This note replaces "Valuation of Late-Stage Companies and Buyouts" (UVA-F-1639).This note focuses on the valuation of late-stage companies with a particular emphasis on leveraged buyouts (LBOs). In contrast to venture capital, where firms are typically at an early stage of development, late-stage investments involve more-established businesses that have an ability to take on higher levels of debt to augment investor returns. The note provides a description of LBOs, an overview of the commonly used sources of financing and the metrics used to assess LBO capital structures, a discussion of the value drivers of buyouts, and a step-by-step example of an LBO analysis. This note takes the perspective of private equity (PE) investors and assumes some basic familiarity with the structure of PE investing. Their approach is compared to other discounted cash flow valuation methods based on the weighted-average cost of capital or adjusted present value. Excerpt UVA-F-1846 Aug. 23, 2018 Valuing Late-Stage Companies and Leveraged Buyouts This note focuses on the valuation of late-stage companies with a particular emphasis on leveraged buyouts (LBOs). Late-stage investments can arise in situations involving growth equity, turnarounds, mezzanine investments, and distressed debt. In contrast to venture capital, where firms are typically at an early stage of development, late-stage investments involve more-established businesses that have an ability to take on higher levels of leverage to augment investor returns. This note takes the perspective of a private equity (PE) investor and assumes some basic familiarity with the structure of PE investing. It provides a basic overview of the primary sources of financing, the metrics used to gauge LBO capital structures, and a step-by-step example of an LBO analysis. What is an LBO? An LBO is the purchase of a firm by an outside individual, another firm, or the incumbent management using large amounts of debt to finance the purchase. The target firm for an LBO can be a freestanding private or public company or a division of a company. Most often, LBOs are undertaken by PE firms that specialize in these transactions (e.g., Blackstone, Carlyle Group, and KKR). PE firms that specialize in LBOs are often referred to as sponsors, because they in effect sponsor or propose the deal. Unlike strategic buyers, who often have assets or expertise to combine with the target firm, sponsors are typically financial buyers whose expertise lies in arranging the financing and incentives for management to perform in a highly leveraged transaction (HLT). That said, sponsors must also have a keen eye to identify opportunities for business development and operating improvements. . . .
本说明取代“后期公司估值和收购”(UVA-F-1639)。本文主要关注后期公司的估值,特别强调杠杆收购(LBOs)。风险投资的公司通常处于发展的早期阶段,与之相反,后期投资涉及更成熟的企业,这些企业有能力承担更高水平的债务,以增加投资者的回报。该报告提供了对杠杆收购的描述,对常用融资来源的概述以及用于评估杠杆收购资本结构的指标,对收购的价值驱动因素的讨论,以及杠杆收购分析的逐步示例。本文从私募股权投资者的角度出发,假设您对私募股权投资的结构有一些基本的了解。他们的方法与其他基于加权平均资本成本或调整后现值的贴现现金流量估值方法进行了比较。对后期公司和杠杆收购的估值本文重点关注后期公司的估值,特别强调杠杆收购(lbo)。后期投资可能出现在增长股权、周转、夹层投资和不良债务等情况下。与风险投资不同的是,风险投资的公司通常处于发展的早期阶段,而后期投资涉及更成熟的企业,这些企业有能力承担更高水平的杠杆,以增加投资者的回报。本文从一个私募股权投资者的角度出发,假设你对私募股权投资的结构有一些基本的了解。它提供了主要融资来源的基本概述,用于衡量杠杆收购资本结构的指标,以及一步一步的杠杆收购分析示例。什么是杠杆收购?杠杆收购是由外部个人、另一家公司或现任管理层利用大量债务为收购提供资金而进行的收购。杠杆收购的目标公司可以是独立的私人或上市公司,也可以是公司的一个部门。通常,杠杆收购是由专门从事这些交易的私募股权公司(例如,黑石集团、凯雷集团和KKR)承担的。专门从事杠杆收购的私募股权公司通常被称为保荐人,因为它们实际上是交易的保荐人或提议者。与战略买家不同,战略买家通常拥有与目标公司合并的资产或专业知识,发起人通常是金融买家,其专业知识在于安排融资和激励管理层在高杠杆交易(HLT)中执行。也就是说,赞助商还必须有敏锐的眼光来识别业务发展和运营改进的机会. . . .

