Alex Edmans, London Business School: A avut loc o renastere masiva a pietei globale de M&A. M&A poate fi folosit pentru a creste valoarea unei companii, care prin ESG se imparte intre investitori si societate. Dar M&A este si o cale scumpa de a obtine sinergii

“A avut loc o renastere masiva a pietei globale de M&A astfel ca pana la finele trimestrului al treilea, am vazut tranzactii M&A de 3,4 trilioane USD la nivel global si asta datorita unui numar de factori. Este evidenta o revenire dupa pandemie, este si datorita finantarii ieftine cu rate de dobanda mici, dar de asemenea cu cotatii inalte ale actiunilor, titlurile din SUA si Europa sunt la peste 30% fata de ultimele 12 luni“, a declarat Alex Edmans, profesor de finante la London Business School, keynote speaker in cadrul MIRSANU DEALMAKERS SUMMIT 2021, eveniment online organizat pe 10 decembrie de catre jurnalul de tranzactii MIRSANU.RO in jurul comunitatii jucatorilor de pe pietele de fuziuni si achizitii (M&A), finante corporative, piete de capital si real estate din Europa Centrala si de Est. 

“Sponsorii financiari, cum sunt fondurile de private equity, au avut o pondere de 40% in piata globala de M&A, atat din punct de vedere al valorii, cat si al volumului“, estimeaza profesorul Alex Edmans de la London Business School, care a lucrat anterior ca bancher de investitii pentru Morgan Stanley la Londra si New York.

Digitalizarea, evolutia inregistrata in lanturile de aprovizionare si evolutia preferintelor de consum au fost principalele motoare din spatele evolutiei pietei globale de M&A, potrivit lui Alex Edmans.

“In digitalizare, este mai degraba vorba despre o abordare de tipul The winner takes it all (castigatorul ia totul – n.r.). Avem de exemplu tranzactia Nexi – Nets payment. In ceea ce priveste tendinta de achizitie cu impact pe lanturile de aprovizionare – in aprilie, Panasonic a cumparat BlueYonder pentru software cu care sa administreze enterprise supply chaines. De asemenea, un alt motor al pietei de M&A a fost evolutia in preferintele de consum, aici un exemplu ar fi tranzactia Walmart – MeMD in telemedicina)“, explica Alex Edmans.

“Un alt lucru interesant este schimbarea naturii sinergiilor in M&A. Ati vazut tranzactii care sunt focusate pe taieri de costuri de exemplu banci, hoteluri, si vorbim evident si de sinergii de venituri. Oamenii intotdeauna au dubii privind sinergiile rezultate din fuziuni. Cred ca asta se schimba. Evident taierile de costuri vor fi mereu urmarite in M&A, dar este in crestere M&A ca sursa de venituri“, precizeaza Alex Edmans.

“In urma cu 15 ani, ESG era cunoscuta ca CSR – Corporate Social Responsability (Responsabilitate corporativa sociala). Era ceva de care se ocupa un mic departament intr-o companie si nu era vazut ca fiind o tema la nivelul unui CEO. Dar acum vedem ca in ultimii 15 ani a avut loc o schimbare majora la nivelul cerintelor pentru un CEO. Acum, fiecare CEO vorbeste despre asta“, semnaleaza schimbarea de paradigma profesorul Alex Edmans de la London Business School.

Deci, ESG este o consideratie majora pentru M&A, este un motiv pentru a face M&A.

“Sa ne gandim ca valoarea unei companii este ca o placinta si putem imparti placinta intre investitori, a caror parte este sub forma profiturilor, si societate, a carei parte din placinta este sub forma salariilor catre angajati, a taxelor platite catre guvern si a preturilor corecte catre clienti. Mai multa lume crede ca ESG implica impartirea placintei intr-un mod mai corect“, explica Edmans.

Asta reprezinta cel mai bine ESG. Nu ai nevoie de M&A pentru asta, mai spune acesta.

“Orice companie poate schimba salarii si lua alte masuri.  Si atunci, trebuie sa faci prin inovatie sau prin a incerca sa faci mai multe lucruri pentru a creste placinta“, adauga Alex Edmans.

In acest fel, M&A devine activ un mod de a crea valoare. Si atunci cum poti face tranzactii M&A care sa conduca la a obtine mai multi bani, dar care sa ne permita sa creeze mai multa valoare mai larg pentru societate?

Asta nu rezolva doar ESG, ci conduce si la profituri mai mari prin crearea de valoare, sustine profesorul de Finante al London Business School.

“Totusi, tranzactiile M&A sunt si o cale foarte scumpa de a realiza sinergii. A cumpara o tinta inseamna uneori sa platesti un premiu de 30% si urmeaza apoi si alte costuri, cum sunt si costurile de integrare. Sunt si alte moduri de a obtine sinergii – poti avea contracte pe termen lung intre client si furnizor, poti avea cross selling, poti lua un pachet minoritar intr-o companie, te poti angaja in investitii cu furnizorul tau – Apple nu cumpara furnizori, dar are Advanced Manufacturing Funds prin care investesc bani in furnizori sau poti avea joint – venture“, puncteaza Alex Edmans.

“Este foarte mult excitement in jurul M&A incat s-ar putea forma un bubble, multe companii sunt interesate sa faca M&A, fondurile de private equity stau pe 1,5 trilioane USD de capital (asa-numitul dry powder – n.r.) gata sa cumpere tinte, ai 400 de SPAC-uri cu 0,5 trilioane USD care isi cauta o tinta si ai concurenta din partea altor cumparatori strategici, numai companiile globale non-financiare dispun de 7 trilioane USD cash“, afirma profesorul londonez.

“Si atunci te intrebi – sunt si cai mai ieftine de a avea ESG?“, a mai spus Alex Edmans de la London Business School in cadrul evenimentului organizat de jurnalul de tranzactii MIRSANU.RO.
