TATA -JAGUAR -LAND ROVER DEAL

Equity and Debt – The Concepts

The TATA’s

Tata is an increasingly powerful multinational conglomerate with a market value of more than $70bn (£35bn) and almost 290,000 people in its workforce in 80 countries. During the financial year March 2008, its revenues of about £18bn were equivalent to some 3.2% of India's gross domestic product.

The Mumbai-based group's subsidiaries are major corporations in their own right, active in industries ranging from IT services to power generation, to tea production, to steel. In the UK it already owns Tetley Tea and steelmaker Corus.

The JaGuar &&& The LandRover

Its first model was the 4x4 vehicle that bore the company's name, while Land Rover has also made the Range Rover, the Freelander and the Discovery.

Jaguar -- the sleek car which dates back to 1935 -- has been less profitable for Ford since it was bought in 1989. Its vehicles are made at three plants across central and northwest England, while famous models have included the E-type and the long-running XJ series.

Britain enjoys a largely successful car-making industry thanks to foreign investment. Japanese car giants Nissan, Toyota and Honda each run large plants in the country.

German manufacturer BMW is meanwhile enjoying successful production of the Mini in Cowley, central England. Last year, however, French car group Peugeot shut its plant in Coventry -- the same region that suffered after MG Rover went bankrupt. 2005.

The JaGuar &&& The LandRover

........ By 1927, car companies progressed to building special bodied cars, which in 1931 resulted in the launch of the legendary SS1, a car which set the stage for the first true Jaguar. “Remember the DIE ANOTHER DAY MOVIE” …….. As the range improved and expanded, it needed a name to reflect its speed, power and sleekness and in 1935 the Jaguar name was born.

........ Jaguar subsequently introduced its new XK120 at the 1948 Motor Show, with an engine output of 160 BHP.......The Mark VII saloon was unveiled at the 1950 Motor Show and once again Lyons 'stole the show'.……. In 1955, the company invested one million pound on designing and developing the Jaguar 2.4 to fill the gap........ The E-type was announced in 1961........ Some 70,000 Jaguar E-types were built over the next 13 years, with around 60% being shipped to theUnited States.

……. In 1968, the XJ6 arrived.

Tatas fund J-LR Deal through Cash Reserves & New Debt

Tata Motors said : The $2.30 billion deal to acquire premium auto brands Jaguar and Land Rover would be funded through a mix of existing cash reserves and new debts.

Tata Motors had announced that its Board has approved raising of Rs 4,000 crore (about one billion dollar) from either overseas or domestic markets through issuance of securities. The company had said the funds to be raised would be utilised to part finance overall funding requirement to meet some of its strategic plans.

TM Planed To Raise Rs 4,000 Crores To Finance J-LR Deal

Auto major Tata Motors planned to raise nearly Rs 4,000 crore by selling securities in the domestic and international markets to part finance its imminent acquisition of Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford Motor.

The Tata Motors board approved the fund raising proposal. “The funds were raised to part-finance overall funding requirements to meet some of the strategic plans,”

PlansPlans for expanding its position in the domestic and global markets in both the commercial vehicle and passenger vehicle business. This was achieved by upgrading and enhancing the company’s product portfolio, expanding manufacturing facilities in India and strategic acquisitions and alliances in India and abroad”.

While the organic growth plan required money over the next 3 to 4 years, the acquisition opportunities were to be financed up front. A source close to the development said Tata Motors would “borrow from financial institutions” to finance the Land Rover-Jaguar deal. The proceeds from the proposed share sale will be utilised to repay the loan, he added.

Tata planned to inject $2 billion in Jaguar, Land Rover

The Tatas - planned to fork out over $2 billion for the acquisition of these marquee brands, which Ford had put on the block to shore up its balance sheet and reduce debt.

ET ReportsOn February 25 : Tata Motors started the process of raising nearly $2.5 billion, mostly from the overseas markets, by giving the mandate to a battery of banks including Citi and JP Morgan, StandardChartered, BNP Paribas and SBI.

Funds were raised against the balance sheet of Tata Motors. In other words, the borrowing would have an impact on the balance sheets of Jaguar and Land Rover.

Tata and Ford were expected to sign an MoU in the next few weeks. Ford had announced that Tata Motors was the preferred bidder on January 3.

