ABSTRACT
Mergers and Acquisitions continue to enjoy importance as strategies for achieving
growth. In today’s globalized economy, mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are being
increasingly used in the world over, for improving competitiveness of companies through
gaining greater market share, broadening the portfolio to reduce business risk, for entering
new markets and geographies and capitalizing on economies of scale etc. The aim of this
paper is to study the impact of mergers and acquisitions on the financial performance of the
acquiring firm during the pre-and post-merger period specifically in the areas of profitability,
leverage, liquidity and managerial efficiency of the company. Paired sample t-test has been
performed to determine the significance difference in the financial performance of the
acquiring firm. The finding of this study shows that there is no improvement in the financial
performance of the firm due to acquisitions.
INTRODUCTION
The forces of liberalization and globalization that swept the Indian economy in the
post-reforms era compelled the corporate to restructure their businesses by adopting various
strategies like merger, amalgamations and takeover. The process of restructuring through
mergers and acquisitions has been a regular feature in the developed and free nations like US,
Japan etc. In India also, the concept has now caught like fire with number of mergers
increasing in inbound and outbound deals. In the post-financial crisis period (2008), the
volume of M&A transactions in India has apparently increased to about 27.2 billion in USD
in 2010 from 21.3 billion USD in 2009. Today, Indian corporate is making high profile
acquisitions in developed markets for establishing their brands. In terms of the growth rate in

mergers and acquisitions deals, India occupies the second position in the world. India’s
growth curve is ascendant. Pharmaceutical, Information Technology, Automotive component
and Textile companies are on an acquisition binge in Europe sparking speculation that India
is getting aggressive in craving out their presence in Europe.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Extensive research is available in context to M&A, for the purpose of this study a
brief review of few studies has been taken in understand the areas of merger, their impact on
the financial performance of acquirer and target companies and the research problem is
formulated for further investigation in this area.
S. Vanitha 2007 compare the financial performance of the pre and post mergers of the
firms which have undergone mergers and acquisitions in the period 2001-2002, 58
manufacturing firms was taken as total population and 17 companies were taken as sample
size. Financial performance of the firm is evaluated using Liquidity, Solvency and
Profitability ratios, to find out the business expansion of the firm’s Capital Formation and
Investment are used. The finding report that there was good indication of the quick ratios
show improvement in post merger period. Net worth, Capital formation, ROI showed
improved performance in post merger period. The conclusion emerging from the point of
view of financial evaluation is that the merging companies were taken over by companies
with reputed and good management.
Fulbag Singh 2008, studies the impact of mergers on corporate performance in India
in a sample of 56 companies merged between 1994 and 2002 the companies listed on
Bombay Stock Exchange. The motives behind the merger deals and the sources of
profitability of merger deals are investigated in the study. Accounting based performance is
measured using three categories 1. Profitability2. leverage and 3.Liquidity. Results show that
profitability declines significantly after the merger. Current ratio, debt equity ratio and size
show a negative impact on profitability measure .Interest coverage ratio contributes positively
towards profitability. Thus the results highlights that the firms could not improve their
improvement even after five years and decline is observed in matching firms also. The firms
would improve their performance in passage of time when the size of the firm increases.
SabooSidharath and Gopi, Sunil 2009examines the performance of Indian companies
that have undergone through mergers in India and Abroad. The analysis verified their impact
on the operating performance of merging companies and analyzed their valuation in
domestic, cross broader acquisitions. The sample consists of 54 firms engage in mergers in
the period 2000 to 2007. The results of the average one year pre and post merger and two
year pre and post mergers have shown the improvement positively and the impact on cross
border and domestic acquisitions was different. Thus the study confirm about the positive
impact on the financial performance and the type of acquisitions play important role in the
mergers.
Indumathi 2011 identifies the wealth enhancement with respect to mergers, which
help in assuring the success of mergers. The liquidity position determines the company
financial position and whether able to run the business smoothly. The study examines the
liquidity position of both acquirer and target companies in pre and post merger period. The
sample consists of 93 companies which underwent merger during the period 01.04.2002 to
31.3.2005. The sample size was confined to 13. To measure the liquidity performance of 13
firms, current ratio, quick ratio, net working capital and ‘t’ test was used. The results

