Purchase price allocation - what am I doing wrong?

Hi,


I am trying to create a simplified example but it doesn't balance for some reason. Can anybody please tell me why?


LBO purchase


Sources & uses


TEV 100

Existing Debt 20

Equity value 80



Leverage 30

Sponsor Equity 50



Original target balance sheet:

Asset: no goodwill. Just current asset of 40

Equity of 20 and existing debt of 20.


PF balance sheet:

Goodwill of 60 + existing asset of 40 = 100 PF


L&E

Liabilities = new debt of 30

Equity = wipe off old equity of 20 and add new sponsor equity of 50

Then i get $80 for L&E?


Can somebody please help...




 

Debt gets prepaid in case of acquisition.

Uses: Repayment of existing debt (20), Acquisition (80) | Sources: Leverage (30), Sponsor Equity (70)

PF BS: Goodwill (60) + Existing Assets (40) | Leverage (30) + Equity (70)

Yep this is correct. B/S doesn’t balance because S&U doesn’t balance.

Either debt gets repaid in full or can get rolled if docs allow for it and creditor wishes to stay. Regardless has to be accounted for as a use in S&U and plugged accordingly as a source using equity or rolled debt.
