Value integration savings
What you will learn
Model when benefits and costs arrive after a deal.
Net integration cash flow = realised benefits − integration cash costs
Build a timing bridge from gross synergy to cash realised after implementation costs. Distinguish recurring expense savings from integration costs, capex and delayed execution. Discount each period using consistent assumptions and test whether the target’s standalone plan already includes the benefit. A fictional acquirer spends ₹10 crore this year and expects ₹15 crore next year. At 10%, their two cash flows have combined present value of about ₹3.64 crore.
