Corporate Finance, M&A, Post Merger Integration
In its competence area Corporate Finance, M&A, Post Merger Integration, Oliver Wyman offers extensive value improvement opportunities by means of a unique combination of in-depth industry knowledge and long-term experience in the international transaction business. Our services for corporate clients from industry, i.e., strategic investors, are complemented by a tailor-made consulting offered for financial investors in the area of Private Equity- as well as Distressed Debt and Mezzanine.
The main focuses of our Corporate Finance and M&A consulting services comprise:
- M&A Strategy: Portfolio analysis, implementation of cross-border growth and diversification strategies or value-improving “Buy and Build” approaches
- Divestments and exit preparation: Preparing IPOs, as well as sales processes, achieving value improvements in divesting subsidiaries or bordering activities with our innovative High-Value Divestment approach
- Integrated M&A Management in the Mid-Market area: Smooth process management from the identification of acquisition targets to due diligence, transaction handling, up to the subsequent exploitation of synergies during integration
- Supporting critical parts of the transaction process: Developing independent Due Diligence reports on commercial, strategic, and operational issues, quantification of synergy potentials, developing consistent business plans, company assessments, sales documentation, etc.
These are complemented by Value Merging – our strategic approach to successful Post Merger Integration: In the case of mergers and takeovers that took place in recent years one is struck by the fact that 60 percent of companies were unable to integrate successfully their new partners in their own organization. The lessons learnt from these failures: While the value of an acquisition depends on many aspects, there is one central factor that decides on its success – a systematic and professionally planned and conducted Post Merger Integration (PMI). In order to support medium-sized and major integration processes, Oliver Wyman developed an approach that above all realizes the Operational Excellence and the set-up of a homogeneously integrated overall company. The Value Merging approach makes the complexity of the take-over process manageable, thus creating the prerequisites for a sustained generation of additional corporate value.
Due to our expertise, an increasing number of demanding customers has decided in favor of cooperating with us over the past years. The main reasons for doing so include:
- Our in-depth industry understanding and international relationship network enable us to achieve a decisive time and quality advantage for our clients, even in tightly timed transaction processes
- Our fact-driven, analytically rigorous approach enables us to rapidly identify relevant value drivers, for example, in the development of integrated financial models, or in the forecast of medium-term market developments
- Our long-term experience and proven method also enable us to solve complex issues in the transaction business
