  • Support with the identification of normalization potential incl. run rate adjustments massively impacting the purchase price.
  • Preparation of a professional investors presentation anticipating general FDD analyses.
Outperformance
  • Delays in data provision and limited depth of financial data equalized by hands-on approach and combining operational with financial data.
  • Significant proportion of future EBITDA was considered for valuation purposes due to generated transparency.

As part of the sale of the key Group to Constellation Academy Group, Radial acted as our exclusive financial advisor. From the preparation of the business plan and the investor presentation, to the support in due diligence and valuation-related issues, to the assistance in the SPA negotiations, the Radial team distinguished itself through excellent technical expertise, absolute reliability, and a very high level of personal commitment. I can recommend the Radial team without hesitation.
