Both quantitative and qualitative analyses, such as the valuation of M+M, LBO modeling, and market competition analysis, were conducted using publicly available information, data from Bloomberg, and direct company information provided by M+M's CFO. Our analysis shows that the LBO of M+M, with a holding period of 5 years, could result in a MOIC of up to 4.4x, depending on the assumptions of the financial models and the success of value creation initiatives.engPrivate equityLeveraged buyoutInvestment committee presentationMensch und Maschine SEIndustrial softwaremaster thesis203312511
