Use the REIT model to model Golden Everest's year-end cash balances in 2025E, 2026E, and 2027E under C-Corp, no change in the dividend policy with the debenture. Additionally, model Golden Everest's year-end cash balances in 2025E, 2026E, and 2027E under the REIT structure and with the debenture. Assume under the REIT structure, management decides to distribute 92.5% of net income as a dividend. Write a message to me, explaining the following: - Golden Everest's year-end cash balances in 2025E, 2026E, and 2027E under C-corp structure. - Golden Everest's year-end cash balances in 2025E, 2026E, and 2027E under REIT structure.

For Stage 1, use the unlevered cash flows from 2025E to 2029E on the “Projections (C-Corp)” tab. Assume the valuation date is December 1, 2025 and use the midyear adjustment approach for Stage 1, which assumes CFs are generated halfway through each period rather than at period-end for any partial periods. For Stage 2, grow unlevered FCF at a 5% annual pace for 12 years until 2041). For stage 3, use a perpetuity growth rate of 1%. Assume WACC is 11%. For present value calculations, use a 365 day count.

Report the 2027 CFADS, Max Total Debt, and the Net Special Dividend ($000s). Reply back here with the numbers. Scenarios: 1. Timing: The dividend recap transaction closes at the end of Fiscal Year 2027. Use 2027 forecast data. 2. Covenant Constraint: - Pro Forma DSCR, defined as CFADS / debt service, must be at least 1.40x. - Cash Taxes (Override): Calculate normalized cash taxes as 25.0% for the purpose of dividend recap 3. New Debt Structure: - The company will refinance all existing debt into a new Senior Facility. - Interest Rate: 6.5% (Fixed). - Mandatory Amortization: 1.0% of Principal per year. - Total Service Constant: 7.5% (Interest + Amort). 4. Dividend Recap Transaction Fees: 2.0% of the Incremental Debt Raised (New Total Debt - Old Existing Debt). Instructions: 1. Calculate 2027 CFADS using the override tax assumption. 2.

Step 2: Divide this 250‑day cumulative dollar value by the cumulative trading volume over the same 250‑day period to arrive at the 250‑day VWAP. - Determine the percentage share price increase (premium) by comparing the 20 Nov share price to the 250‑day VWAP. - Normalize AES Corporation’s market capitalization by removing the premium of the most recent share price over the 250‑day VWAP, so that the resulting normalized market capitalization reflects the VWAP rather than the latest trading price.

    Using the accretion dilution model, produce the deliverables outlined below. Round all the figures to whole numbers, present monetary amounts in $ mm and display percentages to two decimals places. The client wants to make the following adjustments to the DCF model. - Revise the COGS assumptions for both Cost of Product & Cost of software and rentals as a % of Revenue, and make it a three-year moving average for 2025E and future years. For years 2026E, 2027E, 2028E and 2029E, add 25 basis points to each year's three-year moving average. Update the gross profit based on these assumptions - Revise the Selling, general and administrative expenses by making it a three-year moving average for 2025E and future years - Revise the Research and development expenses to 10% of sales for years 2026E through 2029E if prior years discounted cashflows exceed $1,000 mm and apply a three-year moving average for years where discounted cashflows are below $1,000 mm - Revise the revenue growth assumptions by changing 2025E growth to -0.5% for both Sales of Product & Sales of Software and Rentals. For years 2026E through 2029E, use a three year moving average for each year and subtract 50 basis points from that calculated growth rate each year - Use a WACC calculated by using only Zimmer Biomet and Smith & Nephew in WACC Calculation as comparables - Use a terminal growth rate of 1.5% Return a short message explaining to me: 1.

    Assume that no transaction happens with SOLV. Now, calculate the impact of a large investment in AI for MMM shareholders as an alternative capital allocation strategy using the accretion dilution model. Print me back the answer right here, showing: Total new debt from MMM's AI related initiatives Total debt Total after tax Interest Expense PF Net Income Pro Forma EPS EPS accretion/dilution Ending cash Using the following assumptions calculate the impact to EPS for MMM shareholders assuming no transaction with SOLV: - Required investment in technology of $5 billion - half of the investment to be financed from cash in hand and the rest with new debt at a 8.5% cost - Reduction in work force resulting cost savings pre tax of $1 billion - Severance cost associated with the reduction in work force of $4 billion to be financed with $500 million of cash in hand and the rest with new debt at a 12% cost. Assume 50% of the total severance costs will be paid upfront and the remainder over a 4 year period in equal amounts with the first payment beginning in year 1. These costs should be accounted as an expense and not capitalized. Any remaining cash from the debt not used upfront goes to the balance sheet - Increase in power costs associated with the investment in AI of $600 million per year - Apply an incremental 10% tax on power cost for every $100 million of power spend as a pollution compensation policy. Assume the 10% tax doubles for every $100 million of incremental spend. Assume this tax is embedded in the cost. - Assume to bolster balance sheet, MMM also issues equity for equivalent of $2 billion dollars at a issuing price of $250 dollars per share Remember in your answer: EPS should have two decimals. Percentages should have two decimals. All other values given as $ in millions, no decimals.
