With our integrated team of specialists, KPMG provides guidance during critical periods, helping you deliver tangible results for your stakeholders.
Operational Restructuring
To overcome operational or financial challenges and improve performance, it is essential to quickly stabilize your cash and liquidity position while taking a realistic view of available options.
We offer a tailored approach to stabilizing underperforming businesses by identifying and assessing strategic, operational, organizational, and financial transformation opportunities to deliver measurable outcomes. By evaluating your liquidity position and establishing a stakeholder management plan, we help lay a solid foundation for recovery.
With our integrated team, we support you in focusing on key questions to achieve operational optimization:
- Option Identification: How can I assess my options quickly and effectively?
- Stabilization: How can I stabilize operations and evaluate my financial position?
- Solution Strategy: What are the financial returns of different options?
- Execution: How can I ensure full implementation of the chosen strategy?
- Value Realization: What are the risks and costs associated with each option, including contingency plans?
Financial Restructuring
When a company faces financial distress, stakeholders often require additional information or resources to restore confidence. We help you navigate the complex landscape of borrowers, lenders, and shareholders, enabling effective stakeholder communication and informed decision-making. We also support the rapid assessment of short-term liquidity needs and actions required to preserve value and address potential risks that may hinder stabilization.
As part of restructuring processes, we prepare the Independent Business Review (IBR), providing an objective and independent assessment of your current financial position.
With our integrated team, we help you focus on key considerations to enable sustainable operational and financial transformation:
- Assessment and Stabilization: Do I have sufficient liquidity to sustain operations?
- Option Evaluation: Do I understand what went wrong and how to address it?
- Stakeholder Negotiations: How can I keep all parties engaged in the process?
- Option Development: Which sustainable capital structure offers the best chance of success?
- Implementation: How can I align all stakeholders to implement the new capital structure?
- Ongoing Monitoring: How can I ensure continuous improvement and business stability?
Controlled Exit Strategies
During periods of distress, management teams face multiple competing challenges. In such situations, we support you in assessing your position and, where necessary, developing a practical exit or wind-down strategy. By working closely with you and your stakeholders, we help identify the most value-maximizing path forward.
We assist in evaluating the impact and risks of different options and in developing a detailed strategy plan that optimizes stakeholder outcomes. Throughout the process, we support your organization in restoring financial stability and resilience.
With our integrated team, we help you focus on key questions throughout the planning, execution, and completion of a controlled exit process:
- Distressed Business Assessment: How critical is the situation?
- Exit Planning: What are my available options?
- Initiation of the Process: What steps should be taken once formal proceedings begin?
- Execution: How can I maximize value realization?
- Exit from Formal Proceedings: How can the business return to normal operations?
