The forward projections? Already done. The balance sheet? Always balanced. Step in only to refine, not wrestle with broken formulas.

IRRs that don’t stall when you stress-test the deal

Recalculate IRR and Money Multiples instantly with no delays. Sensitivity testing becomes seamless, even as you shift key levers like EV/EBIDTA or leverage. The model flexes in real time, giving you clarity on the full return profile.

LBO modeling isn’t just about building scenarios. It’s about trusting them under pressure. ModelReef delivers return metrics that stay unbreakable, even when you push the deal to its limits.

LBO modeling without the debt schedule headaches

Reduce complex debt structures to just a few, intuitive clicks. Instead of spending hours manually tabling out each debt tranche, ModelReef does it instantly. Estimate debt capacity and anticipate cash shortfalls in real-time.

Build fully detailed debt stacks in seconds. Each tranche is structured with automated repayment tables, and interest calculations are automatic. No broken links. Zero rebuilds.

One Model. All Scenarios.Zero Rework.

LBO modeling in Excel often means building two versions of the same deal - leveraged vs unleveraged. ModelReef eliminates that redundancy. Run both capital structures side by side within a single, fully integrated LBO model.

Get instant, sponsor-focused IRR visibility under any stress test. Toggle assumptions, adjust leverage, and immediately see how debt impacts value creation.

Exit scenarios that react as fast as you think

Test exit scenarios in real time. Adjust hold periods, valuation multiples, or debt paydowns. Watch returns update instantly. ModelReef updates your IRR, MOIC, and equity returns the moment you adjust your valuation multiples. See how exit strategy shifts impact potential IRR before the deal even hits the table.

Debt covenants that flag issues, not break formulas

Debt covenants are essential to LBO modeling. Building them manually in Excel is a time sink of nested formulas and fragile logic. Out-of-the-box DSCR, leverage ratios, fixed charge coverage - ModelReef calculates these covenants instantly. All metrics are recalculated as your LBO model is updated. Zero breaks, no errors.

LBO modeling meets high-precision DCF analysis

Project leveraged free cash flows 10, 20, even 30 years into the future, instantly. ModelReef combines deep DCF functionality with the speed and accuracy of AI-driven LBO modeling. Every FCF stream is calculated and debt-adjusted automatically.

Asset valuation calculator - integrated & instant
