Financial Analyses

When underwriting a business transaction, an important component in testing the viability of a project is to complete a prospective financial analysis. This analysis allows a business owner or operator to assess whether the operation's income producing ability is sufficient to meet its cost and, if applicable, its debt service obligations. Additionally, it provides a baseline to evaluate sensitivity analyses on revenue and expenses in light of future economic trends.

CHM GS has performed thousands of such analyses for recreation, hospitality and mission critical operations. We have evaluated the prospective financial performance of singular operations as well as complex, full-service facilities. We rely on market analysis and historical performance to the extent available. We also leverage a database of public and private sector financial performance information we have built over the years, which reflects actual facility operations on Federal and State lands and for private sector land uses.

Investment Analyses

CHM GS employs a discounted cashflow analysis approach in evaluating the degree to which a specific investment opportunity meets client return expectations. Once a prospective financial analysis has been completed, we work to determine the upfront and on-going investment requirements of the business opportunity. We then work to evaluate the risks associated with the investment and operations. In many cases, these can include an element of risk related to natural resources, mission, construction, economic or other risks.

CHM GS have completed these analyses for a host of recreational and hospitality-related assets. Our analysis is objective and actionable. We have developed proprietary models that allow us to make real-time changes to assumptions so our clients can immediately see the possible effects of these changes. Our models incorporate a fully integrated approach to investment analysis and project feasibility and have been lauded by our clients for their simplicity in what is often a very complex transaction.
