This merger is beneficial or not?
Uber’s attempt to buy Deliveroo has stalled because the two sides are “miles apart” on a valuation for the food delivery service. There are always many problems occurred both in early and later merger period.
Uber’s offer had priced Deliveroo at less than the $2bn valuation it achieved in a fund-raising round last year. As far as I know, the ride-hailing app is keen to buy or invest in Deliveroo, one of the UK’s biggest tech success stories, but a recent offer for the company valued it at less than $2bn while Deliveroo has pegged its value at $4bn, there is an obvious difference in valuation. Although Uber cannot meet Deliveroo's requirement, Deliveroo considers this merger seriously. The ‘mile part’ likes some toughs that would be met in the early period of a merger. If Uber wants to merger Deliveroo sincerely, it needs to do many preparations for many aspects, like company cultural, employer’s opportunity and so on.
Although Uber wants to merger Deliveroo, another evidence seems to show that the start-up (Deliveroo) is currently attempting to raise $400m at a valuation of $4bn. In other words, it indicates that Deliveroo is looking for investors instead of a merger. Deliveroo’s main investors, which include Fidelity and T Rowe Price, are seeking an investment or partnership as well rather than a full sale. Therefore, it is possible that Uber cannot achiever a merger, but it can invest it and has a chance become its partner. In my opinion, if Deliveroo decides to be merged on its own, it may damage the interests of investors to some extent. Hostile when offering made without the approval of the board, and it would not be a friendly contract.
As we all know, Uber is a popular Car rental service company in the USA. Deliveroo is the most popular food deliver platform. As I have learned before, this event that Uber attempts to buy Deliveroo sounds like a Vertical Transnational merger. According to the knowledge that I have learned, Vertical mergers features are Combinations between firms at different stages--Uber is car rental service company, Deliveroo is in food delivery area. Goal is information and transaction efficiency and Possible “market power” advantages through combination However, after doing some research, Uber provide Uber eats as its new business, so in this aspect, it more likely Horizontal mergers rather than Vertical mergers. Also, Horizontal mergers have many features: the first one is economies of scale and scope, for Uber eats, it has not developed very well in Europe, it would use the customers, reputation material sources to open its market. The second factor is Synergies (ex. combining of best practices) Between firms in same business activity, both of Uber eats and Deliveroo develop food delivery. The synergy can be showed in this aspect, if the merger can success, the two companies together are worth more than the value of the firm apart. The combined entity will have a value greater than the sum of its parts: PVAB = PVA + PVB + gains. The third factor is government regulation due to potential anticompetitive effects. In materials, we can know government play important roles in market competitions. Any acquisition of Deliveroo by Uber may also be complicated by competition concerns. The UK’s competition watchdog previously investigated Just Eat’s £200m purchase of Hungryhouse, the UK arm of Delivery Hero.
Honestly, in my view, if this merger gets successful, as I just mentioned that the Centre development of Uber is America, although it has Uber eats. However, the situation gets different, Deliveroo is one of Europe’s best-funded start-ups and has ploughed millions of dollars into differentiating itself from rivals, including by building industrial kitchens for restaurants to use as hubs for orders. For Uber, it is a good chance to open and develop the European market, and Deliveroo offers great opportunity and platform to Uber, which has emerged as a bright spot for food delivery. Also, Uber Eats launched similar “virtual kitchens” over a year ago, which encourage restaurants to use extra space to cook food from other menus for delivery. However, Deliveroo does not operate in the US and would offer Uber a chance to expand its business in Europe, which has emerged as a bright spot for food delivery. So, every company needs to consider if it is a great decision to get a merger.
Eventually, will Uber get successful to buy Deliveroo, I think both need to consider it more seriously, especially for Deliveroo.
