Why an LBO Model?
The Case Study (1 / 3)Private Equity Interview Case Study – Part 2
In this case study, you’ll analyze the recent $3.0 billion buyout of J. Crew by TPG and Leonard Green.
Announced on November 23, 2010, the deal represented a rebound in the LBO and debt markets and was one of the larger deals since the start of the credit crunch in mid-2007.
J. Crew is a specialty retailer with over 300 retail stores in the US. It sells higher-end clothing and accessories via its stores and directly via mail order and its website.
In part 2 of this case study, you’ll modify the 3-statement model you created earlier to turn it into an LBO model instead. Please use the following assumptions for this part of the case study:
The Case Study (2 / 3)Part 2 – Purchase Price & Debt Assumptions
Assume an offer price of $43.50 per share, just as in the real transaction, and that all diluted shares are acquired. Assume that TPG and Leonard Green use $1.85 billion worth of debt, just as in the real transaction, with the following tranches, interest rates, and principal repayments:
Revolver: $250 million (L + 250 interest) Term Loan A: $500 million (L + 350 interest, 10% annual repayment) Term Loan B: $500 million (L + 500 interest, 5% annual repayment) Subordinated Notes: $600 million (11% fixed interest, no annual repayment)
Assume that the Revolver is undrawn initially. For LIBOR, please use the LIBOR curve included with the attached Excel file.
The minimum cash balance should be $50 million and you should assume a 5-year buyout period with an exit in FY 2016.
The Case Study (3 / 3)Discussion Questions
Once you’ve completed the LBO model, be prepared to discuss the following questions:
1. Based on the returns, would you invest in J. Crew along with TPG and Leonard Green? Why or why not?
2. How did you determine the EBITDA exit multiple to use? How do you know that it’s accurate? 3. Would the transaction work with more or less debt used, or with a higher EBITDA exit multiple? 4. How else could you change the assumptions to get a higher return? 5. What additional information would you need to make an investment decision?
You have 3 hours to complete the LBO model and then 30 minutes to present your findings to the committee.

Q: How would Sources & Uses Change if the PE firm assumed J. Crew’s existing debt instead?
A) We would remove the “Repay Existing Debt” item.
B) We would add a “Debt Assumed” item under both Sources and Uses.
C) We would add a “Debt Assumed” item only under Sources.

Q: What’s the flaw with the way we just modified the income statement?
A) Depreciation and Amortization are non-cash items so they shouldn’t be there at all.
B) We need better estimates for the periods for the PP&E write-up and intangibles.
C) We can’t just divide the amount by the period, because the period may be less than 5 years.

Q: Why do we wipe out all of J. Crew’s shareholders’ equity? Don’t they still have retained earnings?
A) Because the PE firm gets everything, including the retained earnings, in the transaction.
B) Because the PE firm purchases everything and replaces it with their own equity.
C) It’s just an accounting convention and doesn’t actually affect the model.

Explaining the MAX/MIN Formula:
• =MAX(MIN(Prior Year Revolver, Cash Flow Available – Debt Repaid So Far), 0)
• Revolver = 100, Cash Flow Available = 100, Debt Repaid So Far = 50…
• Repay 50, since 50 < 100• Revolver = 20, Cash Flow Available = 100, Debt
Repaid So Far = 50…• Repay 20, since 20 < 50• Revolver = 100, Cash Flow Available = 100,
Debt Repaid So Far = 120• Repay 0, since 0 > -20

Pop Quiz
Q: Why do we need the MAX function in the optional debt repayment formula?
A) Because the Subtotal Before Revolver – All Payments So Far might be negative.
B) Because the Prior Year Term Loan – Mandatory Repayment part might be negative.
C) We should always include MAX(Formula, 0) around repayment formulas to error-check the model.

Back to the Case Study…Discussion Questions
Once you’ve completed the LBO model, be prepared to discuss the following questions:
1. Based on the returns, would you invest in J. Crew along with TPG and Leonard Green? Why or why not?
2. How did you determine the EBITDA exit multiple to use? How do you know that it’s accurate? 3. Would the transaction work with more or less debt used, or with a higher EBITDA exit multiple? 4. How else could you change the assumptions to get a higher return? 5. What additional information would you need to make an investment decision?
You have 3 hours to complete the LBO model and then 30 minutes to present your findings to the committee.
