Advanced LBO Modelling Course

 Location: London (Central)

This course covers the key elements of modelling in an LBO analysis. Participants will value the target business using historic data and available equity research. The valuation process will incorporate absolute and relative valuation techniques. Once the target business has been valued, participants will be introduced to LBO analysis and construct an LBO model.

The LBO modelling analysis will be developed by assessing the debt capacity of the business to determine the range of capital structures available for the transaction and how credit analysis is used in the LBO modelling process.

The participants will then cover more complex LBO instruments such as warrants and PIKs and how to calculate returns to each of the equity and debt providers.

Participants will model a more complex capital structure and calculate exit values and the IRRs generated by each investor. Using the integrated model participants will then analyse various scenarios (management case, base case, payout case) to derive the optimum financing structure taking into account the financial constraints of each investor.

The participants will undertake an adjusted present value (“APV”) analysis to determine where value has been created in the LBO transaction, using an APV model and finally look at recovery analysis for a failed LBO transaction.

Case Study: The participants will use a variety of case studies and exercises during the two days, based on publicly quoted and generic businesses.

Participants will be required to bring a laptop and a calculator to the course.
