Corporate Finance
You might be raising capital, making an acquisition, disposing of a business, or seeking a wide market for your company’s shares on a stock market. Whatever the reason, you want to complete the deal efficiently and get the best value. Our specialists can help you do that.
Pre-IPO (initial public offering) assistance
We will determine all pre-IPO steps you need to
undertake to ensure a successful and well-subscribed IPO transaction. Such
steps may include the selection of an IPO vehicle that is most appropriate for
your company and the initial valuation of the issuer’s shares of stock. We can
also put you in touch with legal advisor/s and underwriter/s who can help you
further with your IPO process.
Financial due diligence
When making an acquisition or an investment, it
is the responsibility of the buyer or investor to make sure that all relevant
financial facts and financial risks associated with the opportunity are
thoroughly considered. We can conduct a financial due diligence on your
investment target to help you assess such relevant financial facts and risks
before you make any big decision.
We have conducted financial due diligence work
for our foreign and local clients on their target companies in various
industries, including more recently in mining, retail trading, real estate
development, information technology, and banking, among others.
Financial forecasts
Occasionally, you may need to translate your
future plans, or your target’s, into a financial model so that you can assess
the effects of changes in critical variables that may be related to a contemplated
transaction. We can design the financial model and, in the conduct of
sensitivity and scenario analyses, help you make informed decisions about an opportunity.
In case you already have financial forecasts,
we can check the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such forecasts
through our analysis of the accounts and the market environment. Our examination
as an independent party is typically required by the target audience of the
said forecasts (e.g., banks, acquiring companies, the Securities and Exchange Commission,
etc.).
We have compiled or examined the financial
forecasts of companies in a wide range of industries, including oil shipping,
technology, steel, banking, real estate development, semiconductors, mining,
and retail trade, among others.
Valuation
Through our valuation services, we will develop
an opinion on the value of your business or its shares. Our clients typically
require our valuation services in transactions such as divestment, mergers and
acquisitions, initial public offerings, management buy-outs, and tender offers.
Our valuation clients represent some of the big
names in various industries, including real estate, property management,
manufacturing, power, petroleum, mining, shipping, technology, retail trade,
banking and pharmaceuticals.
Feasibility studies
We can help you evaluate the viability of your
contemplated projects through the conduct of market research and financial
analyses. We will compute financial feasibility measures such as the internal
rate of return (IRR), net present value (NPV), and payback period.
Some of our significant engagements on market
research and feasibility studies were conducted for hotels and resorts, a car
dealership, shipping companies, a real estate developer, a hospital and a petroleum
distribution company. The results of our studies have been crucial in the
decision of our clients to pursue (or not) their contemplated projects or
transactions.
Financial advisory
Our financial advisory services cover a wide
range of activities. We can provide financial analysis of your target
companies, or assist you in meeting bank requirements for your needed
financing. We can also provide you with the necessary support for your bids for
banks’ non-performing assets.
We were the lead advisor in the bid and
post-deal stages of a government corporation’s disposal of mortgages, which has
been dubbed as the largest ever corporate finance deal in the Philippines.
