Abstract | Les actifs incorporels nouvellement acquis sont pleinement comptabilisés lors de regroupements d’entreprises (FASB, 2001). La pertinence informationnelle pour les analystes financiers des informations fournies sur les actifs incorporels à la suite de regroupements d’entreprises est examinée. La comptabilisation des actifs incorporels fait l’objet d’un débat entre les défenseurs d’une communication et d’une reconnaissance accrue et les défenseurs du régime actuel de communication principalement volontaire avec une reconnaissance limitée. Cet article vise à contribuer à ce débat. Nous étudions le contenu informationnel des informations publiées sur les actifs incorporels suite aux regroupements d’entreprises et à leur comptabilisation. A partir d’un échantillon manuellement collecté de 447 affectations de prix d’acquisition pour les transactions importantes réalisées entre 2002 et 2011 aux États-Unis, nous étudions les effets de la communication relative aux actifs incorporels sur les révisions des prévisions de résultats des analystes. Nous testons séquentiellement l’impact du niveau de communication sur les actifs incorporels total, ainsi que la communication de chaque élément du score de communication, avec et sans contrôle de la qualité de la transaction. Les informations fournies sont positivement associées à l’ampleur des révisions des prévisions des analystes, en particulier pour les transactions qui ont été reçues négativement par les acteurs de marché lors de leur première annonce (Bad Deals). Certains composants individuels des informations à fournir sont individuellement informatifs pour les analystes financiers, tels que la communication du montant d’actifs incorporels identifiés séparément ou des informations sur leur amortissement. L’écart d’acquisition est associé à une révision à la baisse des prévisions de résultats des analystes et confirme que l’écart d’acquisition est un indicateur du montant des surprix d’acquisition pour les analystes. Dans l’ensemble, nos résultats indiquent que les informations fournies et les montants relatifs aux actifs incorporels récemment acquis fournissent des informations pertinentes aux analystes financiers. Newly acquired intangibles in business combinations must be fully recognized (FASB 2001). We examine the relevance for financial analysts of disclosures about intangible assets following business combinations. Accounting for intangible assets is the subject of a debate between advocates of additional disclosures and recognition and defenders of the current mainly voluntary disclosure regime with limited recognition. We aim to contribute to this debate. We use a hand-collected sample of 447 purchase price allocations for material transactions completed between 2002 and 2011 in the US. We investigate the effects of intangible-related disclosures on revisions of analysts’ earnings forecasts. We sequentially test the impact of the aggregate level of disclosures on intangibles assets and of each component of an intangible-related disclosure score, conditional on the deal’s quality. We show that disclosures are positively associated with the magnitude of analysts’ forecast revisions, particularly for deals that were negatively received by market participants when initially announced (Bad Deals). Some individual components of disclosure are incrementally informative for financial analysts, such as the disclosure of separately identified intangible assets and information about their amortization. Goodwill is associated with downward revisions of analysts’ earnings forecasts, and confirms that goodwill is interpreted by analysts as informative about the extent of overpayment. Overall, our results indicate that the disclosures of newly acquired intangibles convey relevant information to financial analysts. |
