[10]
hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo or watch the video
[15]
till the end also if you are new to this channel then you can subscribe us by
[19]
clicking the bell icon Friends today we are going to learn a concept that is a
[23]
tutorial on negative goodwill whether it is good or bad then that is what
[28]
something we are going to discuss over here as you can see there is a example
[32]
over here of Aareal Bank which completes a $350 million dollar westlmmo
[36]
acquisition if you go down over here there is an article over here which is
[41]
written that it will Aareal Bank completes and the written in a statement of Areal say
[46]
that the transaction creates added value for the Aareal bank from the very
[51]
beginning partly with the negative goodwill approximately close enough to
[55]
150 million recorded upon the closing recorded upon the closing of the deal in
[61]
addition to the one of that effect the transaction will make a positive
[64]
contribution to the Aareal bank group of a consolidated operating profit so after
[69]
reading this we have couple of fir things that are coming in into are paying
[73]
so let's get into the nitty-gritty of the same the very first thing what exactly
[78]
is negative goodwill so we have heard about goodwill a lot we
[82]
have heard about goodwill a lot right so it is an additional business pull you
[86]
know basically which an entity enjoys due to a relation with the customer okay
[92]
it matters a lot standing in the market known the quality of the product and
[97]
services etc so it may amend it from the proprietary technology or patent or it
[103]
is holding and then intellectual property right it holds and so on and so
[107]
forth see an entity which is having a goodwill will basically be capable of
[112]
generating more business with less input so it's like if you have more in more
[118]
goodwill then in that scenario with less efforts you can generate more output
[124]
more output means more sales and so on and so forth as compared to the
[128]
competitors with lesser goodwill or no goodwill in case of lesser it
[133]
is going to be the vise versus other case okay now you have heard about
[140]
have you I mean my question is that have you heard about negative goodwill if
[144]
not I mean does it mean a bad reputation or something have you seen any entity
[149]
who is losing business due to its brand or its negative goodwill well it's not
[153]
so the negative goodwill literally does not mean that at all now what we learned
[160]
in our example over here we note over here then from the above the Aareal Bank
[166]
they completed the acquisition of West westlmmo that was euros of 350 million
[173]
acquiring a euro 4.3 billion performing European commercial real estate loan
[178]
book so this transaction added value to the Aareal Bank as 150 million euro and
[184]
was record recorded as negative goodwill which we just saw round about here upon
[190]
basically closing the deal so basically in this to tutorial we look at what is
[195]
negative goodwill and how does it adds value okay
[199]
so that's what we are going to get into the details
[205]
now first and foremost thing my first thing is what is negative goodwill what
[211]
is negative goodwill so that is my first and the foremost calculation or
[217]
something conceptual which I'm going to talk about see negative goodwill is
[220]
termed as coined in the context of one company that is taking over the another
[225]
let's say that is company and then they'll say Company B so a is taking
[228]
over B and it's it's a gain basically occurring to a former when the
[233]
consideration is paid for an acquisition let's say a is selling to be okay so
[238]
what is the goodwill that should be calculated for a so basically it is
[242]
again the gain occurring to the a when the consideration is paid for the
[246]
acquisition to be for the acquisition and is less than the fair market value
[251]
of its net tangible assets in literal term negative goodwill implies a bargain
[257]
purchase very important this is now the important aspect to ponder here is that
[263]
why would someone be willing to sell the entity's assets below its fair market
[267]
value it is as simple as that why would some would be ready to do
[272]
something like that well any wise person would think that the assets can be
[277]
disposed off at a fair market price and then why and why question for negative
[281]
goodwill will arise in the very first place so well let's look into this see
[285]
there may be circumstances when which may force such a situation the fourth
[289]
situation namely is force or distressed sell forced or distressed sell that can
[298]
be the first and the foremost thing the second very important over here
[303]
recognition of measurement exception for particular item which is discussed in I
[308]
IFRS three that is the international financial reporting standard third any
