Negative Goodwill 负商誉

Negative Goodwill (负商誉)

大红花的季报一出炉,大家都很好奇什么是 “Negative Goodwill - 负商誉”,笔者也不例外。请教了身边一些高手后大概了解了。笔者就用最简单的方式来跟大家解释吧。

先来说说 Goodwill。

当一家公司收购一个资产时,通常都会以比NTA高的价格来收购,这个差价就叫做 “Goodwill”。报帐时会出现在Goodwill of Acquisition。

那么Negative Goodwill是什么呢?

简单来说就是一个公司收购的资产比NTA便宜,比如说一个值RM1mil的资产,被收购价是RM500k,那么这就必须视为Negative Goodwill。但是Negative Goodwill只是账目上的一次性盈利,并非运营盈利 (Operating income)。

为什么会出现像这种可以捡到便宜的情况呢?

通常在一个行业低迷的时候,奄奄一息的小公司已经没有能力经营下去,便会卖掉资产。有能力大公司趁机收购这些资产。这就是为什么M&A (Merger & Acquisition)的活动在经济低迷时比较活跃。
一个行业在低迷的时候,资产估值会被低估。当经济好转时,资产将被重估,就会出现以上这种情况了。
