Q1.How would you measure and evaluate Scepter’s
decision to purchase ATH Technologies in 2011?
Did they earn an appropriate return on investment?
- The total price, if all earn-out conditions are met, is probably around $150m in 1990
dollars, after discounting at about 18%. „
- The target income for 1994 is $24m.
- This would need to grow substantially, and for a long period, in order to earn an
appropriate ROI. „
There may have been non-financial considerations such as
- access to new technologies and markets,
- expansion of product portfolio, and
- first mover advantages.
However, the laissez-faire approach of Scepter after the purchase does not suggest the
presence of operating synergies between Scepter and ATH.
Q2. How could Scepter have monitored ATH
Technologies managers?
- The new product pipeline should have been audited.
- Reports on customer satisfaction, quality and adherence to FDA regulations should have
been generated.
- A long term profit plan should have been developed, and incentives built around this.
- The annual budget, including R&D and marketing expenditures should have been
negotiated.
- Formal control systems should have monitored inputs, processes and outputs. Input
and process controls are more timely than output controls in flagging problems.
- If long run viability is the goal, short run incentives must be balanced with long run
incentives, and input and process controls are more important.
