Spinoffs: A Good Place to Discover Long-Term Value
Spinoffs: A Good Place to Discover Long-Term Value
Research has found that spinoff stocks, on average, produce market-beating returns over time. The spinoff, as a type of divestiture, works opposite of mergers and acquisitions, leading to potentially higher capital efficiency and more growth opportunities. Why? The spinoff business, post the transaction, gains greater flexibility to deploy its resources on its operations and investments without limitations imposed on it by the parent company. Hence, value could be unlocked for long-term shareholders.
研究發現,平均而言,隨着時間的推移,剝離出來的股票會產生超越市場的回報。剝離作為一種資產剝離,與併購相反,可能帶來更高的資本效率和更多的增長機會。為什麼?剝離出來的業務(交易後)獲得了更大的靈活性,可以將資源部署到運營和投資上,而不受母公司的限制。因此,可以為長期股東釋放價值。

One of the most well-known spinoff transactions in recent memory was the divestiture of Philip Morris International (NYSE:PM) from Altria (NYSE:MO), which enabled the former, with more freedom outside the constraints of U.S. corporate ownership, to pursue sales growth in emerging markets. Meanwhile, the new Altria had room to optimize its cost structure with a focus on the U.S. market. As you can see below, Philip Morris is the notable perennial outperformer here in terms of return on assets.
最近記憶中最著名的剝離交易之一是剝離菲利普莫里斯國際公司奧馳亞(NYSE:MO)的新產品上市,使奧馳亞(NYSE:MO)能夠在美國公司所有權之外擁有更多自由,追求新興市場的銷售增長。與此同時,新的奧馳亞有空間優化其成本結構,重點放在美國市場。正如你在下面看到的,菲利普莫里斯在資產回報率方面是這裏值得注意的常年優勝者。
It is not uncommon that the management team of the spun off entity receives financial incentives, such as shares and options and, therefore, are motivated to build the long-term success of the company. Additionally, we often observed that through spinoffs, companies tend to carve out the good business (or assets) from the mediocre ones, spawning even greater long-term investment opportunities. Take Omega Flex (NASDAQ:OFLX) as an example. The long-standing leader in the so-called flexible metal hose niche was once a subsidiary of Mestek (MCCK), an HVAC and metal forming equipment manufacturer, until being spun off in 2005. Management said the main reason for the break-up was to get Omega Flex out of the internal competition for capital at the parent company. As a result, the high-growth, capital-light, cash-rich business at Omega Flex can access the capital markets to make better strategic decisions itself.
這並不少見,管理層團隊剝離出來的實體中的大多數人都會獲得股票和期權等財務激勵,因此,他們有動力建立公司的長期成功。此外,我們經常觀察到,通過剝離,公司往往會從平庸的業務(或資產)中剝離出優秀的業務(或資產),從而產生更大的長期投資機會。以歐米茄Flex(Omega Flex)為例。納斯達克:OFLX)為例。在所謂的柔性金屬軟管利基市場上,這家長期領先的公司曾是暖通空調和金屬成型設備製造商梅斯特克(Mestek)的子公司,直到2005年被剝離。管理層表示,拆分的主要原因是為了讓歐米茄Flex退出母公司對資本的內部競爭。因此,高增長、輕資本、現金充裕的業務Omega Flex可以進入資本市場,自己做出更好的戰略決策。
According to the chart below, Omega Flex has maintained its annual return on assets above 10% every year since the spinoff, compared to its ex-parent's struggle to break even (before de-listing).
根據下面的圖表,歐米茄Flex自分拆以來,每年的資產回報率都保持在10%以上,而其前母公司(在退市前)難以實現收支平衡。
Checking the ownership structure, we see that Kevin Hoben, chairman and CEO, and Mark Albino, president and chief operating officer, respectively hold approximately 10% and 4% of the total shares outstanding as of the latest filing.
檢查股權結構,我們看到,截至最新提交的文件,董事長兼首席執行官凱文·霍本(Kevin Hoben)和總裁兼首席運營官馬克·阿爾比諾(Mark Albino)分別持有約10%和4%的流通股。
