INTRODUCTION
Case Overview
In June of 2019, United Technologies Corp. (“UTC”) and the Raytheon Company
(“Raytheon” or “RTN”) agreed to an all-share merger that created a massive multinational
conglomerate and one of the largest aerospace and defence manufacturers. The deal was worth
roughly US$90B and was eventually completed in April 2020, with the merged entity being known
as Raytheon Technologies (NYSE: RTX, “RTX”). The transaction created the second largest U.S.
Aerospace & Defence company by revenue, trailing only Boeing, with exposure to both the
military and commercial markets. In this paper, we will analyze the key components of the merger.
Overview of Raytheon
Raytheon, founded in 1922, was a major defence contractor for the United States. In
combination with its subsidiaries, it was composed by the following business segments, as per
figure 1; Integrated Defence Systems (“IDS”), Intelligence, Information and Services (“IIS”),
Missile Systems (“MS”), Space and Airborne Systems (“SAS”). The IDS segment provided
integrated air and missile defence systems, notably the patriot-missile systems, to operators such
as the U.S. Army and Navy; the MS segment developed missile and combat systems for the U.S.
Forces and allied nations; the IIS segment specialized in items such as cybersecurity and data
analysis, which it provided to operators such as the U.S. Intelligence Community and finally, the
SAS segment provided sensor and communication systems for operators such as the U.S. Air Force
(RTN Form 10K 2019). In terms of end markets, the company was primarily focused on the
defence sector in the United States, with roughly 69% of total revenue being generated by military
defence contracts from the U.S. government with an additional 14% of revenue being generated
4
by foreign military sales through the U.S. government. Although Raytheon was considered to be
the 4th largest defence contractor based on contracts won (Federal Procurement Data System,
2020), the heavy dependence on the defence sector exposed the company to risks such as changes
in regulations or requirements, contract termination and customer concentration. Given the
dependence on the U.S. government, winning said contracts and then delivering on them in both a
timely and effective manner were key for the Raytheon Company (RTN Form 10-K 2019).

United Technologies Overview
UTC was founded in 1934 as United Aircraft Corporation, however, as the firm focused
on growth by M&A and diversified into other industries, it rebranded itself as UTC in 1975. Via
its M&A strategy, UTC became a multinational conglomerate and prior to the merger, the
company operated through the following business subsidiaries, as per figure 2: Otis, Carrier, Pratt
& Whitney and Collins Aerospace Systems. The Otis segment provided elevator and escalator
manufacturing, installation and service company to commercial, residential and infrastructure
property sectors across the globe and accounted for ~17% of 2019 sales. The Carrier subsidiary
provided heating, ventilating, air conditioning, refrigeration, fire and security solutions for
residential, commercial and industrial applications and accounted for ~24% of sales. Following
5
the acquisition of Rockwell Collins in 2018, UTC announced it would divide itself into three
businesses by spinning off its Otis and Carrier segments into independent companies owned by
shareholders. These spin offs were completed in Q2’2020 and were part of UTC at the time of the
merger; hence we have included them in the company description. The Pratt & Whitney subsidiary
manufactured aircraft engines, which it sold to commercial, military, business and general aviation
markets - notably supplying the engine for the F-35 Lightning II aircraft being produced by
Lockheed Martin. Finally, the Collins Aerospace Systems segment provided technologically
advanced aerospace products and aftermarket service solutions for aircraft manufacturers, airlines,
regional, business and general aviation markets, as well as military and space operations. In terms
of end market exposure, UTC served the commercial, industrial and military markets. Although it
wasn’t necessarily as concentrated as Raytheon was, UTC was still the 7th largest defence
contractor based on contracts won (Federal Procurement Data System, 2020). Henceforth, the
company was still exposed to the risk of changes and terminations in both U.S. government and
commercial contracts (UTC Form 10-K 2019).