conclude that the share holders of the acquirer companies partly increased their wealth in turn
increased the returns on investments after the merger event. Thus findings conclude the
acquirer companies always benefit than the target companies in the merger event.
Empirical studies byVanitha, Selvam and Indhumathi provide evidence on the
positive impact of mergers on the financial performance of the firm. However the study by
Fulbag Singh shows the adverse effect of mergers on the performance of the merger. These
conflicting results make the effect of mergers and acquisitions as a business strategy
inconclusive. Therefore, the study is required to answer the M&As effects on the
performance of the firm and their impact on the across sector in Indian industries.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Companies’ use the M&As strategy not only to expand their business but also to get
benefits such as cost saving, technology up gradation, capturing market across boundaries.
Indian organization are moving forward to achieve global status through M&As. This effect
is spread to almost all sector in India namely Information Technology, Pharmaceutical
industry, Construction, Textile industry etc. However, most of the empirical studies have
deeply concentrated on the analysis of financial performance of both acquirer and target firm
in the pre- and post -merger period. There has been no comprehensive analysis attempted to
analyze on the impact of M&As on the financial performance of different industries in India.
Hence, in order to fill this gap in research, the present study attempts to analyze the financial
performance ratio of acquiring firm of different industries in pre- and post-merger period.
NEED FOR THE STUDY
The mergers and acquisitions is a critical endeavor for the firms using it both as a part
of a strategy for growth or survival, for such critical processes, performance measures must
be used and the management must be in the position to react and take necessary steps for
achieving the end results of the acquisitions. Therefore, there is a need to study the impact of
the mergers and acquisitions on the financial performance of the firm, which would be
helpful for accessing the success of the mergers. Many studies have been conducted to
analyze the acquiring and target companies in pre - and post- merger periods from the share
holders’ and firm point of view. It is equally important to analyze from the view point of
acquiring firms on the financial performance in different industry in India, to see if there are
variations in the impact, for different industries.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The following are the objectives of the study.
To evaluate the pre- merger and post-merger financial performance of the acquirer companies
pertaining to different industries in India.
HYPOTHESIS OF THE STUDY
To test the objectives mentioned above, the following hypotheses were formulated:
1. Ho: There is no significant difference between the financial performance of the
acquiring firm after the merger
2. Ha: There is a significant difference in the financial performance of the acquiring
firm after the merger

April 2009 to 31st
March 2010.
In order to evaluate the financial performance of sample companies on a comparative basis,
three years before merger and three years after merger were considered.
Sources of Data
The present study depends on secondary data. The required data on financial
performance before and after the merger were collected for the sample period. The data for
each of the sample company were obtained from Capitaline, bse-india.com and
moneycontrol.com. The additional data were also collected from the books, articles in various
journals, magazines and newspaper.
Tools Used
The present study attempts to measure and analyze the pre- and post-merger
performance of acquiring firm in industries wise by using profitability ratios, liquidity ratios,
solvency ratio and managerial efficiency ratio. In order to analyze the financial performance
of the acquiring firm in industries wise, the paired sample t-test is employed on the selected
key financial ratios.
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF ACQUIRING FIRMS IN
DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES
The pre-merger and post-merger period on the financial performance of the firm were
carried out with the help of financial ratios, the averages were computed for the entire set of
sample firms, which have gone through mergers in the period 2009-2010. The average ratios
for each of the industry sub-samples were also computed. Average pre-merger and post-
merger financial performance ratios were compared to see if there any improvement in the
financial performance due to acquisitions, using “paired sample t-test” at 95% confidence
level.
1. Cement and Construction
The results indicate that the profitability ratios of the acquisition firm in the cement
industries shows mixed results, the earning per share shows a marginal increase in the
post-merger period, whereas the return on capital employed showed decrease in the post-
merger period from (0.1841 to 0.0935). The liquidity ratio i.e. current ratio there has been
increase in the post-merger period (1.847 to 2.1). The long term solvency ratio – Debt-
equity ratio, there is no significant changes due to the merger, the interest coverage ratio
shows decline in post-merger period (26.00 to 9.72) and the decline is not statistically
significant. The managerial efficiency ratio is determined by inventory turnover ratio also
shows decline in post-merger period.
The results from the Table-2 of the cement industries suggest that though there was
marginal increase in the mean value of EPS& Current ratio, the changes was not
statistically significant.