[315]
error basically in you can say in the valuations of assets or and controlling
[322]
or non-controlling interest in any entity so that can be one of the reason
[326]
say negative goodwill is basically is a gain for acquirer entity who is the
[332]
acquire over here B is acquirer and a is a acquire is acquirer and B is acquired
[339]
so negative goodwill is a gain for an acquirer entity and should be recognized
[343]
okay for a recognized in its or books but
[347]
before that acquirer must basically a over here must review that the
[352]
calculation to ensure that everything is arithmetic correct now there is even
[358]
basically there should not be any mistake made in the calculation of
[361]
various element as negative goodwill basically does not arise normally so
[364]
after all buying a business costlier than the market price being in a notion
[368]
that we have acquired the same at a profit is not a wise idea so once it is
[373]
confirmed that the net result is gain that is gained on acquisition once we
[381]
have confirmed that there is a gain on acquisition the resulting gain should be
[384]
recognized in the books of accounts that is in the profit and loss account of the
[389]
acquirer that is a any change in the management or control of the company you
[394]
know of valuation of the asset must be performed according to the general
[397]
accepted accounting principle which is known as GAAP okay see this this
[403]
exercise is commonly referred to as you know purchase price allocation PPA that
[409]
is purchase price a location C this is called so because the purchase price of
[413]
the acquired company over here the acquired is which company's been
[417]
acquired a okay so the acquired company over here the value of the acquired
[421]
company over here is greater than the value of the acquired assets so this may
[427]
also be understood as the whole company is greater than the sum of its parts so
[430]
then the additional value of the whole company over and above is referred to as
[434]
goodwill as simple as that so there are certain transaction in
[438]
which the total value of the parts put together as an individual assets
[442]
acquired in the transaction it exceeds the price paid for the total company
[446]
okay so this is commonly known as bargain purchase now the next thing the
[453]
positive goodwill example if we go for the next most important thing that we
[456]
are going to discuss is positive a goodwill now to understand the negative
[462]
goodwill you know it's helpful to understand the positive good feel
[465]
beforehand okay so in a typical acquisition scenario that was in our
[469]
case of AB you know acquired tangible assets
[474]
include like you know your debtors and then you have your inventory that is
[479]
your stock you have fixed assets and so on and so forth okay machineries planted
[485]
machineries and so on and so forth so there may be number of intentional
[488]
assets in addition to the tangible assets which form a part of the
[491]
acquisitions and are seen as a value drivers so this intangible assets
[496]
basically all goodwill in any patent copyright trademark can be a brand name
[501]
can be a patent or certain technology but can be license positive customer
[506]
relationships having capability to have an additional business pool this is some
[510]
of the intangible assets so to pass the test of the allocation it is mandatory
[513]
that there must be a legal enforceable contract to use this assets in the favor
[519]
of the acquirer company that is in our case of a okay so after a lock or
[525]
locating the value of all these assets any exist amount left over is considered
[530]
as positive goodwill I hope you got the idea regarding how things will worked
[536]
out so let's see the example on how things are work out in case of goodwill
[541]
now this is an example as you can see this example will show the purchase
[545]
price allocation for 5 million acquisition so we have receivables over
[551]
here we have plant and machinery over here land and building data there are
[556]
some intangible assets like patent and trademark we have unallocated intangible
[561]
assets like goodwill and purchase consideration okay so basically what we
[567]
can see from the above that the fair value of the assets which has been taken
[571]
over over here is close enough to 4.2 billion dollar that is USD 4.2 billion
[580]
million dollar which effectively means that the price paid over and above
[584]
the fair value of the asset is positive goodwill that is close enough to 0.8
[590]
now you have got the idea regarding the positive goodwill let's see some example
[595]
on negative goodwill see most of the time when you know business purchase
[599]
basically see basically what you just saw purchase consideration is how much
[603]
as you can see 50 that is 5 million right and the goodwill is 8,00,000 so the
