Two Acquisitions Across $54MM of Enterprise Value

Acquisition modeling and investor materials for an independent sponsor executing two transactions simultaneously

An independent sponsor was pursuing two acquisitions at the same time: an approximately $14 million aerospace manufacturer and an approximately $40 million Department of Defense-focused IT business.

Within roughly 60 days, 7Alder built the transaction models, valuation analysis, deal structures, and investor materials required to support successful capital raises for both opportunities.

The Client and Situation

An independent sponsor was pursuing two acquisition opportunities simultaneously.

One involved an aerospace manufacturing business with approximately $14 million of enterprise value. The other involved a Department of Defense-focused IT business with approximately $40 million of enterprise value.

Both opportunities required substantial underwriting and investor-facing materials, while the sponsor was operating with a lean internal team.

The sponsor needed enough additional execution capacity to advance both transactions without slowing either process.

The Transaction Objective

For each acquisition, the sponsor needed to understand the target’s economics, evaluate the proposed transaction structure, and communicate a clear investment case to prospective capital partners.

The work therefore needed to connect operating performance, valuation, financing, transaction structure, and investor returns within a consistent analytical framework.

The Constraint

Two active acquisitions created substantially more modeling and transaction work than the internal team could absorb.

Each opportunity required its own financial model, valuation work, deal-structure analysis, and confidential information memorandum. Both processes also had to advance on compressed timelines.

7Alder needed to take ownership of significant portions of both workstreams simultaneously.

The Work Performed

7Alder supported both acquisitions from underlying financial analysis through investor-facing materials.

The work included:

• Organizing and analyzing target financial information
• Building operating and acquisition models
• Developing valuation analysis
• Preparing pro forma transaction analysis
• Modeling proposed transaction structures
• Evaluating key acquisition economics
• Developing a confidential information memorandum for each transaction
• Updating the analysis as assumptions and transaction terms changed

The financial analysis and investor materials were developed together so that the investment narrative remained grounded in the underlying economics.

Representative Deliverables

The Result

7Alder completed both transaction workstreams within approximately 60 days.

The sponsor gained the analytical and execution capacity required to progress two acquisitions simultaneously, and the completed work supported successful capital raises for both opportunities.

The engagement allowed a lean sponsor team to pursue substantially more transaction activity without building permanent internal infrastructure.

Add Capacity When Deal Activity Accelerates

7Alder works alongside private equity firms and independent sponsors when active opportunities create more underwriting, modeling, and transaction work than the existing team can absorb.
