Stout provided buy-side financial services for a private equity platform business that was acquiring automotive service shops. The acquisition was for a group of six automotive service locations in Texas.

The Stout Financial Due Diligence team performed quality-of-earnings analysis and net-working-capital procedures. Stout assisted with compiling sales details from multiple sources, analyzing revenue metrics, and performing a synergy analysis to align the financials with the company’s operational purchasing power and structure. The process also included recasting results for newly acquired locations with limited pre-acquisition data.
