Estimate recovery rates for debt in a restructuring scenario:
1. Asset Valuation (Going Concern):
- Enterprise value range (distressed multiples)
- Comparable distressed transactions
- Breakup value analysis
2. Asset Valuation (Liquidation):
- A/R and inventory recovery assumptions
- PP&E liquidation value
- Intangibles and IP value (if any)
- Real estate/owned property value
3. Capital Structure Waterfall:
- DIP financing (if applicable)
- Administrative claims
- Priority claims
- Secured debt (1st lien, 2nd lien)
- Unsecured debt
- Subordinated debt
- Equity
4. Recovery Estimates:
- 1st lien recovery %
- 2nd lien recovery %
- Unsecured recovery %
- Implied price at each recovery scenario
5. Fulcrum Security Analysis:
- Identify fulcrum security
- Value break at each tier
- Sensitivity to EV assumptions
6. Restructuring Path:
- Likely restructuring venue (out-of-court vs. Chapter 11)
- Key stakeholder map
- Timeline estimate
- Comparable restructuring outcomes
Output: Recovery matrix with probability-weighted expected recovery by tranche.
