Able to share additional detail (sub sector, FCF conversion, thesis, valuation)?
3-4x range
I don't want to get too specific, but apparel, and 18% EBITDA margin (unadjusted).
No real valuation, as it hasnt taken external capital on.
Might be tough if it's sponsorless or the company hasn't transacted so far
Agree with others with this additional context - sounds like a 3x div recap
Ignore my title
Looking to hire a banker with consumer and private debt expertise...?
Direct Deal or Pro Rata bank deal? Latter will prob top out at 2x max at that size. Might be able to get 3x ish for a Direct deal but it'll cost you. Industry + lack of Sponsor w a fund behind it will be big draw backs + the relatively small size.
Generally not an environment where lenders want to see people taking money off the table, esp. if a consumer discretionary name. Especially true if there's a lack of Cash Equity in the biz.
Probably depends a lot on fashion risk, value vs. luxury, etc. I'd still think 2x is reasonable if you're looking to take out minority / rollover folks. If you're talking divirecap, then may get some push back. Obviously expensive capital regardless.
