Executive Summary
Richmond Disposal Equities is a leader in the garbage disposal business. We provide
garbage pickup and disposal services to municipalities across the state of Oz. Our clients
consist, mostly of residential dwellings in affluent neighborhoods. We provide an essential
services and our business has seen an explosion in growth as the population of the state and itsmunicipalities continues to increase. Our landfill life expectancy and long term contracts with
growing municipalities places us above the competition as we continue to rapidly grow and
expand our operations.
Business
Richmond Disposal collects and disposes garbage. Richmonds collection of garbage is
segmented into three categories (i) hauling, (ii) intermediate disposal (iii) final disposal.
Presently we are engaged in the collection and disposal of garbage from over 116,000
residents. Our competitive advantage is the size and life expectancy of our landfills, along with
our long term contracts with municipalities.
Competition
Our competitors are rapidly depleting the useful lives of their landfills. Once our
competitors have run out of landfill space they will have no other option but to utilize our
landfills. The central location of our Davies landfill will force our competitors to deal exclusively
with us or risk going out of business. We have a competitive advantage because our landfills
have a current life expectancy of 55 years. Most importantly we do not anticipate any new
companies to enter the market.
Risk
The greatest risks associated with our business today are governmental regulations
and the acquisition of long term municipal contracts. We have overcome these risks by working
closely with governmental regulators and our records indicate that currently we are operating
at or above government regulations. Secondly we have acquired long term contracts form local
municipalities with options to further renew the contract. Historically 95% of our customers
have renewed their contracts.
Sale of Richmond Disposal Equities
Richmond has been negotiating with various parties for the sale of the company. The
owners have worked extremely hard for the past twenty years in order to give Richmond an
exceptional reputation in the industry. However, the owners desire to sell the company and
retire. Richmond has negotiated a sale of the company and is currently in the process of
transferring ownership to the new management. The details of this transaction are provided in
this report.

Richmond Disposal Equities
Sellers Perspective
The first and foremost question to be addressed must be whether John wants to sell
Richmond Disposal Equities to prospective buyers or transfer the company to his heirs.
Alternatively, he may also want to sell the company but retain a certain amount of interest.
Here are some of the initial factors to be taken into consideration when making this decision:
John should sell and diversify earnings in stable investments
Given the fact that Elaina needs money for her day-to-day living, her old age and illness,
and the fact that her children show no interest in the company, Johns best option is to sell
Richmond before Elainas interests are passed on to her children. Once the interests are passed,
they will gain significant control of the company and given their inexperience, may want to
make a quick cash deal to sell the company.
In Johns old age and his desire to retire from the grind, he needs a stable portfolio of
investments to generate cash. Currently, all of his wealth is tied in this business which presents
a concentration risk. In order to avoid this risk, he should diversify his wealth by investing the
cash from sales into mature, income generating stocks such as (insert examples). These
businesses typically pay out quarterly dividends, which would allow John to live comfortably in
his retirement.

a financial buyer can be private equity funds, or investment banks. The financial buyer would
likely milk the business until Richmonds contracts are up for renewal, put a lot of debt on the
company, and look to sell.
John should sell to a strategic buyer because this type of buyer would generate more
synergy from the business by getting rid of redundant functional areas and jobs. This potential
for generating synergy will influence the buyer into paying more for the company as opposed to
financial buyers that are strictly concerned with capital.
The Buyers Perspective
Exclusivity
The buyer in this transaction wants exclusivity. The buyers position is that it will pay a
good amount of money for the business but John cant run an auction and has to deal strictly
with the buyer. The main reason that the buyer is looking for exclusivity is to avoid competing
with other potential buyers. The buyer should propose that John cannot reach out to other
companies for the 60 days and must deal with the buyer alone.
If john is unwilling to deal exclusively with the buyer, the buyer may offer a go-shop in
order to reach a middle ground. This way the buyer will make the offer and then allow John to
solicit bids for 2 weeks to see if he can get a better offer. Offering this provision in the contract
will of give John some comfort when making a semi-exclusive transaction.