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Aerospace and Defence Industry
The end of the Cold War brought upon great changes to the overall defence industry;
defence spending shifted away from large arsenals of traditional weapons and instead emphasized
innovative weapon systems, rapid deployment and extreme precision. As a result of this shift, the
defence industry has been characterized by consolidation/M&A as scale and innovation have
become necessary for winning contracts. Notable M&A activity includes the $30B acquisition of
Rockwell Collins by UTC in 2017 and the $20B merger between L3 Technologies and Harris in
2018. These contracts, which governments will offer to companies in exchange for the
manufacture of key military goods and services, are a key driver of the defence industry, along
with geopolitics. Global military expenditure was estimated to have been ~$1.9T in 2019, with the
bulk of the spend coming from the United States ($705B) (Sipri, 2020). As the U.S. government
is a predominant force in the defence industry, and both companies are based in the U.S., we will
focus on the U.S. defence market. Following the end of the Iraq War, the Department of Defence’s
budget decreased as per figure 3, before being increased by President Trump’s administration in
2017. In terms of an outlook, the defence budget is certainly expected to stagnate. Even prior to
the pandemic, the defence budget for FY2021 was set at around $705.4B, compared to $704.6B in
FY2020 - a growth of just 0.1% (Department of Defence Budget, 2020). Due to the significance
of the pandemic and the corresponding exacerbation of the deficit ($3.1T in FY2020, the highest
percentage of GDP since 1945 as per Bipartisan Policy), spending on defence will likely decrease
going forward which will impact all contractors.

In terms of market share, the US market is not necessarily significantly concentrated in
terms of contracts won due to the regulations regarding contracts awards, however a select number
of companies, such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman and RTN have historically
won the largest contracts. Following the merger, and based on 2019 figures, Raytheon
Technologies would have accounted ~3.7% of total U.S. defence budget spend, creating the third
largest defence contractor in the U.S. (Federal Procurement Data System, 2020), allowing the
merged entity to gain the necessary scale to become a more dominant player in the industry.

Commercial Aerospace Industry
8
The commercial aerospace industry is composed of companies that manufacture aircraft
for commercial air travel and was estimated to have generated roughly $784B in 2019 (IBISWorld
2020). The manufacture of aircraft has been long dominated by the likes of Boeing and Airbus,
however companies such as Raytheon Technologies provide critical aspects such as engines and
cabin equipment. In terms of an outlook, the industry is likely to decrease in the near term as the
pandemic and its corresponding virus-curbing restrictions have significantly ravaged air travel,
with IBISWorld forecasting a ~24% contraction in sales. The restrictions have had obvious impacts
on the supply chain, given that airlines have deferred many deliveries in a struggle to preserve cash
and survive. These deferrals have crept up the supply chain and impacted not only the
manufacturers of passenger aircrafts such as Boeing and Airbus, but the providers of aircraft
equipment such as General Electric and Raytheon Technologies (Ferguson, 2020). Although short-
term expectations are low, as RTX’s CEO Greg Hayes himself stated in the company’s Q2 2020
earnings call that he does not expect commercial air travel to return to “normal” until 2023, the
industry should benefit from a recovering in air travel and the increasing backlog of orders in the
long-term.
Industry Participants
In figure 8, we have compiled the top companies in the aerospace & defence industry. As
outlined, not only is the merged entity, RTX, one of the largest companies in the industry, but it is
perhaps the most balanced across the commercial and defence markets. Diversification was one of
the key reasons behind the merger (it is further elaborated upon later in this report) and has become
especially necessary in light of the pandemic as the commercial industry has been effectively
halted due to virus-curbing restrictions.

MERGER TERMS & NEGOTIATIONS
Deal Structure
The merger agreement was initially announced on June 10, 2019, with the agreement being
a merger of equals transaction combining UTC’s aerospace business, composed of Collins
Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney, with Raytheon, creating Raytheon Technologies Corporation.
Shareholders of each respective company approved the deal in October of 2019 and the deal finally
closed on April 3rd, 2020. In terms of the deal structure, it was an all-stock transaction where
Raytheon shareholders received 2.3348 shares in the new combined company for each existing
share they owned previously. The aggregated value of the new entity at the time of the
announcement was roughly $90B (implying a forward EV/EBITDA of ~13x and no premium due
to the structure of the deal). Raytheon shareholders received control of 47 percent of the merged
entity, with the remaining 53 percent going to UTC shareholders. Additionally, UTC CEO Greg
Hayes became the CEO of the combined company, while Raytheon’s CEO, Thomas Kennedy,
became chairman. In terms of the board of directors, UTC controlled eight of the 15 pro-forma
seats, with the remaining seven coming from Raytheon. (RTN FORM 8-K, 2019) In terms of
leverage, the new entity’s net debt stands at ~$26B, of which UTC contributed roughly ~$24B. At
these levels, the company’s credit profile qualifies as “A-rated”. Furthermore, both parties were
subject to termination fees; Raytheon would have to pay UTC ~$1.8B if Raytheon backed out of
the deal and UTC would have to pay Raytheon ~$2.4B if UTC backed out of the deal (RTN FORM
8-K, 2019).

