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.

BAIN CAPITAL takes majority stake in MAISONS DU MONDE

FRANCE Retail / Specialized Retail / Home & DIY EV 500M - 1.5b EUR

Context

The transaction marks the sale of Maisons du Monde to Bain Capital, following a competitive process involving several private equity players, including Axa Private Equity and PAI Partners. LBO France, Apax Partners, and NiXEN Partners, which had held a stake in the group since the secondary LBO in 2008, are divesting their interest in this deal, while management retains a significant stake to ensure strategic and operational continuity. The founder also remains invested, providing stability to the entrepreneurial project and continuity of the brand's original vision. The financing for the transaction is based on a hybrid structure combining high-yield bond debt and bank financing. Bain Capital has opted for a bond issuance of approximately €330 million, abandoning an initial staple financing package structured by the sellers. The latter had included senior debt arranged by Natixis, UniCredit, and Société Générale, supplemented by a junior tranche provided by Euromezzanine and BNP Paribas. The change in ownership comes at a time when Maisons du Monde has completed a phase of rapid expansion, combining store openings and a significant increase in furniture sales, which now account for nearly 50% of the company's revenue. The group currently operates a network of over 200 stores and has a growing international presence, particularly in Southern Europe.

Maisons Du Monde had already undergone several LBOs in the past, notably in 2005 with Barclays Private Equity / Natexis Industrie and in 2007 with Apax Partners / Lbo France. This succession of buyouts highlights the strong attractiveness of the company's business model.

MAISONS DU MONDE, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2013, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN to the average currently observed in the Retail & Consumer sector (11.0x).
