Questions and Correct Answers
What are the primary functions of LBO analysis? ✅On the financing side, the banker
uses LBO analysis to help craft a viable financing structure for the target, which
encompasses the amount, type, and terms of debt, as well as the equity contribution. In
an M&A advisory context, the banker uses LBO analysis to determine an implied
valuation range for a given target in a potential LBO sale based on achieving acceptable
returns.
How is LBO analysis used to analyze and craft financing structure? ✅The output
enables the banker to analyze a given financing structure on the basis of cash flow
generation, debt repayment, credit statistics, and investment returns over a projection
period.
Who chooses the preferred financing structure for a given LBO? ✅The sponsor
chooses—often a compilation of the best terms from proposals solicited from several
banks.
How is LBO analysis used to determine valuation? ✅The valuation output is premised
on assumptions for financial projections, purchase price, and financing structure, as well
as exit multiple and year (assuming an exit via a sale). Therefore, sensitivity analysis is
performed on these key value drivers to produce a range of IRRs used to frame
valuation for the target. Sponsors typically target 20%+ IRRs in assessing acquisition
opportunities and determine valuation accordingly.
What IRR threshold has historically served as the standard for sponsors in considering
an LBO? ✅20%+
