**TO:** M&A Steering Committee
**FROM:** Due Diligence Lead Analyst
**DATE:** 2025-08-13
**SUBJECT:** Executive Summary of Due Diligence Findings for Sanchez-Miller (Deal ID: MNA-2024-THING971)

This document summarizes the results of the comprehensive due diligence process for the potential acquisition of Sanchez-Miller. The review period commenced on 2024-12-19 and concluded on 2025-03-16, 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, Sanchez-Miller exhibits a positive revenue growth trend. Our analysis of the past three years of performance data indicates an average EBITDA margin of 19.6% and a net profit margin of 9.8%. The company's balance sheet is characterized by a moderate debt structure. Valuation notes highlight that the intellectual property portfolio (target dynamic interfaces) valued as a key intangible asset.

The legal review encompassed an examination of 489 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 modernized.

The investigation surfaced several key risks. A low-severity financial risk was identified concerning 'Significant risk from matrix interactive ROI.'. 
Ultimately, considering the complete findings and the medium overall risk profile, the formal recommendation is to **Renegotiate terms**. </data>
