1 Repurchase Obligations Valuation and Financing Issues September 14, 2016 September 14, 2016 Isaiah Aguilar Director Stout Risius Ross Eric S. Zaiman Executive Director J.P. Morgan Joe Marx Vice President-Consulting Principal Financial Group Michael Borinski Chief Financial Officer Bradford White Water Heaters
2 2 Topics Introduction Mechanics and Tactics Strategy Development Importance of Monitoring Repurchase Obligations Tools Case Study Q&A
3 3
4 4 Introduction Companies that sponsor ESOPs must provide eligible participants with a put option on shares held by the ESOP, giving participants the right to have the company buy back their shares at fair market value IRC 409(h)(1)(b) if the employer securities are not readily tradable on an established market, participant has a right to require that the employer repurchase employer securities under a fair valuation formula The obligation to buy back shares is the repurchase obligation and it can be a significant claim on cash flow for 100% or majority-owned ESOP companies Overwhelming repurchase obligation can be a driver of the sale of ESOP owned companies and the termination of their ESOPs
5 5
6 6 Share Repurchase Mechanics When are shares repurchased - Distribution policy Delay vs. immediate Up to six year wait for start of repurchases from terminated employees Up to one year wait for start of repurchases from death, disability and retirement Lump-sum vs. installments Up to five years for all participants, with longer periods for larger account balances Segregation/reshuffling Immediate exchange of shares for cash, same impact as lump sum
7 7 Comparison of Redeem vs. Recycle and Redeem vs. Releverage Redeem Recycle Releverage Shares outstanding Reduced No impact No impact(*) ESOP Ownership Reduced if < 100% No impact No impact Additional shares to Employee ESOP accounts No Yes Yes, over time Per share value Anti-dilution Diluted Diluted Employer contribution No Yes and dividends/s distribution Yes and dividends/s distribution Employee group benefited most EEs with larger share balances Depends upon funding Contribution (EEs) Dividends (Participants) Contribution (EEs) Corporation s cash flow Reduce Not Reduced if =Benefit Expense Not reduced if =Benefit Expense Income tax No deduction Deduction for employer contribution Deduction for employer contribution * Assumes after redemption by the company all shares are sold to ESOP * Is a new securities acquisition loan needs an adequate consideration opinion at time of transaction
8 8 Valuation Implications Share redemptions impact on valuation: Redemptions are not an expense and do not affect operating cash flow; but they do reduce overall cash Enterprise value remains the same, equity value is lowered but share price remains unchanged because # shares are reduced in proportion Share recycling impact on valuation: Contributions are an expense & reduce operating cash flow; results in reduced enterprise value unless otherwise offset Dividends are not an expense and do not affect operating cash flow; but they do reduce overall cash. Enterprise value remains the same, equity value is lowered Benefits vs. Return on Capital
9 9 Valuation Implications - Indirect Impacts Adjustments to Value Multiple selection / discount rate Estimate present value of excess retirement benefits Marketability discount Significant repurchase obligations can limit cash available to: Finance business operations and reinvest in capital expenditures and other growth opportunities Results in lower growth and lower enterprise value Build balance sheet cash balances or repay debt Lower cash and higher debt results in lower equity value
10 Financial Statement Impacts of Funding Strategies 10
11 11
12 12 Goals of Managing Repurchase Obligation Minimize the competition for cash flow and capital between repurchase obligation and reinvestment in the business while balancing between multiple objectives Provide ongoing retirement benefits to employees Fund repurchase obligations Ensure sufficient capital generation to provide for required reinvestments and pursue growth opportunities
13 13 ESOP Benefit Level Defined Cash going into plan Contributions Reallocation of forfeitures Dividends and S distributions on suspense shares Value allocated to participants Value of shares released Value of shares recycled Forfeitures Contributions not used for ESOP loans or repurchase Appreciation in share value and dividends and S distributions on allocated shares Really return on equity
14 14 What Contribution Level/Benefit Cost is Appropriate? What is normal benefit level? Industry and geographic norms Competitors and other ESOP companies What is desired benefit level? Corporate culture Employee expectations Desired incentive/motivation What is the entire benefit cost? ESOP debt service Wages All qualified plans Non-qualified deferred compensation
15 15 Managing Benefit Levels What drives the level of benefit in the ESOP? Newer ESOPs Loan amortization/share release Mature ESOPs Repurchase obligation, distribution policy and share repurchase strategy Key questions to address in managing benefit levels Is the benefit level sustainable/can the company remain competitive? Could contributions be better used for future operational or capital needs? What is the impact on valuation? Who decides the level of benefit? Management/Board of Directors Actively/Proactive? or Passively/Reactive to current repurchase obligation? Proper analysis and planning gives management more control
16 16
17 17 Importance of Monitoring Repurchase Obligations Let s revisit the goals of managing repurchase obligation Minimize the competition for cash flow and capital between repurchase obligation and reinvestment in the business while balancing between multiple objectives Provide ongoing retirement benefits to employees Fund repurchase obligations Ensure sufficient capital generation to provide for required reinvestments and pursue growth opportunities
18 18 Impact of High Repurchase Obligation Is the projected repurchase obligation sustainable? Can the company remain competitive? Could contributions for repurchase obligation be better used for future operational or capital needs? What is the impact on valuation?
