Purpose of the tool This Excel-based Sales and Profitability Analysis Model provides a structured view of revenue and margin development across multiple dimensions, such as divisions, products, regions and customers. It helps you understand how growth, mix and price/volume effects translate into profitability and where concentration, margin pressure or structural shifts may occur. The model can combine reported, adjusted and pro-forma figures (e.g. from your QoE work) and visualises sales and EBITDA performance through bridges, seasonality charts and segment overviews. This makes it easy to analyse which segments drive growth, which customers are most relevant and how total output, material, personnel and other operating items contribute to overall profitability. The tool is particularly useful for Transaction Services, financial & commercial due diligence and factbook preparation, but is equally suited for recurring management reporting and performance reviews. Each sheet includes a short “What to do / What to know” box with practical instructions, so you always know exactly what is expected on that tab and how it feeds into the overall model. Key Outputs

• Sales overview with reported, adjusted and pro-forma sales and bridge views
• Sales seasonality analysis (monthly sales trends across fiscal years)
• Segment breakdowns and charts for:
  • Sales by division / segment
  • Sales by product / product group
  • Sales by region / country
  • Customer concentration and top-customer views
• Profitability overview with total output, EBITDA, EBIT and net profit, incl. margin analysis
• EBITDA driver analysis (e.g. total output, material, personnel, other operating income/expenses) via bridge / waterfall-style views

Key Inputs & Assumptions

• Income statement and sales data, ideally monthly and with segment information (division, product, region, customer)
• Optional QoE-related flags or linkages to distinguish reported, adjusted and pro-forma figures
• Basic structural settings such as number of segments (divisions, product groups, regions) and analysis periods

How to use

1. Set core parameters (segments, time horizon, currency) in the Assumptions sheet.
2. Load IS and sales detail data into the relevant source / lead sheets and reconcile to the financial statements.
3. Where relevant, link or input adjusted / pro-forma figures and then review the sales, concentration, seasonality and profitability tabs to analyse growth, mix and margin development.

Customization & support The model is highly customisable – you can easily adapt segment structures, labels, KPIs and charts to your specific business model, industry or reporting standards. For more complex customisations or individual requirements (e.g. firm-specific versions, integration into broader workbooks or additional analysis modules), feel free to reach out and we can discuss a tailored solution. Each download includes both a fully blank “Clean Template” for working directly with your own data and a pre-populated Example Template that illustrates the model’s logic and calculations using realistic sample data. If you want to cover the full analysis scope – from Earnings/QoE and Working Capital to Net Debt plus Sales and customer analytics – you may also want to have a look at the “Transaction Services All-in-One Financial Analysis Workbook.” The screenshots provide a good first impression of the model, but they do not fully capture all functionalities and details—if you have any questions or would like to better understand specific features, feel free to reach out anytime.