[610]
difference is going to be your assets okay so basically your assets unless
[614]
your purchase consideration is going to give you a balance in figure and that
[616]
balance in figure is your goodwill now let's see some negative goodwill example
[620]
see when most of the time business acquisition transaction happened would
[623]
result in positive goodwill there may be some instances where the fair value of
[627]
the assets that have been taken over is more than the price paid for the
[632]
acquisition there's a scenario typically results into negative code fill and
[637]
generally it is termed as we just discussed known as bargain purchase so
[642]
using the same example used in this particular scenario if the purchase
[647]
price of the deal let's say over here is 4 million instead of 5 million instead
[653]
of 5 million net set is 4 million so the purchase allocation would be somewhat
[658]
like this as you can see all of the details remaining the same your complete
[663]
assets that is your tangible assets then you have intangible assets it will
[667]
remain the same the only changes is your purchase consideration so when your
[671]
purchase consideration has been changed to 4 million what do you see your
[675]
goodwill goes negative so you're deducting 4 million from all
[678]
this total so you basically this total is greater than your purchase
[682]
consideration then in that same scenario goodwill will be negative if we revise
[686]
again we say that if all this value of the asset if that is less than the
[690]
purchase consideration that amounts to positive goodwill I hope you got the
[695]
idea now this type of scenario basically calls in additional analysis ok
[701]
that we will look shortly see there are some signs you know which gives a
[707]
negative goodwill idea see there are several indication which suggests that
[710]
you know the transaction may may be bargain purchased so some indication sign
[714]
of bargain purchase included like you know the acquired you can say the
[718]
acquired company has incurred a financial losses and in the recent past
[722]
or has been in debt and is not able to service its
[726]
debt the second is that the net book value the nbv the net book value of the
[732]
assets taken over is more than the purchase consideration that has been
[736]
paid okay the third that can be that the transaction has been carried out
[742]
secretly and possibility of the higher value is not been explored so you can
[747]
see over here I can write secretly the transaction has been taken and conducted
[752]
secretly the fourth thing is that you know the a single bidder has taken
[756]
advantage of the situation and the absence of the in absence of the other
[760]
bidder so I'll just write single bit over here as a pond as a part of the
[763]
PowerPoint the deal fifth one the deal has been finalized in a very haste
[768]
situation or in a haste condition within a very short span of time
[771]
that can also lead to negative the seller was compelled to sell the
[776]
business against his will or in a desperate situation then that can happen
[782]
the seventh one is that the existence of the very fact that the acquirer has more
[787]
knowledge of the acquired business so there should be a very strong reason as
[790]
to why the transaction is a bargain transaction and and the same should be
[796]
documented properly as to why a bargain purchases represented you the fair
[800]
market value of the assets taken over so if the purchase price allocation cannot
[804]
be articulated precisely as to why the purchase price location should be should
[808]
have negative goodwill this will call for a revaluation of the fair value of
[813]
each and every assets so in the absence of the above
[818]
based you can see over here it may be concluded that the fair value of the
[821]
overall business is more than the value of the photos
[826]
consideration that is a purchase price this means simply means that the
[829]
transaction did not happen at the fair value in such a situation the concluded
[833]
fair value is the amount allocated to the acquired assets and any excess
[837]
amount or and about the fair value of the business would be treated as
[839]
extraordinary gains so finally to make a final conclusion on the about the prime
[844]
most implication of the bargain purchase is that the gain of the buyer if it is a
[849]
purchase below the fair value of the acquire assets a bargain purchase gain
[853]
should be recognized at the time of the acquisitions and recorded as
[857]
extra-ordinary item extra-ordinary for income basically extraordinary income so
[866]
that is at the basically the date of acquisition and however it is important
[871]
to note that this is again for a purpose of accounting or accounting only so this
[875]
would not in no way to be included in the calculation of income subject to taxes
