Industry LBO execution

How to model an LBO for Europe Data Centers assets

Direct answer

For Europe Data Centers buyouts, the LBO model should anchor on revenue per mw contracted and explicitly stress power cost pass-through lag plus fit-out capex overruns. Underwriting quality comes from converting operating assumptions into cash conversion cases, then testing debt service under downside, base, and control-upside scenarios.

Core risk factors

  • Power cost pass-through lag
  • Fit-out capex overruns
  • Hyperscaler concentration
