Description
Why waste time making your own Leveraged Buyout Model?

A leveraged buyout model shows what happens when a private equity firm or private investors acquire a company using a combination of equity and debt, and then sells it in 3-5 years. Leveraged buyouts are similar to normal M&A deals, but in an LBO you assume that the buyer is a financial investor and sells the target in the future.

Instructions:
* Input major inputs on Summary worksheet (all inputs in blue).
* Input company historical financial information on Historical Financials worksheet (all inputs in blue).
* Input assumptions for future periods on Assumptions worksheet (all inputs in blue).
* Optional assumptions on Projected Financials worksheet (all inputs in blue).
* Optional assumptions on Return Analysis worksheet (all inputs in blue).
* Model assumes 100% acquisition of target company.

* Model assumes no step-up in asset values.
* Model assumes no amortization of goodwill from acquisition.
