The valuation of SM Prime and SMDC, as a going concern, is as of March 31, 2013 (“Valuation date”).

Item 3.         Purpose of the Tender Offer and Plans or Proposals of the Bidder

 

This Tender Offer is carried out as part of a reorganization to consolidate the real estate holdings and interest of the companies that are controlled by the SM Group (the “Reorganizaton”). The Reorganization is undertaken to:

 

3



 

Create an integrated real estate platform to further enhance the value of the SM Group’s real estate businesses

 

New SM Prime will build on the strong track record of its component businesses, including being the number one shopping mall developer and operator in the Philippines based on GFA, a leading residential developer in the Philippines in terms of condominium units sold, and operating growing office, hotel and leisure segments.  New SM Prime is expected to be one of the largest real estate companies listed in Southeast Asia and on the PSE in terms of market capitalization. New SM Prime’s increased free float adjusted market capitalization should translate into greater trading liquidity and increased weighting in regional indices. New SM Prime is expected to have a significant growth pipeline as underscored by its large and diversified land bank consisting of a pro-forma area of approximately 920 hectares of retail, commercial, and residential land in prime locations across the Philippines, which SM Prime believes will be among the largest in the country. In addition, SMIC has granted a non-binding right of first refusal to SM Prime to purchase additional land from SMIC to support further development initiatives.

 

New SM Prime is expected to have a strong mix of recurring income from its mall and office operations, and profit from development activities from its residential operations. On a pro forma basis, taking into account the effects of the Exchange Offers and the Reorganization (as discussed in more detail in “Pro Forma Financial Information”), 73.6% of New SM Prime’s net income for 2012 was derived from recurring sources. SM Prime believes it will have the opportunity to accelerate its growth by participating in higher growth and higher-return development opportunities in the residential, commercial, hospitality and tourism sectors due to its fully integrated real estate platform.

 

New SM Prime intends to leverage on the diverse skill sets of each of its component companies to extract optimal value across the real estate value chain. SM Prime believes it can maximize existing plots of its retail developments that may be underutilized or unutilized by adding residential, commercial and hospitality developments. SM Prime also believes it will have greater flexibility to undertake more large scale integrated mixed use developments such as the 60-hectare Mall of Asia (“MOA”) complex, which are typically built on a larger scale, have more efficient use of land and, in general, are expected by SM Prime to achieve higher overall rates of return and profit margins.  New SM Prime intends to replicate the MOA complex’s successful development strategy in other parts of the Philippines. New SM Prime has begun this process with the development of a new mixed used development, the 30-hectare South Road property in Cebu, known as SM Seaside City.

 

Simplify corporate structure and increase organizational efficiencies

 

New SM Prime expects to benefit from an increase in organizational efficiencies and to extract synergies among the component companies. New SM Prime also expects to have access to a larger pool of managerial talent with a strong track record and experience across several real estate classes working together under one entity to focus on maximizing the potential synergies of the new company.  New SM Prime expects to take a more coordinated approach and better utilize its resources.  For example, future land acquisitions will be done at the New SM Prime level, with a more holistic view of developing mixed used developments instead of individual properties or projects.  New SM Prime intends to better utilize the component companies land bank by increasing communication and coordination within the group. New SM Prime expects to benefit from the enlarged group structure by achieving economies of scale resulting in greater bargaining power with its extensive supplier network. In addition, New SM Prime expects to be able to better leverage and further enhance the already strong ‘SM’ brand through a more coordinated brand management effort. Rationalization of the selling and general administrative functions is also expected to reap significant cost synergies for New SM Prime.

