Re: Distressed Debt Model
High yield bonds do not necessarily mean bankruptcy is imminent. If bankruptcy is a possibility, then yes, you need the Distressed Modeling course (fulcrum, etc) and of course Valuation, sum of the parts, liquidation, asset sale, etc. Our Covenants & Credit Agreements course is not yet availab...

Rationale for Trends with Different Exit Multiples: – 8x: you are selling in Y1 at a much lower multiple than you bought in (huge neg).

Also, we'd think of it as two parts of inv:
1) Permanent inv- think of a store, they always have to have the store full and the stock room stocked. This is funded by permanent capital, or wac
2) Day-to-day replenishing of inv- this would be revolver, the liquid part. It gets trickier for manufacturing but that's the idea.
If you are helping them reduce inventory sitting in the warehouse for two years, then we'd likely say long term capital = wacc Read More
