Business case

Pan-European 360° due diligence in the defence and security services sector

Situation: Transactions
Transaction preparation & execution

Context

Our client sought strategic and financial due diligence on a leading service platform for sovereign and defence matters.

Key Takeaway

The market modelling and market projections prepared by the vendor’s advisers resulted in aggressive organic growth assumptions, which we considered ambitious and thus challenged them. We also analysed the portfolio of activities and contracts to carve out exceptional top-line items from the normalised run-rate flows of activity. Finally, we documented the market upsides arising from the Rearm Europe plan, taking into consideration the latest disclosures from the main European countries on the increase in their defence budgets and the development of new military programmes.

Accuracy Role

We conducted full buy-side due diligence on the target, including a critical review of the business plan prepared by the target and its advisers.
