Valuation advisory services for leading window coverings manufacturer

Throughout a seven-year relationship, Stout has provided a variety of services to a leading manufacturer, distributor, and marketer of window coverings. Stout was initially engaged to provide a valuation of stock options issued to certain members of the management team following its acquisition by a leading private equity firm, as well as a technical accounting memo regarding the stock option grant. We subsequently provided several quarterly valuations for the stock options. We also performed the acquisition accounting for three acquisitions that were executed under the initial private equity owner, as well as quarterly updates for the contingent consideration liability issued in one of the transactions.

When the initial private equity investor exited and new private equity investors acquired the company, Stout performed the acquisition accounting for the deal worth approximately $1.5 billion. We also provided valuations for the new securities issued in the transaction. Finally, we performed subsequent goodwill impairment analyses for the company's three reporting units.