How Did Bank Lending to Small Business in the United States Fare After the Financial Crisis? 金融危机后美国银行对小企业的贷款表现如何?

Aggregate bank-loan data reported by the FDIC show that bank lending to small businesses plummeted during 2009-2011 following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in Sep. 2008 and the onset of the financial crisis, and continued to decline during the post-crisis years 2012-2015. However, the number of banks also declined during both periods, making it difficult to determine if banks have continued, or loosened, the tight-credit policies of 2009-2011. The current study analyzes bank-level data on both the stock and flow of small-business lending collected by U.S. banking regulators to provide new univariate and multivariate evidence on whether bank lending to businesses - small and large - recovered after the financial crisis. The analysis reveals that bank lending to small businesses remained at depressed levels throughout the post-crisis years, while total-business lending saw somewhat of a recovery. Finally, the analysis documents that the declines in small-business lending were significantly greater at large banks than at small banks, and at banks in worse financial condition than at banks in better financial condition.
FDIC报告的银行贷款总额数据显示,在2008年9月雷曼兄弟(Lehman Brothers)破产和金融危机爆发后的2009年至2011年期间,银行对小企业的贷款大幅下降,并在危机后的2012年至2015年期间继续下降。然而,在这两个时期,银行的数量也在减少,因此很难确定银行是否继续或放松了2009-2011年的紧缩信贷政策。目前的研究分析了美国银行业监管机构收集的关于小企业贷款存量和流量的银行层面数据,以提供新的单变量和多变量证据,证明银行对小企业和大型企业的贷款在金融危机后是否有所恢复。分析显示,在金融危机后的几年里,银行对小企业的贷款一直处于低迷水平,而对企业的贷款总额出现了一定程度的复苏。最后,分析表明,大银行的小企业贷款下降幅度明显大于小银行,财务状况较差的银行比财务状况较好的银行下降幅度更大。

Crowdsourcing platforms typically take a passive approach and let solvers self-select which (if any) of the concurrently running contests they wish to participate into. Thus, firms which set prizes and organize contests on these platforms are competing among themselves (for solver participation and effort). We model this competition among contests, and solve for the equilibrium solver participation and characterize the equilibrium among the firms. Next we compare the outcomes to a setting where the platform can “nudge” the solvers toward a particular contest (i.e., platforms can recommend a contest for a given solver, but cannot enforce participation). Our main results reveal that solvers' self-sorting into contests hurts the solvers, the firms and the platform. Thus, platform policies to nudge solver entry improve overall welfare.
众包平台通常采取被动的方法,让解决者自行选择他们希望参加的同时进行的竞赛。因此,在这些平台上设置奖品和组织竞赛的公司是在相互竞争(为了求解者的参与和努力)。在此基础上,建立了企业间竞争的模型,求解了均衡求解器的参与率,并刻画了企业间的均衡。接下来,我们将结果与平台可以“推动”求解者参加特定比赛的设置进行比较(即,平台可以为给定的求解者推荐比赛,但不能强制参与)。我们的主要研究结果表明,求解者的自分类竞赛对求解者、企业和平台都有伤害。因此,推动求解器进入的平台政策提高了整体福利。

