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.

UUDS acquired by CAPZA

FRANCE Aerospace, Naval & Defense / MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul) EV 100M - 350M EUR

Context

UUDS completed its first-ever Management Buy-Out (MBO) with Capza taking a majority stake. This primary LBO allowed the founder to hand over majority control while retaining a minority stake alongside CEO and key managers. The transaction was supported by a senior debt package arranged by a pool of major French banks with a leverage of less than 4x EBITDA. The financing includes a dedicated CAPEX line to fund future acquisitions, following the successful integration of Satys' cabin division. This deal aims to propel UUDS past the EUR100 million revenue mark in 2025 by capitalizing on the booming demand for premium cabin retrofitting.

As a reminder, the company had previously completed an external growth operation by acquiring Satys Cabin in 2025.

UUDS, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2025, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Industry & Manufacturing sector (10.9x).

02/2025	UUDS	SATYS CABIN	FRANCE	Aerospace, Naval & Defense	UUDS Aero acquired 100% of Satys Cabin from the Satys Aerospace group. This "carve-out" allowed Satys to refocus on its core business of aircraft painting and sealing, while providing UUDS with the industrial manufacturing capabilities it previously lacked. Financed through bank debt, the deal is highly synergistic: it combines UUDS's expertise in airline maintenance with Satys Cabin's direct access to aircraft manufacturers (OEMs). This merger allows the new entity to address the entire aircraft lifecycle—from factory exit to end-of-life refurbishment—within the high-margin Premium and First Class segments.
