Stout performed sell-side due diligence, which included carving out the financial statements of three different business units to provide the optionality of selling under multiple transactions.

Key analysis included quality-of-earnings, net working capital, backlog assessment, and stand-alone cost analysis. Once complete, our team worked closely with the Stout Investment Banking team, who took the combined aviation and engineering business to market.

Our disciplined and detailed approach with respect to the carved-out financial statements along with our ability to work seamlessly with our Investment Banking team drove many efficiencies, including speed to market and buyer confidence, which ultimately optimized deal value.
