A global food business and its private equity parent sought to expand their investment portfolio and enter new markets across the Americas, Europe and Asia through a large, cross-border acquisition. The target company, however, had a complex global structure that created operational and tax inefficiencies. To ensure the successful integration of the target, as well as two simultaneous add-on acquisitions, FTI Consulting was engaged to assess and structure the combined acquisition platform to support strategic integration, streamline tax compliance and enhance cash mobility.
Our Impact
- Our experts enabled efficient repatriation and deployment of cash across jurisdictions with minimal cash tax leakage.
- The client’s U.S. operations were consolidated under a single filing group, simplifying compliance.
- FTI Consulting facilitated a stepped-up tax basis and eliminated historic earnings and profits in foreign jurisdictions, thereby generating tax savings for the combined group.
- The client’s investment decision-making was accelerated through a nimble, scalable tax structure.
Our Role
- FTI Consulting conducted global tax due diligence and designed the client’s acquisition and post-closing structure to meet commercial and tax objectives.
- Our experts implemented a legal entity restructuring across the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America and designed a cash pooling system to support post-acquisition funding needs and acquisition debt service.
- The team provided additional financial accounting services to support enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) integration of the acquired businesses.
