Estimated completion: 2.5 hours
This Long-Form LBO Modeling course builds on the fundamentals of LBO valuation learned in Valuation Fundamentals, Valuation Modeling, and the principles of more advanced LBO modeling in Short-Form LBO Modeling. Unlike a short-form LBO model which aims to only answer key questions about returns and capital structure, a long-form model expands outputs to include:
- What returns should all equity holders expect?
- What complex capital structure is possible?
- How are the company’s pro forma financial statements impacted?
In this course, you will learn how to model a long-form LBO using Excel, focusing on adding additional detail to your model when compared with its short-form cousin.
