Hey,
I have been doing the guides and have had a few interviews recently. I have not seen questions on Merger Models and LBO's come up so much. What do you recommend I know about these topics?
THANKS!

I also wondering this! BUMP
Me too.... I wish someone would explain
You'd need to know why the acquiring firm uses levered vs unlevered debt, and how the three statements flow through resulting from the capital structure
mostly the fundamentals.. e.g., why LBOs, ideal candidates, why not 90% debt 10% equity financing structure and vice versa, would a fin sponsor prefer term loan a or b all else equal except ammortization?
you need to know how to do a paper LBO as well.. questions get harder/trickier if you get them correctly or have prior ib/investment experience
but you will not get asked on advanced LBO case study questions for an SA position
I can help answer any of those loan capital markets related questions / provide knowledge in that area... Debt / equity (leverage - typical) Structure TLA / TLB Pricing, terms etc
or just look at my history of comments and I've answered this 2-3x if you got a real interview coming up w/ this area, feel free to message me/trade emails and I can bless you w/ some more info to get you as prepared as you want
will reach out when the time comes thanks man
LBOs: -What is an LBO, conceptually? -What makes a good LBO candidate? -Give me a company that you would perform an LBO on? -Walk me through an LBO Model? -Give me 5 levers you can pull to increase IRR? -Give me examples of sources and uses? -Paper LBO
Merger Models: -I’m not going to try and create examples, but know how to do accretion dilution math
Whats accretion dilution math?
