Exit Strategies: What Are Your Options?
401 Ways to Prepare for the Future
by Glenn Van Noy
YOU HAVE NO OPTIONS IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN Do you plan to take your business public? Pass it on to the next generation? Sell out? Merge with another company? Or maybe just milk it for all it’s worth? Regardless of the exit path you choose, you owe it to yourself to find out what your business is worth and what you can do to build value. The biggest mistake any business owner can make is to not plan for this eventuality.
DETERMINING THE VALUE OF YOUR BUSINESS Swiss Avenue Partners, a consulting firm specializing in mid-market companies whose owners are considering a merger, acquisition, sale or succession within the next 5 years, developed the following formula for determining the “Total Enterprise Value” of your business: TEV = EBITDA x MoE
Peter Sieffert, a Swiss Avenue Partner, translates the formula as the Total Enterprise Value of a business is equal to its Earnings (net profit) Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization times its Multiple of Earning Factor. Sieffert goes on to outline a four step action plan for any business owner who wants to create a high value business in two to five years. • • • •
Creating lifelong financial health also means planning for greater longevity and potential healthcare needs as you get older. 401(k) plans can be a powerful tool in promoting financial security in retirement, attracting and keeping valuable employees. The NTMA Plan is sophisticated, simple and flexible. The initial set-up is painless. Plan administration is hassle free with 24/7 guidance and support for employees. If your company doesn’t offer 401(k)s to your employees or would like information on the new NTMA 401(k) Plans, please call Glenn Van Noy at 760-419-1393 to explore which NTMA 401(k) Plan would be right for your company.
Increase profitability. Decrease risk. Systematize the business. Remove yourself from the position of owner/operator to owner.
You might think this action plan is basically just plain ol’ good business. But realistically, how would your business rate in each of the above categories? Could your business be more profitable? Are there blatantly obvious and hidden risks to your business? If you walked out tomorrow, are there documented systems in place that would create an environment where a qualified individual could step in and pick up where you left off? How your business rates on these questions will determine your Multiple of Earnings Factor.
THE “WHAT IFS” OF MAXIMIZING BUSINESS VALUE If you want to sell your business – great, the higher the value, the higher the selling price. If you want to buy a business and your business is highly profitable and low on risk, the more likely you are to get a loan and the less you will give up to investors. If you want to pass your business on to the next generation – the more sustainable the business, the more likely its success in the future. And what if the next generation doesn’t want the business... as Peter Sieffert says, “You’ll make more money along the way, sleep better with less risk, and, most importantly, you will have options. That’s what it’s all about isn’t it?” Peter Sieffert, located in the San Diego office of Partner of Swiss Avenue Partners, will be conducting a free “Exit Strategy Workshop” for the NTMA San Diego Chapter on August 21, 2014.

First Word PRESIDENT’S LETTER
Happy Summer, P.N. Readers! In the immortal words of our very own Alice Cooper – “School’s Out for Summer”. Some of us may be taking much deserved vacations and spending wonderful family time with our children and grandchildren. Others may be working as usual. Whatever your summer plans I hope you plan to attend the 2nd Annual . Southwest . .. .. Regional Conference! We had such a great event last year here in Phoenix that our planning team has put together another event in August being hosted in Dallas by the North Texas Chapter of NTMA. I know it will still be hot, but it’s a different kind of hot. LOL. So if you haven’t registered yet there’s still time! The month of May in Arizona was very exciting. We had the successful premier broadcast of the LaunchPoint series on COX7, produced by EdgeFactor, and supported by a number of great partners including COX Communications, Arizona Commerce Authority, Arizona Department of Education and national machine tooling sponsors like Sandvick and HAAS among others. If you missed it PLEASE give it a look on the COX7 website @ www.edgefactor.com/ edgefactorshow. This series of 12 shows presents a terrific message to our young people, parents, educators and public officials highlighting great career opportunities in manufacturing. The show is flashy, hi-tech, and very human in its story telling. It’s a superb product by Jeremy Bout and EdgeFactor. The ATMA had another great dinner meeting in May with guest speakers Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal and Chuck Trautman of Arizona Marketing Association. Mr. Huppenthal spoke about the relationship of education working with industry on Career and Technical Education and filling the skills gap we’re facing. Mr. Trautman gave us many ideas on re-energizing our marketing effort s to help bring more business in to our shops. What excellent content and presentations by both gentlemen. I’d like to remind our P.N. readers that these are perfect examples of the types of speakers we seek out diligently in our respective chapters of the NTMA to bring value to our members. You don’t know what you missed until you miss it! Plan to participate and attend an upcoming meeting. After the summer fun is over it will back to school! What better time to present manufacturing to our future employees, fresh and rested from summer vacation, than to participate in Manufacturing Month! In some states manufacturing is highlighted during a Manufacturing Day or series of days, but in Arizona we’ll be using the whole month of October. Check with your respective chambers or educators about what’s being held in your communities. As shop owners and managers find ways you can support these events whether with shop tours or through sponsoring. Expect to see more details on how each of us can support this effort. Thank you for your time. I hope to see you at an upcoming industry event. As always, continued to success to each of you. DAVID LAIR Vice President, Dynamic Machine & Fabrication Corp. and President, ATMA

