Integral service around a transaction
BY : Diego GutiérrezSeptember Tue, 2013

Las empresas han centrado sus estrategias en reducción de costes, aumento de productividad y a la mejora del beneficio neto. Pero estas estrategias están tocando fondo y las empresas están optando por adelgazar estructuras vendiendo activos no estratégicos al private equity in order to generate cash. These slimming transactions seem to be picking up again in 2013, with three quarters of those produced in 2012.

CVC - Revlon: a profitable round-trip for both parties

Según pitchbook, CVC compró a Revlon el grupo Colomer en el 2000 por 325M$. Durante más de una década CVC ha invertido en la compañía, ha expandido su ámbito geográfico y ha introducido una popular línea de producto laca.

Con este crecimiento, Revlon hace un mes ha estado dispuesto a pagar 660M$ más del doble por lo que se vendió. "Este es un ejemplo de que las operaciones de venta de activos no estratégicos pueden ser ventajosas para ambos lados de la transacción. Mientras el capital riesgo es capaz de dedicar recursos para hacer crecer la filial, la corporación obtiene liquidez para centrarse en su negocio más estratégico" comenta Diego Gutiérrez experto en finanzas corporativas en Baker Tiily GDA

Dupont another example of a slimming conglomerate

Dupont con sus más de 200 años de historia ha llegado a ser un gigante en expansión con operaciones en industrias que van desde la agricultura y los alimentos y bebidas hasta la construcción, la salud, la energía y la minería. En la década de 2000, DuPont comenzó a reorientar su negocio con la venta de muchas de sus divisiones auxiliares a través de transacciones de adelgazamiento. Firmas de capital privado se abalanzaron a comprar una serie de activos: 

Sun Capital Partners took over the film business segment, Carlyle acquired the high-performance coatings business, and Blue Point Capital bought the commercial explosives business. In addition, KKR attempted to buy DuPont's protein technologies business in 2011 and the company is currently considering the sale of its chemicals unit.

Technology Data Analytics
for M&A
Advanced data anlytics is a weapon". Intelfin is an artificial intelligence tool we use for investing and creating value in SMEs through competitive analytics and the enterprise environment.

IntelFin consists of a cognitive system, which, through the application of advanced analytical technologies, facilitates the automation of investment and financing decisions in the field of non-listed companies and especially SMEs in high-growth sectors.

The information related to these companies is characterized by their lack of transparency and heterogeneity; thus, it is necessary to develop an advanced analysis which is as much predictive as prescriptive and is developed in a natural language custom, suitable to obtain greater clarity and knowledge of the investment scope.

The IntelFin system focuses especially on analyzing the variables that define and influence the competitive environment of a sector and the positioning of a company, analyzing their influence on future value creation. Therefore, IntelFin supports strategic decision-making to senior management by resolving questions such as:

¿What are my competitors' priorities, strategies and expansion plans? Who's my competition? Which competitor is most likely to grow at a higher rate?
Which areas of activity/business models will receive the most investment? Which sectors are most attractive to investors?
Which companies are going to experience the most growth in the near future? Which companies are most likely to receive investment or be acquired?
