Take-Private and M&A Pitchbooks
Take-Private and M&A Pitchbooks
Value creation from increasing full-time to subcontracted worker ratio, directly reducing the cost of revenue as a % of sales, and tuck-in acquisitions that expand the geographic mix to service larger contacts. Long-term SG&A and cost of revenue decrease as a % of sales, accumulated contracts, and revenue growth from acquisitions would lead to a buyout from MegaCo (Amazon acquires One Medical 2022).
(Revised Note: share price and earnings expectations significantly dropped due to Trump's unexpected tax cut and reduced Medicaid funding, causing pressure on insurance companies)
Transaction highlights revenue expansion of $166mm in 2024 to $543.7mm USD in 2029, and purchase vs exit TEV/Rev contraction of 9.1x (15% premium included) in 2025 to 6x in 2029.
America sales expansion, product development (GEM, Preservé, etc), and positive post-approval study results guide a 26% IRR upon restructuring to a mezzanine dominated capital structure.
Revolver facilitates LFCF losses from 2025 to 2027, and LFCF is positive in 2029 after the revolver balance is reduced to $0. This investment seems default-worthy, yet offers an attractive 25.9% IRR with secondary market exit opportunity for LP's beyond 2029.
Presented transaction rationale, accretion analysis, and deal structure to support Match Group's potential acquisition of Bumble. Purchasing 51% of BMBL is a potential key lever for MTCH's growth in a 'deregulated' M&A period.
The pro forma EPS model supports valuation and synergies—qualitative factors of BMBL's poor management and hiring practices, and Blackstone offloading shares continue exhibiting a great take-private opportunity for MTCH.
(Revised Note: BMBL trades at a lower valuation and the same thesis is more attractive)
Presented value creation, accretion analysis, and deal structure for all-American onshore oil and gas producer Devon Energy's potential acquisition of primarily offshore oil producer Murphy Oil.
Five-year accretion is achieved from organic growth and MUR's international exploration sites, allowing DVN to scale production and achieve dominance in North America. Additionally, synergies from midstream integration, SG&A and capex efficiencies, and cross-selling opportunities.
(Revised Note: 2025 political tensions and priced in downturn makes this transaction cheaper and more attractive with global uncertainty after closure of the Strait of Hormuz)
