LEVERAGED BUYOUTS (LBOs) Prepared by: BRENDA E.PALAD Reference: Investment Banking by Joshua Rosenbaum (WILEY-FINANCE)
2
LEVERAGED BUYOUTS The acquisition of a company, division, business, or collection of assets (“target”) using debt to finance a large portion of the purchase price. LBOs are used by sponsors to acquire a broad range of business, including both public and private companies, as well as divisions and subsidiaries.
3
LEVERAGED BUYOUTS The ultimate goal is to realize an acceptable return on its equity investment upon exit, typically through sale or IPO of the target. Historically, sponsors sought 20%+ annualized return and an investment exit within five years. Traditionally, LBOs debt typically comprised 60% to 70% of the financing structure, with equity comprising of 30% to 40%.

Economics of LBOs Returns Analysis – Internal Rate of Return The primary metric by which sponsors gauge the attractiveness of a potential LBO, as well as the performance of their existing investment. IRR measures the total return on a sponsor’s equity investment, including any additional equity contribution made, or dividends received, during the investment horizon.
8
Economics of LBOs IRR is the discount rate that must be applied to the sponsor’s cash outflow and inflows during the investment horizon in order to produce a net present value of zero (NPV=0)
9
Economics of LBOs Returns Analysis – Cash Returns Amount of Cash receives versus capital contribution Example – Capital contribution is P250M and receives P750M at the end of the investment horizon, THE CASH RETURN IS 3x
10
How LBOs Generate Returns LBOs generate returns through a combination of debt repayment and growth in enterprise value. Examples show how each of these scenarios independently increases equity value, assuming sponsor purchases a company for P1B, using P750M debt financing and equity contribution of P250M.
11
How LBOs Generate Returns EX.1-Debt Repayment Purchase Price P1B Equity Contribution 250M Debt Repayment 500M Sales Price (Y5) P1B ----------------------------------------- Equity Contribution P250M Increases in Equity Value: Increase in Entr Value 0 Decrease in Debt fr Rep 500M ------------ Equity value at Exit P750M IRR = 24.6%, Cash Returns = 3x Ex.2-Enterprise Value Growth Purchase Price P1B Equity Contribution 250M Debt Repayment 0 Sales Price (Y5) P1.5B ----------------------------------------- Equity Contribution P250M Increases in Equity Value: Increase in Entr Value 500M Decrease in Debt fr Rep 0 ------------ Equity value at Exit P750M IRR = 24.6%, Cash Returns = 3x
12
How Leveraged is Used to Enhance Returns 75% Equity, 25% Debt Purchase Price P1B Equity Contribution 750M Cost of Debt 8% Cumulative FCF (after debt service) 250 Sales Price (Y5) P1.5B ------------------------------------------------------- EQUITY VALUE & RETURNS Equity Contribution P750M Increases in Equity Value: Increase in Entr Value 500M Decrease in Debt fr Rep 250M ------------ Equity value at Exit P1,500M IRR = 14.9%, Cash Returns = 2x 25% Equity/75% Debt Purchase Price P1B Equity Contribution 250M Cost of Debt 8% Cum. FCF (after debt service 118M Sales Price (Y5) P1.5B -------------------------------------------------- EQUITY VALUE & RETURNS Equity Contribution P250M Increases in Equity Value: Increase in Entr Value 500M Decrease in Debt fr Rep 118M ------------ Equity value at Exit P868M IRR = 28.3%, Cash Returns = 3.5x

Primary Exit/Monetization Strategies Sale of Business Initial Public Offering Dividend Recapitalization – the target raises proceeds through the issuance of additional debt to pay shareholders a dividend. Dividend recap provides the sponsor with the added benefit of retaining 100% of its existing ownership position in the target, thus preserving the ability to share in any future upside potential and the option to pursue a sale or IPO at a future date.
