hello everyone fine welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo watch the
[16]
video till the end and if you're new to this channel then you can subscribe us
[21]
by clicking the bell icon today we have a topic with us is LBO leverage now what
[27]
exactly is leverage buyout see well leveraged buyout is basically you know
[31]
acquiring a company with a small amount of equity say let's say 5 to 10%
[36]
right off the total cost and using a debt fund for the remaining 90
[40]
to 95% so this is your equity portion and this is it debt portion
[47]
right so this implies that you know the acquisition is done primarily using the
[52]
borrowing phone as you can see 90.95 %with the high
[55]
leverage so the buyer that is over here it's gonna be the PE firm who is gonna be
[61]
the in charge hopes to earn a higher return on its investments in the purpose
[66]
of the leveraged buyouts is to allow companies to make our large acquisitions
[69]
without having to commit a lot of capital now how does the LBO model work
[77]
see in this section of what is LBO we will try and understand how the LBO
[81]
works using a simple example so that afterwards the LBO financing becomes
[85]
clear let's say that you have a business and it's a great business and there is
[89]
no debt as of now and it generates let's say a pre-tax income of 1.5 million
[96]
dollar and you it turns the net income closely it is earning a net income of
[102]
let's say $1,000,000 assuming that you are paying a third of what you earn to
[109]
the government now over here mr. B contacts you and praises your enterprise
[116]
and desires to buy the company in $10,000,000 let's say to you and it's a
[121]
great deal because you have been earning 1 million every year per year and 10
[126]
million looks pretty attractive to you so you so you agreed for the buyout and
[130]
mr. B on on the other hand checks his funds and finds out that he can invest
[136]
how much only to the extent of 1 million but this is the amount he can only
[141]
invest and the rest he has arrange somewhere else from somewhere else so he
[144]
asks he goes to a bank and he asked the bank
[149]
to lend him the rest of the amount the bank disagrees to lend the amount
[153]
thinking that it would be very risky business then mr. B over here goes out
[158]
and sees that your company has great assets so he shows the assets of the
[163]
company and uses the assets as collateral and convinces one of the
[169]
banks to lend the money at let's say 10% of interest that we per
[174]
Annum basis so mr. so mr. B he invests 1 million of its own fund and what he does
[184]
he borrows the $9 million from the bank and he pays off in total $10 million okay
[191]
he pays you of $10 million and buys the business now the business does not
[195]
consist of equity only there is 1 million of equity and 9 million in terms
[199]
of this would be called as the leverage bout since the debt is used heavily in
[203]
the whole deal right so this is the composition now we will now check
[208]
whether this deal is profitable to mr. B or not see after buying the business if we
[212]
assume that the form still generates let's say $1.5 million in pre-tax income
[218]
over here we had pre-tax income of $1.5 million right here's how the calculation
[223]
will go even if the firm generates $1.5 in pre-tax the net income won't be $1
[228]
million after paying point $0.5 million of taxes now mr. B needs to pay interest on
[234]
its borrowed of funds so he has borrowed $9 million for 10% right $9 million for 10%
[240]
so that means he needs to pay how much just make it 10% I'm just doing it
[244]
for you 0.9 right $900,000 has the interest so that means the company
[248]
has a pre-tax income of how much 1.5 and 0.9
[253]
so you just make this negative you get point 6 that is $600,000 and he will pay
[257]
the same tax rate as the interest is tax deductible so he will get a net income
[262]
of closely $400,000 assuming that he would pay 1/3 part of the pre-tax income as
[269]
taxes 0.2 so 0.6 - 0.2 that's 0.4 so that's gonna be the amount but
[277]
this means that if the income remain similar for the next 3 years he
[280]
would get back to his investment money and more so in this example mr. B has
[284]
taken the help of a bank and in big deals usually the company targets the
[288]
competitor what we call as company and takes help of the private equity firms
[292]
that the private equity firm then goes out and puts in some of its own fund and
[296]
takes a loan from the financial institution so let me summarize the LBO
[302]
this section of LBO summarizes most of the important features of LBO
[308]
let me summarize in a very concluding fashion let me do it the way it should
[313]
be now over here will be writing two things first what is the parameter that
[319]
has been used and in which range it goes even number we here will start with the
[324]
first one saying the return okay the returns it ranges this so what we are
[330]
discussing is the section of the LBO summarization most of the important
[334]
feature of the LBO the returns are normally between 20 to 30%
[338]
generally okay second the exit time horizon
[346]
exit time horizon means that at what time they will take an exit position
[350]
from that particular company in their investment so that is usually 3 to
[353]
5 years ok third the capital structure
[362]
so what's going to be the capital structure
[365]
of debt and this will be that will be high and there'll be equal equity that
[374]
is the private equity firms that they will invest the equity will be very low
[378]
over here a fourth point not here the fourth point is the debt payment so the
[382]
debt payment the bank debt that has been paid usually is in closely to 6 to
[390]
8 years and the higher yield debt paid in closely 10 to 12 years from
[402]
a 5th point what are the exit multiple losses that this kind of private equity
[408]
firm used to take the exit position so they see they're better they see the
[412]
price price to earnings ratio they also check the EV/EBITDA now multiple
[418]
one of the very important multiple or the driver that has been used to make
[421]
analysis so it's EV/EBITDA down and what are the potential exists exits
[429]
potential exits are either sale or maybe IPO or recapitalization so those are the
[439]
three way the potential exits are been done so this are some of the very
[444]
important features of LBO that one should take into consideration while
[448]
investing and beforehand you know they should be clear about that are they
[453]
falling in this particular criteria because this is how it's because this is
[456]
how it is going to be around for the next 2 to 3 or maybe 4 or 5
[460]
years according to the range in which they are making the investments LBO is a
[465]
very high level business you know the leverage is going to be high you are
[469]
investing in a risky business I'll give you one single example
[473]
we all know that we have used BlackBerry a lot see for blackberry blackberry had
[478]
gone into a turmoil State because of the revenues got hit because of the
[482]
competitors in the market Samsung iPhone they they had given a strong hit of
[486]
truth to the BlackBerry company so when it was falling down and there was no
[491]
support the the BlackBerry company was been purchased by a Canadian financial
[494]
institution they made an investment over there it's like private equity firm and
[499]
today has been managed by the same company you know and the leverage has
[503]
been put down on blackberry and they are able to pretty much survive right now
[507]
they have a good consistency over its revenue but again there's no surety so
[513]
this is how the LBO model work if you have learned and you know liked the
[518]
