Engagement Objectives:

  • Rapidly (within 90 days) pinpoint financial waste within existing lease portfolio and loan obligations.
  • Identify opportunities to increase EBITDA.
  • Advise client on resolving conflicts between leasing contracts and asset “keep/replace/disposal” game plan.
  • Benchmark pricing, set standards and compliance methods on a go-forward basis with all lease providers.

Engagement Objectives:

  • Lack of availability of accurate and complete lease documentation data.
  • Unclear, undetermined, equipment useful life strategy, creating an internal culture of indecisiveness.
  • Capital approval budget timing was “out of sync” with lease expiration dates, equipment useful life, and rising repair and maintenance costs.

Client Results

  • $1.1 million in savings by paying off egregiously high interest rates.
  • $4.2 million in net asset gain by purchasing $4.7 million in equipment from lease provider for $500,000 in cash.
