc.
206

capital del fondo adquirente

219
Valoración de la inversión en cartera – Principales parámetros
Desde el momento de la compra de una entidad hasta la desinversión en la compañía
adquirida, los gestores de un fondo de capital riesgo utilizan diversos sistemas de
valoración de su cartera de participadas
Mediante estos sistemas los partícipes en el fondo (“limited partners”) deben ser capaces
de evaluar el comportamiento de las compañías y su situación en un momento dado en el
tiempo, sin tener que esperar por tanto a la desinversión, lo cual otorgaría poca claridad y
visibilidad a los inversores durante la vida de un fondo, que puede prolongarse durante
periodos de más de 10 años
A continuación repasamos brevemente los principales
habitualmente utilizados por las entidades de private equity:
sistemas
y
parámetros
1. Valor de la inversión
a. Especialmente para inversiones recientes
b. Pierde valor a medida que transcurre tiempo desde la inversión, ya que
únicamente refleja el precio y condiciones de mercado existentes en el
momento en el que se realizó la inversión
c.
Actualización si se da entrada a un nuevo inversor (este sistema puede
ocasionar errores, en función de las características particulares y
condicionantes del nuevo inversor: prima de control, inversión estratégica, etc.)
d. La no actualización del valor puede llevar a pensar que se ha producido un
deterioro del activo no adecuadamente reflejado por el fondo
220
Valoración de la inversión en cartera – Principales parámetros (Cont.)
2. Múltiplos sobre beneficios u otro parámetro contable
a. Aplicación de un múltiplo sobre ventas, EBITDA, EBIT(A), FCF, EBITDACAPEX, Beneficio Neto, etc.
b. Premisa de un negocio que genera beneficios recurrentes a futuro
c.
Múltiplos de compañías cotizadas comparables, o …
d. Múltiplos de transacciones comparables
e. Requiere identificación de beneficios “normalizados”.
extraordinarios, ventas u operaciones puntuales, etc.
f.
Exclusión
de
Inclusión de activos periféricos no generadores de caja
g. Aplicación de comparables apropiados, algo no siempre fácil de determinar
h. Aplicación de posibles descuentos y ajustes al múltiplo (mercado, iliquidez,
dependencias puntuales, calidad de los beneficios, alto apalancamiento, etc.)
i.
Determinación del valor de los fondos propios, una vez sustraído todo el coste
y valor del endeudamiento neto financiero
j.
Otros factores
221
Valoración de la inversión en cartera – Principales parámetros (Cont.)
3. Valor de los Activos Netos
a. Valor de un negocio como valor de los activos netos del mismo
b. Empleado en compañías cuyo valor deriva principalmente del valor de sus
activos, más que en la capacidad para generar beneficios a futuro
(inmobiliarias, entidades de inversión, patrimoniales, etc.)
c.
Posibilidad para compañías en liquidación, o en pérdidas
d. Valor de activos periféricos, bases imponibles negativas y otros
e. Raramente utilizado por los fondos
222
Valoración de la inversión en cartera – Principales parámetros (Cont.)
4. Descuento de Flujos de Caja
a. Valor presente de los flujos de caja (o beneficios) que la entidad generará a
futuro
b. Técnica comúnmente utilizada, tanto por fondos como por asesores financieros
c.
Este sistema conlleva la utilización de una serie de hipótesis para determinar
las proyecciones futuras del negocio, el valor terminal del mismo, tipo de
descuento a aplicar a los flujos de caja futuros, etc.
d. Como consecuencia de lo anterior, el resultando obtenido puede verse influido
sensiblemente por pequeñas modificaciones en las hipótesis iniciales
e. Empleado en negocios maduros. Para negocios en crecimiento, expansión, en
fase de reestructuración o en pérdidas es poco utilizado

b.
Criterios específicos de valoración del sector
i.
Utilizados en sectores específicos (Hostelería, negocios de suscripción,
medios, etc.)
ii.
Contratos a largo plazo o con características especiales para su
valoración de forma independiente del resto del negocio
iii.
Concesiones (duración, condiciones, etc.)
Disponibilidad de precios de mercado
i.
Participaciones en compañías cotizadas valoradas a valor de mercado,
salvo que existan situaciones especiales que incidan sobre el mismo
(bajo free float, prima de control, intervención pública, etc.)