Enhanced ability to capitalize on strong economic fundamentals of the Philippines’ property, consumer and tourism sectors

 

The government of the Republic of the Philippines (the “Government”) is targeting GDP growth of approximately 7 — 8%, which will make the Philippines one of the fastest growing economies in the world. GDP per capita based on purchasing power parity is expected to grow at an average rate of 6.6% from 2013 to 2017 according to Economic Intelligence Unit (“EIU”). The Philippines has a favorable demographic profile, including the second largest population in Southeast Asia and the 12th largest population in the world. It has the lowest median age of 23.3 years and second largest population growth amongst the neighboring countries of Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, according to CIA World Factbook. SM Prime believes that a growing, young and increasingly affluent Philippine population will help drive growth in its recurring income from mall operations as well as drive sales in the residential development segment.

 

The Philippines is currently enjoying a low-interest rate environment.  This is supported by the recent sovereign credit upgrade to investment grade status as well as a benign inflation outlook, which is expected to remain around 4% based on consumer price index until 2015, according to Global Insight. Commercial lending rates are also expected to remain low for the remainder of 2013, at a rate of approximately 6.8%, according to EIU. The continual improvement of mortgage financing terms, including the rate of interest as well as length of the loan term, combined with low household borrowing levels is expected to result in greater affordability of home ownership among the Filipino population. The housing need in the Philippines is expected to reach 5.7 million in 2016, at a CAGR of 32.9% between 2011 and 2016, according to the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (“HUDCC”). SM Prime believes that the favorable lending environment along with the expected housing need in the Philippines will provide a sustainable demand for the residential segment as well as allow it to borrow money on favorable terms to fund its future growth plans.

 

OFW remittances and the strong BPO sector have been key components to the Philippine growth story.  OFW remittances have remained strong in recent years, even during the recent global financial crisis.  OFW remittances are expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% between 2013 and 2017 according to EIU. Strong OFW remittance is a key driver in the growth of the Philippine residential property market as OFWs tend to seek out property investments and provide housing for their families back home. By 2016, the Philippine IT-BPO and global in-house center industry is expected to grow to U.S.$25 billion in revenue from U.S.$$11 billion in 2011, representing a CAGR of 18%, according to the Business Processing Association of the Philippines. This growth in the BPO sector is expected to provide strong support for demand in the office segment, which New SM Prime plans to target with its E-Com and Cyber office developments.

 

It is expected that the Philippines will experience an increase in tourist arrivals in the near future, something which is widely believed to be long overdue with the Philippines lagging behind neighbouring countries despite its strategic location and attractive tourist offerings.  In response, the Government has committed a total of U.S.$700 million worth of infrastructure investments to support the tourism industry in 2013 and 2014. The Department of Public Works and Highways will be building roads in areas identified in the national tourism plan in order to improve the travel experience for tourists. As a result, tourist arrivals are forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 7% between 2013 and 2017 according to EIU. In addition, the Philippines’ growing per capita income bodes well for domestic tourism.  This expected increase in foreign and domestic tourist arrivals in the Philippines should benefit the hospitality and tourism industries, sectors that New SM Prime will be acutely focused on with its hotels and leisure projects.

Further strengthen the balance sheet and provide enhanced capital raising flexibility

 

SM Prime believes that it will be able to create a more financially sound and profitable company following the Reorganization. New SM Prime is expected to approximately double its existing asset base from P148.1 billion as of December 31, 2012 to P284.1 billion on a pro-forma basis. The new company is also expected to achieve a lower leverage ratio (net debt / equity) of 40.4% on a pro forma basis from the current 58% of SM Prime as of December 31, 2012. Cash flow is expected to strengthen under New SM Prime, with EBITDA increasing by 33% from P20.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012 to P27.5 billion on a pro forma basis.  New SM Prime believes it will be able to achieve better financial economies of scale, allowing it to lower its borrowing costs and cost of capital due to its larger size, liquidity and asset diversification.  Such lower borrowing costs and cost of capital should help New SM Prime to accelerate major organic and inorganic growth initiatives on more favorable terms than it could without the impact of the Reorganization.

