Shares Offered * Expected Price Gross Spread: The percentage of the gross proceeds paid to underwriters to cover management fees,selling commissions and underwriting concessions. Almost always 7% on IPO’s; less on follow-ons (usually negotiable) Offering Expenses: Expenses of the offering borne by the company. Typically accounting and legal fees, filing fees and printing costs. Net Proceeds: Gross Proceeds - Gross Spread - Offering Expenses Example: Gross Proceeds -- 5.0 million shares issued X $10.00/share expected price $50.0 million Less: Gross Spread @ 7% --$10.00 X .07 = $0.70 X 5.0 million shares $ 3.5 million Less: Offering Expenses ---$700,000 $ Equals: Net Proceeds .7 million $45.8 million 10 Mechanics of an IPO Valuation Some Form of Public Comparable Company Analysis: Price-to-Revenue, Price-toEarnings, Combined with a Discounted Cash Flow Pricing an “Art” Not a “Science” (Within Accepted Metrics) Aftermarket Demand and Performance Majority of Shares Still Held by Founders and Existing Investors Market Ultimately Prices the Deal Based Upon Demand Characteristics Post Offering, Valuation Fluctuates Based on: Operational Progress and Announcements Meeting “Street” Expectations Quarter After Quarter Research Coverage and Visibility Trading Volume and Liquidity 11 Variables of an IPO Valuation Trading Multiple: Based on comparable analysis, the multiple at which the investment banks believe a company will trade in the public markets. IPO Discount: The amount by which the investment bank discount the trading multiple to calculate the IPO Multiple. Typically, IPOs are priced such that the stock price is expected to appreciate 15%. IPO Multiple: The multiple at which a company is taken public. Trading Multiple/ (1 + IPO Discount) Post Money Equity Value: The equity value of the company at an assumed IPO price. Post Deal Shares Outstanding * IPO Price Pre-Money Equity Value: Post-Money Equity Value - Offering Size Primary Shares: New Shares sold by the company Secondary Shares: Existing Shares Sold by Insiders (Typically Not Applicable for an IPO) 12 Typical Stock Splits Prior to an IPO Prior to going public, companies will usually effect a stock split or reverse stock split. This is done to manipulate the price range of the common stock. To get it into a reasonable “filing range” (Typically low to mid teens) A stock split does not change the company’s capitalization just the number of shares outstanding and consequently the earnings per share and per share price. 13 IPO Market Overview Overview of the Current Economy The slowing U.S. economy has resulted in a reduction of capital spending by enterprises, especially on IT equipment and software The reduction in IT equipment and software spending has resulted in weak financial performance for technology companies and significant stock price declines The combination of a slowing U.S. economy and significant valuation adjustments has all but dried up the IPO market for early-stage emerging growth companies Investors have returned to historical less aggressive metrics to evaluate public technology companies and initial public offerings Companies architected for the investor environment of 1999 and 2000 must be restructured No more “top line growth at any cost” mentality Earnings matter!!! 15 150 100 50 0 Apr-99 Apr-98 Apr-97 Apr-96 Apr-95 Apr-94 Apr-93 Apr-92 Apr-91 Apr-01 200 Mar-01 250 Apr-00 Siebel Historical P/E Multiple Nov-00 Jul-00 Mar-00 Nov-99 Jul-99 Mar-99 Nov-98 Jul-98 Mar-98 Nov-97 Jul-97 Mar-97 Return to Historical Valuations Oracle Historical P/E Multiple 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 16 IPO Market Overview Monthly Initial Public Offerings: 1996 to Present Number of Transactions $ Amount Raised ($ in Billions) 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 (a) January February March April May June July August September October November December 21 54 56 47 71 77 44 46 45 82 65 38 23 41 31 18 30 54 47 38 41 64 77 32 11 37 33 35 40 49 39 16 1 3 11 14 10 31 20 26 45 54 53 27 41 52 54 38 18 48 53 35 24 35 48 63 27 26 20 9 3 7 8 4 2 Total Average/month 646 54 496 41 289 24 451 38 406 34 24 5 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 (a) January February March April May June July August September October November December $1.3 2.7 4.0 6.8 6.2 5.4 2.5 2.4 2.8 6.8 5.3 2.0 $1.3 2.7 1.6 1.3 3.5 5.5 3.8 2.8 3.6 6.1 8.2 2.0 $0.8 2.5 2.7 3.9 3.9 4.8 3.8 1.3 0.1 5.1 3.7 3.1 $0.9 4.6 4.4 1.9 7.9 5.4 11.2 2.6 3.4 7.1 17.1 4.5 $4.0 8.5 14.4 15.9 2.3 10.9 10.8 6.4 5.1 8.7 6.5 2.8 $0.2 3.8 4.2 2.2 0.1 Total Average/month $48.1 4.0 $42.3 3.5 $35.8 3.0 $71.1 5.9 $96.4 8.0 $10.4 2.1 17 IPO Market Overview Pricing Trends in IPOs The Big IPO Party…...