10. Pharmaceuticals and Health care
The number of companies is four in these industries. The results show that there were
significant differences observed in debt-equity ratio with marginal increase in the mean
value in the post-merger period. The increase in the post-merger period value is also seen
in interest coverage ratio. The other ratio like profitability, liquidity ratio and the
managerial efficiency ratio observed declined in the post-merger period.
The results from the pharmaceuticals industries as shown in the Table -11 indicates
that no significant difference is observed due to merger in the post-merger period, except
the debt-equity ratio there was significant increase in the value after merger.

ANALYSIS OF ALL MERGERS IN THE SAMPLE
The comparison of the pre-merger and post-merger financial performance ratios for
the entire sample set of acquiring firms from the Table -12 shows that there was no
significant improvement due to mergers. The mean value of return on capital employed,
current ratio, interest coverage ratio and inventory turnover ratio shows marginal increase in
the mean values and ‘t’ test confirms the non-significance. The decrease in the mean values is
observed in the earning per share and debt- equity ratio and not statistically significant.

CONCLUSION
This study was undertaken to test whether the industry type has an impact on the
mergers of the acquiring firm in terms of the financial performance ratios like profitability,
liquidity, solvency and managerial efficiency ratios. The results from the analysis of the
financial ratio of the acquiring firm in the sample shows that there was no significant impact
on different industries due to mergers. Type of industries in merger does not make any
difference in the performance of the acquiring firm.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The study has not undertaken the target group for analysis and the study is restricted
to the type of the industries and further research in this area could be extended on the firm
level and from share-holder point of view. Another limitation of the study is the study period
and the sample size of merger in each industry is too small, which might bring in question of
validity of results and these areas are extended for further research.

  • 1. International Journal of Management Research and Development (IJMRD) ISSN 2248- 938X (Print), ISSN 2248-9398 (Online) Volume 3, Number 2, April - May (2013) 113 IMPACT OF MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS ACROSS INDUSTRIES IN INDIA Dr. (Mrs.) S.POORNIMA, MBA., MPhil.,PhD., FDP (IIM-A) Associate Professor, Department of Business Management PSGR Krishnammal College for Women (Autonomous) Coimbatore - 641 004 S.SUBHASHINI Assistant Professor Sasi Creative School of Business Coimbatore ABSTRACT Mergers and Acquisitions continue to enjoy importance as strategies for achieving growth. In today’s globalized economy, mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are being increasingly used in the world over, for improving competitiveness of companies through gaining greater market share, broadening the portfolio to reduce business risk, for entering new markets and geographies and capitalizing on economies of scale etc. The aim of this paper is to study the impact of mergers and acquisitions on the financial performance of the acquiring firm during the pre-and post-merger period specifically in the areas of profitability, leverage, liquidity and managerial efficiency of the company. Paired sample t-test has been performed to determine the significance difference in the financial performance of the acquiring firm. The finding of this study shows that there is no improvement in the financial performance of the firm due to acquisitions. INTRODUCTION The forces of liberalization and globalization that swept the Indian economy in the post-reforms era compelled the corporate to restructure their businesses by adopting various strategies like merger, amalgamations and takeover. The process of restructuring through mergers and acquisitions has been a regular feature in the developed and free nations like US, Japan etc. In India also, the concept has now caught like fire with number of mergers increasing in inbound and outbound deals. In the post-financial crisis period (2008), the volume of M&A transactions in India has apparently increased to about 27.2 billion in USD in 2010 from 21.3 billion USD in 2009. Today, Indian corporate is making high profile acquisitions in developed markets for establishing their brands.

