s and concentrated on its core petencies in snack foods and home security systems. Second, the pany is financed entirely with equity. Because the cash flows of the pany are relatively steady, Meg thinks the pany’s debtequity ratio should be at least 25%. She believes these changes would significantly enhance shareholder wealth, but she also believes that the existing board and pany management are unlikely to take necessary actions. As a result, Meg thinks the pany is a good candidate for a levered buyout.A leveraged buyout (LBO) is the acquisition by a small group of equity investors of a public or private pany. Generally, an LBO is financed primarily with debt. The new shareholders serve the heavy interest and principle payments with cash form operations and /or asset sales. Shareholders generally hope to reserve the LBO within three to seven years by way of a public offering or sale of the pany to another firm. A buyout is therefore likely to be successful only if the firm generates enough cash to serve the debt in the early years and if the pany is attractive to other buyers a few years down the road.Meg has suggested the potential LBO to her partners, Ben Feller and Brenton Flynn. Ben and Brenton have asked Meg to provide projections of the cash flows for the pany. Meg has provided the following estimates (in millions):20102011201220132014Sales $21152371255526162738Costs562738776839884Depreciation 373397413434442EBT11801236136613431412Capital expenditures215186234237234Change of NWC94143787383Asset sales1092791At the end of five years, Meg estimates that the growth rate in cash flows will be % per year. The capital expenditures are for new projects and the replacement of equipment that wears out. Additionally, the pany would realize cash flow from the sale of several divisions. Even though the pany will sell these divisions, overall sales should increase because of a more concentrated effort on the remaining divisions. After plowing through the pany’s financials and various pro forma scenarios, Ben and Brenton feel that in five years they will be able to sell the pany to another party or take it public again. They are also aware that they will have to borrow a considerable amount of the purchase price. The interest payments on the debt for each of the next five years if the LBO is undertaken will be these (in millions):20102011201220132014Interest payments$14821430153414951547The pany currently has a required return on assets of 14%.
