When determining value for a company based on transaction rather than trading comps, one of the key differences that will affect the value is:
- Lack of a comparable universe
- Premium paid for control of the business
- Unavailable historical information
- Target was never public
Why is Offer Value / EBITDA not an appropriate multiple to use in Transaction Comparables Analyses?
- Because Offer Value ignores the Valuation from other Public Market investors
- Because Offer Value does not include a Control Premium into the Valuation
- Because Offer Value is an Equity Value metric, while EBITDA is an Enterprise Value metric
- Because Offer Value is equivalent to Enterprise Value, and should not be divided by EBITDA
