Is Agnt (AGNT) a takeover target?
A leveraged buyout does not work for Agnt on its latest figures: it has no positive EBITDA to borrow against (−$7.3M over the last 12 months, on revenue of $5.0B). Historically 6.6% of companies with its figures were bought within a year (1.32× the average).
Why a leveraged buyout does not fit
A leveraged buyout is paid for mostly with debt that the company's own cash flow repays. Agnt's EBITDA over the last 12 months was −$7.3M on revenue of $5.0B, so there is nothing to lend against and nothing to repay a loan with: a buyer would have to pay almost entirely with its own money. That is the kind of deal another company — a strategic buyer that wants the products, the pipeline or the technology — makes, not a private-equity fund. The model therefore gives no buyout price.
What a takeover could cost
Takeovers on record paid a median premium of 32.5% over the share price before the deal (the middle half 20% to 51.8%), according to the 1,437 merger proxies and tender-offer responses on EDGAR that state a premium. At the median, Agnt would cost about $4.31 a share, $724M for all its shares.
| Premium | % | Price a share | All shares |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low end (a quarter of deals paid less) | 20% | $3.91 | $656M |
| Median | 32.5% | $4.31 | $724M |
| High end (a quarter paid more) | 51.8% | $4.94 | $829M |
The odds, from history
Historically 6.6% of companies with its figures were bought within a year (1.32× the average). Its figures put it in decile 9 of 10 (10 = the most likely to be bought). The odds come from a model of every merger proxy, tender-offer response and going-private statement filed on EDGAR since 2011, set against each company's size, margins, debt, cash flow and growth the year before.
