The acquisition of OmniMax may not achieve its intended benefits, and certain difficulties, costs or expenses may outweigh such intended benefits.
The Company may be unable to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of OmniMax. The success of the acquisition will depend, in part, on its ability to realize the anticipated benefits of combining the Company’s residential business with the OmniMax business, including cost and revenue synergies. The anticipated benefits and synergies of the Company’s acquisition of OmniMax may not be realized fully or at all, may take longer to realize than expected or could have other adverse effects that the Company does not currently foresee.
Some of the assumptions that the Company has made, such as the achievement of operating synergies, may not be realized. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key Company or OmniMax employees, the loss of customers, the disruption of the Company’s or OmniMax’s ongoing businesses, inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, unexpected integration issues, higher than expected integration costs and an overall post-completion integration process that takes longer than originally anticipated. There could be potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen expenses associated with the acquisition of OmniMax that were not discovered in the course of performing due diligence or that arise from the combination of the businesses. Specifically, the following issues, among others, must be addressed in integrating the operations of OmniMax into the Company to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of OmniMax so the Company performs as expected and realizes its anticipated cost and revenue synergy opportunities:
•combining the existing businesses of the Company with that of OmniMax and meeting the capital requirements of the Company following the acquisition, in a manner that permits the Company to achieve cost savings and revenue synergies anticipated to result from the acquisition, the failure of which would result in the anticipated benefits of the acquisition not being realized in the time frame currently anticipated or at all;
•identifying and eliminating redundant and underperforming functions and assets;
•harmonizing operating practices, employee development and compensation programs, internal controls and other policies, procedures and processes;
•maintaining existing agreements with customers, providers and vendors and avoiding delays in entering into new agreements with prospective customers, providers and vendors;
•addressing possible differences in business backgrounds, corporate cultures and management philosophies;
•consolidating the companies’ administrative and information technology infrastructure;
In addition, at times the attention of members of the Company’s management and resources may be focused on the integration of the OmniMax business and diverted from day-to-day business operations or other opportunities that may have been beneficial to the Company, which may disrupt the Company’s business.
The Company has incurred and will incur significant transaction and integration costs in connection with the acquisition of OmniMax.
The Company has incurred a number of non-recurring costs associated with integrating the operations of OmniMax, as well as transaction fees and other costs related to the acquisition of OmniMax. These costs and expenses include fees paid to financial, legal and accounting advisors, and other related charges.
The Company will continue to incur integration costs as there are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies, facilities and systems that must be integrated. Although the Company expects that the elimination of duplicative costs, strategic benefits, additional income as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses may offset incremental transaction, acquisition-related and integration costs over time, any net benefit may not be achieved in the near term or at all. While the Company
assumed that certain expenses would be incurred in connection with the acquisition of OmniMax, there are many factors beyond the Company’s control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the integration and implementation expenses.
Prior to the acquisition of OmniMax, OmniMax was a privately-held company and its new obligations of being a part of a public company may require significant resources and management attention.
Upon the closing of the acquisition of OmniMax, OmniMax and its subsidiaries became subsidiaries of the Company, and now need to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) and the rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC and other regulatory bodies. As a private company, OmniMax’s internal controls were not designed to be in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley or any other public company requirements. The Company will need to ensure that OmniMax establishes and maintains effective disclosure controls as well as internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and such compliance efforts may be costly and may divert the attention of management. If the Company fails to create and maintain effective internal controls at OmniMax and its subsidiaries after the acquisition, the Company could report material weaknesses in the future, which would indicate that there is a reasonable possibility that the Company’s financial statements do not accurately reflect the Company’s financial condition.
In the course of the due diligence review of OmniMax that the Company conducted prior to the acquisition of OmniMax, the Company may have been unable to quantify undisclosed liabilities of OmniMax and its subsidiaries, if any, and the Company will not be indemnified for any of these liabilities. If OmniMax has undisclosed liabilities, the Company, as a successor owner, will be responsible for such undisclosed liabilities. Such undisclosed liabilities could have an adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company.
Acquisition accounting adjustments could adversely affect the Company’s financial results.
The Company will account for the completion of the acquisition of OmniMax using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company will allocate the total estimated purchase price to net tangible assets, amortizable intangible assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets, and based on their fair values as of the date of completion of the acquisition of OmniMax record the excess, if any, of the purchase price over those fair values as goodwill. Differences between preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.
The Company incurred substantial indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of OmniMax.
The Company incurred substantial indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of OmniMax. As of the closing of the acquisition, on a consolidated basis, the Company had approximately $1.3 billion in gross indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s Credit Agreement including (a) the Term Loan A Facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of $650 million, (b) the Term Loan B Facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of $650 million and (c) the Revolving Credit Facility in an initial aggregate commitment amount of $500 million, with the Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility fully drawn and approximately $482 million remaining available under the Revolving Credit Facility.
•making it more difficult for the Company to satisfy its obligations with respect to its debt;
•requiring the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to the payment of interest and the repayment of the Company’s indebtedness, thereby reducing funds available to it for other purposes;
•limiting the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, business development or other general corporate requirements, including dividends, if and when declared by the board of directors;
•increasing the Company’s vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
•making the Company more highly leveraged than some of its competitors, which may place its at a competitive disadvantage;
•restricting the Company from making strategic acquisitions, engaging in development activities or exploiting business opportunities;
•exposing the Company to the risk of increased interest rates as certain of the Company’s borrowings are and may in the future be at variable rates of interest;
•limiting the Company’s flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in its industry; and
While the Company aims to deleverage its capital structure over the next few years, the methods the Company may pursue and the timing, extent and impact of any actions in furtherance of this goal may vary and evolve and there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its efforts to deleverage.
Servicing the Company’s debt requires a significant amount of cash, and the Company may not have sufficient cash flow from its business to pay its substantial debt.
The Company’s ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on, and to refinance its debt, depends on its future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors. The Company’s business may not continue to generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to satisfy its obligations under its current indebtedness and any future indebtedness the Company may incur and to make necessary capital expenditures. If the Company is unable to generate such cash flow, it may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, refinancing or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. The Company’s ability to refinance its outstanding indebtedness or future indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and its financial condition at such time. The Company may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms when needed, which could result in a default on its indebtedness.
The Company’s debt agreements contain restrictions that limit its flexibility in operating its business.
The Credit Agreement contains, and any other existing or future indebtedness of the Company would likely contain, covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on the Company, including restrictions on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things:
•incur additional debt, guarantee indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;
•pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem, capital stock or make other restricted payments;
•consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets;
As a result of these covenants, the Company is limited in the manner in which it conducts its business, and may be unable to engage in favorable business activities or finance future operations or capital needs.
