Pension Liability in LBO
I'm working on a LBO analysis for a company and am having some trouble wrapping my head around how to incorporate the company's pension liability. Say a company has $10M in pension liability ($2M pension payable and $8M long term pension liability) as recorded on its balance sheet:
To calculate implied equity value (purchase price) - will it be EBITDA times Purchase Multiple less Net Debt less $10M in pension liability?
How does the pension liability affect the Sources and Uses table?
Do you typically assume that the company will pay a fixed amount to pay off the pension liability in the projected periods, and if so, is this yearly amount a deduct from the levered FCF? So the company pays off the pension payment before paying off any debt.
Much appreciated!
