Description
Overview of the LBOAn LBO model of leveraged buyout shows what all takes place when a company is acquired by a private equity firm by using a combination of equity or cash along with debt which is then sold off within a period of 3-5 years. By taking such a step, the aim of the private equity firm is to earn a return of 20 -25 percent which is far in excess of the "historical average annual return" in case of the stock markets. The leveraged buyouts are more or less same to the normal deals of merger and acquisitions; the only difference is that in a leveraged buyout, the assumption is that the buyer will be selling the target in future.The working of the Concept of Leveraged BuyOut and LBO ModelThere exists a similarity between purchasing a house and leveraged buyout as a combination of down payment as well as a mortgage can be made use of. In the case of both these transactions, there is saving of money as a small amount is put down in cash and the remaining is borrowed. In case of the leveraged buyout, the "down payment" is known as the equity or the cash whereas the "mortgage" is known as the debt. The debt is utilised by the private equity firms for boosting its returns. If everything else is equivalent, it means that if the private equity firm makes use of more leverage or debt, the firm is likely to earn a higher rate of return on the investment that has been made by it.As far as the real LBO model is concerned, the repayment of debt is made by the companies over a period of time which boosts the returns of the private equity firm even more. The numbers show a significant improvement with leverage due to the following reasons –What money is worth today is higher than what it will be worth in future- This means that earning higher amount of money 5 years from now will be great, however, it is much better t=if that same amount of money is saved today because of money's time value.Earning a higher amount of return on a money of a smaller amount is much more easy– It is difficult for the portfolio managers with thousands of crores under management to earn rates of return that are high, however for individual investors who have for example made investments of less than one crore, it is much easier to earn returns that are higher. This is the reason why leverage is used by the private equity firms. It goes on to boost their returns in a significant way by bringing reductions in the upfront investment.Building a LBO ModelLBO Modeling is a process that can be divided into 8 steps. These steps consist of –Determination of the price of purchase as well as the amount of equity and debt which will be requiredThe debt tranches are assigned with the repayment percentages, interest rates and percentage totalsA table of "Sources and Uses" is created for tracking the ways the funds will be used in the dealThe income statement projections are built on the basis of the assumptions for revenue as well as for expensesCalculation of the "Free Cash Flow" is done along with the cash that is available for the repayment of debtThe debt schedule is completed and the mandatory as well as the optional repayments are determinedThe debt schedule is then linked to the cash flow statement and also to the income statementThe investor returns are then calculated and the sensitivity tables are createdIdeal Candidates for the Leveraged BuyOutThe "ideal" candidate for the LBO Model should –Have cash flows that are stable as well as predictable for repayment of debtBe undervalued with respect to the industry peers (lower price of purchase)Be a business that is associated with low risks (repayment of debts)The need for ongoing investments like CapEx should not be muchHave the capability of cutting costs and increasing marginsHave a management team that is strongHave a solid asset base for using as collateral for debtOf all the points the first one is of utmost significance as nobody will lend to a company as well as finance an LBO model if the cash flow of the company is unpredictable.LBO Modeling Course DescriptionThe course of the LBO Modeling is divided into various sections as well as subsections in the following way –LBO Analysis OverviewAssumptions for the transactionDebt AssumptionsSources as well as usesPopulating of the historical valuesBuild-up of RevenueRevenue Build-upCost SheetCalculations of the cost sheetManagement of Working CapitalManagement of working capitalManagement of working capitalRatios as well as AssumptionsDepreciation and AmortizationCapex – Base EquationDepreciation ScheduleCalculation of DepreciationSchedule of AmortizationLinkages to Financial StatementsLinkage of the income statementLinkage of the balance sheetLinkage of the cash flow statementEquity Schedule of the ShareholdersEquity Schedule of the ShareholdersSchedule of DebtSchedule of DebtCompletion of the Missing LinksIRR and Sensitivity AnalysisCalculation of IRRSensitivity AnalysisWhat are the requirements/pre-requisites?The main requirements for the LBO Modeling course consist of the following –A computer that has an internet connectionBasic introductory knowledge of working in excelBasic introductory knowledge related to accountingA general exposure to corporate finance will be of help although it is not essential to have such an exposureTarget Audience for this LBO Model TrainingThe target audience for the training of LBO Modeling includes the following –Novice students who have interest in pursuing a career in the financial sectorWorking ProfessionalsAny other person who may have interest in undertaking the LBO Modeling courseLBO Model FAQs - General QuestionsI am new to this course of LBO Modeling.