19 19 Repurchase Obligation Impact on Valuation Repurchase obligation studies should be performed on a regular basis. Compare projected repurchases and contributions with a normal benefit level How does the retirement benefit that the Company provides its employees compare to market levels?
20 20 How does Actual Compare to Projections Compare financial projections to actual results Re-evaluate cash flow assumptions Re-evaluate repurchase obligation study assumptions Monitor funding projections compared to results Review corporate strategic plans Understand the roles and responsibilities of board, trustee and senior management in repurchase strategy and process ESOP benefit levels and benefit delivery should be reassessed periodically
21 21
22 22 Projection Tools/Software Use consultant to run studies Utilize available software to run study with guidance/review by consultant Internally developed models
23 23 Assumptions in Typical Study Actuarial analysis - how many shares to be repurchased Employee demographics Salary/Workforce size Age/Compensation of new employees Distribution policies Turnover and on-site risks of death or disability Actuarial tables included in commercial software Future share price critical to analysis Distribution policy Diversification
24 24 Analysis and Strategy Use results to assess cash needs and determine impact on availability of cash and capital to finance reinvestment requirements Strategic development mix and match methods Contributions set benefit levels Redemptions and dividends Dividends reduce share price without value dilution and provide cash for repurchases Re-leveraging have ESOP buy back shares with borrowed funds Buys back large block at one time reduces near term repurchase need Dilutive impact to share price, depending upon benefit levels
25 25 Analyzing the Results/Implement Strategy Do the results look reasonable based upon past history and the employee census? Test strategies and assess impact Determine benefits / drawbacks of each (if any) Assess impact on valuation and financing needs Do we want to change assumptions or other factors involved? Drawing conclusions from the study Strategic planning for future
26 26 Lender s Perspective Repurchase obligation can be a big cash flow variable Potential to adversely impact ability to repay term debt or absorb too much working capital financing capacity Analysis helps put parameters around near term costs to company Multiple repurchase study scenarios can be run to demonstrate Best case vs. worst case Efficacy of long term strategy to achieve sustainability and moderate funding risks Things lenders look at: Cash flow cushion impact repurchase obligation fluctuation has on cushion Valuation multiple to cash flow higher multiples can make it more difficult to fund repurchase obligation and reinvestment needs out of cash flow

28 28 Case Study Bradford White Created in July 1992 now 24 Years Old! Initial employees = 604, ESOP = 134 (non-union) 2016 Total = 1,541, ESOP = 210 (no subs either) Became an S Corp owned by an ESOP in 1998 BWC Sales and Earnings have grown significantly over 1992 levels A successful company makes a successful ESOP.

30 30 Case Study Bradford White Early 2010 s Solution: Significant Increase in Borrowing Capacity Continued Successful Operations Releveraged ESOP / 409(p) Concerns Post-2015 Situation: Current Borrowing Capacity should be sufficient Staged Departures / Smoothing of Liability In-house Model periodically refreshed to Monitor
