PE CASE STUDY REPOSITORY

Have seen a lot of threads with people asking for PE case studies / modeling exercises. Some helpful members have offered to share their resources, and have suggested interested users to PM. However, PM’ing is inefficient on both ends. To resolve this, would anyone be willing to create a google drive accessible to anyone as a repository for PE resources?

Thank you in advance. This will be a huge value add to the community.

 

I think this is where the free rider problem might be an issue :/

 

They already know how many cases are circulating around PJT/EVR/GS classic lol

 

To be honest, it is quite easy to create your own case studies.

In my experience, most PE funds give you either an IM or for public companies some company materials (Capital Markets Day presentation, Annual Report, etc.) with broker reports and ask:

“You habe 3h time. Please prepare a short presentation (5-10 pages) outlining whether this company would be a good investment for Fund XYZ. Please support your analysis with an LBO model and make a suggestion for the offer price.”

If you work in IB, just print out the IMs of the recent sell-sides of your team and do your own case studies.

 

Would echo the above, generally some overlap across case studies but typically:

1) Some form of an LBO model - either full fledge 3 statement with operating assumptions, simple LBO with basic balance sheet items, etc. Note, they will usually provide a page or tab of assumptions that you will drive the model off of, but sometimes you may be asked to put your own assumptions and debrief it with a few investment professionals

2) CIM to leverage for your model or do a few page deck on - usually this is a shortened CIM like 10-20 pages; however, if in person, it could be a full 80 pager. The key here is to sift through and make sure you a) understand what the company does b) how it makes money and the revenue model c) ways to drive value creation and operating leverage

3) Debrief / Model Walk Through - this is your opportunity to explain your model and how you thought about the assumptions and your understanding of how different plugs can impact your returns analysis or cash flow profile