 

The key steps in the Reorganization are as follows:

 

·                  SM Land, as stockholder of SM Prime, will launch a tender offer to acquire up to 100% of the outstanding capital stock of SMDC and Highlands Prime by transferring all or part of its SM Prime shares to the tendering stockholders of SMDC and Highlands Prime, in exchange for the shares of stock of SMDC and Highlands Prime.  Unless the tender offer period is extended by SM Land and such extension is approved by the SEC, The tender offer is expected to be settled on July 19,  2013;

Pursuant to the minimum public ownership rule of the PSE, in consonance with BIR regulations, once public ownership of SMDC is reduced to less than 10% (which will occur if SM Land acquires more than 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of SMDC), any transfer of SMDC shares subsequent to the settlement of the Tender Offer will no longer be subject to the stock transaction tax at the rate of 0.5% of the gross selling price or gross value in cash of the shares but shall be subject to the following taxes on the transfer of shares not traded in the local stock exchange: (i) capital gains tax at the rate of 5% where the net gain realized is in an amount not exceeding P100,000.00 and at the rate of 10% on any amount in excess of P100,000.00, and (ii) documentary stamp tax at the rate of P 0.75 on each P200.00 of the par value of the shares of stock sold or transferred.

 

Furthermore, the Subject Company is expected to file a Petition to Delist its securities with the Philippine Stock Exchange in conjunction with the conduct of this Tender Offer.  Shareholders of SMDC who will not tender its/his shares to the Bidder may end up owning unlisted shares of SMDC.

Furthermore, the Subject Company is expected to file a Petition to Delist its securities with the Philippine Stock Exchange in conjunction with the conduct of this Tender Offer.  Shareholders of SMDC who will not tender its/his shares to the Bidder may end up owning unlisted shares of SMDC.

Subject:                           Valuation and Fairness Opinion Report on the Proposed Share-for-share Swap Between SM Land, Inc. and SM Development Corporation

 

1                                         Introduction

 

1.1                               Manabat Sanagustin & Co., CPAs (“MS&Co.” or the “Firm”) is pleased to submit this Valuation and Fairness Opinion Report (the “Report”) covering the share-for-share swap transaction between SM Land, Inc. (“SM Land”) and SM Development Corporation (“SMDC”). The transaction involves SM Land’s acquisition of an additional 34.82% equity stake in SMDC. SM Land will use SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (“SMPHI”) shares for this acquisition. SM Land Management shall be using a share-swap ratio of 0.472 SMPHI shares for every 1 SMDC share. At the end of this transaction, SM Land shall become the 100% owner of SMDC.

 

1.2                               This Report is submitted in accordance with the engagement letter of MS&Co. dated April 5, 2013 (the “Engagement Letter”). The Engagement Letter covers the Firm’s engagement with SMIC for the valuation of SMPHI and SMDC, as a going concern, as of March 31, 2013 (the agreed “Cut-off Date” or the “Valuation Date” or “3M2013”).

 

1.3                               The Firm was engaged by SMIC to act as the independent financial advisor to the Audit and Risk Management Committee of SMIC in relation to the fairness of the share swap ratio to be used in this transaction. As such, the scope of MS&Co.’s work, and consequently, the opinion does not include any statement or opinion as to the commercial merits or strategic rationale of the transaction.

 

1.4                               MS&Co.’s work did not include making comments on the commercial feasibility of the transaction nor was MS&Co. involved in any way with the conceptualization and execution of the transaction. No work was done insofar as the different aspects of the transaction are concerned. This fairness opinion does not contain and has no intention of forming an opinion as to the strategic, operational or commercial merits of the transaction. This Report is based

SM Investments Corporation

Fairness Opinion Report

May 30, 2013

 

on the information prepared and submitted by both SMDC and SMPHI. These include annual and quarterly reports filed in the Philippine Stock Exchange (“PSE”), and the projected cash flows of SMDC and SMPHI prepared and submitted by the management team of both companies.

