Case Solution for Valuation of AirThread Connections

Case Name :      Valuation of AirThread Connections
Authors :           Erik Stafford, Joel L. Heilprin
Source :             HBS Brief Cases
Case ID :            4263
Discipline :        Finance
Case Length :    15 pages
Solution sample availability : YES
Plagiarism : NO (100% Original work)
Description for case is given below :
This case can be used as a capstone valuation exercise for first-year MBA students in an introductory finance course. A senior associate in the business development group at American Cable Communications, one of the largest cable companies in the U.S., must prepare a preliminary valuation for acquiring AirThread Connections, a regional cellular provider. The acquisition would give American Cable access to wireless technology and the wireless spectrum and enable the company to offer competitive service bundles including wireless, currently a hole in the company’s service offering. Students learn the basic valuation concepts including DCF (discounted cash flow) using APV (adjusted present value) and WACC (weighted average cost of capital) and they must choose the appropriate approach for situations in which the capital structure is changing or assumed to be constant. Students must consider the effect of constant debt versus the D/V (debt-to-value ratio) in estimating betas and the costs of capital. In addition, students analyze the effects of non-operating assets on valuation. As an additional assignment, instructors can require students to consider the personal tax disadvantage of debt as well as the synergies American Cable expects to achieve following the acquisition.

Description for case is given below :
The owners of Aquarius Ales, a popular Sixth Street pub in Austin, Texas, received an offer to sell their business to a pair of University of Texas business school graduates for $450,000. Was this a fair offer? If not, what would be an appropriate counter offer? The case looks at the prospect for revenues for the pub in light of declining alcohol consumption among the general population. Aquarius Ales’ niche was appealing to those who liked 60s and 70s music, with its name coming from a song in the hit sixties musical “Hair.” Although the pub’s main product – alcoholic beverages – was a commodity, the pub had the advantage of a desirable location, decrease in the number of competitors and a population of college students who enjoyed “oldies.”

Description for case is given below :
The purpose of this case was to determine whether ACE Private Equity Partners, a mid-size private equity fund, should acquire two physical therapy companies in order to develop them for subsequent sale to a larger private equity firm. This situation represented another opportunity for ACE’s general partners to implement their “merger consolidation” investment strategy for their fund investors or limited partners. This investment strategy was to buy several private firms in the same industry, develop them for three to five years with revenue growth and cost saving synergies and, then, sell this larger consolidated company. This investment strategy was summarized by three major tactics: 1) build more valuable companies through growth and consolidation, 2) use arbitrage to buy smaller companies at lower private company EBITDA multiples and, then, sell them as a larger combined enterprise at higher public company EBITDA multiples, and 3) leverage the acquisitions with debt to spread risk and enhance returns.

Syntonix Pharmaceuticals, a Boston biopharmaceutical startup company, was seeking additional financing for growth. The company had developed and patented an improved delivery platform for long-acting biopharmaceuticals and then utilized that technology to develop new therapies to treat chronic diseases. The Transceptor® technology utilized a unique biological pathway to allow efficient delivery of SynFusion™ drug therapies. Several companies licensed the technologies in joint development deals to address several different conditions: Hemophilia B, autoimmune disorders, and infertility, as well as for use in enhanced peptide inhalation. The company had used up Angel money and Rounds A and B of venture capital financing and was looking for an additional $80 – $100 million for growth. In September 2006, Syntonix was in negotiations with a VC syndicate to gain a ‘C’ Round of funding. One member of the proposed syndicate, Biogen Idec, indicated interest in buying Syntonix outright. The founders needed to make a decision about the offer.

Description for case is given below :
A utility company must replace an aging coal-fired power plant. Accordingly, management must develop an Integrated Resource Plan that carefully explores all reasonable options considering the varied interests of many stakeholders, including electricity users, regulators, environmentalists, and the community in which a new power plant will be built. State regulators require that the utility company minimize the costs to ratepayers, but costs are difficult to determine given the potential for high taxes on carbon emissions as well as volatile fuel costs during the multi-decade lifetime of the replacement. The analysis is further complicated by the differences in project risk associated with the different technologies. The senior vice-president must choose carefully, because he will be required to defend that choice to many varied and passionate stakeholders. A capital budget analysis should be conducted that takes into consideration the many uncertainties associated with this problem.

Description for case is given below :
In March 2008 the CEO had just received a surprising and unsolicited offer from a Japanese company to purchase his AmData Software China company which owns the exclusive mainland China franchise to distribute this U.S. vendor’s software. The Japanese company owns a similar exclusive franchise in Japan. After preliminary negotiations, including a demand by the Japanese company to state the business sale amount in U.S. dollars, the initial $2.5 million offer was raised to $5.5 million. However, this amount was not yet agreed to by both parties and a business valuation analysis would be critical to the key decision of the case: should the CEO sell the company now or continue to develop it for sale at a future date? Such a subsequent sale might be an IPO on one of the Chinese stock exchanges.

Description for case is given below :
A small oil and gas operator must make a decision about whether to drill in a particular location for oil. After significant geological research, the operator has narrowed the possible outcomes to four possible scenarios, one of which was a dry hole (no oil), and provided his best estimate of their respective likelihoods. Evaluating the prospect requires making long term estimates of both the rate of decline in oil production from the prospective formation and the likely price of crude oil over the coming two to three decades. The second of these was required since drilling expenses occur in the first year or two, but revenues from the wells was generated as oil was produced over decades. To help students frame the issue of future oil prices, the cases discussed issues related to the future global supply of, and demand for, oil.

Description for case is given below :
Dean Ismail, owner and general manager of the thirty-six-room Super 8 Motel located in Guelph, Ontario, was offered $2.9 million for the motel. After managing the motel for nearly twenty years, Dean and his family were faced with the decision to either sell or keep the motel. If they were to sell the motel, Dean would need to determine if the offer of $2.9 million was actually a fair selling price for the property. The decision needs to be made in the face of significant uncertainty in the local market. New hotels planned for the local area will increase the supply of available rooms by more than 80 percent in the next two years. This significant increase in the supply of available rooms could have a significant impact on occupancy rates and room rates and, consequently, on the revenues and cash flows of the Super 8 Motel. Like many owner-managed businesses, the financial statements of the motel reflect personal and corporate planning issues (e.g., salaries that are above market rates, bonuses, and management fees) making it difficult to identify the income and cash flows that are directly related to the motel operations. In addition, sale of this property could affect the value of an adjacent property owned by Dean. Dean has fourteen days to decide whether to accept the offer of $2.9 million for the motel or reject it, retaining the motel and the future cash flows that the motel generates.

Lockheed Martin was considering the acquisition of NationScape, Inc., a firm that supports U.S. military readiness, diplomatic and development efforts, and peacekeeping, stabilization and nation building activities in more than 65 countries around the world. The acquisition could increase Lockheed Martin’s overseas defense support operations and expand its capabilities to provide diplomatic and development services to complement its existing defense business. The corporation needed to determine an appropriate price for the acquisition and evaluate whether the acquisition would be a good strategic and cultural fit for the corporation as well.