226
Principales estrategias de desinversión – Buy-backs (recompra por
parte de otros accionistas)
El inversor financiero se desprende de su participación mediante la venta a otros
accionistas de la compañía
Habitual en la venta de participaciones minoritarias, si bien se dan supuestos de venta de
mayorías
Diversas posibilidades: Venta al equipo directivo (inversor y normalmente accionistas
originales o traídos por el fondo de capital riesgo), a otro inversor financiero, accionistas
minoritarios, etc.
En ocasiones se combina con una ampliación de capital y entrada de un nuevo accionista
que apoya a los existentes no desinversores
Existe asimismo la posibilidad de venta de la participación a la compañía en los casos en
los que el apalancamiento financiero es bajo, el equipo directivo está involucrado, etc.
Supuestos de procesos de venta en marcha con resultados no satisfactorios para alguno de
los socios
Derechos de adquisición preferente previsto en los Estatutos / Acuerdo de Socios que
limiten otras alternativas
227
Protección en la venta (cláusula anti-embarassment)
Ejemplos: TCB, Bodybell, Hospitén
Principales estrategias de desinversión – Secondary Buyouts
Venta de una compañía participada a otro inversor financiero. El proceso de desinversión puede ser una
simple sustitución del inversor financiero, venta del 100% del capital, incorporación al capital de directivos
que no participaban en el mismo, salida e incorporación de nuevos directivos, etc.
Ventajas
COMPRADOR
VENDEDOR
Adquisición de una compañía ordenada y
estructurada
Proceso de Due Diligence ya realizado
Compañía habituada a la titularidad de un fondo, y
al apalancamiento financiero
Continuidad del equipo directivo (normalmente
habitual)
Posibilidad de continuar con el desarrollo y
crecimiento de la compañía, y llevarla a una
siguiente fase de su expansión (fondos de mayor
tamaño)
Alternativa cada vez más habitual de salida, y más
empleada sobre el IPO, y fuente de liquidez para
casas de menor tamaño
Seguridad sobre la reputación y delivery del
comprador
Incremento de la competitividad y, a priori, de la
valoración obtenida en la venta
Desventajas
Peor valor estratégico que una compra a un industrial
Percepción de pago de sobreprecio
Titularidad anterior puede haber “cortado toda la grasa” y
hacer potenciales mejoras difíciles de obtener
Riesgo de única alternativa para una inversión poco exitosa
para el vendedor
Los inversores pueden percibir la compra como un “cambio
de cromos” entre firmas de capital riesgo, con el único
objeto de percibir comisiones
Problemas de valoración del activo (sólo basado en LBO)
La evolución de la compañía puede sufrir como
consecuencia de una visión estratégica a corto/medio plazo
Disminución de la posibilidad de obtener retornos elevados
La valoración puede sufrir en las últimas fases de los
procesos
Venta vs. Recapitalización financiera
Inexistencia de “strategic premium” del comprador
Posible percepción de falta de capacidad del fondo para
vender activos fuera de procesos abiertos o a inversores
industriales en procesos restringidos
Ejemplos: Parques Reunidos, Svenson, Mivisa, Dorna, Itevelesa, Saprogal, etc.
228
Principales estrategias de desinversión – Venta a un Industrial
Las sinergias operativas deben tener su reflejo en la obtención de un precio superior al
vendedor
No obstante el comprador puede sufrir restricciones que le impidan alcanzar el precio
exigido/deseado por el fondo desinversor (apalancamiento, múltiplos propios de cotización,
percepción del mercado de sobrepago, etc.)
Menor preocupación por la calidad del equipo directivo
Due Diligence enfocado más a aspectos de integración y sinergias que a la detección de
contingencias
No necesitan conocimiento ni entendimiento de la industria, lo cual les otorga una ventaja
frente a competidores puramente financieros
Posibles problemas de competencia
Procesos internos de decisión más lentos que los de un inversor financiero
No preocupados por una salida a futuro, dado que esto se ve como una situación poco
probable en el momento de la compra
229
Ejemplos: Cervezas Alhambra, Integral Press, CESA, Panzani
Principales estrategias de desinversión – Mercados Cotizados
Venta en Bolsa
1. Venta de participaciones en compañías cotizadas
2. Infrecuente en LBOs, dada su habitual exclusión de los mercados cotizados una
vez concluida la operación
3. Sí se da en la toma de participaciones minoritarias en compañías cotizadas por
fondos especializados en este tipo de operaciones, y Hedge Funds
