It includes a deep dive into the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and explores LBO models, detailing how returns are influenced by EBITDA expansion, debt repayment, and multiple expansion. Key criteria for an ideal LBO candidate are highlighted, supplemented by real-world LBO examples. The deck touches on LBO financing intricacies, including PIK Interest and covenants, further elaborating on the IRR and strategies to optimize it. The deck concludes with a step by step LBO model walkthrough and concludes with two example questions.
