The Problem with the Status Quo

When was the last time that you re-evaluated the costs of raw materials, inputs, supplies, or any other products heavily utilized by your portfolio companies?

A huge portion of raw materials, inputs and products purchased by most businesses are branded products purchased through distributors, who together capture up to 50% of the retail price in the value chain.

Small quantities or infrequent product purchases are a perfect fit for the distributor model.

Once an operation is at scale, the status quo of never looking for an alternative can cost significant profit potential.

On $1MM of yearly purchases shifted to Array, we cut costs by 25% = $250,000 of incremental yearly EBITDA

10.png

At 4-12x multiples, that translates into $1MM-$3MM of enterprise value on exit

For 3 portfolio companies, that leads to $3MM-9MM of realized enterprise value
