  • M&A @ Facebook: Strategy, Themes and Drivers
    A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Master Degree in Finance from NOVA – School of Business and Economics M&A @ FACEBOOK: STRATEGY, THEMES AND DRIVERS TOMÁS BRANCO GONÇALVES STUDENT NUMBER 3200 A Project carried out on the Masters in Finance Program, under the supervision of: Professor Pedro Carvalho January 2018 Abstract Most deals are motivated by the recognition of a strategic threat or opportunity in the firm’s competitive arena. These deals seek to improve the firm’s competitive position or even obtain resources and new capabilities that are vital to future prosperity, and improve the firm’s agility. The purpose of this work project is to make an analysis on Facebook’s acquisitions’ strategy going through the key acquisitions in the company’s history. More than understanding the economics of its most relevant acquisitions, the main research is aimed at understanding the strategic view and key drivers behind them, and trying to set a pattern through hypotheses testing, always bearing in mind the following question: Why does Facebook acquire emerging companies instead of replicating their key success factors? Keywords Facebook; Acquisitions; Strategy; M&A Drivers “The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that is changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.” Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook 2 Literature Review M&A activity has had peaks throughout the course of history and different key industry-related drivers triggered that same activity (Sudarsanam, 2003). Historically, the appearance of the first mergers and acquisitions coincides with the existence of the first companies and, since then, in the US market, there have been five major waves of M&A activity (as summarized by T.J.A.

    Press Office Kaiser-Friedrich-Str. 16 53113 Bonn Press release Phone: +49 228 9499-215/214 Fax: +49 228 9499-143 www.bundeskartellamt.de 10 December 2020 Bundeskartellamt / Facebook Bundeskartellamt examines linkage between Oculus and the Facebook network Bonn, 10 December 2020: The Bundeskartellamt has today initiated abuse proceedings against Facebook to examine the linkage between Oculus virtual reality products and the social network and Facebook platform. Andreas Mundt, President of the Bundeskartellamt: “In the future, the use of the new Oculus glasses requires the user to also have a Facebook account. Linking virtual reality products and the group’s social network in this way could constitute a prohibited abuse of dominance by Facebook. With its social network Facebook holds a dominant position in Germany and is also already an important player in the emerging but growing VR (virtual reality) market. We intend to examine whether and to what extent this tying arrangement will affect competition in both areas of activity.” Facebook has begun to integrate its virtual reality activities into the social network Facebook.com. The Oculus platform, which has previously been operated separately from Facebook.com, will be offered as an additional function on Facebook's social network, under the name “Facebook Reality Labs”. The use of the latest "Quest 2" VR glasses, will require registration using a Facebook.com account. Existing Oculus accounts can no longer be used for registration and the new hardware. Distribution of the new VR glasses outside Germany has already begun. The aim of virtual reality products is to create a virtual world for the user to experience while using digital content.

  • Facebook Report 2021
    Facebook Report 2021 22 January 2021 FACEBOOK FACEBOOK COMPANY OVERVIEW Facebook Inc. develops products that enable people to connect and share with friends and family members. The company’s products include Facebook that enables people to connect, share, discover, and communicate with each other on mobile devices and personal computers; Instagram, a community for sharing photos, videos, and private messages; Messenger, a messaging application for people to connect with friends, family, groups, and businesses across platforms and devices; and WhatsApp, a messaging application that is used by people and businesses to communicate in a private way. The digital ad industry is expected to have strong revenue growth in the next decade. However, due to the COVID-19, it has been negatively impacted this year and it might take a couple of years before it gets back to the pre-pandemic level, according to emarketer.com. The US media industry will decrease its digital ad spend- ing by 9.3% to $6.28 billion in 2020, while the US entertainment industry will reduce its digital ad spend by 6.9% to $7.03 billion. Facebook has introduced Facebook Shops to help small businesses sell online. UBS analyst Eric Sheridan believes that this is a $10 billion opportunity in the next 3-5 years. The analyst has raised the price target from $242 to $330. He is also positive on the product and platform innovation, and sees Facebook as a beneficiary of key secular industry themes. FACEBOOK FINANCIALS - Q3 2020 Facebook generated around $21.5 billion in revenue in Q3 2020, up 22% year-on-year.

Under current FSCA regulations, we are not allowed to provide any performance disclosure. We are, however, allowed to disclose the following: SaltLight SNN Worldwide Flexible Fund Class C1 NAV Price Inception Date – 19/11/2020 999.17 March Quarter – 31/3/2021 1145.74 June Quarter – 30/06/2021 1218.13 ***** Dear Co-Investor The second quarter of 2021 would probably rank as the most ‘reflationary’ economic environment that we’ve seen in decades. We’ve utilised this buoyancy to reposition the portfolio outside of South Africa and into global opportunity sets that we’ve been working on over the last few years. Much of our capital reallocation was deployed in increasing positions in US technology (Facebook and Twitter) as well as further deployment to Alibaba in China. Many investors would roll their eyes at a Facebook investment (see our thesis below) and raise their eyebrows with Twitter. However, as it often happens, we find investments ideas because we are looking at some other opportunities and we discover an insight that leads us to something meaningfully better. It is our tepid notion that “curiosity” is a key input in our investment process, however, over the years, it has sourced wonderful ideas for us. As Richard Feynman said: “Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible” • We discovered Cartrack because of discussions we had with Transaction Capital management.

  • Emergency Responders Score Game-Changing Skills with Pediatric Virtual Reality Modules by Trisha Korioth, Staff Writer
    Emergency responders score game-changing skills with pediatric virtual reality modules by Trisha Korioth, Staff Writer With a wireless headset and internet connection (inset), first responders are transported into a virtual reality scenario where they can learn critical pediatric diagnostic skills in a zero-risk environment. Just 10% of calls to emergency medical services (EMS) involve pediatric patients, and most EMS professionals encounter one rare pediatric case in their career. Therefore, innovative methods are needed to teach first responders pediatric assessment skills so they are prepared for situations they seldom encounter. A new partnership between Health Scholars and the AAP is bringing virtual reality (VR) simulation training to first responders and clinicians, so they can learn and retain pediatric emergency assessment and resuscitation skills in an interactive format. Learners use voice commands to control the application, interact with and direct virtual team members to carry out commands. They receive feedback and practice skills until they attain mastery. "The new virtual reality applications with Health Scholars promote frequent hands-on skills practice that will decrease the potential for skills decay and ultimately improve the probability of a successful patient outcome," said Kajal Khanna, M.D., J.D., FAAP, who was involved with content and technical review of the VR applications. "By participating in this innovative learning activity, EMS professionals can interact and receive feedback about their medical management within a simulated and realistic environment that is safe and incorporates the element of game, a concept which is a pedagogical shift from the traditional delivery of educational offerings from the AAP." The VR training can complement the new AAP Pediatric Education for Prehospital Professionals (PEPP) Provider Manual, 4th Edition.