Strategic Rationale
Cost Synergies
As the A&D industry consolidates, there will be increased pressure exerted on players to
expand their R&D budget. R&D budgets are pegged to revenues, so as these companies continue
to scale operations, capital allocated to research will also rise, putting pressure on competitors to
follow suit. Raytheon was thus given the choice of increasing its R&D budget or scaling up the
business. They choose the latter, by accepting the merger proposal from United Technologies the
new entity will remain competitive within the industry (Liwag & Sharpe, 2020). Management is
expecting the combined company will achieve $1B in gross cost synergies by year four of
operations (RTX M&A Investor Presentation, 2020). These cost savings will be achieved by
consolidating various business segments. $350M will come from supply chain and procurement,
$325M from corporate consolidation, $175M in facilities consolidation, and $150M from IT and
SG&A savings (Investor Relations, 2020). RTX expects to realize these savings by the fourth year
of operations, which will give the new entity time to consolidate.
Based on these estimates, management is expecting to spread the overhead across the larger
organization. Considering the aerospace and defense industry is relatively low output, their
individual units have a higher unit cost. By consolidating segments, they will be able to eliminate
redundancy and drive down the unit costs of their output. Although this would be more effective
if RTN and UTC had identical products, which they do not. UTC’s Pratt & Whitney division does
not have much in common with RTN’s information services. These units will therefore remain
intact, and the synergies are limited. The main area in which RTX will benefit from cost synergies
will be in economies of scale. As we can see the biggest savings will be in the supply chain
11
($350M) and IT($150M) segments. Both of these will see lower per-unit costs as operations scale
up (Gaughan, 2017).
As the industry consolidates, R&D expenses will continue to grow in absolute dollar size
while becoming smaller as a percent of revenues. Looking at Figure 5 we can see the justification
for the merger as Raytheon Technologies is able to field a competitive research expense.

Revenue Synergies
Revenue synergies are hardest to achieve and are often overstated by management of
merging firms. It is estimated that 70% of mergers failed to achieve topline synergy expectations.
This is often due to management's failure to consider the cost of the disruption which can lead to
a loss in customers (Christofferson & McNish, 2020).
RTX will benefit from a more diverse source of revenues. Raytheon’s defense business
will complement United Technologies’ aerospace revenues. Management believes that both
entities can leverage each other’s technologies to innovate product offerings and drive revenue
12
growth in areas such hypersonic missile systems, directed energy weapons, intelligence,
surveillance and reconnaissance, cyber protection for aircraft, and artificial intelligence in aircraft
(Liwag & Sharpe, 2020).
For RTX, the source of its revenue synergies will most likely come from faster growth
markets and a combination of functional strengths. Looking at Figure 6, we can see UTC has faster
growing revenues which will contribute to the new company by giving it access to the faster
growing aerospace industry. RTN’s contribution is its stable defence segment which is more
dependent on defence spending rather than the state of the economy.

Diversification & Financial Synergies
As a larger, more diverse firm, RTX will be substantially less risky compared to the two
original firms. The new Raytheon Technologies will have exposure to RTN’s defence business as
well as UTC’s aerospace business. This means the company will have a more diversified source
of revenues. At the moment, the commercial aerospace sector has collapsed due to the COVID-19
13
pandemic, while defence spending has remained consistent. Because the combined cash flows are
not perfectly correlated, RTX will benefit from financial synergies which will lower its chance of
bankruptcy. Looking at Figure 7, we can see RTX has a lower cost of capital at 8.8% compared to
its predecessors at 9.26% and 10.39% for UTC and RTN respectfully.

Technology & Scale
As mentioned, the merger created one of the largest global Aerospace and Defence
companies by revenue. The combined portfolio of Raytheon Technologies Corp. now spans across
a very large variety of business verticals, both in the Commercial Aerospace and the Defence
markets. The new management team expects numerous overlap opportunities in technological
competencies of both aforementioned teams. To name a few, the company suggests it can now
serve customers in the Hypersonic/Future Missile Systems area with enhanced solutions
combining UTC’s signature high-temperature materials, thermal management, and advanced
propulsion systems with Raytheon’s vehicle integration expertise, seekers and payloads, and
14
advanced guidance and control technology. Such examples can be observed in numerous areas of
both the defence and the commercial aerospace areas. With a team of ~60,000 engineers, ~38,000
patents, 7 R&D centers around the globe, and a pro-forma R&D spend of ~$8B in 2019, it is not
hard to imagine how the post-merger RTX now has some end-to-end capabilities that are very
difficult to match by its peers.
In terms of scale, given how diversified and balanced the merged entity is, it now has the
ability to invest through the business cycle, regardless of where it stands at any point in time. This
is made possible due to the offsetting nature of the commercial and defence cycles. The company
is also less reliant on any individual programs or customers. Finally, the combined total
addressable market is significantly increased for the combined company.

