Course description
Transaction Comparables and LBO Analysis Fundamentals (1 day)
Transaction Comparables
Participants are introduced to preparing a transaction multiples matrix using LTM earnings. The rationale and components of control premium and its impact on valuation are discussed. A comparable transaction analysis is performed on the case industry.
LBO Analysis Fundamentals
Participants are introduced to the basic concepts underlying leveraged buyouts. The session starts by establishing why private equity firms can create value through leveraged buyouts and how the levered valuation fits into the valuation roadmap. Using a simple free cash flow forecast, participants establish how much a financial buyer could pay for the target company. Participants then build a simple LBO model.