OPV (Salidas a Bolsa)
1. Preparación previa intensa de la compañía para el proceso
2. Baja liquidez y apetito del mercado español hacen que esta vía no sea la habitual
en procesos de desinversión
3. Proceso: Folleto, Valoración Inicial, Roadshow, Ofertas indicativas, Fijación final del
precio, Inicio de cotización
Desinversiones Post OPV
1. Ofertas secundarias
2. Incremento del free float de la entidad que facilita operación, salvo que la
desinversión incluya personas “clave” para la compañía
3. Precio influido por OPV, si el plazo temporal no es lo suficientemente amplio
Ejemplos: Clínica Baviera, GAM, Vueling, Yell, William Hill, etc.
230
Principales estrategias de desinversión – Recapitalizaciones
Una recapitalización o refinanciación del pasivo financiero de una entidad adquirida por
un fondo consiste en el reapalancamiento de dicha entidad mediante el aumento de la
deuda soportada, directa o indirectamente, por la compañía
Los fondos obtenidos son utilizados para el pago de un dividendo extraordinario a los
accionistas
Esta operación puede realizarse:
1.
En el momento de la adquisición (finalizado el cierre), una vez el comprador se
familiarice con la compañía objetivo y descubra nuevas fuentes adicionales de
financiación (p.ej. Sale & Leaseback de activos), o
2.
Con posterioridad, como consecuencia de:
i.
La amortización progresiva de la deuda de adquisición
ii.
La mejora de los resultados operativos y generación de caja de la compañía
adquirida
iii.
La mejora de las condiciones ofrecidas por las entidades financieras, que
permitan el incremento de la deuda de la compañía
Procedimiento cada vez utilizado con mayor frecuencia y antelación por parte de los
231
inversores financieros como alternativa a la desinversión, y sistema de mejora de la TIR
de la inversión
Ejemplos: Mivisa, Ahold, Zena, Cortefiel, Itevelesa, Parques Reunidos, Dorna, etc.
Principales estrategias de desinversión – Reconocimiento de
Minusvalías y Reembolso de Préstamos
Uno de los primeros síntomas de que una inversión no evoluciona de forma favorable:
Incumplimiento de covenants del contrato de financiación, con la consiguiente solicitud de
waivers
Cuando suceden estos hechos, y dependiendo de la gravedad del incumplimiento, las
entidades financieras pueden adoptar diversas medidas, que van desde la concesión del
waiver sin más, hasta la venta de su participación en el préstamo / bonos afectados, a un
valor inferior al nominal (a descuento)
En ocasiones se procederá simultáneamente a realizar una ampliación de capital cuyos
fondos se emplearán para amortizar deuda, reduciendo la presión financiera de la
compañía
Resulta extremadamente infrecuente que un inversor financiero reconozca una minusvalía
en una compañía de su cartera de participadas, manteniendo el valor en libros de la misma
hasta que la situación se haya deteriorado hasta tal punto (quiebra, suspensión de pagos,
etc.) que deba proceder a reconocer una minusvalía o un write off (eliminación) de la
inversión
El resultado final es la pérdida económica de todas las partes involucradas: El fondo pierde
todo o parte de su inversión, los bancos todo o parte de la financiación, y el equipo directivo
no ve cumplidas sus expectativas
Ejemplos: Paconsa, Grupo Labiana, Vanyera, Fairchild Dornier, Kierkert
232
Case Study – Svenson I y II
Descripción de la Compañía
Descripción de la Adquisición

En el periodo de inversión, y tras la entrada de un nuevo equipo gestor, la
compañía realizó con gran éxito 17 nuevas aperturas en España
Apoyado por el gran crecimiento en España, en marzo de 2004 adquiere
Svenson Haar Studios, compañía gemela en Alemania. Contaba con 11
centros
En octubre 2004 dieron entrada en el capital de la compañía a un Family
Office español
En 2005, siguiendo con el plan de expansión previsto, Svenson amplió su
presencia geográfica con la entrada en Portugal, abriendo un centro en
Lisboa y adquiriendo un centro en Alemania
Descripción de la Desinversión
A comienzos de 2005, Nazca comienza un proceso de análisis de
refinanciación de la compañía, que finalmente derivó en un proceso de
venta dadas las excelentes perspectivas que existían para la venta, y el
interés que el sector generaba en potenciales compradores

Tras una subasta restringida extremadamente competitiva, el equipo gestor
junto a un grupo de inversores financieros liderados por Investindustrial
adquieren Svenson por un valor compañía de €121 mm
El paquete de deuda alcanzó niveles de ~8,0x EBITDA. Nazca multiplica su
inversión por 9,0x
