Shorten your diligence cycle:
Models built by Orbis consulting get deals done

The question really is: "Can you do an infrastructure deal without a well-structured financial model?"

Financing large infrastructure projects requires long development timelines and many partners. During that process, each part of the financing ecosystem requires a plan for how to move forward. And a well-structured model can help. Equity or development partners, lenders, advisors, and private or government off-takers will all need to know how to ameliorate the risks associated with their participation. Orbis modelers have deep experience evaluating:
  • Availability payment structures
  • Merchant, contracted cash flow
  • Value for money analysis
  • Equity waterfalls
  • Highly structured debt financings

“When should I get my financial model in order?”

Infrastructure development adheres to a timeline all its own. The sooner your model is ready to help you and your partners make critical decisions, the smoother the process will go. Orbis can help.

Milestones when an Orbis model can help inform how your deal should proceed include:

Should I pay for pre-development studies?

Am I getting a good deal with my engineering procurement and construction (EPC) contract?

Will my off-take arrangement help or hurt my deal?

Case studies

Project finance modeling for infrastructure

Orbis worked with a toll road in the south of the US on devising a financing strategy that would enable them to renegotiate more flexible debt terms with existing and prospective new lenders. Orbis modelers devised a means to optimize the client’s debt payments over as many as 7 tranches of financing. The model Orbis constructed was used directly during lender negotiations and provided a path toward solvency for the toll road.
