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.

GERMANY Industrial Equipment / Special Machinery / Instrumentation & Measurement EV 300M - 700M EUR

Context

Rivean Capital has acquired 100% of Engelmann Sensor from Deutsche Private Equity (DPE). The management team will remain invested in the business. The strategic rationale for the exit follows a five-year period under DPE ownership during which Engelmann more than doubled its EBITDA and significantly expanded its international footprint into markets like Canada and the UAE. For Rivean, the acquisition provides a platform to capitalize on the digitalization of the building technology sector. The deal is structured to leverage Engelmann’s high-margin hardware base to upsell software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for consumption data management.

ENGELMANN SENSOR, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2024, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN premium to the average currently observed in the Industry & Manufacturing sector (10.9x).
