HISTORY: Heinz is a US based Food company with over 141 years of traditions and numerous branches worldwide. Some of the countries that enjoy their products include the US, UK, India, Australia and many more. Heinz was founded in Pennsylvania by a twenty five year old known as H.J. Heinz in the year 1869. The company began growing and eventually became recognized as one of the most reputable food based companies in the world. Heinz principal products include ketchup, condiments, sauces, frozen food, soups, beans, pasta meals, infant nutrition and other food products. Heinz employs approx. 33,000 people worldwide and operates more than 70 company owned factories. It all started in a little house in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania where Henry J Heinz grew up living with his family. At the age nine he walked door to door selling vegetables from the family garden.
Henry quickly understood before others that quality food product, properly packed and promoted would find a ready place in growing households. From the first product in 1869, horseradish, soon iconic Ketchup was introduced in 1896, Heinz famous “57 Variety” sprouted. This slogan had permanently rooted in Heinz’s brand and became a part of the company logo. At twelve he was delivering his products to grocery stores in Pittsburgh and 5 years later generated annual gross revenue of 2,400. Although he was meant to work with his father in a brick industry, he quickly realized that food product business was the path he wanted to choose so he did.
In 1869 Henry along with his friend L. Clarence Noble, founded Heinz Noble& Company and began to market horseradish. A year later a long depression forced the company into voluntary liquidation. In 1876 Henry established F. & J. Heinz along with two partners and introduced tomato ketchup in addition to six other products (celery sauce, pickled cucumbers, sauerkraut, vinegar). Twelve years later he acquired controlling interest and renamed company to H.J

    Congoleum Corp.

    In valuing the target company Congoleum after an LBO by First Boston found the expected free cash flows generated by this firm from 1980 to 1984. These numbers were based on values provided in the case. From there, we employed the Adjusted Present Value method to discount these cash flows because we assumed that Congoleum was varying its Debt to Equity ratio during those years. We discounted these cash flows by the required return on assets that was in turn calculated through use of the Modigliani-Miller unlevering formula (to derive the Asset Beta) and the Capital Asset Pricing Model. The required return on Congoleum debt was calculated by the expected return of the average CCC-company’s debt and the expected return of debt under default. Then, the present value of financial side effects was taken into account by discounting the interest tax shield by the required return on debt. Finally, we calculated the terminal value of cash flows by assuming a constant 4.14% growth rate in perpetuity and a constant D/E ratio for the years after 1984. Thus, these cash flows were initially discounted under WACC-ME. From there, we factored in prior debt and cash that Congoleum had generated to calculate the total equity value of the firm after the LBO had taken place.…

    From what I understand from Peagsus’s ethical values as a corporation, the business venture into China should not be engaged. Engaging this business venture would create potential for $100 million increase in annual profit because there is a huge demand in the Chinese market for wireless technology, and Pegasus has all the resources to meet this demand. Although this would be an excellent business decision, Tom Oswald the current CEO has already built a culture of integrity into the company, and that culture should not be compromised.…
