How would an asset write-up or write-down affect an LBO model?
You calculate goodwill, other intangibles, and the rest of the write-ups in the same way,
and then the balance sheet adjustments (subtracting cash, adding in capitalized
financing fees, writing up assets, wiping out goodwill, adjusting the deferred tax
assets/liabilities, adding in new debt). You also assume that the exisiting shareholders'
equity is wiped out and replaced by the equity the private equity firm contributes to buy
the company. And you are not combining the companies' balance sheets
how do we calculated the IRR for the debt investors?
For debt investors, you need to calculate the interest and principal payments they
receive from the company each year. Then you simple use the IRR function in excel
and start with the negative amount of the original debt for Year 0, assume the interest
rate and principal payments each year are your cash flows and then assume that the
remaining debt balance in the final year is your exit value.
Who typically receives a higher IRR, equity or debt investors?
