Takeover bid for Pironet

  • Yesterday evening CANCOM announced a voluntary bid for Pironet. Its shareholders will be offered EUR 4.50 in cash. As we have assumed, CANCOM is not paying a high premium.
  • CANCOM already holds 13.65% of the shares in Pironet and has agreed with Felix Höger, CEO of PIRONET NDG AG, and Udo Faulhaber, a member of the company's Executive Board, to purchase their PIRONET shares for EUR 4.50. These two agreements cover a total of approximately 13.75% of PIRONET NDG AG's shares and will bring CANCOM SE's shareholding to approximately 27.4%. Furthermore, CANCOM has not mentioned if the company has already secured the shares of the majority shareholder Otto Wolff Industrieberatung und Beteiligungen GmbH. Therefore, there are some risks for the takeover bid.
  • To make the acquisition, CANCOM will issue shares in exchange for cash contributions. Further details (e.g. a minimum acceptance threshold, time-frame of the offering, price of the new CANCOM shares etc.) of the capital increase have yet to be announced. The new shares will be offered to shareholders in a public offering. The capital increase by means of subscription rights will be based on a prospectus.
  • PIRONET NDH AG, based in Cologne, Germany, is the parent company of a group of IT companies specialising in cloud computing and content management business segments. The company provides IT resources and business applications as cloud services from its data centres in Germany. The portfolio of services offered by the group also includes planning, integration and operation of local private cloud and IT solutions at customer locations. The company has 280 staff.
  • Given Pironet's 2014e EV/EBIT multiple of 13 and growth of ca. 10%, the acquisition does not look cheap especially compared to CANCOM's EV/EBIT 2014e of 7 and given the fact that CANCOM has a proprietary private cloud offering, AHP private cloud. The average price target for Pironet is approximately EUR 4.50 according to Bloomberg. However, we assume that CANCOM will attempt to leverage its sales force to market Pironet's Cloud Managed Services in order to create higher growth. Thus, the acquisition aims to strengthen CANCOM's cloud position in the German market.
  • We estimate that CANCOM will need EUR 50m cash for the acquisition. Although Pironet (market cap ca. EUR 68m) has a net cash position of EUR 18m, CANCOM will need 75% of the voting rights (i.e. the shares of the majority shareholder) to gain access to this amount. As the terms and conditions of the capital increase are not available and it is not yet clear if the majority shareholder will sell his shares (he has not done so at higher Pironet share prices), we do not change our estimates, PT or rating for CANCOM.

Free Cash Flow Value Potential

Warburg Research's valuation tool "FCF Value Potential" reflects the ability of the company to generate sustainable free cash flows. It is based on the "FCF potential" - a FCF "ex growth" figure - which assumes unchanged working capital and pure maintenance capex. A value indication is derived by discounting the "FCF potential" of a given year with the weighted costs of capital. The fluctuating value indications over time add a timing element to the DCF model (our preferred valuation tool).
