FinModelAI_Merger_Model_Pro_COVER_1200x630_dashboard_no_instant | eFinancialModels

Merger Model Pro is a professional, reusable Excel template built to help you evaluate M&A deal economics quickly, consistently, and with confidence—without rebuilding a model from scratch for every transaction. What you get is a clean, fully linked M&A workflow that takes you from deal inputs (purchase price, cash/stock mix, financing) to clear outputs (EPS accretion/dilution, pro forma financials, credit metrics, PPA, and an executive dashboard). The file includes 12 worksheets, 931 formulas, and 5 charts, designed to be easy to audit and customize.

WORKBOOK STRUCTURE (12 TABS)

1) Guide – quick overview, workflow navigation, and modeling conventions

2) Assumptions – centralized input hub for acquirer, target, and transaction drivers

3) Acquirer – 10-year standalone financial projections for the acquiring company

4) Target – 10-year standalone financial projections for the target company

5) Transaction – Sources & Uses, purchase price breakdown, financing mix, and fee structure

6) PPA – Purchase Price Allocation with goodwill bridge and intangibles amortization schedules

7) Synergies – 10-year synergy ramp-up with revenue synergies, cost synergies, and integration costs

8) ProForma – Year-1 combined Pro Forma with transparent line-by-line adjustments (Acquirer + Target + Synergies + PPA + Financing)

9) AccretionDilution – 10-year EPS trajectory with deal verdict (accretive/dilutive) and key drivers

10) CreditAnalysis – leverage ratios, coverage metrics, debt paydown schedule, and covenant-style checks

11) Sensitivity – two-way tables (Offer Price × Synergies, Cash Mix × Interest Rate) to stress-test outcomes

12) Dashboard – visual deal summary with KPIs and charts for Investment Committee presentations

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THIS MODEL

Build a complete base case from key inputs (entry assumptions, financing structure, and operating drivers)
Generate a Year-1 Pro Forma that combines Acquirer + Target + Synergies + PPA + Financing in one transparent view
Calculate Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) with goodwill bridge, intangibles step-ups, and after-tax EPS impact

Model synergy ramp-up over time (revenue synergies, cost synergies, integration costs)
Stress-test the deal using Sensitivity tables and scenario toggles (Base/Upside/Downside)
Present IC-ready results using the Dashboard (one-page executive summary with charts)
