Portfolio Monitoring

Workflow

Step 1: Ingest Financial Package

  • Accept the user's portfolio company financial package (Excel workbook, PDF, or CSV)
  • Extract key financials: Revenue, EBITDA, cash balance, debt outstanding, capex, working capital
  • Identify the reporting period and compare to prior period and budget/plan

Step 2: KPI Extraction & Variance Analysis

Key metrics to track (adapt to the company's sector):

Financial KPIs:

  • Revenue vs. budget ($ and %)
  • EBITDA and EBITDA margin vs. budget
  • Cash balance and net debt
  • Leverage ratio (Net Debt / LTM EBITDA)
  • Interest coverage ratio
  • Capex vs. budget
  • Free cash flow

Operational KPIs (ask user or infer from data):

  • Customer count / revenue per customer
  • Employee headcount / revenue per employee
  • Backlog / pipeline
  • Churn / retention rates

Step 3: Flag & Summarize

  • Green: Within 5% of plan
  • Yellow: 5-15% below plan — flag for discussion
  • Red: >15% below plan or covenant breach risk — immediate attention

Output a concise summary:

  1. One-paragraph executive summary ("Company X is tracking [ahead/behind/on] plan...")
  2. KPI table with actual vs. budget vs. prior period
  3. Red/yellow flags with context
  4. Covenant compliance status (if applicable)
  5. Questions for management

Step 4: Trend Analysis

If multiple periods are provided:

  • Chart key metrics over time (revenue, EBITDA, cash)
  • Identify trends — accelerating, decelerating, or stable
  • Compare vs. underwriting case

Important Notes

  • Always ask for the budget/plan to compare against if not provided
  • Don't assume sector-specific KPIs — ask what matters for this company
  • If covenant levels aren't known, ask the user for the credit agreement terms
  • Output should be board-ready — concise, factual, no fluff