 

1.5                               MS&Co. did not conduct a financial due diligence on the information provided by SMDC and SMPHI. It was assumed that all information furnished were complete, accurate and reflective of the good faith of the management teams of SMDC and SMPHI to describe its historical status and prospects as of the Cut-off Date from operating and financial points of view.

 

1.6                               In order to assess the fairness of the share-swap ratio, MS&Co. conducted a valuation of both SMDC and SMPHI. The ranges of values of these two companies were then used as bases to determine the fairness of the SMIC Management-determined share-swap ratio. MS&Co. considered three (3) valuation methodologies, namely: the cost approach, the market approach and the income approach.

 

1.6.1                     There are no globally accepted rules or standards on the selection of the most appropriate valuation methodologies for a given valuation engagement.

 

1.6.2                     The broad criteria for the selection of the methodologies are as follows: (i) consistency of the methodologies given the availability and quality of the data; (ii) appropriateness of the methodologies with the characteristics of the entity being valued; and (iii) applicability of the methodologies with the purpose of the valuation. These three (3) criteria were applied to the specific circumstances of this valuation engagement.

 

1.7                               The following activities were performed in this valuation and fairness opinion report:

 

1.7.1                     Requested for an initial set of information from SMDC and SMPHI management. Based on the initial set of assumptions and information received from SMDC and SMPHI, the Firm conducted interviews to clarify certain assumptions and information received in order to test check the reasonableness of the assumptions and underlying data.

 

1.7.2                     Conducted research and retrieved relevant information from the PSE, Bureau of Treasury, Bloomberg, Damodaran Online, Factiva and various websites of comparable companies.

 

1.8                               The opinion, analysis, and resulting observations were based solely on management representations and on publicly available financial information. It is not the independent financial advisor’s role to either evaluate or confirm how the transaction, to be executed by SM Land and SMDC, will affect the shareholders, other than from a financial point of view.

 

1.9                               The management of SMPHI and SMDC had executed their respective representation letters stating that the information submitted to MS&Co. were materially accurate and complete, fair in the manner of its portrayal and therefore forms a reliable basis for the valuation.

Source: MS&Co. analysis

 

·                       MS&Co. selected four valuation methodologies to estimate the fair range of market values of SMDC. These are the Cost approach, Enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple (“EV/EBITDA”), SMDC’s market closing price as of the Valuation Date, and SMDC’s 60-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”).

 

·                       The Cost approach was deemed appropriate to estimate the fair value of SMDC because the company relies heavily on the sale of its inventory of real properties to generate its revenues. The value of SMDC is primarily driven by its asset base which primarily consists of raw land, condominium units for sale, and properties under development.

 

·                       EV/EBITDA was selected as one of the appropriate multiples to estimate the fair range of market values for SMDC. EV/EBITDA multiple is generally not sensitive to differences in capital structures, depreciation and amortization policies, and tax treatments. In contrast, the P/E multiple will be sensitive to these differences. As such, MS&Co. considered the use of EV/EBITDA multiple instead of either the P/E or P/B multiples. The P/B multiple was not considered as an appropriate method to value SMDC because this multiple does not take into account the earnings potential of SMDC. Further, a large portion of SMDC’s assets is comprised of real properties which currently do not reflect the fair market values of the assets.

 

·                       Actual observed market prices were also used and forms part of the range of values. The closing price as of March 27, 2013, the last trading day for the month, and the 60-day volume-weighted average prices from the Valuation Date were used.

 

·                       The Income approach was no longer considered as a relevant method since SMDC relies heavily on the sale of its real property inventories rather than on recurring rental income. Further, the projected cash flows provided by SMDC’s management were only limited to a three-year period. Three-year projection in our opinion is not sufficient to capture the full value over the complete cycle from land development to point of turnover of a real estate developer.

·                       MS&Co. selected five methodologies to estimate the fair range of market values for SMPHI. These are the Cost approach, the Income approach, EV/EBITDA multiple, SMPHI’s market closing price as of the Valuation Date, and SMPHI’s 60-day weighted average volume price.

