Batteriespeicher sollen uns den Strom aus Erneuerbaren Energien dann zur Verfügung stellen, wenn wir ihn brauchen – es gibt nur kaum welche. Die Herausforderungen des Ausbaus sind gewaltig, die Finanzierungsvolumina auch. Allerdings passen die Wünsche der Entwickler und Betreiber nicht immer mit den Bedürfnissen der Finanzierer zusammen. Wie kann man trotzdem Finanzierungen ermöglichen? Darüber diskutieren wir in dieser Episode.

Comment transmettre son entreprise à son seul enfant repreneur, tout en récupérant 3 millions d'euros, sans léser les autres enfants ?Pour un dirigeant, sa société est l'œuvre de sa vie, mais aussi sa retraite.Comment concilier transmission et cashout ?- Une simple donation ne permet pas le cashout- Une cession pourrait asphyxier l'entreprise ou nécessiter des capitaux extérieursC'est dans ce cas qu'il faut penser au Family Buy Out (FBO).Cette opération combine les avantages du LBO classique avec ceux de la transmission familiale.Voici comment il fonctionne dans ses grandes lignes :1. Création d'une holding de reprise, détenue principalement par l'enfant repreneur2. Cette holding s'endette pour acquérir une partie des titres de l'entreprise auprès du dirigeant (le "cash-out")3. Parallèlement, le dirigeant consent une donation-partage à ses enfants, avec attribution préférentielle de l'entreprise au repreneur4. Les soultes dues aux autres enfants sont prises en charge par la holdingBien sûr, il y a des subtilités !Si vous êtes confronté à cette situation de transmission familiale avec cash-out et soultes, je vous recommande de consulter notre interview complète sur le FBO.Jean-Louis Médus, avocat spécialiste de ces opérations, détaille chaque étape technique du montage, les écueils à éviter et les dernières évolutions fiscales à prendre en compte.Vous y découvrirez notamment comment déterminer le niveau d'endettement optimal pour votre holding, comment sécuriser le pacte Dutreil dans ce contexte, et les clauses essentielles à insérer dans votre pacte d'associés.Voici l'organisation de notre épisode : [00:01:01] Définition du FBO et types d'actifs transmissibles[00:02:26] Les grandes étapes de mise en place d'un FBO[00:05:40] Les cas d'usage principaux du FBO[00:09:09] L'évaluation de l'entreprise dans un FBO[00:11:30] Pourquoi privilégier la donation-partage dans un FBO[00:14:28] Combiner démembrement et FBO : problématiques des dividendes[00:18:24] Les limites à ne pas franchir[00:21:42] Compatibilité entre le Pacte Dutreil et le FBO[00:28:25] Niveau d'endettement optimal pour la société holding[00:32:01] Pérenniser l'entreprise après le FBO[00:34:15] Intégration des managers dans un FBO[00:40:03] Points de vigilance pour un FBO réussi Hébergé par Acast.

Are the tradeoffs that highly successful executives make — prioritizing wealth and recognition over family and a more grounded life — truly worth it? That's the central question that prompted Butch Meily to write From Manila to Wall Street, a memoir reflecting on his time nearly 40 years ago as a close aide to the brilliant but often brash Reginald F. Lewis, the first African-American to build a billion-dollar company. Lewis was a trailblazing businessman and investor who, in the 1980s, bulldozed through racial barriers. Financier and philanthropist Michael Milken described him as “the Jackie Robinson of American business.” Although Lewis died of a brain tumor at age 50 in 1993, the actionable insights gleaned from Lewis's business life remain relevant to this day, chief among them his motto: “Keep going no matter what.” Lewis reached extraordinary heights, bringing Meily along with him. Nevertheless, the lives of both men serve as a cautionary tale of the price each paid for their achievements. Their enduring legacy: build boldly, lead wisely — but never forget to live. [A native of the Philippines, Meily currently serves as president of the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation, a private-sector disaster management organization. Earlier in his career, he worked in public relations for both Burson-Marsteller and Howard J. Rubenstein Associates.] Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

