Instructiоns: The first pаrt оf the finаl exаm cоvers conceptual material from Lectures 1–7. It contains three sections: Questions 1-3 – True / False (3 questions). Mark each statement T or F. Be ready to justify your answer in one sentence where relevant. Questions 4-6 – Multiple Choice (3 questions). For each question, pick the best answer and write a one- or two-sentence explanation of why your choice is correct (and, where helpful, why the others are not). Questions 7-9 – Short Answer (3 questions). Aim for a 2-4 sentence answers that name the relevant concept and explain the mechanism, not just the right keyword. The second part of the final exam consists of three long quantitative questions: Q10, Q11, and Q12. Please submit a standalone PDF file containing your solutions (you can attach it at the bottom of question 12). Your PDF should include all information needed by the graders to evaluate your work. In particular, please explain how you arrived at each answer or conclusion, including the key steps, assumptions, calculations, and reasoning. You may refer in the PDF to an accompanying Excel file containing your calculations. However, the PDF should not rely on the graders opening or using the Excel file in order to understand or grade your solution. In other words, the PDF must be self-contained. You may also submit the Excel file in which you carried out your analysis. In some ambiguous cases, graders may use the Excel file to award partial credit. Nevertheless, the PDF should contain all relevant information needed for grading. You can find the key numbers for Questions 10, 11, and 12 in the final-exam-2026-student.xlsx spreadsheet: final-exam-2026-student.xlsx Please download this spreadsheet and make sure that Honorlock allows you to open it with Excel. If you encounter any technical issues ask IT folks to help you. Good luck!
LBO Mоdel – Silver Lаke’s Tаke-Privаte оf Endeavоr (15 points) On April 2, 2024, Silver Lake announced a $13B take-private of Endeavor Group Holdings (NYSE: EDR) – parent of WME, IMG, On Location and the controlling shareholder of TKO Group (UFC + WWE) – at $27.50 per share; the deal closed in March 2025 and was financed with $5.5B of sponsor equity, a $7.25B term loan (~7.5% pre-tax), and a fully drawn $0.25B revolver (~6.5% pre-tax). For tractability, treat this transaction as a single-firm LBO with the financing stack above and total enterprise consideration of $13.0 billion (we abstract from the TKO public stake, a separate $3B margin loan, and pre-existing facilities) that closed in late 2024 (early 2025). Operating projections (millions of USD) Forward projections. Silver Lake models the following cashflows going forward: 2025E 2026E 2027E 2028E Revenue 7,600 8,200 8,800 9,400 YoY growth +6.9% +7.9% +7.3% +6.8% EBITDA 1,670 1,845 2,025 2,210 EBITDA margin 22.0% 22.5% 23.0% 23.5% D&A 575 600 625 650 Capex (~3% of revenue) 230 245 265 280 Implied four-year revenue CAGR 7.2% and EBITDA CAGR 7.3% (margins expand~50 bps/yr from a starting point in line with the 2022–2023 historical average of ~21–22%). Other Inputs Parameter Value Tax rate (US federal, marginal & average) 21% Unlevered cost of capital (kA) 11.5% Pre-tax cost of term loan (kTL) 7.5% Pre-tax cost of revolver (kRC) 6.5% Acquisition price (total, end-2024) $13,000M Sponsor equity check $5,500M Term loan at close $7,250M Revolver drawn at close $250M Holding period 4 years Exit at end-2028 at 9.0× LTM EBITDA Cash sweep order Revolver first, then term loan Working capital change Assume zero The key numbers are given to you in the sheet LBO Model of the final-exam-2026-student.xlsx spreadsheet: final-exam-2026-student.xlsx Unlevered free cash flows and unlevered firm value (given) To keep the focus on the LBO mechanics, the unlevered side has been worked out for you. Using Unlevered FCF = (EBITDA − D&A)(1 − t) + D&A − Capex and adding the exit EV in 2028, then discounting at kA = 11.5%, you obtain: ($M) 2025 2026 2027 2028 Unlevered FCF 1,210.05 1,338.55 1,466.00 1,602.40 + Exit EV (= 9.0× EBITDA2028) - - - 19,890.00 Total unlevered cash flow 1,210.05 1,338.55 1,466.00 V U = ∑ t = 1 4 FCF t ( 1 + k A ) t + Exit EV 4 ( 1 + k A ) 4 ≈ $ 17 , 125 M Take VU = $17,125M and the unlevered FCFs above as given inputs in everything that follows. Based on all the information above, carefully answer the following questions. Make sure to provide a full audit trail (including intermediate tables and formulas). If you think that the input data is incomplete, make an assumption about the missing data based on your experience and clearly mark that in your solutions. Part (a) – Levered Firm Value (9 points) Sweeping all FCF first to the revolver, then to the term loan: (i) Build the debt schedule for years 2025–2028 (opening/closing balances, interest, repayments, and the year-by-year tax shield on each facility). (ii) Compute the PV of debt tax shields (iii) Compute the levered firm value V_L, and report the implied deal NPV at the $13.0B purchase price. Part (b) – Equity proceeds and Sponsor Returns (6 points) (i) Compute Silver Lake’s equity IRR and MOIC. (ii) Identify and quantify the main drivers of the leveraged return (EBITDA growth, multiple expansion, debt paydown, etc.).
