Vertical integration is the trend in
the semi-conductor industry.
“One-stop” business model, emphasized
in annual reports of semi-conductor firms,
is achieved by “vertical integration.”
• Qualcomm(高通) buying CSR (2015)
and Wilocity (focusing on IoT industry)
• TSMC developing the INFO SiP
technology (entering packaging
market)
• ASE focusing on integrating EMS

Prediction on EV with respect to EBITDA

It is a great buying point for Foxconn since SPIL is
currently undervalued by $6.57 per share
SPIL’s forecast EBITDA in 2015 suggests a higher market value of equity.
EV from the model is
NT$ 18.4 B.
Current EV is
NT$ 16.4 B.
• Current price (8/28) is 39.5, but the target price for SPIL is NT$ 46.07
(undervalued by NT$ 6.57) under the current EBITDA forecast in 2015

BizPro 9th 13
SPIL’s exchange ratio 2.34 : 1 (implied price NT$ 40.03)
is reasonable and attractive for Foxconn.
Average EPS
in 2 years
• Focus on two companies‘ future earning performances
• NT$8.06 : NT$2.83 = 2.85 : 1
Average BV per
share in 2 years
• Focus on book values of two companies’ common stocks
• NT$63.98 : NT$21.6 = 2.96 : 1
Average MV per
share in 60 days
• Focus on market values of two companies’ common stocks
• NT$93.49 : NT$40.03 = 2.34 : 1
The ratio 2.34 : 1 (with implied buying price $40.03) is
reasonable from the above 3 pricing methods.

Foxconn's EPS Dilution
Before Acquisition After Acquisition
The EPS dilution is significant for SPIL
for the NT$ 336,492 M (21%) equity.
The EPS dilution causes little impact on
Foxconn for the 2.2% raising equity.
• Should be careful that SPIL’s shareholders may be opposed to the acquisition.
• One reasonable solution is to set exchange ratio as 2.05 - 2.15 : 1 (NT$ 43.7 - 45.7)
(95% confidence interval for SPIL’s target stock price by DCF synergy model)