Regulatory Process
All mergers and acquisitions transactions are subject to antitrust laws. Antitrust laws are
put into place to promote fair competition and protect consumers from predatory pricing or
excessive market power. In the case at hand, the Antitrust Commission of the Department of
Justice (“DOJ”) of the United States and the European Commission had to go over the proposed
transaction to ensure Raytheon Technologies would not gain excessive market power in any areas
of business. Although both regulatory agencies approved the transaction, they concluded Raytheon
needed to proceed with the divestiture of its military airborne radios and its big space-based optical
systems businesses. The reasoning behind such decisions is quite simple; The companies were
among the very few suppliers in this niche market, and therefore, without intervention, would
lessen competition in these markets. (Department of Justice - Office of Public Affairs, 2020) After
working closely with the DOJ, Raytheon proceeded to sell its aforementioned military airborne
radios business (including facilities in Indiana, Florida and Connecticut) to BAE Systems Inc. for
roughly ~$2.1B. ($1.9B for Collins Aerospace’s military Global Positioning System and $275M
for Raytheon’s Airborne Tactical Radios’ division) (Erwin, 2020)
Finally, after having made the required divestitures and proceeded with the scheduled spin-
offs of the Otis and Carrier brands, there are now 4 distinct groups under the Raytheon
Technologies name today: Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, Raytheon Intelligence & Space,
and Raytheon Missiles & Defense.

Pro-Forma Entity
In terms of pro-forma entity, Raytheon Technologies’ geographical exposure is now
comprised of 55% domestically generated revenues (i.e., Revenues generated in the U.S.), with
the remaining 45% being international. The end market breakdown showcases the merged
company’s balanced profile, with the Commercial Aerospace segment and the Defence segment
accounting for roughly 46%, and 54% of revenues, respectively. (See Figure 10)
Figure 10: Pro-Forma Business Mix

With regard to capital structure, the merged entity is skewed towards a more equity heavy
structure. The company currently has a market capitalization of roughly ~$90B ($87.3B to be
exact) and roughly ~$34B in total debt (~$1.5B in short-term debt and ~$33B in long-term debt).
Figure 11: Pro-Forma Capital Structure
The company’s credit ratings have been updated by credit agencies following the execution
of the merger and have remained stable despite the ongoing global pandemic. Moody’s current
issuer rating is a respectable “Baa1”, while Standard & Poor’s hold a strong “A-” rating. In other
words, credit agencies classify RTX’s credit worthiness as having an “adequate” to “strong”
capacity to meet its financial commitments (Ferguson, 2020).
18
Market Reaction & Investor Criticism
The merger had attracted criticism from activist investor Bill Ackman who voiced concerns
that it would lower the quality of United Technologies as a company. In his view, the company
was on track for success as it separated into three divisions and focused on its aerospace business.
Having spun off its Otis and Carrier businesses, Ackman believed UTC would trade at a higher
multiple as a smaller and leaner company potentially in the mid 20’s P/E multiple. He questioned
the logic UTC for using its (in his opinion) highly undervalued shares to buy inferior Raytheon
shares. UTC had an undervalued share price because of years of acquisitions, which increased
amortization and artificially reduced earnings. This contrasts with Raytheon, because they are a
pure play in the industry, their share price did not suffer from discounting like UTC (Ackman,
2019). Daniel Loeb of Third Point Management also criticized UTC for what he saw as a pivot
from their initial strategy of focus and accountability. In his letter to UTC shareholders, he pointed
out management’s timing of the purchase as Raytheon is trading at a historically high multiple of
13x 2019 EV/EBITDA (Loeb, 2019). Overall, we can see there is concern among UTC
shareholders that the company is turning into an unwieldy conglomerate which would reflect
negatively in its trading multiples. The combined company will however, only trade at a discount
if the market believes there to be a lack of synergies.
Despite these concerns, Raytheon Chief Financial Officer Toby O’Brien asserted the
combined entity would be more resilient as the aerospace and defense industries do not always
move in tandem. These markets can be considered complementary to each other as they have
similar capital requirements and margins (See Figure 12). Raytheon’s defence business is certainly
a source of stability as government contracts have not slowed as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic (Sutherland, 2020).

