The threat of new and substitute products is minimal due to over regulation of entry of new firms and products in the market. Existence of few leading service providers has also led to reduced bargaining power of suppliers and buyers. Nevertheless, the market rivalry and competition is high as firms try to attract the high number of customers. The growth in network of out of home cables has been high over years as depicted in the graph depicted in Appendix J. Graph in Appendix J indicates that in spite of the high regulation of the cable communications industry in US, the industry is recording growth enhancing the viability of investments.

In the next 10 years, the cash flow of Time Warner is expected to grow with the constant rate of 10% per year. Similarly, cash flows are expected to grow by 5% year after year. Considering the valuation of Time Warner Cable, the NPV is positive at $54,648.30 million. This implies that the NPV was suitable to support future success of the new acquired company. Since both companies are financially healthy, Charter should expect sustainable and scalable financial growth after acquiring Time Warner Cable. With the acquisition, Charter Communications will have a larger market cap in the industry and become more competitive. In terms of financial ratio analysis, the financial ratios are appropriate in determining whether Charter Communications should buy Time Warner Cable.

Charter Communications should buy Time Warner Cable. Time Warner Cable has a positive NPV value that is supported by future forecasts of growth in the total free cash flows in the company. Considering the forecast changes, the annual cash flows for Time Warner Cable is expected to grow by 10%. The examination of the NPV and financial ratios of Charter Communications indicates that the company has not been performing well. This acquisition will ACQUISITION OF TIME WARNER CABLE make both companies become better competitors in the industry. Moreover, there are many synergies that will help the companies reduce costs and further their growth. Time Warner has a dominant market share. The organization has over 23 magazines and 50 websites. This will develop a synergy to Charter Communications, by extending its market share. The combined market share of both organizations will enhance the ability of the new organization to influence industry forces including prices and decisions by regulators, to their advantage (DePamphilis, 2011). Time warner is highly dependent in Google Inc. as its main website search provider (Marketing, 2015). The organization relies on Google's algorithmic search in its programs. The need to bring other organizations such as Charter Communications on board is necessary in diversifying its supply networks. Time Warner Cable will benefit from the unique ability of Charter Communications to serve customers who requires advanced entertainment services as well as communications (Marketing, 2015). This will accelerate Time Warner's distribution process in Charter Communication distribution channels and vice versa. The end result will be a synergetic improvement in the total company's distribution process. Time Warner Cable will also enjoy the delivery of its services to more than 2 Million customers of Charter Communications. This will boost the overall sales that the organization would be generating as a merged company as opposed to what it would be generating on its own. Charter Communications has a very strong brand (MBA, 2015). Time Warner will take advantage of the same in delivery of its services to customers. This will be critical in developing strong relations of the organization and its customers. Satisfied customers are likely to act as 7 ACQUISITION OF TIME WARNER CABLE 8 ambassadors to an organization in the market hence drawing more customers as well as repeat purchases. The combined operations of Time Warner Cable and Charter Communications will be critical in boosting the efficiency of Charter Communications. One of the cited weaknesses of the organization is low efficiency in utilization of bandwidth capacity (MBA, 2015). It records high level of unused bandwidth capacity. However, with a larger customer base and better approach of economies of scale, Charter Communications and Time Warner Cable will be able to offer better bandwidth to customers at competitive pricing packages. Culture is one of the key determinants of how well organizations engaging in acquisitions will operate. There is a need for such organizations to have compatible culture and where such compatibility does not exist, there is a need for them to craft a culture that is in line with the new organization's mission and vision. In this case, the culture of both organizations is largely the same. Both organizations emphasize accommodation of diversity and team work. They also promote a culture of innovation among employees. They will thus very critical in enhancing the overall performance of the new organization. It is through culture that values of employees and the organization, its traditions and stories are reflected. A common organization culture ensures that no stakeholders who feel left out as a result of how another stakeholder operate (Ferenczy, Ilene, 2014). From the points above, it is evident that the acquisition process should be carried out with high level of diligence. There is a need for organizations to assess the internal capabilities and weaknesses that they bring on table and how the combining of capabilities may boost the performance of the organization while at the same time minimizing weaknesses. The above study indicates that the media industry is highly regulated and is in an oligopolistic state. Consumers ACQUISITION OF TIME WARNER CABLE and suppliers bargaining power is minimal. The threat of new entry is also minimal due to entry regulations. It also indicates that both organization will benefit from common culture, enhance utilization of broad band assets and take advantage of increased market share among others. All these factors will enhance the overall performance of the organization. Financing As for funding of the acquisition, Charter Communications should offer to buy Time Warner Cable for the net present value of $54,648.30 million. Charter Communications Inc's acquisition of Time Warner Cable relies on the various forms of financing. Currently, Charter Communications relies on the funding of John Malone, a private investor who owns 27% of the total stake of the company. Additionally, loans including cash flows loans would be appropriate for