It is important for Bain to grasp the long run atmosphere during which
Dollarama would pass so on value his judgment relating to the acquisition. the
present rate of growth is important during this situation as Bain would need
that the corporate prosper with this rate within the future in addition.
By comparison Dollarama with some American firms like 99 cents solely stores, dollar
General Corporation and Family dollar Store (Exhibit 1). The expansion rate of Dollarama
is relatively the same as those of some American Dollar store firms.

Using various average multiple, I can conclude the worth estimate for the leveraged
buyout (LBO) of Dollarama. choosing an entry multiple of 11.10, Bain can reach a
procurement value of Dollarama of around $1218181. However, this doesn't embody the
fees that may be needed at the time of happening of LBO. This multiple is that the recent
multiple of 2005 August.
Therefore, by assuming this valuation, I can create predictions through the projected
debt levels. The increment in debt level wouldn't have an effect on the Dollarama’s
potential to pay back its interest from its earnings before tax within the forthcoming
years following the acquisition.
Dollarama would be able to have its coverage quantitative relation of around 3 times in
2005 then declining slightly leaving no major impact on its ability of pay its interest.
It would be favorable to review the debt position of Dollarama before Bain goes for the
buyout within the year 2005. Earnings before interest and tax and allowance as per
CAPEX interest coverage ratio this can be EBITDA/Interest is 8.5 times. this can be quite
snug zone because the debt thinks about and therefore the indisputable fact that the

disbursement obligations may be simply met by Dollarama. this debt ratio of 2005 is
around 13.4%
