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.

What is the EV/EBITDA multiple and why is it used?

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.

EMLYON acquired by GALILEO GLOBAL EDUCATION

FRANCE Education / Education Providers REV 100M - 200M EUR

Context

Galileo Global Education, alongside Bpifrance and BioMerieux, acquired a 46.5% stake in EMLyon, facilitating the exit of the previous private equity investor, Qualium Investissement. The Lyon Chamber of Commerce (CCI) remains the majority shareholder with 51%. The transaction included a EUR50 million capital increase, bringing the school's total investment capacity to over EUR100 million. The strategic rationale focuses on the "Confluences 2025" plan, emphasizing international recruitment through Galileo's global network, cross-disciplinary "hybridization" with design and engineering schools, and digital transformation. Under the new governance, Guillaume Pepy (former CEO of SNCF) was appointed Chairman of the Supervisory Board, while Isabelle Huault continues as Executive President.

Qualium / Bpifrance had previously taken control of the company during an LBO in 2019.

EMLYON, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2022, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Retail & Consumer sector (11.3x).