Policy Matters BECOME A VOICE FOR CHANGE
A Regulatory Agenda by OMAR S. NASHASHIBI
Twice a year, federal agencies release release to the public their regulatory agenda, which includes an update on their activities and forecasts coming regulations from the government. The Friday before the Memorial Day weekend, the Department of Labor quietly released its Semiannual Unified Agenda spelling out what the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) has in store for manufacturers this year. Those of us in Washington who focus on regulations anxiously await this document every spring and fall. It provides us an insight into the priorities of federal regulators. It also helps the industry plan, and potentially adapt, to new guidelines the government issues on a range of topics from emissions controls to combustible dust to workplace safety procedures. The implications of these rules for manufacturers can run in the millions. Through the first five months of this year, federal regulators issued 1,352 final rules covering 31,255 pages. A study conducted by the Small Business Administration’s Office of Advocacy in September 2010 shed some insight into the burdens
manufacturers face from federal regulators. The annual cost of federal regulations in the U.S. increased to more than $1.75 trillion in 2008. Small businesses faced an average annual cost of $10,585 per employee due to regulations. Meanwhile, the Department of Labor Spring 2014 Semiannual Unified Agenda brought a couple surprises, some unpleasant, and a few welcome delays. The most significant of the announcements surrounds the delay of an OSHA proposed rule requiring employers to implement an Injury and Illness Prevention Program (I2P2), also known in some states as Accident Prevention Programs, Comprehensive Safety and Health Programs, or Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. The proposal will require written programs involving the “planning, implementing, evaluating, and improving processes and activities that protect employee safety and health.” The proposal seeks to hold employers responsible for identifying and correcting hazards in their own workplaces. Currently, 34 U.S. states have established laws or regulations designed to require or
fyi: The annual cost of federal regulations in the U.S. increased to more than $1.75 trillion in 2008.
encourage injury and illness prevention programs, including 15 states with mandatory regulations for all or some employers. When the Obama Administration took office in 2009, the new head of OSHA listed the I2P2 rule as his top priority. OSHA began stakeholders meetings 2010 and said they would convene a required panel to review the impact of the rule on small businesses in January 2012. However, in the face of significant opposition from industry, including manufacturers, OSHA delayed the I2P2 rule and had planned to move forward in September 2014. This latest announcement in the Regulatory Agenda is a significant development as it downgraded I2P2 to “Long-term Action” status. Reports indicate that OSHA may have faced difficulty proving that a significant risk exists in American workplaces, a requirement for such a wide ranging regulation. On a less positive note, OSHA will continue to move forward with the electronic recordkeeping requirements rule. The Administration is trying to require businesses with 20 or more employees to file incident/accident reports electronically on an annual basis (those with more than 250 employees file quarterly) which they will make public. NTMA joined coalition partners and filed comments in February with OSHA opposing the rule. The Agenda released announces that OSHA plans to issue the final rule in March 2015. continued on page 06

