pencils down/Decline Analysis a lev fin Term Loan B deal standpoint:

  • Pricing/Return (pencils down until pricing hits L+500 / 6.5% for example)
  • Deal Size (<$200)
  • No Rating (NR/NR), Low Rating (B-/B3)
  • High Leverage (Banks 4.0x, or institutional investors "depends")
  • Structure - don't play in _____ (2nd lien)

then more Company/Industry specific stuff

  • Sector - don't understand it, not gonna start now, or just got killed on a recent company in this industry
  • Company history - poor
  • Or specific credit concerns after deep diving (Customer concentration, contracts coming up for renewal in top 5/10, other combined risks)
 
Most Helpful

It depends if it's a development deal or not. Development: yield on cost, cost basis per SF and per unit, project/LP IRR and whole dollar nominal profit expectations are generally most important. For operating assets it really depends on the investor and what their objectives are. It could be any combination of basis, IRR, cash-on-cash, equity multiple...really just depends.