Due Diligence
The most imperative concern for the buyer is due diligence. The buyer has to confirm all
the aspects of the business including the financials and Richmonds contracts. Any change of
control provisions within the contracts between Richmond and its customers would seriously
affect the position of the buyer. This type of provision gets triggered when a business decides
to sell to a buyer and lead to nullifying to existing contracts. Richmonds fundamental activity is
the contracts which generate income. Therefore, the buyer needs to perform due diligence and
visit Richmonds existing clients to be assured that the client is ok with the change of
management.
Evaluation
Liquidity
Appendix G shows that Richmonds current ratio of asset to debt (0.40) is below the
bench mark of 1.5 -2.0, which shows a negative aspect towards short term financial
responsibilities. This is a red flag for the buyer because it is a sign that Richmond will not be
able to pay off its short term debt obligations and still fund its ongoing operations. Currently,
Richmond will only be able to pay off 40% of its debt obligations when considering the amount
of capital available to pay these debts.
Solvency
Richmonds debt-to-equity ratio is 0.40. In another words, its total liabilities are roughly
equal to less than half of its owners equity. This ratio indicates that Richmond has not been
-

financing its growth with debt accumulated from outside financing. The buyer can look at this
number as a good sign because companies that are too highly leveraged, even a slight
downturn in profitability could leave the company incapable of repaying its creditors.
Richmond on the other hand, for every dollar of assets, financed only about 30 cents
with debt and the other 70 cents with owners equity, this generally indicates that Richmond is
using less leverage and has a strong equity position.
Managerial Efficiency
Richmonds ratio of accounts receivable to sales revenue is roughly 11%, this means
Richmonds accounts receivables are 11% of its annual revenues. If we assume that revenue
had been generated evenly throughout the year, we can see that it takes customers about 41
days to pay off their accounts. This is a very reasonable period because we can see that
Richmond can take, on average 68 days to pay off its accounts payable. Therefore, between the
number of days it takes for customers to pay their accounts and the number of days Richmond
has to pay off its debts, there is a 27 day cushion.
Profitability
The margin ratio reflects the percentage of sales that remain after direct cost (cost of
goods sold) and indirect costs (operating expenses) were reduced. Richmonds margin shows
that every dollar of sales generates 14 cents of operating income. The return on asset (ROA)
shows the amount of income that each dollar of assets generate. Richmonds ROA is around

53%. The return on equity (ROE) measures the return on owners investment in a firm.
Richmonds ROE is 75% leverage towards debt.
Determining the Purchase Price
In order to figure out how much Richmond is worth when purchasing the business, it
should be assumed, for the purpose of the evaluation that Richmond will be around forever.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
There is an assumption to be made here, based on the figures in table 1 relating to
present value of free cash flow, we can forecast what the company is worth from 2016 to
eternity. In order to utilize a practical way of evaluating how much capital Richmond will
generate from 2016 forward, we will take the EBIDTA value and apply a multiple to it. The
multiple used is 7 times. We got this multiple by looking at other businesses that were very
similar, and what an investor is will to pay today for the businesses. (Reference to table)
For example, in 2012, we took the total revenue of the company and subtracted the
total operating expenses and then added other income to get the EBITDA value of $5540. This
figure reflects how much Richmond will make in 2012 before income tax, interest for
borrowing, depreciation and amortization. However, in order to evaluate how much cash will
be generated, we subtracted depreciation and amortization which left us with the EBIT value.
The main purpose for these calculations is to see how much cash is generated, we are
not concerned with accounting profits here because they take into account non-cash items
such as depreciation. We also deducted corporate tax at 39% and capital expenditures
-