  • 2. International Journal of Management Research and Development (IJMRD) ISSN 2248- 938X (Print), ISSN 2248-9398 (Online) Volume 3, Number 2, April - May (2013) 114 mergers and acquisitions deals, India occupies the second position in the world. India’s growth curve is ascendant. Pharmaceutical, Information Technology, Automotive component and Textile companies are on an acquisition binge in Europe sparking speculation that India is getting aggressive in craving out their presence in Europe. LITERATURE REVIEW Extensive research is available in context to M&A, for the purpose of this study a brief review of few studies has been taken in understand the areas of merger, their impact on the financial performance of acquirer and target companies and the research problem is formulated for further investigation in this area. S. Vanitha 2007 compare the financial performance of the pre and post mergers of the firms which have undergone mergers and acquisitions in the period 2001-2002, 58 manufacturing firms was taken as total population and 17 companies were taken as sample size. Financial performance of the firm is evaluated using Liquidity, Solvency and Profitability ratios, to find out the business expansion of the firm’s Capital Formation and Investment are used. The finding report that there was good indication of the quick ratios show improvement in post merger period. Net worth, Capital formation, ROI showed improved performance in post merger period. The conclusion emerging from the point of view of financial evaluation is that the merging companies were taken over by companies with reputed and good management. Fulbag Singh 2008, studies the impact of mergers on corporate performance in India in a sample of 56 companies merged between 1994 and 2002 the companies listed on Bombay Stock Exchange. The motives behind the merger deals and the sources of profitability of merger deals are investigated in the study. Accounting based performance is measured using three categories 1. Profitability2. leverage and 3.Liquidity. Results show that profitability declines significantly after the merger. Current ratio, debt equity ratio and size show a negative impact on profitability measure .Interest coverage ratio contributes positively towards profitability. Thus the results highlights that the firms could not improve their improvement even after five years and decline is observed in matching firms also. The firms would improve their performance in passage of time when the size of the firm increases. SabooSidharath and Gopi, Sunil 2009examines the performance of Indian companies that have undergone through mergers in India and Abroad. The analysis verified their impact on the operating performance of merging companies and analyzed their valuation in domestic, cross broader acquisitions. The sample consists of 54 firms engage in mergers in the period 2000 to 2007. The results of the average one year pre and post merger and two year pre and post mergers have shown the improvement positively and the impact on cross border and domestic acquisitions was different. Thus the study confirm about the positive impact on the financial performance and the type of acquisitions play important role in the mergers. Indumathi 2011 identifies the wealth enhancement with respect to mergers, which help in assuring the success of mergers. The liquidity position determines the company financial position and whether able to run the business smoothly. The study examines the liquidity position of both acquirer and target companies in pre and post merger period. The sample consists of 93 companies which underwent merger during the period 01.04.2002 to 31.3.2005. The sample size was confined to 13. To measure the liquidity performance of 13 firms, current ratio, quick ratio, net working capital and ‘t’ test was used. The results
  • 3. International Journal of Management Research and Development (IJMRD) ISSN 2248- 938X (Print), ISSN 2248-9398 (Online) Volume 3, Number 2, April - May (2013) 115 conclude that the share holders of the acquirer companies partly increased their wealth in turn increased the returns on investments after the merger event. Thus findings conclude the acquirer companies always benefit than the target companies in the merger event. Empirical studies byVanitha, Selvam and Indhumathi provide evidence on the positive impact of mergers on the financial performance of the firm. However the study by Fulbag Singh shows the adverse effect of mergers on the performance of the merger. These conflicting results make the effect of mergers and acquisitions as a business strategy inconclusive. Therefore, the study is required to answer the M&As effects on the performance of the firm and their impact on the across sector in Indian industries. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Companies’ use the M&As strategy not only to expand their business but also to get benefits such as cost saving, technology up gradation, capturing market across boundaries. Indian organization are moving forward to achieve global status through M&As. This effect is spread to almost all sector in India namely Information Technology, Pharmaceutical industry, Construction, Textile industry etc. However, most of the empirical studies have deeply concentrated on the analysis of financial performance of both acquirer and target firm in the pre- and post -merger period. There has been no comprehensive analysis attempted to analyze on the impact of M&As on the financial performance of different industries in India. Hence, in order to fill this gap in research, the present study attempts to analyze the financial performance ratio of acquiring firm of different industries in pre- and post-merger period. NEED FOR THE STUDY The mergers and acquisitions is a critical endeavor for the firms using it both as a part of a strategy for growth or survival, for such critical processes, performance measures must be used and the management must be in the position to react and take necessary steps for achieving the end results of the acquisitions. Therefore, there is a need to study the impact of the mergers and acquisitions on the financial performance of the firm, which would be helpful for accessing the success of the mergers. Many studies have been conducted to analyze the acquiring and target companies in pre - and post- merger periods from the share holders’ and firm point of view. It is equally important to analyze from the view point of acquiring firms on the financial performance in different industry in India, to see if there are variations in the impact, for different industries. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The following are the objectives of the study. To evaluate the pre- merger and post-merger financial performance of the acquirer companies pertaining to different industries in India. HYPOTHESIS OF THE STUDY To test the objectives mentioned above, the following hypotheses were formulated: 1. Ho: There is no significant difference between the financial performance of the acquiring firm after the merger 2. Ha: There is a significant difference in the financial performance of the acquiring firm after the merger