 

·                       In contrast to SMDC, SMPHI generates recurring and stable rental and lease revenues. As such, MS&Co. selected the Income approach to estimate the fair range of values of SMPHI since SMPHI’s future cash flows may be estimated using historical financial figures.

 

·                       Cost approach is applicable to SMPHI as the company also relies heavily on its real property assets to generate its revenues. Given that CBRE based the fair value of SMPHI’s malls primarily on discounted cashflows, the appraised values take into account the recurring revenues attributable to these properties.

 

·                       EV/EBITDA was selected as one of the methodologies to estimate the fair range of market values for SMPHI. Some of the comparable companies researched over the course of the valuation work have materially different gearing ratios compared to SMPHI and apply different accounting treatments. As such, MS&Co. selected EV/EBITDA as an appropriate multiple to be used as it generally does not take into account differences in leverage, amortization and tax treatment. Further, MS&Co. used the closing price as of March 27, 2013 and the 60-day weighted average volume price as this is the traded market value of SMPHI as of the Valuation date.

 

2.3                               Given the above fair ranges of values, the range of exchange ratios for the share-for-share swap transaction is 0.280 to 0.537 shares of SMPHI for every 1 share of SMDC. Based on the management-determined share-swap ratio of 0.472 SMPHI share for every 1 SMDC share, the planned exchange is fair from a financial point of view.

On April 21, 1997, the company amended its by-laws and increased its authorized capital stock to PHP8.0 billion with PHP1.00 par value per share. Currently, the company’s authorized capital stock amounts to PHP12.4 billion with PHP1.00 par value per share.

5                                         Valuation of SM Development Corporation

 

5.1                               Cost Approach

 

Under the Cost approach, assets and liabilities with available fair market values are marked-to-market.

 

·                       All real estate assets recorded under the books of SMDC were adjusted to reflect the movement in fair market value.

 

·                       The fair market value was based on the appraisal reports prepared by CBRE using various valuation methods, namely the market data approach and income approach.

 

·                       According to management, only available-for-sale investments and held for trading investments are subject to market valuation. Listed shares classified as available-for — sale investments are stated at fair market value. For shares of Tagaytay Resort Dev’t. Corp. (“TRDC”), we adjusted the value based on MS&Co. valuation.  MS&Co. used the Cost approach in valuing TRDC.

5.2                               Market approach or capitalized earnings approach

 

In using the Market approach, MS&Co. gathered information relating to comparable publicly-listed companies operating in the same industry as SMDC. The CoCos were selected based on the nature of their business and the company structure.

 

In addition to SMDC, there are 39 property companies listed in the PSE. Out of the 39, 20 companies are engaged in the sale of real estate. From the 20 companies, the list of comparable companies were evaluated and then chosen based on the following:

 

·                  Majority (more than 50%) of the companies’ operating revenues should be derived from real estate sales

 

·                  Suite of products should include affordable to mid-end residential units

 

·                  Assets and operating revenues of the company should be relatively similar to SMDC’s asset and operating revenue levels

 

After considering the criteria listed above, MS&Co. identified Filinvest Land, Inc. (“FLI”) and Vista Land and Lifescapes, Inc. (“VLL”) as comparable companies. The table below presents the summary of the CoCos selection process.

Under the Market approach, MS&Co. considered the price-to-earnings (“P/E”) multiple, the price-to-book (“P/B”) multiple and the EV/EBITDA multiple in valuing SMDC. The respective earnings per share, book value per share and EBITDA of the CoCos were lifted from the Philippine Stock Exchange and quarterly reports as of March 31, 2013 of CoCos. The share prices used were based on the closing prices as of March 31, 2013.

SM Prime Holdings Inc. (“SMPHI”) is the leading developer and operator of shopping malls in the Philippines. SMPHI also operates malls in China. Its operations are mainly driven by rentals from tenants, sales of cinema tickets, income from amusement centers and others.

