LBO Model Builder constructs full-featured leveraged buyout models to evaluate private equity acquisitions, optimize capital structure, and quantify investor returns.

LBO Model Builder constructs full-featured leveraged buyout models to evaluate private equity acquisitions, optimize capital structure, and quantify investor returns. Key features include sources & uses and purchase price calibration, detailed debt schedules (senior loans, revolver, second lien, mezzanine, high-yield) with amortization, PIK toggle and accrued interest tracking, and comprehensive equity waterfall modeling (preferred/common equity, management pool, promote/catch-up). The skill computes levered and unlevered IRR, MOIC, cash-on-cash and gross/net return measures, and runs exit scenario and sensitivity analysis (exit multiples, IPO vs strategic sale, dividend recaps, partial exits, hold periods). Typical use cases are deal screening, debt capacity and covenant headroom analysis, financing negotiation support, and board-level returns reporting. Advantages include standardized templates, customizable assumptions, stress testing, and clear outputs for transaction decision-making.
