    MARKABLES American Reynolds – Historic All-Time High in Brand Acquisitions 14 American Reynolds – Historic All-Time High in Brand Acquisitions White Paper Dr. Christof Binder Schwyz, April 3rd, 2018 Historic All-Time High in Brand Acquisitions Recently, on March 15th, British American Tobacco (BAT) filed their annual report for 2017, including the valuation of the assets purchased with their acquisition of Reyn- olds American on July 25th, 2017. With this report, accounting for brands experienced a historic moment with the reporting of a brand value of US$ 93.6 billion acquired with Reynolds American by BAT. The portfolio of acquired brands includes Newport, Pall Mall, Camel, Natural American Spirits, Grizzly and Kodiak. This is a new all-time high which more than doubles the previous record high of Kraft Foods (2015, US$ 41.3 billion). The brand value embedded the acquisition of Reynolds American is remarkable in three aspects: 1. It is the most valuable brand portfolio ever acquired. What is more, 2. the ratio brand value / brand revenues is amongst the highest ever reported. And 3. the ratio brand value / enterprise value of 89% shows that there were hardly any other assets than brand within this acquisition. The valuation and accounting of brands dates back to the mid-eighties when British and Australian companies like NewsCorp, Reckitt & Coleman, GrandMet and Ranks Hovis McDougall pioneered the valuation, auditing and reporting of some of their brands in their financial statements. According to accounting standards, all acquired brands have to be valued and reported separately since 2000 in the US and since 2004 in most other countries.

  • Sunbeam Corporation: “Chainsaw Al,” Greed, and Recovery
    1 Sunbeam Corporation: “Chainsaw Al,” Greed, and Recovery INTRODUCTION When John Stewart and Thomas Clark founded the Chicago Flexible Shaft Company in Dundee, Illinois, in 1897, they probably never expected that their company would grow into a huge conglomerate and face ethical and financial dilemmas more than 100 years later. Like many corporations, the firm has survived many crises. It has changed its name, acquired rival companies, added new product lines, gone through bankruptcy, restructured, relocated, and hired and fired many CEOs, including “Chainsaw Al” Dunlap. Today, Sunbeam has grown into a well-known brand of consumer products used for cooking, health care, and personal care. MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF CHANGE The first products that Sunbeam manufactured and sold were agricultural tools. In 1910 the company began manufacturing electrical appliances, one of the first being a clothes iron. At that time, Stewart and Clark began using the name Sunbeam in advertising campaigns, although the company did not officially change its name to the Sunbeam Corporation until 1946. Sunbeam’s electric products sold well even during the Great Depression when homemakers throughout the country quickly accepted the Sunbeam Mixmaster, automatic coffee maker, and pop-up toaster. The years following the Great Depression were times of growth and innovation for Sunbeam. The next major development came in 1960 when Sunbeam acquired rival appliance maker John Oster Manufacturing Company, which helped make Sunbeam the leading manufacturer of electric appliances. During the 1980s, a period of relatively high inflation and interest rates, corporations were going through acquisitions, mergers, restructurings, and closings—doing whatever they could to continue operating profitably.