Le Projet de Loi de Finances 2025 vient frapper fort sur les Management packages. Vous êtes dirigeant sous LBO ? Vous bénéficiez de BSPCE, actions gratuites, BSA ?Vous préparez un cash-out, une levée de fonds, une opération de M&A, une transmission, une cession ?Alors ce post est pour vous. Désormais, une partie de vos plus-values pourra être imposée comme un salaire, jusqu'à 59%, contre 34% (flat tax + CEHR) jusque-là. Oui, vous avez bien lu. 59 %. Le nouvel article 163 bis H remet en cause le traitement fiscal des management packages.Il crée une présomption de salaire, impose des conditions strictes pour bénéficier du régime des plus-values, et vise de nombreux schémas jusqu'ici tolérés. Pour bien comprendre ce que ça change, j'ai eu le grand plaisir de recevoir Philippe Donneaud, avocat fiscaliste associé chez CMS Francis Lefebvre, dans Une Cession Presque Parfaite. Il a répondu, avec clarté, aux questions que beaucoup de dirigeants se posent aujourd'hui. Ce qu'on a vu ensemble : ✅ Pourquoi ce texte marque un tournant dans la fiscalité des dirigeants et des investisseurs✅ Ce que le législateur cherche vraiment : justice fiscale ou reprise en main ?✅ Comment cette réforme s'inscrit dans un mouvement plus large engagé depuis plusieurs années✅ Pourquoi le traitement fiscal des management packages posait autant de problèmes jusqu'à maintenant✅ Ce que le nouvel article 163 bis H change concrètement : codification, présomption, seuil de performance✅ Comment le fisc distinguera désormais un gain salarial d'un gain patrimonial✅ Quelles conditions remplir pour rester en plus-value : performance, risque, absence de lien hiérarchique..✅ Ce qu'il faut penser du seuil de performance fixé à 3 fois la progression de valeur✅ Les schémas classiques (BSPCE, BSA, AGA…) sont-ils encore viables ?✅ Est-ce que ça touche aussi les opérations d'apport-cession, donations, holdings ?✅ Quel impact de l'amendement Charasse et des nouvelles jurisprudences ? En clair :

Au programme de cette édition :Apparus en France lors de l'essor d'Internet, les Management Packages sont des mécanismes de fidélisation et d'intéressement au développement de l'entreprise. Cette pratique a connu un vif succès et a suscité la curiosité de l'administration fiscale. Il devenait nécessaire de préciser son traitementVincent Berger et Marion Irlinger de KPMG Avocats nous expliquent en quoi la loi de finances pour 2025 clarifie le traitement des Management Packages sur le plan fiscal et social

Et si la VRAIE liberté financière passait par... la reprise d'entreprises ? 

Pour intéresser les personnes clés d'une société, les management packages sont devenus monnaie courante, particulièrement dans le cadre des LBO. Parmi les outils d'intéressement disponibles, l'attribution gratuite d'actions (AGA) est le plus utilisé.J'ai eu le plaisir d'échanger avec Pascal Gour, avocat associé chez Jeausserand Audouard sur ce sujet de haute voltige (surtout depuis les nouveautés de la LF 2025...).Ensemble, nous avons exploré :- Pourquoi les AGA sont le mécanisme le plus utilisé dans les manpack ?- L'utilisation des AGA avec ses contraintes (périodes d'acquisition, conservation...)- Les pièges courants lors de la mise en place des AGA (départ du bénéficiaire, actions de préférence, PEA...)

Dans ce nouvel épisode de Une Cession Presque Parfaite, j'ai reçu Eric Le Poole, entrepreneur et investisseur qui a réalisé un OBO sur sa propre entreprise avant de la vendre avec succès.On a parlé en détail de cette opération qui permet de récupérer des liquidités tout en gardant les commandes.L'OBO (Owner Buy Out) est un mécanisme encore peu connu par de nombreux dirigeants de PME. Pourtant, cette opération permet de réaliser un cash-out (récupérer une partie de la valeur de votre entreprise) tout en conservant le contrôle.Concrètement, comment ça fonctionne ?

Der Start in das LBO-Jahr 2024 war äußerst verhalten – doch mit einem kräftigen Endspurt wurde das Vorjahr sogar noch übertroffen. Welche Treiber waren am Werk, und was dürfen wir für 2025 erwarten? Der brandneue MidCap-Monitor von Houlihan Lokey ist unser Aufhänger für eine tiefgehende Analyse und einen optimistischen Ausblick.

In this episode, we break down how Free Cash Flow is calculated in an LBO and why it matters for debt repayment. We discuss the key components of FCF, the difference between levered and unlevered FCF, and how companies prioritize different types of debt repayments.

