Situation.
Investor evaluating an automotive value-chain acquisition with approximately EUR 300m revenue.
Due diligence.
Automotive business
Challenge.
The outlook depended on powertrain transition and OEM platform decisions outside the target’s control. Approximately 60% of revenue was on internal-combustion platforms.
What we did.
Conducted commercial diligence on demand, customer concentration and technology exposure, with downside scenarios.
The outcome.
The downside case showed approximately 35% revenue exposure at risk by the end of the hold period, resetting the entry-valuation discussion.
Anonymised engagement. Figures are approximate. Targets, assessed potential, approved programmes and realised results are described separately in the outcome. Converted amounts use ECB reference rates dated 18 September 2026, rounded to two significant figures.
