A Revised Proposal for Creating Value
at McDonald's
Further Upside to Our Valuation
Final Revised Proposal.ppt
Pershing's valuation is based on the business as it exists today, assuming no further
operational improvements.
► Pershing believes that creating a publicly traded arm's-length McOpCo will substantially improve
both top-line and bottom-line performance of McDonald's
■ We believe that McOpCo has EBITDA margins of roughly 7.3% (post corporate allocation) (1)
Based on comparable restaurant businesses, we believe McOpCo is capable of achieving at
least 10% EBITDA margins
► However, Pershing has assumed no incremental operational improvements as part of its valuation
We also see potential G&A improvement as an additional opportunity
Standalone McDonald's LTM 9/30/05 G&A per systemwide unit of $68k versus YUM! Brands
LTM 9/30/05 G&A per systemwide unit of approximately $35k
We have not included an IPO / potential spin-off of Chipotle as part of our analysis
► IPO and potential spin-off of Chipotle will create additional value for investors
(1) McOpCo EBITDA margins are after adjusting for a market rent and franchise fee and allocating 25% of McDonald's consolidated G&A to McOpCo.
