What are some methods of “financial engineering” that PE firms carry out to boost returns?
Always been curious and typical explanations kf just cost reduction (redundancies etc.) don’t seem to add up.
What about procurement efficiencies, pricing optimisation, NWC improvement (factoring etc.)?
I am leaving out the inorganic stuff: HQ consolidation / synergies from roll-ups at lower multiples. More interested in organic routes.
