Hi all,
I have a modelling test for KKR (buyout) and I know it will be a 1.5h 3-statement LBO with partially filled financials. Does anybody have any info on what I can expect? I.e., will it be a private or public company, do they tend to ask divi recap / M&A ad-ons / goodwill amortisation or is there anything specific I prep?
Thank you so much if anyone can help 🙏🏻

1.5h sounds like template + low probability of M&A add on - maybe it has a div recap? haven't done the KKR one myself so not sure.
Hello
Just wanted to see if you could provide update on how the model test went. I may be taking the test with KKR soon, so wanted to know what I should be preparing for.
