Offer from consortium of PE firms
Offer from competitors
The private equity consortium raised its offer on the
Friday before the deal was announced from $65 to
about $67 per share (roughly $11 billion), short
of ThermoFisher's bid.
Life Technologies had sought a higher price
from bidders after receiving committed offers.
"Life is a company with nearly 85% recurring
revenues, has the highest operating margins among
its peers, and is a free-cash-flow machine,"Jonathan Groberg,
Analyst, Macquarie Capital Inc.
TMO - Proven Ability to Deliver Growth
• Sales in 2012 were $12.51 billion, increase of $951
million from 2011. The increase was due to
acquisitions, including Phadia® and Dionex®, and
higher sales at existing businesses.
• Demand from customers in academic and
government markets slowed. Expected weakness in
academic and government markets in near term due
to uncertainty in the government funding
expectations in the US and Europe
• TMO’s strategy to augment internal growth at
existing businesses with complementary
acquisitions seems to have paid off well.
Example
One Lambda, a provider of transplant
diagnostics, was acquired in Sep 2012
to enhance the company’s presence in
specialty in vitro diagnostics and add
new capabilities to the company’s

Proven Ability to Deliver Productivity Efficiency
• In 2012, total company operating income and
operating income margin were $1.48 billion and
11.8%, respectively, compared with $1.25 billion and
10.8%, respectively, in 2011. The increase in
operating income was primarily due to profit on
incremental sales from acquisitions and existing
businesses
• $67 million of cash restructuring costs primarily for
continued headcount reductions and facility
consolidations in an effort to streamline operations,
including severance to reduce headcount at several
businesses and abandoned facility expenses at
businesses that have been or are being
consolidated, such as the consolidation of several
facilities in the U.S. and Europe.
• Return on Capital and Return on Assets is expected
to improve once post merger integration (Phadia,
One Lambda and Dionex) activities are completed.

Analyst Reaction
“We believe TMO remains well-positioned as a stand-alone entity, and LIFE is a “nice to have”
rather than a “must have,” we remain constructive on the potential for a deal for TMO.
Tycho W. Peterson, J P Morgan
TMO remains the most likely acquirer, in our view... according to press reports, TMO was the only strategic bidder for LIFE, and
bid higher than private equity. While we expect TMO’s bid to include equity (so that the company can stay in its leverage comfort
range), a higher bid that includes equity that is likely to appreciate should be easily superior to a lower cash offer.
…as a potential deal could be highly accretive… we could easily see >$500M of operating income synergies over time, with
overlapping sales channels, G&A functions, and LIFE’s overspending on R&D being low-hanging fruit. It should also be noted that
LIFE’s >1,000bp higher tax rate represents a significant source of potential net income synergies over time, in our view. With this in
mind, we believe it is not difficult to see >10% ROIC on a LIFE acquisition around $70, which should bolster the case for TMO as a
strong cash generator with improving returns.
…but we would expect TMO to under-promise and over-deliver. If/when a deal is announced, we believe that TMO is likely to
under-promise on synergies and accretion, consistent with the company's track record of being conservative with guidance over the
last year, and setting up a multi-year beat-and-raise story. While it is possible to see FY14 accretion as much as $1 in EPS (~17%), it
is far more likely that initial expectations could be for half this amount, in our view.
Thoughts on antitrust. While it is not uncommon for deals in this highly technical industry to receive second requests in the U.S.
(and it seems the revenue threshold would almost certainly require a China review), we believe that antitrust approval would
eventually be granted without any material effect on the business. If divestitures are required in the small parts of the business that
do overlap (PCR, parts of bio production), we find it difficult to see much north of 1% of the combined total revenue.

From ThermoFisher’s 2015 10K ….
• Sales in the Life Sciences Solutions segment increased $244 million to $4.44 billion in 2015 primarily due to the acquisition of Life Technologies, net of
divestitures. The increase in pro forma revenue at existing businesses was primarily due to increased demand for bioprocess production products as well as
biosciences products.
• During 2015 , the company’s cash flow from operations totaled $2.82 billion compared with $2.62 billion for 2014 . The increase resulted from cash
disbursements in the 2014 period totaling $325 million related to the acquisition of Life Technologies, including severance obligations, third-party
transaction/integration costs and monetizing certain equity awards held by Life Technologies employees at the date of acquisition.
• In addition, the company recorded $82 million of cash restructuring costs primarily for actions to achieve synergies from the Life Technologies acquisition.
• The company’s effective tax rate was 9.2% in 2014. Aside from the discrete tax on the divestiture, the company had a benefit from income taxes primarily due to
restructuring and other costs associated with the acquisition of Life Technologies.
