Merge and acquisition is a complicated and professional procedure. It contains the integration of resources coming from the economics, finance, law, commerce, and management, etc. In response to the relationship between M&A and enterprise value, it also involves the different fields including Organization, business strategy theory, enterprise financial theory, Accounting, and Law. It's difficult to have a thorough study. covering everything as mentioned above. What I did here is to understand the various evaluation methods of enterprise value during M&A process. The enterprise value evaluation during M&A will be performed specific to different parties including company to emerge, company to be merged, and the combined one after merging. It’s easier to evaluate the existing two companies compared to evaluate the neutral combined company, which will be with much more difficulty and higher risky. In order to accurately evaluate the enterprise value of the combined one, the foundation will be based on the evaluation on the two existing companies with sufficient accuracy. Then the assumption of the running situation after merging, and judgment of the dimension of coordination effects will be the key points. For the evaluation method of enterprise value will have the income approach, the market approach, and the cost approach depends on the different consideration. Further the further detailed classification, please see Para. 7-2. The company which I am working for is not IPO yet, there's no fair enterprise value available for the reference. The periodic financial statements as considering by the mother company to evaluate the company's performance will be EPS, ROA, and ROE, etc. In the article discussion paragraph, the application of EVA (economic value added) was brought up for understanding. And the information collected regarding the comparison of ROS, ROE and EVA different performance evaluation at the different stages. Some scholars studied the premium and/or value creation of target companies after M&A via CAR (cumulative abnormal return) model. I ignored it here as the limitation of my personal knowledge in this field.
