merger-model

A merger model quantifies the EPS impact of an acquisition by combining the acquirer and target pro forma income statements. It accounts for purchase price, financing mix, synergies, and amortization to determine whether a deal is accretive or dilutive to earnings.

Accretion dilution analysis calculates the EPS impact of an M&A transaction by merging pro forma income statements. You need it during deal evaluation, board material preparation, and investor pitches to determine if an acquisition increases or decreases the acquirer's earnings per share.

Yes, you can model varying purchase prices, financing mixes, and synergies in a merger model. The framework supports structured inputs for deal terms and generates sensitivity tables to evaluate multiple acquirer and target scenarios simultaneously.

You create pro forma financial statements by combining acquirer and target income statements and adjusting for financing mix, synergies, and amortization. The model automates this in Excel to generate a ready-to-use pro forma P&L for M&A deal evaluation.

Yes, the merger model requires Excel-based financial modeling to perform accretion dilution analysis. It automates pro forma income statements, sensitivity tables, and structured deal inputs directly within Excel.

The best way to prepare M&A deal materials is to build a structured merger model quantifying accretion dilution and EPS impacts. This provides pro forma analysis with sensitivity tables that can be directly exported for board pitches and due-diligence packets.
