CIBC, Toronto, Canada| Project Business Analyst Mar 2014 – May 2023
Merger & Acquisition Project of CIBC with PC Financial
CIBC's merger with President's Choice Financial (PC Financial) banking services resulted in the creation of Simplii Financial, a direct banking brand launched in 2017. The merger enabled CIBC to streamline its direct banking offerings, providing customers with no-fee banking, competitive interest rates, and various online, mobile, and telephone banking services under the Simplii Financial brand.
KEY ROLE:
Objective: Complete the acquisition of a target company to expand market share and capabilities.
Task: My task was to prepare the financial model to streamline the function of successful acquisition as worked closely with functional consultants, operation Managers and collaborate with the cross functional team members to understand and prepare the business manifest according to the Stakeholders requirements.
This phase involves building the actual financial model, including forecasting and conducting scenario analysis by closely involving the internal and external stakeholders.
- Financial Forecasting: Use historical data to project the future performance of both companies over 5-10 years. Create pro forma income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements for both companies pre- and post-merger.
- Synergy Realization: Integrate cost synergies, like reducing redundant functions, and revenue synergies, such as cross-selling or gaining market share. Also, account for integration costs and one-time expenses.
- Financing the Deal: Model the capital structure by incorporating any debt or equity raised for the transaction. Assess the impact of the new debt on debt-to-equity ratios and the company’s ability to manage its interest obligations.
- Scenario Analysis: Perform sensitivity analysis by altering key variables such as revenue growth, cost savings, and interest rates. Develop multiple scenarios (best, base, and worst case) to evaluate the financial impact under different circumstances.
- Coordination with External Auditors: Throughout the M&A process, my team worked closely with external auditors to ensure that SOX requirements are met. Auditors will need access to financial data, internal controls documentation, and risk assessments for both the acquiring and target companies. Post-acquisition audits will focus on the integration of financial reporting systems, the effectiveness of internal controls, and the accuracy of financial statements. Any issues identified by auditors must be addressed promptly to avoid non-compliance.
Achievements:
Successful Acquisition: Finalized the acquisition of Simpli Financials (Former Name was President’s Choice) increasing market share by 15%.
Synergy Realization: Achieved $1.5 million in cost synergies within the first 6 months through combined operations and shared resources.
Revenue Growth: Boosted annual revenue by $5 million because of expanded product offerings and customer base.
Integration Success: Completed the integration process 3 months ahead of schedule, with minimal disruption to operations.
