Task prompt
What the agent was asked to do
Using the LBO model, update the analysis to reflect a go-forward plan which emphasizes an increased investment on franchisee-owned stores. Output the implied Sponsor Equity Value and IRR for Year 5. Round percentages to 1 decimal point and round monetary values to the nearest whole million USD. Bear in mind: -Increase the "New stores opened" assumption for Franchisee-owned stores each quarter from 1QE 2026E through 4QE 2030E by 5.0% vs. the corresponding quarter in the base case -Adjust the "Same Store Sales" assumption for Franchisee-owned stores each quarter from 1QE 2026E through 4QE 2027E to 7.0%, and then from 1QE 2028E to 4QE 2030E, hold Same Store Sales assumption constant at 5.5% -Increase "Exit Multiple" assumption from 18.0x to 19.5x to account for the increased overall EBITDA margin of the business though franchise growth