Our Head of Corporate Credit Research and Head of Retail Consumer Credit discuss what choppy demand and tariff risk could mean for sectors that depend on consumer spending.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Head of Corporate Credit Research at Morgan Stanley.Jenna Gianelli: I'm Jenna Gianelli, Head of Retail Consumer Credit, here at Morgan Stanley.Andrew Sheets: And today on this episode, we're going to discuss the outlook for the retail and consumer sectors.It's Wednesday, Jan 29th at 9 am in New York.So, Jenna, it's great to talk with you, and it's really great to talk about the retail and consumer sectors heading into 2025, because it's such an important part of the investor debate. On the one hand, a lot of economic data in the U.S. seems strong, including a very low unemployment rate. And yet, we're also hearing a lot about cost-of-living pressures on consumers, lower consumer confidence, and investor concern that the consumer is just not going to be able to hold up in this higher rate environment. And then you can layer on uncertainty from the new administration. Will we see tariffs? How large will they be? And how will retailers, which often import a lot of their goods, handle those changes?So, maybe just kind of starting off at a 40, 000-foot view, how are you thinking about consumer dynamics going into 2025?Jenna Gianelli: Of course. So, I think that that choppy consumer demand environment is actually one of the strongest pillars of our more cautious view, going into next year. How the sector, performed last year was not in tandem with kind of what the macro headlines suggested. The macro headlines were quite positive, and the consumer was, you know, seemingly strong. But there was a lot going on under the hood when you looked at different dichotomies, right? So, if you looked at the high-end versus the low-end, if you looked at goods versus services. And then within, you know, certain categories, there were categories that were, you know, really quite strong based on what the consumer was prioritizing – goods, essentials, personal care, beauty, right? And then there were others that they really shied away from.So, I think what we're going to see in 2025 is quite a bit more of that. When we think that the high-end will continue to be resilient, that pressure on the low-income consumer will continue. But actually moderate potentially as into [20]25, as we think about lower interest rates, potentially, you know, lesser immigration and so less competition for jobs at the lower income level. So maybe even some tailwinds, but it's really an alleviation of pressure and easier compares. But we do expect overall some deceleration, right? Because we had a lot of pent-up demand, especially on the high-end.So, we are expecting services, demand to slow, in 2025 and goods actually to hold up relatively well. So, we really are focused on what's going on at the individual category level and the different types of consumers that we're looking at.Andrew Sheets: And as you think about some of those, you know, subcategories that you, you cover, maybe just a minute on a couple that you think will perform the best over this year and some that you think might face the biggest challenges.Jenna Gianelli: There are some that have been under relative pressure, in [20]23 and [20]24 where we might actually see some, you know, relief. Now, depending on the direction of rates in the housing market, we could see and expect to see an uptick in bigger ticket spending, durables, home related, that have been under, you know, some pressure.And also, you know, categories where, you know, the consumer, they're arguably discretionary. But maybe they pulled back because there was a big surge in demand just post-COVID. Pet in our universe is actually one example of those, where it's been a bit depressed and we actually expect to see, you know, some recovery into next year; also tied to housing right as new house formation starts.So, but again, a lot of that is predicated on the, you know, housing direction of rates and some of these other macro factors. I'd say, irrespective of the more macro influences, we do still expect that essentials – grocery, and certain categories like a beauty, pockets of apparel and brands, right? It really comes down to the brands, the brand heat, the brand relevance. If it's relevant to the consumer, they're going to spend on it. And so, that's where we really focus on the micro level; our picks of which brands are resonating, which categories are resonating. Which is, those are some of the, you know, the few that we're expecting, either a recovery in or still, you know, relative, outperformance.I'd say on the laggard side, which is probably the next piece of that question. I mean, look, there's still a lot of secular headwinds at play. And so, you know, from a department store perspective outside of event risk or idiosyncratic risk, we're still generally expecting department stores and kind of traditional specialty apparel, mall-based, with not a lot of channel diversification to still generally underperform and see similar trends they've seen the last few years.Andrew Sheets: So, Jenna, your sector is sitting at the center of this kind of very interesting economic debate over how healthy the consumer really is. And, you know, it's also sitting at the center of the policy debate because tariffs are a dynamic that could dramatically affect retailers depending on how large they are and how they're implemented.So how do you think about tariff risk? And can you give some sense of how you think about exposure of your sector to those dynamics?Jenna Gianelli: So, tariffs and policy risk and the uncertainty, is one of the big reasons. And when we think about, you know, retail – and particularly discretionary retail – why we're more cautious on the space into [20]25. Tariffs is the biggest piece of that. The degrees of exposure across our universe, varying degrees to a very wide range, right? So, we