Crowdfunding in Colorado - One Person's Opinion 科罗拉多州的众筹——一个人的观点
Pub Date : 2017-10-13 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.3052254
Herrick K. Lidstone
Crowdfunding is a ubiquitous term that now means any of a number of things, including donative funding (such as gofundme.com), rewards-based crowdfunding (such as Indiegogo.com), and equity crowdfunding where investors receive an equity interest in the issuer. Donative and rewards-based crowdfunding have generally been held not to involve the offer or sale of a security subject to regulation under federal and Colorado securities laws. Equity-based crowdfunding, where the investor receives an equity interest in the crowdfunding issuer, does involve the application of federal and applicable state securities laws. Colorado's 2015 Crowdfunding Act (CCFA) has not proven to meet the goals of its legislative declaration to "allow[] small companies to access the capital they need to start or expand businesses." This paper contains a proposal for a simplified small crowdfunding offering where businesses can raise up to $300,000 to $500,000 without meeting the more complicated procedures and requirements of the CCFA.
众筹是一个无处不在的术语,现在指的是许多事情,包括捐赠融资(如gofundme.com),基于奖励的众筹(如Indiegogo.com),以及股权众筹(投资者获得发行人的股权)。捐赠和基于奖励的众筹通常不涉及提供或出售受联邦和科罗拉多州证券法监管的证券。股权众筹,即投资者获得众筹发行人的股权,确实涉及联邦和适用的州证券法的适用。科罗拉多州2015年的众筹法案(CCFA)并没有达到其立法宣言的目标,即“允许[]小公司获得启动或扩大业务所需的资金”。这篇文章包含了一个简化的小型众筹产品的建议,企业可以在不满足CCFA更复杂的程序和要求的情况下筹集到30万至50万美元。

Launch on a High Note: How Prefunding Affects Crowdfunding Outcomes 高调发布:预融资如何影响众筹结果
Pub Date : 2017-10-09 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3049768

In an increasingly competitive crowdfunding market, entrepreneurs are seeking out new ways to improve their likelihood of success. This is one of the reasons for the emergence of prefunding platforms, which help entrepreneurs to raise awareness of their forthcoming fund-raising projects. Using data from an online crowdfunding platform, we show that opting for prefunding prior to fund-raising significantly increases the likelihood of a campaign meeting its fund-raising goal. We also find that prefunding projects transition to the fund-raising stage with a higher number of backers, and a higher contribution size on the first day of funding when compared to non-prefunding projects. This strong head-start on the first day of solicitation then enhances a project’s ability to garner funds over the fund-raising window, thus increasing the likelihood of eventual success. Moreover, when entrepreneurs proactively update information about their projects and actively engage with followers during the prefunding period, their campaigns are more likely to launch with a higher number of backers and higher contribution size. Our study has important implications for both entrepreneurs and crowdfunding platforms.
在竞争日益激烈的众筹市场上,企业家们正在寻找新的方法来提高他们成功的可能性。这是预融资平台出现的原因之一,它帮助企业家提高对即将到来的融资项目的认识。利用在线众筹平台的数据,我们表明,在筹款之前选择预融资可以显著提高活动实现其筹款目标的可能性。我们还发现,与非预融资项目相比,预融资项目过渡到融资阶段时,支持者数量更多,并且在融资第一天的捐款规模也更高。在招标的第一天,这种强有力的领先优势提高了项目在筹款窗口筹集资金的能力,从而增加了最终成功的可能性。此外,当企业家在预融资期间主动更新项目信息并积极与追随者互动时,他们的活动更有可能获得更多的支持者和更高的捐款规模。我们的研究对企业家和众筹平台都有重要的启示。

Reward Scheme Design for Online Crowdfunding Projects 网络众筹项目奖励方案设计
Pub Date : 2017-10-04 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3048158
Shengsheng Xiao, Tongxin Zhou, Yong Tan
In this paper, we investigate the optimal reward scheme design problem for online crowdfunding projects where project backers’ reward item selection is assumed to follow the multinomial logit choice model. Our model shows that project creator’s effective marginal profit from each reward item is the same at optimal backing prices, and the reward scheme design problem can be simplified to that of finding a fixed point of a single dimensional function. We also extend the basic model by considering crowdfunding participants’ behaviors such as backers’ altruistic motivation and heterogeneous beliefs in project’s success probability and project creator’s reward updating behavior. Finally, we conduct sensitivity analyses to examine the roles of key model parameters. This study provides theoretical and practical insights on reward design strategies for project creators in online crowdfunding market.
本文研究了网络众筹项目的最优奖励方案设计问题,假设项目出资人的奖励项目选择遵循多项逻辑选择模型。我们的模型表明,在最优支持价格下,项目创建者从每个奖励项目中获得的有效边际利润是相同的,并且奖励方案设计问题可以简化为寻找单维函数的不动点问题。我们还对基本模型进行了扩展,考虑了众筹参与者的行为,如支持者的利他动机、项目成功概率的异质信念和项目创建者的奖励更新行为。最后,我们进行了敏感性分析,以检验关键模型参数的作用。本研究对网络众筹市场中项目创造者的奖励设计策略提供了理论和实践的见解。

