Leveraged Buyout LBO Model - DCF

A comprehensive LBO model in Excel, of business acquisition

Description

A comprehensive LBO model of business acquisition with DCF Analysis, IRR, WACC, CAPM, Ratio Analysis with 10-Year Projections of Financial Statements and Cash Flows.

A leveraged buyout (LBO) is an acquisition of a company or a segment of a company funded mostly with debt. A financial buyer (e.g. private equity fund) invests a small amount of equity (relative to the total purchase price) and uses leverage (debt or other non-equity sources of financing) to fund the remainder of the consideration paid to the seller.

The LBO model provides a current valuation to an investor based on future cash flows and financial projections, helping the investor to determine a fair consideration for the business he intends to acquire. The aim is to enable an investor determine a risk-adjusted Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of the target company after considering the multiple components of financing and analyzing the key financial ratios. A leveraged buyout is the act of purchasing a business or company using leverage and a professional financial model is vital to consider the various aspects and scenarios to evaluate the transaction.
