This Professional LBO (Leveraged Buyout) Excel model is a practical PE-style template built for deal analysis, interview case studies, and corporate finance scenario work. It's designed to be clean, audit-friendly, and fast to customize—without macros or hidden logic.
Why it's useful:
Instead of rebuilding an LBO from scratch, this workbook gives you a structured model where the core mechanics are already linked: transaction inputs → operating performance → debt paydown → returns. The layout emphasizes clarity (inputs vs formulas) so you can adapt it quickly to different companies, leverage levels, and exit assumptions.
What's included (key worksheets/features):
• START HERE / quick guidance
• Sources & Uses / transaction setup (entry assumptions, purchase price, leverage)
• Operating Model (multi-year projections)
• Debt Schedule with cash sweep mechanics (repayment tied to cash generation)
• Credit Metrics (leverage and coverage-style outputs)
• Returns Summary (IRR & MOIC outputs)
• Sensitivity + Scenarios (quick what-if views for key drivers)
• Dashboard-style summary + Documentation notes
How to use:
Edit only the color-coded input cells. Outputs update automatically. If you overwrite formulas by mistake, simply re-download the original file to restore a clean version.
Technical details:
• File format: .xlsx
• No VBA / no macros (no security warnings)
• No external links
• Lightweight workbook (opens quickly)
Compatibility:
Designed for Microsoft Excel (Windows/Mac). Files may open in Google Sheets, but some formulas/formatting can behave differently. For best results, use Excel.