Founder Control, Opacity and Value Creation in Family Firms 家族企业的创始人控制、不透明度与价值创造
Pub Date : 2017-08-04 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2801713
Wei-Kung Hsu, Yvonne Lean-Ee Lee, Nandu J. Nagarajan, B. Srinidhi
The extant literature on family-controlled firms in the U.S. presents a mixed picture on how family control affects opacity and value creation. In this study, we show that the mixed results arise from the differences among family firms with regard to the presence of founders and the extent of decision rights held by them. Specifically, we find that family firms in which founders are present and have significant decision rights (influence), are more transparent and have higher valuations, compared to similar non-family firms. In further analysis, we show that founders improve the operating efficiency of their firms and this partly explains the additional value creation in founder firms. We find all these effects to be stronger when founders have greater decision rights (influence). In contrast, non-founder family firms are more opaque than their non-family counterparts. Furthermore, we document cross-sectional variations in the impact of Founder-CEOs on opacity and value based on their tenure and horizon. For Founder-CEOs, firm opacity increases (decreases) and value decreases (increases) with founder tenure (founder horizon).
现存的关于美国家族控制企业的文献在家族控制如何影响不透明度和价值创造方面呈现出一幅复杂的图景。在本研究中,我们表明,在家族企业中,关于创始人的存在和他们所拥有的决策权的程度的差异产生了混合的结果。具体来说,我们发现,与类似的非家族企业相比,创始人在场并拥有重大决策权(影响力)的家族企业更透明,估值更高。在进一步的分析中,我们发现创始人提高了公司的运营效率,这部分解释了创始人公司的附加价值创造。我们发现,当创始人拥有更大的决策权(影响力)时,所有这些影响都会更强。相比之下,非创始人家族企业比非家族企业更不透明。此外,我们还根据创始人ceo的任期和任期范围,记录了他们对不透明度和价值影响的横截面差异。对于创始人兼首席执行官来说,随着创始人任期(创始人视野)的增加,公司不透明度增加(减少),价值减少(增加)。

In this study, we show that the mixed results arise from the differences among family firms with regard to the presence of founders and the extent of decision rights held by them. Specifically, we find that family firms in which founders are present and have significant decision rights (influence), are more transparent and have higher valuations, compared to similar non-family firms. In further analysis, we show that founders improve the operating efficiency of their firms and this partly explains the additional value creation in founder firms. We find all these effects to be stronger when founders have greater decision rights (influence). In contrast, non-founder family firms are more opaque than their non-family counterparts.

Blockchain technology innovation is proliferating in the private investment fund industry. Using a hand-selected dataset of private investment fund advisers that utilize blockchain technology in various functions (N=120), this article shows that the private fund advisers who utilize blockchain technology are able to generate significant benefits for their clients. The data analysis suggests that blockchain technology plays a primary role in front office and investment functions, in the securing of crypto assets, but also in private investment fund managers’ attempts to satisfy the growth expectations of clients. The findings are consistent with anecdotal evidence suggesting that the returns attainable through crypto investments have no short-term match in legacy systems. Although the use of blockchain technology in private investment fund strategies is still in its infancy, as it evolves and accelerates, the associated innovation benefits promise lasting change for the industry.
区块链技术创新在私募投资基金业遍地开花。本文使用手工选择的在各种功能中使用区块链技术的私人投资基金顾问数据集(N=120),表明使用区块链技术的私人基金顾问能够为其客户产生显着的利益。数据分析表明,区块链技术在前台和投资职能、加密资产安全以及私人投资基金经理试图满足客户增长预期方面发挥着主要作用。调查结果与轶事证据一致,表明通过加密投资获得的回报在遗留系统中没有短期匹配。尽管区块链技术在私人投资基金策略中的应用仍处于起步阶段,但随着它的发展和加速,相关的创新利益有望为该行业带来持久的变化。
