Post-Merger Synergies Modeling

Category: Frameworks • Duration: 8 min • Difficulty: Advanced

What You'll Learn

Deconstruct and quantify Hard Cost Synergies (overlapping systems, SG&A savings).
Model Soft Revenue Synergies (cross-selling, channel sharing) with discount factors.
Anticipate Post-Merger Integration (PMI) friction and execution delay costs.

Lesson Overview

Acquisitions fail when buyers pay high premiums based on speculative math. Learn how to separate high-conviction Cost Synergies from high-risk, speculative Revenue Synergies.

Your interviewer says: "Our client, a massive national retail pharmacy chain with $100M in EBITDA, wants to acquire a regional health clinic chain with $20M in EBITDA for a 50% premium over their $100M valuation (paying $150M). The board wants to know: Is this $50M premium justified by synergies?"

Why This Matters for Consulting Interviews

MBB firms specializing in corporate turnarounds evaluate your capacity to build a conservative, risk-adjusted strategic transaction business case.
