Industry: F&B, Entertainment & Real Estate

Client: A diversified business conglomerate headquartered in KSA, operating across multiple sectors, seeking to support its expansion plans through an financial model that provides a consolidated view of the business while enabling capital budgeting and strategic investment decision-making.

 

Problems

The existing model had several limitations:

  • High-level P&L forecasting based on percentage growth rather than business drivers, making it less reliable for investors.
  • Assumptions embedded into the formula and staggered across the workbook, making it less transparent and difficult to audit.
  • Extensive off-sheet references and inter-sheet links increased model complexity, making it difficult to audit and reducing transparency.
  • Hardcoded financing assumptions with no flexibility for future equity or debt funding.
  • Lacked a rolling forecast structure, with historical data hardcoded over forecast formulas, making forecast tracking and variance analysis impossible.
  • The model consists of only P&L and Cash flow with no integrated Balance Sheet.
  • No dashboard or visualization to analyse the business performance.
  • No scenario analysis to evaluate different business outcomes.

  • A driver-based forecasting model where revenues and costs are linked to operational assumptions, making forecasts more realistic, dynamic, and easy to update.
  • Integrated three statements (PL, BS and CF) on the entity and consolidated level to review the overall business.
  • A dynamic financing modules with flexible debt and equity funding options at subsidiary and parent company level.
  • A rolling forecast mechanism that updates historical data without replacing formulas, enabling continuous forecast tracking and variance analysis.

  • A model structure with improved transparency, usability, and auditability.
