This document summarizes the results of the comprehensive due diligence process for the potential acquisition of Sanford PLC. The review period commenced on 2023-09-23 and concluded on 2023-09-29, 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, Sanford PLC exhibits a stable revenue growth trend. Our analysis of the past three years of performance data indicates an average EBITDA margin of 11.5% and a net profit margin of 7.3%. The company's balance sheet is characterized by a moderate debt structure. 

The legal review encompassed an examination of 186 key commercial agreements. Of significant note is the confirmation of no active, material litigations. Operationally, the target's supply chain is assessed as robust, while its technological backbone is considered largely hybrid.

The investigation surfaced several key risks. A high-severity market risk was identified concerning 'Significant exposure to grow mission-critical platforms.'.