Charter Communications Inc in gaining advantage to acquire Time Warner Cable. These loans are usually both short and long term, as they offer additional capital for successful acquisition (Baker & Martin, 2011). This is because the loans offer adequate time and finances for the integration of two companies. The loans also offer the benefits of reduced costs and urgency of the financing. However, it is critical to understand the exposures of the company in determining the appropriate merger and acquisition financing. One of the most recommendable type of loans is bridge loan financing. Bridge loan financing is one of the most effective tools for immediate capitalization of the acquisition. In most occasions, the loans are offered for short-term periods within a range of 6 to 36 months. The bridge loan would help the company to take advantage of the opportunity for acquisitions. In the short term, it is recommendable for Charter Communications to take the bridge loans before organizing for long-term capital. 9 ACQUISITION OF TIME WARNER CABLE 10 The investments of John Malone at Charter Communications are significant in the overall funding of the company's investment plans. John Malone's support of the acquisition will indicate the impacts of private equity investor funding that usually takes less time towards funding the acquisition of the other company. The venture capitalists including John Malone are beneficial, as they assist in immediate funding and quick implementation of acquisition proposals. John Malone still holds a significant controlling interest in the company including both the management and the operations of the business. Therefore, Charter Communications should seek more venture capitalist and private investors willing to fund the acquisition of Time Warner Cable due to the expected returns from the acquisition. Considering the current debt level of Charter Communications, Mezzanine financing would also be appropriate. This debt financing option will offer the company will increase funding from the creditors who would be willing to convert their debt into equity. Even though this financing option offers adequate funding, it experiences high interest rates. Most importantly, Charter Communications should find the Mezzanine financing easier to obtain compared to other financing options (Elsas, Flannery & Garfinkel, 2014). Charter Communications has also associated the financing option with leveraged buyouts. In comparison with other forms of financing, it is necessary for Charter Communications to consider Mezzanine financing for acquire Time Warner Cable. This is because the financing allows debt to be treated as equity on the company's statement of financial position. Such treatment makes it easier to acquire standard bank financing. Charter Communications should be ready to indicate its tract record with established products and services. ACQUISITION OF TIME WARNER CABLE 11 Charter Communications can issue debt in the bond market attracting investors to invest for a competitive yield. Furthermore, Charter Communications can also buyout Time Warner Cable for a dollar amount per share. For a combination of debt and equity financing, Charter Communications should take into consideration the NPV of Time Warner Cable. Time Warner Cable's NPV is $54,648 million. Charter Communications should pay the NPV divided by the amount of shares outstanding of Tim Warner Cable. Operations After Acquisition of Time Warner Cable After acquiring Time Warner Cable, Charter Communication will be a stronger competitor in the Media industry. The following are areas in which Charter Communications will benefit after the acquisition: larger market share, over-coming entry barriers, lower cost of new product development, increased speed of deployment of new products/services to market, reduced risk in developing a new product/service, potential for faster growth of customer base, increased diversification, reduced costs due to synergies, and maximizing shareholder profits. Though both Time Warner Cable and Charter Communications are in the similar kind of business over the years and they have their own customer base for a longer period of time, it is extremely difficult to say that, each company has similar presence across the entire locality and because of which entering to that new opportunity market, it will have entry barriers. There would be some locations, where Charter has a dense presence and Warner has never presence in those localities as well. So post the acquisition, Time Warner Cable will have the opportunity to get more business. There will be a growth rate in customers switching over from other ACQUISITION OF TIME WARNER CABLE 12 companies to Charter Communications. The concept of entry barriers will be overcome by Time Warner Cable with the existing market support from Charter Communications. Although Time Warner Cable is present in this cable business for a longer period of time, there are certain products of Charter Communications, which are new to Time Warner Cable. A new product of Charter Communications being offered to an existing customer of Time Warner Cable and meets the customer requirement, will certainly help the company to improve and increase the business effectively over the time. So each and every new product that is developed will have lesser cost of production as per this process. The acquisition makes faster market penetration and gets more market for potential business along with better capabilities by entering into new horizons from here onwards. Hence, the called new capabilities could be used towards the new product development process and this can create a better market position in the stiffer competitive market prevailing at present. As the entire business is strongly established for Time Warner Cable, the concept of developing a new product as per the requirement of the consumer is already there. The risk of the new product failing is minimized. After the acquisition, it is very easy to diversify the business scope and to acknowledge the business opportunities to ensure that the risk of concentration is diluted to full extent possible in the market by the company. Diversification of the product portfolio will help both companies achieve a balanced growth while minimizing risk. After the acquisition, Time Warner Cable will be a larger company with variety of services and products in the market. After the acquisition, Charter Communication can reduce some of its costs by lowering the total number of employees or \"doing more with less\".
