Business Restructuring and Performance Improvement - Ernst & Young - Russia

Business Restructuring and Performance Improvement

Are cash flows lower than they could be? Having problems with efficiency, liquidity or debt repayment? Whether you are a shareholder, creditor or executive, we are here to help.

In today’s rapidly evolving market, even a once successful company may be at risk. Should your company or your borrower face any financial or operational challenges, we stand ready to help you stabilize the situation, reinforce your management team and assist in conducting negotiations as well as in developing and implementing a performance improvement plan.

Our team includes professionals with cutting-edge experience who have worked on some of the biggest and most complex restructuring projects in the CIS. During the recent crisis alone, we were involved in restructuring over USD 35 bln in corporate loans in such areas as ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy, the financial sector, machine building, auto retail, electric power and the oil and gas industry. We have also assisted clients in managing distressed assets, improving cash flows, discontinuing operations and addressing other complex issues.

When a debtor is on shaky financial footing, expertise and timing are critical. We don’t use your projects as a learning experience; we provide time-proven plans of action fine-tuned to meet your particular needs. Our people are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and can come to your assistance on short notice.

Our role in restructuring is not confined to financial analysis. We work closely with a company’s staff and/or representatives of its creditors to share insights and competencies, engage in developing and implementing turnaround programs, renegotiating debt and agreeing necessary documentation as well as tackling various other issues.

We offer a broad range of restructuring services to company owners, creditors and other stakeholders.