The results from the finance industries conclude that there was marginal increase in the liquidity and solvency ratios, but the profitability and the efficiency ratios shows decline in the mean value. The ‘t’ test results confirm that there was no statistical difference due to merger in the finance industries.

Oil and Refineries The number of companies covered in these industries is four. The results observed from the Table-10 are mixed. There was decrease in the mean value in the EPS from (53.93 to 41.67) and in return on capital employed in the mean value (0.16 to 0.08), interest coverage ratio the decline is from (14.30 to 5.64) and in inventory turnover ratio mean value from (12.15 to 4.83). The increase in the mean value of post-merger period is seen in the current ratio and debt-equity ratio. The results from the oil and refineries provide no significant difference in the post- merger period.

Pharmaceuticals and Health care The number of companies is four in these industries. The results show that there were significant differences observed in debt-equity ratio with marginal increase in the mean value in the post-merger period. The increase in the post-merger period value is also seen in interest coverage ratio. The other ratio like profitability, liquidity ratio and the managerial efficiency ratio observed declined in the post-merger period. The results from the pharmaceuticals industries as shown in the Table -11 indicates that no significant difference is observed due to merger in the post-merger period, except the debt-equity ratio there was significant increase in the value after merger.

The mean value of return on capital employed, current ratio, interest coverage ratio and inventory turnover ratio shows marginal increase in the mean values and ‘t’ test confirms the non-significance. The decrease in the mean values is observed in the earning per share and debt- equity ratio and not statistically significant.

International Journal of Management Research and Development (IJMRD) ISSN 2248- 938X (Print), ISSN 2248-9398 (Online) Volume 3, Number 2, April - May (2013) 125 CONCLUSION This study was undertaken to test whether the industry type has an impact on the mergers of the acquiring firm in terms of the financial performance ratios like profitability, liquidity, solvency and managerial efficiency ratios. The results from the analysis of the financial ratio of the acquiring firm in the sample shows that there was no significant impact on different industries due to mergers. Type of industries in merger does not make any difference in the performance of the acquiring firm. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY The study has not undertaken the target group for analysis and the study is restricted to the type of the industries and further research in this area could be extended on the firm level and from share-holder point of view. Another limitation of the study is the study period and the sample size of merger in each industry is too small, which might bring in question of validity of results and these areas are extended for further research.