Tata planned inject $2 billion in Jaguar, Land Rover

Jaguar had shown Tata Motors its new model lines and found the Indian automobile giant ‘respectful’ of its plans. It was learnt that Ford managed to convince Unite, the union representing Jaguar and Land Rover workers, on its plan to sell these two brands in their entirety. Unite was earlier of the opinion that Ford should retain minority interest in these brands.

Tata Motors Managing Director Ravi Kant said :That the company had taken bridge loans of $3 billion to fund the acquisitionof the two British luxury brands.

He said the company planned to replace the bridge loans with long-term debts and equity contribution with funds to be raised through divestment in group companies.

TATA MOTOR– JLR Deal process

12/06/2007- Announcement from Ford that it plans to sell Land Rover and Jaguar.

August 2007 - Major bidders are identified

Likely buyers: Tata Motors, M&M, Ceribrus capital Management, TPG Capital, Apollo Management

India’s Tata Motors and M&M arrive as top bidders ($ 2.05b & $ 1.9b)

03/01/2008 – Ford announces Tatas as the preferred bidders

26/03/2008 - Ford agreed to sell their Jaguar Land Rover operations to Tata Motors.

02/06/2008 – The acquisition is complete

Why did Ford sell?

• Reports said losses at Jaguar stood at USD 715 million in 2006. Jaguar has been a dog i.e. it has not been able to provide any profit for ford because of the high manufacturing costs provided in the United Kingdom.

• The strong boy Land Rover's profit, on the other hand, was driven by the record sale of 2.26 lakh vehicles, an 18% YoY growth in 2007..

• Bringing down production costs and turning around the company successfully will be the challenge,” analysts said. It was a test that Ford failed.

• Ford is combining both the brands since the products and manufacturing of vehicles for Land Rover and Jaguar is so intertwined.

Why did Tatas acquire JLR?

• Long term strategic commitment to automotive sector.

• Opportunity to participate in two fast growing auto segments.

• Increased business diversity across markets and products.

• Land rover provides a natural fit for TML’s SUV segment.

• Jaguar offers a range of “performance/luxury” vehicles to broaden the brand portfolio.

• Benefits from component sourcing, design services and low cost engineering

•Considering that Jaguar and Land Rover are two of the most well-known automotive names in the world, and that Ford had acquired them for a collective cost of about $5 billion almost a decade earlier, Tata Motors seems to have got them at a steal at $2 billion.

•Over the years, Ford spent close to a total of $10 billion on the brand but failed to return a profit. After incurring heavy losses for two consecutive years in 2006 and 2007, Ford took this move.

•Tata Motors has assured the employee union that both these factories will continue to operate without any retrenchments after the takeover.

•The process which started in ‘00 and reached new heights in ’07 was said to have reached a Zenith with this.

•The Nano’s plans were said to have been targeted towards the down markets but with this deal going through this has been contradicted as Tata was equally bullish in the upmarkets.

Post LBO… “Jaguar –Land Rover” by the TATAs

An ownership change for Jaguar and Land Rover, once emotive emblems of the British auto industry, from Ford to Tata Motors was greeted with approval but regret by a union here on Wednesday.

The Unite union welcomed the sale by Ford of the United States to Tata given an undertaking that jobs would be saved, but the union's joint leader Tony Woodley said that the switch was "a big disappointment."

Tata Motors later confirmed in New Delhi that it had bought the British luxury icons for 2.3 billion dollars in cash.

Unite general secretary Woodley said he was "pleased" Tata was buying the brands and safeguarding about 16,000 jobs in Britain. Commenting on Ford's planned sale, he said: "That is a big disappointment." Woodley added: "We would have much preferred Ford to keep the companies in the family, so to speak, especially with Land Rover being so profitable.

Post LBO… “Jaguar –Land Rover” by the TATAs

"But with the commitments Tata have given to the future of Jaguar Land Rover and the long-term supply agreements for components, especially engines from Bridgend and Dagenham (Ford sites in Britain), we're obviously pleased they are in the game."

Ford announced it was selling Jaguar and Land Rover last year as part of a restructuring after the US group posted a record loss of almost 13 billion dollars.

Tata was expected to keep the current business plans of Jaguar and Land Rover through 2011 and retain Jaguar's headquarters in Coventry, central England, according to British union officials.

Land Rover -- also based in central England and which is celebrating its 60th anniversary -- has been largely profitable for Ford since the US group took it over in 2000.