8/22
8
(equipment purchases and other expenditures for the year). Finally, we deducted the change in
working capital which was basically the difference between what Richmond owed to creditors
and what Richmond was owed. These calculations reflect the amount of free cash flow
Richmond possesses.
In a world where there is no concept of present value, Richmond would generate the
sum of the free cash flow figures from 2012 to 2016 plus the $84,000 figure (2016 EBITDA
figure multiplied by exit multiple of 7). In order to figure out the present value of the cash that
Richmond would generate, we took into consideration a present value factor. For example, in
2012, Richmond will generate 2280, however the buyer is not going to pay this amount for it
today because cash is worth more today than it is worth in the future. Taking this figure of 2280
and multiplying it by the present value factor shows a present value of cash flow to be $2127.
We similarly did this evaluation for all the years and reached a number of $11,532. We did the
same present value calculation of the terminal year and got a figure of $41, 923. Adding these
figures together and subtracting the negative cash flow ($70,000), we reached a total equity
value $53,384.
Trading Comparable Analysis
One of the reasons why we decided to do this analysis is because we are making the
assumption that similar companies in the industry should have the same evaluation, such as
multiples. The market price of a company is derived from multiplying the stock price by the
number of shares; however enterprise value also takes into consideration the debt value and
adds that value to this figure. Table to shows the price to earnings multiple for 5 companies,
-
8/2/2019 Analytical Tools - Final Project With Executive Summary
9/22
9
this multiple is important because it shows the figure that the company trades at. For example,
if a companys earnings per share is $1 and their stock price is $10, the pe multiple would be 10,
therefore it would be trading at 10 times its earnings. Waste Connection for example has a pe
multiple of 9.2, meaning that its enterprise value is 9.2 times its EBITDA.
These figures are important in our analysis because in calculating Richmonds enterprise
value, we are using the multiples from these 5 companies. Therefore, based on the multiples of
competitors, the value of Richmond could be between 32.6 million dollars and about 51 million
dollars.
The seller will likely try to add a premium to the value of the company because the seller
wants some return; usually companies add a 30% premium to the enterprise value in order to
earn profits. In the overall picture, Table shows that Richmond should be valued somewhere
between 33 and 51 million with an average of 40 million. Adding a 30% premium leaves the
value of Richmond somewhere between 42 and 60 million. This range reflects an acceptable
range of values.
Precedent Transactions Analysis
This analysis reflects the multiples similar transactions that have taken place. In order to get an
idea of the enterprise of value of Richmond, we can use these multiples. The EBITDA value we
are using is for the last twelve months (LTM), $4,579. By multiplying this figure with the
multiples of similar transactions, we are trying to figure out, how much Richmond may be
worth when comparing other buy-outs. This analysis shows that Richmond is roughly worth
$39, 244.

The Football Field Analysis
In order to ascertain an acceptable value as to Richmonds worth, we used this analysis to take
an average of the DCF analysis, the precedent transactions, and trading comparable. The result
of this analysis reflects that Richmond is roughly worth $48, 156,000.
The Negotiation Process
First Meeting
Seller valued company at $84,322,000 based on a discounted cash flow analysis.
However the buyer had an issue with this figure because first and first most, it never took into
account the present value factor. Money is worth more today than it is in the future, so buyer
wanted to get a more accurate idea of how much the income generated in the future would be
worth today.
Adding the present value factor, the companys equity value was shown as $53,000,000.
The buyer proposed that this is how much the company is worth TODAY.
Even with this figure the buyer had a problem because it may not be an accurate
statement of worth for Richmond. The seller is relying too heavily on the projected numbers
and is not taking into account other factors that may significantly affect the value of the
company:
Buyers concerns: (1) the condition of the vehicle fleet and its current value (2) details of
Richmonds contracts (3) Ensure that existing contracts will not be affected by new
management (4) verify all financial statements with personal accountant (5) True capacity of

Richmond Landfills (6) IP rights to Richmond (7) No revenue in 2001? (8) Why does the
regulatory agency report a only a 7 year useful life for this landfill (9) How long it will take for
surrounding landfills to reach full capacity same with Canton life expectancy reported at 6
years by agency (10) If current amendment to city of Willard exporting rate is upheld, how
much more volume will the Davies Landfill Receive (11) Why the lack of space in the Davies
landfill during the last quarter of 2011 (12) $7 million of standby letters in off balance sheet
liabilities (13) How far are the discussions regarding the acceptance of the 200 tpd of biosolid
waste (14) Why isnt Davies landfill accepting more out of state waste stream even though it is
more convenient and cheaper than both the Charle and Brendan landfills (15) Even if Richmond
can secure the anticipated contracts it will bid for in 2012 and 2013, will it be able to handle the
increased amount of waste? What impact would this have on the capacity of the current
landfills owned by Richmond?
Second Meeting
For the assumptions in the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis the seller initially used a
WACC or discount rate of 7%. This was based on the rate that other like companies were
using. The buyer cant help but notice that these other companies are multi-billion dollar
players, the seller should not be using the same discount rate as them because these
companies are secure. Instead, the buyer proposed a discount rate of 15% in order to evaluate
the company accurately because it factors in the increased risk with Richmond due to the fact
that its a privately held company, the potential for union strikes, and significant reduction of
income compared to the other companies.

