EBITDA Adjustment Language Library — 123 Model Report Paragraphs with the Evidence Each Needs

EBITDA Adjustment Language Library

Description
123 adjustments, each with a paragraph of model report language ready to paste and tailor. 110 pages.

EVERY ENTRY GIVES YOU FOUR THINGS
  • The fact pattern that triggers the adjustment
  • 60 to 140 words of drafting written in the reporting voice, with a consistent placeholder convention
  • Three to five items of evidence the file needs before the adjustment is defensible
  • Two to four things the other side will challenge

EIGHT FAMILIES
Non-recurring and non-operating items, accounting cut-off and out-of-period, owner and related-party normalizations, pro forma and run-rate, carve-out and standalone, net working capital, cash and financial debt, and debt-like items.

PART NINE IS THE DOUBLE-COUNT MAP
Fifteen economic items that appear in both the earnings bridge and the working capital target or the debt-like schedule, set out in one table. Double-counting between the three is the most common substantive error in this work, and it is always found.
