6. Returns Analysis — Scenario Matrix
5-year hold, 5.5x leverage, 3% organic growth, 10%/yr debt paydown. Base case uses 100% of predicted RCM uplift. Bull case: 130% uplift at lower entry. Bear case: 50% uplift at higher entry.
| Scenario | Entry | Exit | Equity In | Equity Out | MOIC | IRR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base Case | 10.0x | 10.0x | $-5.7M | $-22.0M | 0.00x | -100.0% |
| Base (11x exit) | 10.0x | 11.0x | $-5.7M | $-26.1M | 0.00x | -100.0% |
| Bull Case | 9.0x | 11.0x | $-5.1M | $-27.2M | 0.00x | -100.0% |

7. Key Risks & Mitigants
| Severity | Risk Factor | Mitigant |
|---|---|---|
| High | Negative operating margin | RCM uplift bridge shows clear path to profitability; working capital release provides near-term cash cushion |
| Medium | Low occupancy | At 30.7%, fixed costs are spread over fewer patient days. Mitigant: volume growth is an additional upside lever not modeled in base case |
| High | Elevated distress probability | Model estimates 54.1% probability of financial distress. Mitigant: distressed entry pricing (7-9x) compensates for risk |
