A Message from EPOCH Pi Leadership: Navigating COVID-19 Together

These past few months have been a study in resilience — we know because we’ve been hard at work alongside you, helping to navigate these uncharted waters. But as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic mounts, we wanted to take a moment to let you all know how we’ve pivoted to address the challenges that come with the turbulent economic times we’re facing today.

The EPOCH Pi team has over 25 years of meaningful experience advising in special situations to meet the needs of companies in periods of uncertainty and distress — from refinancings to bankruptcies and out-of-court restructurings. We’re putting that experience to use to help our community of purpose-driven businesses get through COVID-19 in the best financial shape possible. 

We’ve partnered with a national accounting firm with a unique big data capability that uses transaction-level sales, payroll and cost data to build detailed sophisticated financial scenarios. These economic and financial case scenarios inform short and mid-term strategic, operational and financial planning and are invaluable in providing credibility and addressing lender and investor due diligence questions. 

While this is a period of unprecedented economic upheaval, it results from an exogenous shock to an otherwise healthy financial system. Pre-COVID banks were well capitalized and there were more sources of debt and equity financing than at any time in history. After a period of record M&A activity over the past decade, the market faces unprecedented disruption and activity will decline. COVID-19’s impact is complicated and is likely to continue evolving. As companies look toward the future, we are committed to sharing guidance that will make this complex environment more manageable and seeing you survive, thrive and continue your impact in the world.
