SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Finance teams need a consistent, transparent framework to quantify deal economics, show EPS impact, and communicate financing effects for M&A transactions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pro forma EPS impact analysis and accretion/dilution across Year 1-3.
  • Synergy modeling, sensitivity analysis, and purchase-price allocation.
  • Structured sources & uses, financing mix scenarios, and a pitch-ready summary for board materials.

Quick Start

Open the merger-model Excel workbook, input acquirer and target data, and generate the pro forma EPS impact and sensitivity analysis.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a merger model in Excel with accretion dilution analysis?

A merger model in Excel calculates pro forma EPS impact by combining acquirer and target financials, financing structures, and synergies to determine accretion or dilution. It outputs a pitch-ready summary with sources, uses, and a sensitivity suite.

What is accretion dilution analysis and how does it work in M&A deals?

Accretion dilution analysis compares the pro forma EPS of a combined entity against the acquirer's standalone EPS to measure deal value. It factors in purchase price, cash or stock financing, and synergy impacts to show if a deal increases or decreases earnings.

How do I model synergies and financing effects for an M&A transaction?

Modeling synergies and financing effects involves inputting offer prices and debt structures into a structured Excel framework to generate a pro forma P&L. This captures financing costs and synergy realizations across Year 1 through Year 3.

Can I run sensitivity analysis on purchase price and cash stock mix in Excel?

Yes, sensitivity analysis on purchase price and cash or stock mix is supported through a built-in sensitivity suite. It recalculates pro forma EPS impacts across varying financing scenarios to identify optimal deal structures.

Do I need openpyxl to generate a headless Excel merger model?

Yes, headless openpyxl is required to programmatically build and recalculate the Excel merger model before delivery. It enables automated recalculation of pro forma financials and accretion dilution outputs without opening Excel.

What's the best way to structure sources and uses for a pro forma P&L analysis?

Structuring sources and uses requires mapping financing mixes against purchase prices and transaction fees to generate a pro forma P&L. This framework ensures accurate synergy modeling and clear EPS impact visualization for board materials.