The seller also valued Richmond based on trading comparables. The result of the
analysis showed that Richmond was worth $53,000,000. This was based on EBITDA rate of
Richmond multiplied by the exit multiples (what investors were willing to pay for these
companies) that these companies used and averaged these figures. However, the seller also
added a 30% premium to these figures because the seller stated that he wants some take out
value from the company. Companies never sell for exactly how much they are worth; they
always put a premium on the figure.
Third Meeting
The buyer evaluated Richmond in another way using precedent transactions Analysis.
Buyer looked at similar transactions in the past and used Richmonds 2010 EBITDA rate and
multiplied it by the multiple that these companies were using. The average of these
transactions reflected that on average, Richmond would be worth $39,244,000. The seller
proposed that instead of using a single method to evaluate the company, a more accurate
method of looking at the total value would be to take an average of the results of these
different analyses. Therefore, the partys agreed on a football field analysis which averaged out
the DCF, trading comparable, and precedent transactions to give us a figure of $48,156,000.
Based on the condition of Richmonds vehicle fleet and other concerns mentioned earlier, the
buyer offered a price of $45,000,000. The seller did not accept this term for many reasons:
(1)Future growth strategy promises significant income generation by Richmond (2)
surrounding landfills reaching capacity meaning more business for Richmond (3) Good

Faith value of the company with Richmonds contacts, long-term contracts and promise
of stability
After this, buyers discounted this price by 15% to allow a possible return of on investments..
1. Buyer: Discounted by buyer at 15% this leaves the price at $41 million.
2. Seller: Discounted price $2 million for vehicle upgrades ($46 million)
3. Buyer: Also added $2 million for accounts payable ($43 million)
4. Seller Argues these points in the negotiations: good faith value of company is not
reflected in the numbers (20 years of good service + pending bio solid contract +
growth strategy + other landfills filling up (competitors) + 95% chance of contract
renewals
5. Buyer Argues: ($3 million in assumed contracts is speculation + cost of finishing
single stream recycling project + union might strike + continuing payment on canton
perpetual land fill (half million))
6. After these negotiations the buyer was still left with a figure of $43 million and seller
with $46 million.
We decided that the final price of the company would be based on the payment structure of
the deal. If seller is willing to take $43 million, buyer is willing to give cash. If Seller takes $46
million, buyers are willing to pay half in cash, and half in stock options.
Type of Transaction
Seller wants a cash deal, even though he would have to pay taxes for this transaction, he
recognizes that by investing his cash in mature stocks, and he can make the money he paid in
taxes back rather quickly. He does not want to own stock options because he wants to diversify
his wealth and avoid concentration risk of investing all his wealth in one company.
Buyer does not want to pay cash for the transaction because (1) by investing available
cash buyer can generate income over time instead of paying the cash out to the seller (2) avoid

paying the cost of borrowing capital (3) spreads out risk to the seller by spreading out stock
options
Detailed Purchase and Contract Terms
The parties came to an agreement on a total cash deal for $43,000,000. Elaina is entitled to half
of this amount after taxes. The money will be paid out in the following manner:
1. $20 million in a cash lump sum payment which will be divided equally between John and
Elaina
2. Of the remaining $23 million, the buyers will make annuity payments of $1 million per
month for 23 months, which will also be divided equally between the two sellers
Elaina will likely put her money in a trust for her children. This money will be transferred to
her children at the time of her death. John will be taking the same measures in order to secure
his retirement for as long as he is alive, and then transferring the money to his children.
Impact of transaction on Spencer Family
John: (1) He will be able to retire peacefully and will have financial security from transaction. He
can spread out his investments into mature stocks
Kory: (1) not very interested in the operations of the company but will benefit from the
transaction because he will gain financial security for his future when trust is transferred to his
name. This will give some financial security to his wife and children

Brendan: (1) Negotiated a three year contract between Brendan and buyer in order to keep
Brendan employed after the transaction if he wants (Bidding and client relations). It would be
good for the buyer because Brendan has 3 years experiences and a familiar face is always good
when management changes. (2) Brendan will also gain financial security as half of Johns money
will be transferred to Brendan at the time of Johns death
Elaina: (1) She will receive a large cash payment in order to help with her living expenses in her
old age (2) She can transfer money to her 2 children at the time of her death (3) she will not be
concerned about the day to day operations of Richmond and will have financial security and
funds for health expenses
George: (1) can negotiate to keep George employed at the landfill (2) He will gain half of
Elainas money at the time of her death
Bob: (1) will receive future interests in a trust that will be transferred to him at the time of
Elainas death. He can use this money to operate/expand his own business (2) doesnt seem like
he cares about Richmond and it should not have much of an impact on him