7                                         Valuation of SM Prime Holdings, Inc.

 

7.1                               Cost Approach

 

Under the Cost approach, assets and liabilities with available fair market values are marked-to-market.

 

·                       Operational malls in the Philippines and in China and other real estate properties recorded under the books of SMPHI were adjusted to reflect the movement in fair market value. The fair market value was based on the appraisal reports prepared by CBRE using various valuation methods, namely the cost, direct capitalization and discounted cash flow approaches.

 

·                       Financial liabilities were adjusted to reflect the fair values represented in their 3M2013 interim financial statements as of the Cut-off date.

 

·                       According to management and the 2012 audited financial statements, SMPHI is not involved in any pending critical litigation. SMPHI’s legal advisors represent that the company is not involved in any significant cases which may give rise to contingent liabilities.

7.2                               Market approach or capitalized earnings approach

 

In using the Market approach, MS&Co. collated information relating to comparable publicly-listed companies operating in the same industry as SMPHI. In searching for comparable companies for SMPHI, MS&Co initially focused on the listed retail real estate companies in the Philippines. To determine the comparability of the firms in the initial list of property companies in the PSE, the two criteria used were: (1) the revenue composition of the company and (2) the scale of the companies’ operations as compared to SMPHI.

 

With regard to the revenue composition, MS&Co. analyzed the operations of each of the property companies in the PSE and determined the significant contributors to their revenues. To be comparable with SMPHI, the firm’s revenues from shopping center operations or leasing of commercial spaces should be the largest contributor to its total revenues. From the

 

19



 

40 property-related companies in the PSE, only four companies were deemed comparable based on their revenue composition.

 

After eliminating companies based on their revenue composition, the firms were then evaluated based on the scale of their operations. Companies which operate less than 10 malls were eliminated. Of the four, only Robinsons Land Corporation was able to meet this requirement with 32 malls as compared to the other companies with only one to five malls.

 

Upon exhausting the companies in the Philippines, the Firm extended the search for comparable companies in the region. According to the Factiva database, there are three listed retail-oriented companies in the South East Asia and East Asia regions. These companies’ revenues are comprised of shopping center operations and leasing of commercial spaces and these companies have multiple shopping centers in their specific markets. Two of the companies, Central Pattana Public Co. Ltd. and CapitaMalls Asia Ltd., have operations centered on high growth economies, Thailand and China. The other company, AEON Mall Co., Ltd., is focused on the Japanese region and was eliminated since its operations are primarily focused on the Japanese consumer market. The table below presents the summary of the CoCos selection process.

Under the Market approach, the price-to-earnings (“P/E”) multiple, the price-to-book (“P/B”) multiple and the EV/EBITDA multiple were considered in valuing SMPHI. The respective earnings per share, book value per share, EV and EBITDA of the CoCos were computed from the latest available financial statements of the CoCos. The share prices used were based on the closing prices as of March 31, 2013.

In determining the DCF value of SMPHI, three (3) important variables were considered. These are: (a) the projected free cash flows to the firm, (b) the appropriate discount rate, and (c) the terminal value.

 

7.3.1                     Projected free cash flow to the firm (“FCFF”)

 

Projected FCFF is equivalent to the cash flows from operating (except interest income) and investing activities plus after-tax net interest expense of SMPHI from April 1, 2013 to December 31, 2018 (the “Forecast Period”). Projected FCFFs are discounted back to the Valuation Date at an acceptable discount rate to generate a value for the business.

 

The business plans and the related financial projections of SMPHI were based on management’s assumptions reflecting conditions it expects would exist and the courses of action it expects to take during the Forecast Period. MS&Co. would like to highlight that the management of SMPHI is responsible for representations about their plans and expectations, and for disclosure of significant information that might affect the ultimate realization of the business plans and the projected results.

