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).

Context

The acquisition of Royal Buisman by Nactarome is a strategic move to drive long-term growth, aimed at solidifying Nactarome's position in the natural ingredients market for the food and beverage industry. As a specialist in natural caramel ingredients, Royal Buisman brings a complementary offering to Nactarome's portfolio, with a range of products that cater to customers' needs in terms of flavor, color, and texture. This transaction enables Nactarome to expand its geographic footprint, particularly in Europe, and strengthen its network of key clients, with an increased presence in five new countries. The acquisition of Royal Buisman by Nactarome is the result of a divestment process led by Bencis Capital Partners, which has decided to refocus Prinsen Berning, Royal Buisman's parent company, on the active nutrition segment. This deal presents a win-win scenario for both parties, allowing Royal Buisman to continue its strategy of supplying high-quality natural ingredients to top-tier clients, while Nactarome consolidates its market position. The transaction is also expected to enable Royal Buisman to leverage Nactarome's presence in Asian markets, unlocking new export growth opportunities. With this acquisition, Nactarome now boasts 12 manufacturing sites and over 550 employees. The transaction was advised by Rothschild & Co, EY, and Van Campen Liem, who brought their expertise to the table in navigating this complex deal.

ROYAL BUISMAN, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2023, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the AgriFood sector (10.2x).