have some that are minimal, you know, let's say 5 per cent out of, you know, China sourcing some up to 70 per cent out of China sourcing. And then you layer in, well, what about goods from Canada and Mexico and what if there's a universal tariff?And so, the range of outcomes, is, you know, so significant. And so, what we are advocating to investors is that we go in with the expectation that tariffs are a – an uncertain, but certain threat, right? And not completely minimizing them within a portfolio but reducing the ones that do tend to have those higher, you know, exposures.I'd say the range from when we stress tested the earnings headwinds potential. I mean, it was anything from call it down 10 per cent EBITDA to down 60-70 per cent EBITDA in the most draconian scenarios. And so, I think taking a very prudent approach, assuming that there will be some level of tariffs phased in, you know; if we look back to the 2018 timeframe – different sets of goods, different times, different rates and go from there.Andrew Sheets: So, Jenna, we've talked about the economy. We've talked about some of the policy and tariff risk potentially impacting consumer and retail. You know, a third really key strategic theme for us is more corporate activity, more M&A. And again, I think this is where your sector is so interesting because you were already kind of in the center of some of these debates, last year with corporate activity.So, can you talk a little bit about how you see that? And again, you also have this interesting dynamic that some of the targets of M&A activity in your sector were some of the businesses that were kind of struggling, that were kind of seen as some of these laggards. And so how does that just represent different investor views of their prospects? How do you think people should think about that going forward?Jenna Gianelli: So, look, I think M&A could have positive risk for 2025 and also negative risk for some of our companies. And it really depends, at least from a credit perspective, how we think about some of their indentures and bond language and likelihood of pro forma capital structures.But I think without getting, you know, too deep into that, our expectation is that M&A will increase. We know that there is private equity capital on the sidelines to the extent that rates, even if we're in a little bit of a higher for longer, if the expectation is that we do on the year [20]25 in a slightly lower regime, at least we have some stability or visibility on the rate front. Which should, you know, spur more corporate activity.And then also, I think, look, just equity valuations, right? I mean, our universe, particularly when you think about – the size of the equity check that you need to come in at and the valuations are a bit cheaper because across our universe, we did see some underperformance last year.So, I think those are the kind of main drivers of why we'll see the activity pick up on the underperforming pieces of the space. There are still pockets of value that I think private equity sponsors are seeing. The ones that have come up most notably are real estate, right? And, you know, we saw…Andrew Sheets: Because these retailers often own a large…Jenna Gianelli: Many of the department stores own a significant amount of their real estate. 20, 20, 40, 50 per cent depending on your, you know, assumptions and how you value this real estate. But even with conservative LTV assumptions, there is lending capability here. And I think so that's, you know, one piece of it, those that have multi-banner assets that appeal to different consumer cohorts, that have maybe a solid private label portfolio.When you think about intellectual property, there are real assets, for certain retailers. And so, I think that's what, you know, private equity historically has seen as the play. Now, how that manifests throughout the space? You know, from an LBO perspective; I do still think that getting a really large LBO for a traditional, you know, mature type of retailer could be challenging, but there are creative ways to get these deals done.And again, I think because of what we have is some legacy indentures, traditional, more investment grade style capital structures, there might be flexibility to approach, you know, LBOs in a more creative way – without having to access the capital markets in such a big way as maybe you would traditionally think.Andrew Sheets: And so, this would be examples of private equity firms coming in, doing an LBO or a leveraged buyout where you can actually almost take advantage of the borrowing that company has already done in the market…Jenna Gianelli: Yes. Keep the debt outstanding.Andrew Sheets: ... at attractive levels.Jenna Gianelli: Exactly. Exactly.Andrew Sheets: So, Jenna, it's so great to talk to you. Well, it's always great to talk to you, but it's so great to talk to you now because I do think, you know, as we, we look into 2025, I think there's always a lot of focus on, you know, the direction of markets, you know. Will rates go up or down? Will equities go up or down? But I think what's so clear talking to you about your sector is that there are all these themes that are really about dispersion. That we see, you know, really different trends by the type of consumer segment and sub segment; that we see very different trends by how exposed companies are to tariffs, right? You mentioned anything from, your earnings could be down 10 per cent to 60 per cent. And, you know, very different dynamics, you know, winners and losers from M&A.And so, I do think it just highlights that this is a year where, from the strategy side, we think spreads are kind of more range bound. But there does seem to be a lot of dispersion within the sector. And there seems like, well, there's going to be plenty that's going to keep you busy.Jenna Gianelli: I hope so.Andrew Sheets: Great. Jenna, thanks for taking the time to talk.Jena Gianelli: Thank you, Andrew.Andrew Sheets: Great. And thanks for listening.

