§ Perella Weinberg Partners have prepared a preliminary valuation analysis of Osaka and a preliminary value range
recommendation for communication to Osaka
– We believe the objective of this initial communication should be to ensure Osaka will engage into discussions while (i)
providing a value range consistent with the company’s performance and industry valuation metrics and (ii) retaining
flexibility with regards to valuation (notably to incorporate due diligence findings)
§ Our valuation analysis is solely based on Osaka’s 2009 performance and 2010-2014 forecasts excluding acquisitions, as
provided by Osaka management
– Moderate top line growth
• 2009-2014 revenue CAGR of 8.1%, driven in part by 2010 - thereafter growth around 5-7%
– Significant margin improvement: 18.6% to 20.8% EBITDA margin from 2009 to 2014
• Significant expansion of gross margin in 2010 a key driver (from 53.7% to 55.4%)
– Top line growth and margin improvement in 2010 will require thorough investigation during due diligence
§ Valuation approach
– Valuation must factor in significant uncertainty around the Definity® business, a material contract between Osaka and
Essilor in the US market meant to expire in 2010
• Contract represents c. US$8m in annual sales for Osaka, at a gross margin estimated at a minimum of 60% (EBITDA
contribution of c. US$5m)
– DCF is used to derive intrinsic value of the business, but significant discount required given (i) execution risks associated
with high growth in cash flows, and (ii) absence of control
– Comparable company analysis and precedent transactions provide consistent benchmark to calibrate the DCF approach
• 2009 EBITDA multiple of 9.0-10.0x supported by both comparables and precedent transactions
• 2010 EBITDA multiple of 8.0-9.0x supported by both comparables and precedent transactions
– Current share price does not constitute a reliable valuation benchmark
• Limited free float, lack of analyst coverage and share price underperformance have resulted in very limited trading
volumes
