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.

04/2017	BAIN CAPITAL / CINVEN	STADA	GERMANY	Life Sciences	The Executive Board and Supervisory Board of STADA agreed to support a voluntary public tender offer from Bain Capital and Cinven. The offer of EUR66.00 per share (including dividend) values the company at an Enterprise Value of approximately EUR5.318 billion. This price represents a premium of roughly 49% over the unaffected share price from December 2016. The deal concludes a highly competitive bidding process (where Advent International was also a contender). The strategic rationale is to delist STADA to allow for a more aggressive long-term growth strategy, unburdened by quarterly public reporting.