POST-MERGER INTEGRATION
COVID-19 Impact
After the merger was completed in April of 2020, the new Raytheon Technologies had the
misfortune of beginning its tenure at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, the
company has experienced revenue declines in all of its segments. This new challenging market
landscape will create difficulties for the new company as it consolidates. The pandemic had also
impacted valuation, as the merged entity became “more expensive” on a relative basis – perhaps
reflecting higher market expectations. Figure 13 demonstrates RTX is currently trading at a higher
multiple compared to April and also at a premium compared to the former UTC and RTN.
Raytheon Technologies, along with other aircraft manufacturers, such as Boeing and Airbus, will
likely see higher costs in 2021 as lower volume hurts economies of scale.
Figure 13: Relative Valuation
20

Despite trading at a higher multiple, certain cost synergies have not materialized. RTN’s
research budget as a percent of revenue is higher than its predecessors at 4.7% of revenues. This
is the same case with COGS, at 87.4% of revenue which is substantially higher than that of the
previous RTN and UTC (See Figure 14). This may be as a result of a lack of economies of scale
and margin compression as a result of the pandemic. Of course, no definitive conclusions can be
made, as management expects the cost synergies to emerge after four years.

VALUATION
Fairness Opinion
Further, we decided to provide a fairness opinion through contrasting the terms of the actual
merger relative to our valuation of both Raytheon and United technologies. Indeed, we have valued
Raytheon close to the implied transaction price, at $223.59 and United Technologies at $111.36.
Our valuation accounted for divestitures, as well as synergies from the merger. Synergies were
forecasted according to management guidance and broken down into both cost and revenue
segments, with the integration costs netted from cost synergies.
22
Figure 15: Quantified Synergies
Although Raytheon’s share price closed at $116.96 as at the merger date, United
Technologies’ exchange ratio of ~2.335x implies a share price of $223.08. That being said, we
believe Raytheon was adequately valued by United. However, we do not believe United
technologies, valued at $86.01 per share, was fairly priced, given our intrinsic valuation of
$111.36. If United had fairly priced themselves, they could have compressed their exchange ratio
to ~1.81x, providing decreased short-term dilution to EPS and overall increased value creation for
shareholders.
Relative to our scenario with a ~1.81x exchange ratio, we can see the difference in EPS
accretion/dilution vs the realized merger scenario. EBITDA improvement is constant regardless of
the transaction structure, with notable increases in the third year and a loss in the first year given
integration costs.
Figure 16: Accretion/Dilution Analysis
23
This structure would have also provided United Technologies' shareholders with increased levels
of ownership in the pro forma entity.
Figure 17: Ownership Analysis
The merger did provide some notable benefits, namely increased balance sheet capacity
through improved Debt/EBITDA, given Raytheon’s low amount of leverage. This could allow the
newly formed Raytheon Technologies to increase leverage in line with United Technologies’
acquisition heavy growth strategy.
Figure 18: Leverage Analysis
24
Overall, it does appear that the transaction was completed in Raytheon’s favour. The timing
and viability of the acquisition are also in question. Although the synergies are viable, their present
value when added to UTC’s stand alone share price only adds ~$2 per share, which questions the
attractiveness of the merger. For the timing, it seems like a strategic error to take on a large
acquisition of this type during a restructuring process (referring to United’s divestitures). This
might have overwhelmed management and led them to undervaluing UTC as at the closing of the
merger.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the strategic rationale underpinning the merger appeared sound, yet the timing
and pricing of the acquisition were questionable. The exposure to defense revenue streams that
United Technologies gained through acquiring Raytheon allowed the firm to diversify its top line,
limiting the effects that the pandemic had on the commercial aerospace industry. The pandemic
also minimized the effects of cost cutting synergies and the overall quantitative value add of the
synergies remains relatively modest. That being said, we believe United Technologies should have
25
re-considered the timing of the merger given the restructuring they were going through. Despite
shareholder approval of the deal, UTC’s management shifted away from its strategy of becoming
a leaner, more efficient entity following the divestitures. Additionally, re-considering the timing
of the merger may have allowed them to value themselves more in line with their intrinsic value
and provided them with a better transaction structure, increasing total value to shareholders. In
short, although we believe UTC’s reasoning behind the merger did make sense, the company
would have been better off re-considering the timing of the merger.
