Task prompt
What the agent was asked to do
Assess if the sponsor can still meet the 20% IRR target at the Year 5 exit, given higher cost of revenues. 1. Increase subscription cost as % of subscription revenues by 1 percentage point in Year 1, then keep it constant in the remaining projection years. 2. Increase services cost as % of services revenues by 1 percentage point in Year 1, then keep it constant in the remaining projection years. Add a new worksheet to the Elastic NV LBO model. It must show Net Debt at Exit, Sponsor Equity Value at Exit, IRR %. All monetary results to be displayed in USD millions, rounded to two decimal places, and all percentages must be rounded to two decimal points.
