A private equity roll-up is the process of acquiring and merging multiple smaller businesses in the same industry into one larger consolidated company. This strategy is attractive because the market generally rewards scale with a higher valuation. More specifically, the market is generally willing to pay a higher multiple of EBITDA to acquire a larger business. This means that the sponsor (i.e., private equity firm or independent sponsor) behind the roll-up is likely to benefit from multiple arbitrage at exit.There are additional benefits to roll-ups including economies of scale and cross-selling, but multiple arbitrage is one of the strongest value drivers. So, this post and the associated workbook will focus exclusively on value creation via multiple arbitrage. If you would like to follow along, please download the Excel workbook.

This platform is generally purchased at a higher multiple of EBITDA than the smaller businesses that follow. But once an add-on acquisition has been successfully integrated, the combined platform’s earnings are valued at the higher multiple (multiple arbitrage). If that sounds a little abstract, the example that follows should provide clarity.Private Equity Roll-Up Example: Four AcquisitionsIn this post and the associated video (shorter version on TikTok), we are going to explore how this process works by looking at four acquisitions, including a platform and three add-on acquisitions. Most roll-ups take time. A private equity firm will identify an attractive platform and then source add-on acquisition targets to create scale over the course of the hold period. To emphasize the value creation realized with multiple arbitrage, we are going to assume that all four transactions take place in chronological order on a single day. This allows us to eliminate variables like interest expense and debt amortization, which makes it easier to focus on the benefits of multiple expansion.In the image visible below, you will see the four acquisitions requ……a rollOn a Roll-rn

The fusion of camera and radar technology employed on the Active Brake Assist 5 function, a feature of the new Western Star 49X, detects distance and speed to moving and stationary objects in its path.What this does is help determine if braking is necessary.Working down as low as 8km/h, it’s the only system on the market capable of doing so at that speed.Robert Land, National Manager Land Transport is certainly partial to it.“I always like new tech that comes out,” he says. “It’s always evolving and that’s a good thing. I’ve found the radar on the truck picks up stuff on its approach really well.”Active Brake Assist 5, in which the driver initially receives a simultaneous visual dash alert and pulsating warning tone before it escalates to a warning with partial braking and eventually engages in full braking and solid warning tone, should there be no subsequent input from the driver, is one of a host of cutting-edge features that make the new X-Series the most technologically advanced Western Star truck platform yet.“Any new tech nowadays is a massive help,” adds Robert who has overseen the introduction of two new units from the Western Star X-Series both 49Xs. The first of which entered operations in propitious circumstances.It a roll coincided with a 40th anniversary celebration the company held over Easter at its home base in Toowoomba where 200 guests connected to the family, business associates, key suppliers and customers were in attendance.Local dealership Pengelly Trucks & Trailers had the vehicle, painted especially for the occasion, a roll ready in time for the event.“We had it painted red, white and blue in the same colour scheme as our first two Western Stars back in 1994,” says Robert.“The truck was very much a tribute for both the business and Scott Pengelly, given those inaugural Western Stars in our business were also two of the first trucks he sold.”Robert’s father Barry, Director of Land Transport, was only aware of a new truck purchase.After all he was paying for it. But his sons had kept the details secret.The throwback heritage design made for a nice surprise. The second Western Star a roll 49X arrived in late July. It too was delivered by Penge……

a rollThe Basics of Aircraft Axes： Pitch, Yaw and Roll-rn

While in the process of accomplishing a private certificate, pilots delve into the intricacies of aeronautics throughout ground school.It is crucial a roll to learn about and understand aircraft axes, specifically pitch, yaw, roll, and the basic forces imposing themselves on an aircraft, along with how to work with them, rather than against them.Pilots who do so are safer in the skies, more guarded against emergencies, and better prepared for future and more intensive study.Working with the aircraft axes of pitch, yaw, and roll is a task learned both in the classroom as well as in the cockpit.The first aspect of flight student pilots must grasp is the concept of aircraft axes: that flying an airplane is a three-dimensional task.It is unlike driving a motor vehicle down the street or sailing a boat on the surface of water. Once an airplane is in the sky, these three dimensions affect it, and a good pilot comprehends what this means.Gaining at least a working understanding of how pitch, yaw, and roll work can be applied to aircraft operation, no matter its shape or how large or small a plane it might be.From the most imposing airship to the nimblest glider, these a roll aircraft axes are at work upon every manmade object in the sky.Pitch refers to the rotation of the aircraft around a side-to-side axis.It can be thought of as the “up and down” or “nodding” motion of the airplane. Control of pitch is what most clearly differentiates operating an aircraft in the sky from any Earth-bound vehicle. This includes the act of maneuvering an airplane on the runway. The axis of the pitch lies along the wings of the airplane. No matter how long or short, swept-back or forward an airplane’s wings are, the pitch axis is always at a ninety-degree angle to the center of the aircraft. This is called pitch, also known as the lateral axis or the transverse axis.Pilots control pitch through use of the elevator. The elevator creates lift for the aircraft. It sits on the aircraft’s horizontal stabilizer. Understanding pitch took place early in manned aviation; the first successful manned aircraft, the Wright Brother’s 1903 Wright Flyer, boasted an elevator, although it was s……
