APPLYING PRIVATE EQUITY TECHNIQUES TO PUBLIC MARKETS
13
How we identify value in potential investments
Source: GVQIM
We focus on four key drivers of shareholder value creation to maximise the chance of success
All investments are valued using an in-house re-rating model
Focus on GVQ cash yield* * Enterprise value to operating cash less
maintenance capital expenditure
All investments undergo in-house, prospective
cash-flow and historic modelling
Focus on growth in operating cash flow
All investments are valued using an in-house de-gearing model
Focus on transfer of value from debt to equity holders
over investment period
All investments are valued using an in house
leveraged buy-out model Focus on recent relevant trade and private equity

Valuation case study: Shire

Shire shows significant upside on all four of GVQIM’s valuation methodologies
Shire
Growth Corporate Activity
Value De-gearing • Trades at a discount to long term history and significant discount to pharma companies with similar growth e.g. Novo Nordisk
• Implied impact of re-rating to relevant peers of mid single digits p.a.
• Market leading positions in niches with structural growth
• Strong history of consistent double digit EPS growth
• Forecast double digit annual revenue and profit growth 2016-2020E, enhanced by operational synergies from Baxalta transaction
• Strong cash generation bolstered by recent Baxalta transaction
• Rapid de-leveraging; targeting 2-3x ND / EBITDA 12-18m post close (implies >1.5 turns of ND/EBITDA reduction p.a.)
• Forecast operating cashflow of c$6bn p.a. from 2018 onwards = c6% of market cap
• Material discount to precedent M&A transactions, typically >14x EBITDA
• Implied EBITDA multiple of recent bid approaches: - AbbVie bid for Shire c15x - Pfizer bid for AstraZeneca c14x - Pfizer bid for Allergan c19x
• Strong history of earnings accretive M&A

How we identify coveted assets
Qualitative Quantitative
• Niche market leaders
• Orderly end markets, with some growth
• Sustainable business model/franchise/uniqueness
• Overseas earnings
• Able to pass on price increases
• Intellectual property
• Operational know-how
• High barriers to entry
• High and/or improving ROCE
• Strong cash conversion
• Limited capex or working capital investment needed to finance growth
• Recurring revenues/profits/cashflows
• Ideally achieving, or has potential to achieve double digit operating profit margin
• Realisable surplus tangible fixed assets and/or working capital
We believe coveted assets retain value even in tough times, and are more likely to be acquired
We look for characteristics which GVQIM believes potential acquirers value highly

Our Black List screens out companies with fundamental business risks
Operational
• Excessive reliance on a single product, customer, supplier or distributor
• The primary driver of profitability cannot be influenced by management (e.g. resources)
• Inherently low margins
• Structurally declining markets
Financial
• Poor accounting systems or controls
• Weak cash flows – especially when reported profits look good!
• Excessive gearing
Governance
• Controlling shareholder with misaligned interests
• Below average/deteriorating governance practices
• Stakeholders unwilling to engage constructively
We have learnt what to avoid from previous experiences

CONCLUSION
27
We approach investing in public markets differently
• Valuation focused – We seek all four drivers of return: growth, value, and the potential for
equity value creation through corporate activity and degearing – Our primary valuation tools are leveraged buy out models, cash flow
modelling and relevant M&A transaction data – Investment based on forecast IRRs, not relative value or traditional ratios
• Research driven – Well developed, multi-stage, documented due diligence process – Extensive use of industry experts including a dedicated Industrial Advisory
Panel – Investment proposals include entry and exit strategies, and catalysts for
value creation
• Team based approach – Every investment is appraised by between four and nine people – Research Committee ensures consistency of approach, reviews
investments – Dedicated Fund Managers on each GVQIM product
