Search the data room by meaning and relationship

An agent understands the current work context, combines RAG with a knowledge graph, and returns answers connected to source evidence.

One search experience across Chat and Grid

Whether the question starts from the project or a selected risk, the same search engine finds the evidence and connects the answer to its exact source location.

Specialty-material cost exposure and EBITDA normalization

Background

Earnings exposed to seasonality, FX, channel mix, and supplier concentration

Issue Findings

Margin compression, mixed recovery indicators, and unquantified normalization inputs

Hidden Information

Follow-on performance for pricing, inventory, and temporary material-cost effects

Diligence Theme

Diligence Topic

Evidence

Revenue, margin, EBITDA, procurement, FX, and supplier data

The full adjusted EBITDA is not currently defensible. Reported EBITDA is the firmest starting point, while management's bridge relies on a complete reversal of the material-cost shock and budget-based run-rate benefits.

Defensible underwriting range

Underwrite €7.0–8.0m, with €7.5m as the base case. Treat EBITDA above €8.0m as contingent upside until the missing monthly evidence is delivered.

What drives the gap

  • Supplier concentration. 74% of purchases sit with one supplier on FX-linked terms.
  • FX and price pass-through. Input cost rose 16%, while pricing reached only selected channels.
  • Channel mix. Markdown and outlet mix absorb part of the recovery.

Evidence still missing

Monthly purchase prices and FX, SKU-level pass-through, actual new-site EBITDA, and an independent supplier benchmark.