 

There will usually be differences between the projected and actual results, because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and those differences may be material. Hence, while MS&Co. exercised its best judgment in evaluating the assumptions, MS&Co. cannot provide assurance on the realization of the financial projections.

 

Given the uncertainties inherent in projecting financial performance, scenarios have been created to anticipate volatilities in SMPHI’s revenue streams. Same-store revenue growth of established malls has been estimated to be 7.0% which approximates the historical same-store growth rate of SMPHI. However, according to management, mature malls would have a same-store growth rate of 5.0% for terminal value computation purposes. These two growth estimates have been used as the aggressive and conservative bases, respectively, for the projection scenarios with regard to the established malls, since revenues from these properties comprise over 77% of SMPHI’s revenues over the projection period. An average growth rate of 6% was also utilized to represent a base case scenario for the revenue growth assumptions.

 

Projected FCFF are discounted back to the present date at an acceptable discount rate to generate a fair range of values for the business. Below are the computations of the present value (“PV”) of SMPHI’s projected cash flows for the three scenarios.

7.3.2                     Discount rate

 

Determining an appropriate discount rate, which is reflective of both the general and specific risks of a company’s future income stream, is an important element of the Income approach or DCF methodology. The discount rate is also equated with the acceptable rate of return or “hurdle rate” of an investor for a specific investment opportunity taking into account the return on alternative investments and risk factor.

 

For this Report, weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) was computed as the acceptable discount rate to be applied to the projected FCFF during the Forecast Period and the projected FCFF after the explicit Valuation  Period.

 

SMPHI’s after-tax cost of debt, pegged at 3.6%, pertains to the weighted average interest rate of SMPHI’s interest-bearing liabilities using March 31, 2013 interest rates. For variable rate loans, the market rate was provided by management. However, for the fixed rate loans, MS&Co. used the average lending rates of local universal banks for March 25, 2013 sourced from Business World. A tax rate was not used since SMPHI uses the Optional Standard Deduction offered by the BIR. As such, interest expense would not be deductible with regard to computing the income tax to be incurred.

 

The table on the next page presents the computation for the after-tax cost of debt of SMPHI.

SMPHI’s cost of equity was computed using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”), which states that the Ke is based on the return generated from risk-free investments (“risk-free rate”) plus a premium for the risks associated with the business (“equity risk premium”).

 

The risk-free rate (“rf”) represents the minimum return investors would expect from credit risk-free securities. The rf of 4.0% was considered in the valuation of SMPHI. This was based on the 10-year Philippine Treasury Bond reissued on February 2013, the nearest auction date to the Valuation Date for an issue of a 10-year treasury bond.

 

The market risk premium (“RPm”) represents the excess return to compensate investors for taking a relatively riskier investment. MS&Co. assumed that 4.91% is the RPm, which is sourced from Aswath Damodaran in his paper “Equity Risk Premiums (ERP): Determinants, Estimation, and Implications  — The 2013 Edition. Damodaran utilizes several methodologies in determining the equity risk premium, which includes the survey approach, use of historical premiums and implied equity premiums.

 

The beta factor represents the measure of risk of a particular asset relative to the risk of a portfolio of all risky assets, based on the perception that its share prices move in line with the “market.” Levered beta factors are always considered in the valuation of companies.

 

Levered beta is the beta that takes into account the risk of SMPHI due to its capital structure and applicable tax rate.

 

WACC computation for SMPHI

 

MS&Co. used the unlevered beta of the real estate industry, specifically in the operations & services sector, in emerging markets from Aswath Damodaran

 

MS&Co. relevered the beta to reflect the target capital structure of SMPHI using the company’s target debt and equity ratios.

Given the above fair range of values, the range of exchange ratios for the share-for-share swap transaction is 0.280 to 0.537 shares of SMPHI for every 1 share of SMDC. Based on the SMIC share-swap ratio of 0.472 SMPHI shares for every 1 SMDC shares, the planned exchange is fair from a financial point of view.
