What is Enterprise Value (EV)?

Enterprise Value (EV) is a measure of a company's total value, often used as a more comprehensive alternative to equity market capitalization. EV includes in its calculation the market capitalization of a company but also short-term and long-term debt as well as any cash on the company's balance sheet.

The EV/EBITDA multiple is a financial ratio that compares a company's Enterprise Value (EV) to its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA). It is widely used in M&A and valuation because it allows for comparisons between companies with different capital structures and provides a clear view of operational profitability.

Context

Koesio has acquired 100% of Alcatraz IT, marking the full exit of Siparex Entrepreneurs (via its Capital Entrepreneurs 5 fund) and the founder, Xavier Lafaure. Siparex had been a minority shareholder since 2021, during which time it supported the company's expansion into the Lille market and the development of proprietary fiber infrastructure. The transaction allows Alcatraz IT to integrate into a larger industrial group to accelerate its next growth phase. For Koesio, this acquisition strengthens its telecommunications pillar by incorporating Alcatraz IT’s proprietary network assets and high-loyalty premium customer portfolio. The company was projected to reach a turnover of €6 million at the time of the sale.

ALCATRAZ IT, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2024, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the TMT (Tech, Media, Telecom) sector (13.3x).