Policy Matters
A Regulatory Agenda continued from page 04
In a shift in focus, OSHA will focus more on silica standards and downgraded the status for the combustible dust rule to the prerule stage. This rule affects metalworking manufacturers as combustible dust is generally defined as any fine material that has the ability to catch fire and explode when mixed with air. OSHA delayed the small business panel review from April to December for a proposed rule which would develop a combustible dust standard for general industry. Ninety days following completion of the small business panel, the agency may issue the rule. A study of combustible dust hazards in late 2006 identified 281 combustible dust incidents between 1980 and 2005 that killed 119 workers and injured another 718. In 2005 and 2008, OSHA issued guidance
many of the regulations issued by the Administration run contrary to comments from the White House that they want to support manufacturing in America. Manufacturers need the ability to plan for Outside the Department of Labor, on June their businesses and know by which rules 2nd, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a proposal to reduce they must play. If nothing else, the Semiannual Regulatory Agenda at least lets carbon dioxide emissions from existing industry know what their government has power plants by up to 30 percent by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. Many Midwestern in store for them. Democrats and most Republicans immediately criticized the regulations, which OMAR NASHASHIBI is a founding even the EPA estimates will increase the partner at The Franklin Partnership, LLP, cost of electricity. a bi-partisan government relations firm retained by the National Tooling and NTMA and manufacturers are not arguing Machining Association in Washington, D.C. against all regulations.

L A E R E H T T E R C S E S E S OF SUCC BY TYLAN MILLER
As a gearhead in a former life, I was always amazed how two identical Chevy V-8s of the same size could have drastically different horsepower output. A standard Chevy V-8 out of the box might produce 275 horsepower. That same engine with some fine tuning, adjustments, and expertise can produce up to 400 horsepower and more. I have the privilege of spending the majority of my time inside our clients’ businesses. While generally my focus is financial in nature, I see a wide variety of cultures and leadership styles. I see how businesses make money and how businesses lose money. As with the Chevy V-8s, I’m always intrigued by those that seem to be fine tuned and operating at their maximum capacity. The secret sauce of most high performers seems to always be strong culture. While I may not be an expert on organizational structure, what I can tell you is this: out of the dozens of companies that I visit on a regular basis, those with strong vibrant cultures usually have strong vibrant profits. Their challenges are usually centered around managing strong growth while companies with an ‘average’ culture deal with ‘above average’ challenges. Culture is a funny thing. It is hard to pinpoint one specific cause, it can’t be bought, there’s no return on investment calculation. It’s squishy, hard to measure, hard to tell if it’s getting better or getting worse. Changes in culture do not have an immediate effect on the bottom line, for better or for worse. Even the best measuring tools can’t tell you if culture is high or low. However, there are some core tenets that I consistently see in organizations with a strong culture. continued on page 14

THE REAL SECRET OF SUCCESS OF SUCCESS
continued from page 13
Visionary Leadership There are managers, there are leaders, and then there are visionary leaders. What distinguishes the visionary leader is the uncanny ability to focus and execute on the organization’s dreams, yet manage the day to day grind that drives the necessary cash flow to stay in business. Every organization has different personality types. There’s the Type A’s, the Type B’s, the taskmasters, and the soldiers. The visionary leader has the ability to get all of these different personality types to buy into an idea. They can lead others like the pied piper and get them all believing in an idea that is larger than themselves. The visionary leader uses culture to align the day to day activities and interactions of team members with the overall business strategies. Be Deliberate A focus on culture does not come naturally for most businesses. Those with a strong culture put extra focus on culture. Often times as I walk the halls or the shop floor I observe employees’ workspaces. In organizations with a strong culture, I typically see common signs, sayings, and other ‘culture paraphernalia’. These are indicators that the company makes a deliberate effort to mold the culture. These organizations are purposeful in driving their culture rather than having its culture driven by other forces and influences. Be Hard On Process Not on People When things don’t go as planned, human nature dictates that we must place blame on someone else. We love nothing more than to point the finger, identify ‘who’ is the problem not ‘what’ is the problem. Nothing does more to degrade morale than a culture of blaming people. Companies that have strong cultures have an aura of assuming positive intent when it comes to the human factors and are relentless in their quest for continuous improvement when it comes to process issues. Collaborate – Strong cultures foster and promote collaboration. Collaborative work environments are the spawning ground for the ideas that drive progress and problem solving. Collaboration is more than being in the same room together. It involves breaking down traditional hierarchical business structures that prevent real change.
Most companies give collaboration the obligatory lip service and the standard suggestion box. In a true collaborative work environment, free thought and ideas are encouraged and celebrated at all levels. More importantly, there are processes in place to implement the ideas that are offered. Nothing stifles collaboration more than a company ignoring a good idea. Remember Harry S. Truman’s famous quote: “It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you don’t care who gets the credit”. Provide Opportunity Most business owners I know agree that the single largest challenge they have is finding and keeping good employees. Naturally, the high performers will master their tasks quickly, and if they are not given opportunities to advance, they move on to where they see more opportunity. Providing opportunity is more than just promotional titles. It is about culturally embracing the entrepreneurial spirit that most high performers have. It’s having a culture of inclusiveness and a cultural environment that encourages and recognizes their investment of time and energy into the organization. The result of deliberately providing opportunity is truly a win-win for everyone involved. Strong culture is the engine that maximizes the true potential of any organization. Just like a finely tuned V-8 engine will outperform a factory engine, a finely tuned organization focusing on culture will outperform other companies. Building an organization and a team focused on culture will certainly pay dividends to you and your company.

