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).

PROVALLIANCE acquired by CORE EQUITY HOLDINGS

FRANCE Retail / Specialized Retail / Beauty & Cosmetics EV 500M - 1.5b EUR

Context

Core Equity Holdings entered into exclusive negotiations to acquire a majority stake (~54%) in Provalliance. Franck Provost and his family, who had regained full control after Chequers Capital's exit in 2017, will retain the remaining ~46% of the capital. The transaction follows discussions initiated in 2019 but delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The deal is structured to support an aggressive external growth strategy (including a bid for competitor Dessange International) and the expansion of the Bleu Libellule distribution network. The financing relies on renegotiating the existing bank debt.

PROVALLIANCE, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2020, 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).