Our Chief Fixed Income Strategist Vishy Tirupattur and Leveraged Finance Strategist Joyce Jiang discuss how the dynamic between private and public credit markets will evolve in 2025, and how each can find their own niches for success.----- Transcript -----Vishy Tirupattur: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I am Vishy Tirupattur, Morgan Stanley's Chief Fixed Income Strategist. Today we'll be talking about how private credit has evolved over 2024 and the outlook for 2025. I'm joined by my colleague, Joyce Jiang, from our Leveraged Finance Strategy team.It's Tuesday, December 3rd at 10am in New York.A lot has happened over 2024 in private credit. We are credit people. Let's talk about defaults and returns. How has 2024 been thus far for private credit in terms of defaults and returns?Joyce Jiang: It's always tricky to talk about defaults in private credit because the reported measures tend to vary a lot depending on how defaults are defined and calculated. Using S&P's credit estimate defaults as a proxy for the overall private credit defaults, we see that defaults appear to have peaked, and the peak level was significantly lower than during the COVID cycle.Since then, defaults have declined and converged to levels seen in public loans. In this cycle, the elevated policy rates have clearly weighed on the credit fundamentals, but direct lenders and sponsors have worked proactively to help companies extending maturities and converting debt into PIK loans. Also, the high level of dry powder enabled both private credit and PE funds to provide liquidity support, keeping default rates relatively contained.From a returns perspective for credit investors, the appeal of private credit comes from the potential for higher and more stable returns, and also its role as a portfolio diversifier. Data from Lincoln International shows that over the past seven years, direct lending loans have outperformed single B public loans in total return terms by approximately 2.3 percentage point annually, largely driven by the better carry profile. And this year, although the spread premium has narrowed, private credit continues to generate higher returns.So, Vishy, credit spreads are close to historical tights. And the market conditions have clearly improved compared to last year. With that, the competition between the public and private credit has intensified. How do you see this dynamic playing out between these two markets?Vishy Tirupattur: The competition between public and private credit has indeed intensified, especially as the broadly syndicated market reopened with some vigor this year.While the public market has regained some share it lost to private credit, I think it is important to note that the activity has been, especially the financing activity, has been really more two-way. Improved market conditions have lured some of the borrowers back to the public markets from private credit markets due to cheaper funding costs.At the same time, borrowers with lower rating or complex capital structure seem to continue to favor private credit markets. So, there is really a lot of give and take between the two markets. Also, traditionally, private credit markets have played a major role in financing LBOs or leveraged buyouts. Its importance has really grown during the last Fed's hiking cycle when elevated policy rates and bouts of market turmoil weaken banks' risk appetite and tighten the public-funding access to many leveraged borrowers.Then, as the Fed's policy tightening ended, and uncertainty about the future direction of policy rates began to fade, deal activity rebounded in both markets, and more materially in public markets. This really led to a decline in the share of LBOs financed by private credit. Of course, the two markets tend to cater for deals of different sizes. Private credit is playing a bigger role in smaller size deals and a broadly syndicated loan market is relatively much more active in larger sized LBOs. So, overall, public credit is both a complement and competitor to private credit markets.Joyce Jiang: The decline in spread basis is evident in larger companies, but more recently, the spread basis have even compressed within smaller-sized deals, although they don't have the access to public credit. This is likely due to some private credit funds shifting their focuses to deals down in the site spectrum. So, the growing competition got spilled over to the lower middle-market segment as well. In addition to pricing conversions, we've also seen a gradual erosion in covenant quality in private credit deals. Some data sources noted that covenant packages have increasingly favored borrowers, a reflection of the heightened competition between these two markets.So Vishy, looking ahead, how do you see this competition between public and private credit evolving in 2025, and what implications might this have for returns?Vishy Tirupattur:, The competition, I think, will persist in [the ]next year. We have seen strong demand from hold to maturity investors, such as insurance companies and pension funds; and this demand, we think, will continue to sustain, so the appetite for private credit from these investors would be there.On the supply side, the deal volume has been light over the last couple of years. Next year, acquisition LBO activity, likely to pick up more materially given the solid macro backdrop, lower rates that we expect, and sponsor pressure to return capital to investors. So, in 2025, we could see greater specialization in terms of deal financing. Instead of competing directly for deals, public and private credit markets can find their own niches. For example, public credit might dominate larger deals, while private credit could further strengthen its competitive advantage within smaller size deals or with companies that value its unique advantages, such as the flexible terms and speed of execution.Regarding returns, while spread premium in private credit has indeed come down, a pickup in deal activity could to some extent be a release valve. But sustained competition may keep the spreads tight. Overall, private credit should continue to offer attractive returns, although with tighter margins compared to historical levels.Joyce, it was great speaking with you on today's podcast.Joyce Jiang: Thank you, Vishy, for having me.Vishy Tirupattur: Thank you all for listening.