A PrecisionNews SPECIAL EDUCATION UPDATE
ItUp BY DANTE O. FIERROS
The “Arizona Skills Standards / Career Pathways” initiative of the Arizona Chamber Foundation / Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry has morphed into what we know now as the “Arizona Manufacturing Partnership” (AMP), after many months of collaboration between industry groups, educational entities, state agencies and other associations (i.e. ATMA). AMP is an industry-led group that quickly used the overwhelming data that accurately depicts the need for qualified workers in our manufacturing arena and the current shortfall or gaps in our skills levels, identifying three, key goals which needed focus and action in order to support manufacturing needs. continued on page 18

A PrecisionNews SPECIAL EDUCATION UPDATE
‘AMP’ItUp continued from page 17
THE FIRST GOAL The first goal is to Promote the world-class image of manufacturing to schools, teachers, parents and elected officials. AMP and its partnering companies, associations and state agencies have worked together to “launch” the Cox Communications/Edge Factor “Launch Point” television series of programs aimed at addressing manufacturing’s image issue with students, educators and parents. See this link http://www.cox7.com/launchpoint/adrenaline-junkie for a view of the first program aired last month. Two major players in this effort included the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) and the works of Rosalyn Boxer and various education partners (ADE and the community college system) coordinated by Marlo Loria of the Mesa Public School District.
workforce needs. A very proactive group of machining companies in Tucson is making giant strides in this regard. Working closely with Jim Mize in the One Stop state system and with the leadership of Donny Theriault, President of Industrial Tool and Engineering (an ATMA member and AMP Industry Committee member), this group has created the Southern Arizona Manufacturing Partnership, or SAMP. In the north, Julie Pastrick, President and CEO of the Greater Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce, has established the Northern Arizona Manufacturing Partnership (NAMP). Those who know Julie and her efforts know that she is accustomed to making all of her projects major successes.
Another resource currently in the planning stages is to take management control of the Manufacturing Institute’s “Dream It. Do It.” campaign in Arizona, which communicates to our young people the many options available for great career opportunities within manufacturing. Support of “Manufacturing Day” is another key project undertaken by AMP and, as you know, Governor Brewer has declared October “Manufacturing Month,” underscoring Arizona’s commitment to manufacturing in general and the need for better industry/ education/student interface. In this regard, our ATMA leadership has stepped up to take a major role with the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Arizona Commerce Authority in making this year’s Manufacturing Month the best ever. Expect to hear more about this from President David Lair in the coming weeks. THE SECOND GOAL The second goal is to Encourage education to provide curriculum that leads to skill development and qualified workers with nationally recognized, industry-validated credentials. For those of us in machining manufacturing, this would be the support of NIMS certifications and all those entities that provide this certification for our students. AMP has met with Chancellor Lee Lambert (Pima County) and Chancellor Rufus Glasper (Maricopa County), plus other senior leaders within Arizona’s community college system, to push forth this need and agenda. At last month’s ATMA monthly meeting, you heard state Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal’s very welcomed comments regarding his efforts to support our industry from the perspective of his K -12 responsibilities. This was “music to our ears,” as you can imagine. THE THIRD GOAL The third goal is to Serve as the liaison between manufacturing needs and education articulation. This is an ongoing effort. AMP is gathering momentum in serving as a collective voice for the manufacturing industry by recognizing and identifying regional manufacturing

You can see where this is going. It’s going towards a good, coordinated effort of “connecting the dots” between manufacturing and education. Here are some key players that support our efforts: National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) Manufacturing Institute (MI) Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry / Arizona Chamber Foundation Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) Arizona Department of Education (ADE) Arizona Board of Regents State community college chancellors Arizona Manufacturers Council (AMC) Arizona Tooling and Machining Association (ATMA) Southern Arizona Manufacturing Partnership (SAMP) Northern Arizona Manufacturing Partnership (NAMP) Science Foundation Arizona (SFAz) Plus many more There is no cost to participate. All we ask is your support and good guidance. Want to learn more? Want to participate in this growing initiative and effort? Contact me.

PrecisionNews // NTMA INITIATIVES
How Can NTMA Help You Grow Your Business? Profitability grows when revenue increases and costs are controlled. NTMA can help you with both. Though most of our members are small- to medium-sized companies, the power of the association can help you do business like a large corporation. REVENUE GROWTH • We organize regular business-to-business purchasing fairs, designed to operate like speed dating for suppliers. We invite 100 or more buyers from large companies and then give you opportunities to briefly pitch your products and services. As a result attendees leave with good contacts and solid leads, leading to increased business. Companies have been awarded millions of dollars in contracts as a direct result of these events. • We offer a program called Members First, designed to help members turn to each other to meet needs. Perhaps your next customer is an NTMA peer? Or perhaps an NTMA member would make an excellent vendor for you? Members First helps make the connections. • By interacting with fellow members in your local chapter, you may discover new business opportunities, or ways to work together with peers to increase business or market yourselves cooperatively. COST CONTROL • We offer discount programs with several large suppliers (including Grainger, UPS and Yellow Freight), allowing you to leverage NTMA’s combined buying power for your own benefit. • Our business insurance program keeps more money in your pocket by offering a necessary product in a low-overhead, notfor-profit manner. Our decision resources allow you to be smarter about how you use your resources, resulting in greater efficiencies and lower costs. Learn more at: www.ntma.org/initiatives

Emergency Action Plan by JAMIE BEAUVAIS, Arizona Safety & Emergency Consultants LLC
Customers expect delivery of products or services on time. If there is a significant delay, customers may go to a competitor.
The first step when developing an emergency response plan is to conduct a risk assessment to identify potential emergency scenarios. An understanding of what can happen will enable you to determine resource requirements and to develop plans and procedures to prepare your business. The emergency plan should be consistent with your performance objectives. At the very least, every facility should develop and implement an emergency plan for protecting employees, visitors, contractors and anyone else in the facility. This part of the emergency plan is called “protective actions for life safety” and includes building evacuation (“fire drills”), sheltering from severe weather such as tornadoes, “shelter-in-place” from an exterior airborne hazard such as a chemical release and lockdown. fyi: Lockdown is protective action when faced A plan should be with an act of violence.
established and resources should be on hand, or quickly, available to prepare a facility.
When an emergency occurs, the first priority is always life safety. The second priority is the stabilization of the incident. Many actions can be taken to stabilize an incident and minimize potential damage. First aid and CPR by trained employees can save lives. Use of fire extinguishers by trained employees can extinguish a small fire. Containment of a small chemical spill and supervision of building utilities and systems can minimize damage to a building and help prevent environmental damage.

Some severe weather events can be forecast hours before they arrive, providing valuable time to protect a facility. A plan should be established and resources should be on hand, or quickly, available to prepare a facility. The plan should also include a process for damage assessment, salvage, protection of undamaged property and cleanup following an incident. These actions to minimize further damage and business disruption are examples of property conservation. Up to 40% of businesses affected by a natural or human-caused disaster never reopen. (Source: Insurance Information Institute) News travels fast and perceptions often differ from reality. Businesses need to reach out to customers and other stakeholders quickly An employer must have an emergency action plan whenever an OSHA standard 1910.38(a) in this part requires one. The requirements in this section apply to each such emergency action plan. Under 1910.38(b) an emergency action plan must be in writing, kept in the workplace, and available to employees for review. However, an employer with 10 or fewer employees may communicate the plan orally to employees.
