The Valuation Risk
Hundreds of deals for Mergers, Acquisitions, and Divestitures fail to matriculate every year because the seller wasn’t able to accurately determine the value of the company, or the buyer felt that the price was inflated to an unrealistic valuation.
Proven tools from eprentise can accurately assess the value of the business by allowing both the buyer and seller to drill down to transaction level detail to validate the actual value of the business operations. Different than valuations derived from multipliers of revenue or EBITDA, eprentise software can be used by your Oracle® EBS clients to segregate, combine, or restructure actual data so that both the buyer and seller know exactly what is being bought or sold even before the deal is closed.
M, A, & D challenges where eprentise can help:
Align
Separate
Consolidate
Purge
Filter
Synergize
Strategize
Align
Aligning calendars and charts of accounts with the acquiring company so financial reports can be generated quickly
Separate
Separate data for a divestiture, creating a child company that can rapidly operate on its own
Consolidate
Consolidate data if both the acquired company and the buyer use Oracle E-Business Suite
Purge
Purge sensitive and competitive data from an instance
Filter
Filter data to assist with an accurate valuation of an entity that is being carved out – before the sale so that both the buyer and seller have realistic expectations
Synergize
Once the merger is complete, ledgers, legal entities, operating units, and inventory organizations can be merged to leverage synergies of both companies and standardize business processes
Strategize
Provide a “clean” EBS instance that has structures that represent the current business if the plan is to eventually migrate to another ERP system. Aligning the structures in EBS means that any migration will be a straight extract from EBS, and a load into the new system. (i.e. a “Lift and Shift” directly from EBS to the new ERP without doing expensive and time-consuming transformations).

Mergers and Acquisitions: Realizing the Value
There are few things that generate excitement and speculation like the announcement of a business combination. Almost without exception, the management promise of every merger and acquisition is to increase stakeholder value. However, it seems that this is not what typically happens. As evidenced by a 2019 survey by Deloitte, 40 percent of survey respondents say that half their deals fail to generate the value they expected at the onset of a transaction. It begs the question— what is going so terribly awry? More importantly, what must be done to ensure that M&A deals do in fact deliver the maximum value possible? This article is meant to answer both of these questions.
