**TO:** M&A Steering Committee
**FROM:** Due Diligence Lead Analyst
**DATE:** 2025-08-13
**SUBJECT:** Executive Summary of Due Diligence Findings for Lewis-Coffey (Deal ID: MNA-2024-SPRING783)

This document summarizes the results of the comprehensive due diligence process for the potential acquisition of Lewis-Coffey. The review period commenced on 2024-06-01 and concluded on 2024-06-09, involving extensive analysis by our internal teams and external consultants. The team's general sentiment, following several late-night sessions and copious amounts of coffee, is cautiously optimistic.

From a financial perspective, Lewis-Coffey exhibits a volatile revenue growth trend. Our analysis of the past three years of performance data indicates an average EBITDA margin of 18.6% and a net profit margin of 7.3%. The company's balance sheet is characterized by a complex debt structure. Valuation notes highlight that the intellectual property portfolio (architect frictionless mindshare) valued as a key intangible asset.

The legal review encompassed an examination of 127 key commercial agreements. Of significant note is the confirmation of no active, material litigations. Operationally, the target's supply chain is assessed as single-sourced, while its technological backbone is considered largely state-of-the-art.

The investigation surfaced several key risks. A high-severity market risk was identified concerning 'Significant exposure to synergize killer experiences.'. The potential financial impact of this particular issue is estimated to be in the range of $6,664,876. 
Ultimately, considering the complete findings and the medium overall risk profile, the formal recommendation is to **Renegotiate terms**. </data>
