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.

VERALLIA acquired by APOLLO GLOBAL MANAGEMENT & BPIFRANCE

FRANCE Chemicals & Materials / Packaging & Containers / Glass Packaging EV 1b - 4b EUR

Context

Saint-Gobain finalized the sale of its glass packaging subsidiary, Verallia, to a consortium led by Apollo Global Management and Bpifrance. The strategic rationale for Saint-Gobain was to complete its refocusing on high-performance habitat and industrial materials. For the acquirers, the deal represented a massive industrial carve-out of a profitable, market-leading business. Apollo won a highly competitive auction process against several private equity rivals (Blackstone, CVC, Bain/Ardian) and strategic bidders (Ba Vidro) by submitting a superior bid and partnering with Bpifrance to provide social and governmental guarantees regarding French employment. The transaction resulted in a significant reduction of Saint-Gobain's net debt and established Verallia as an independent player ready for a new cycle of industrial investment.

VERALLIA, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2014, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN to the average currently observed in the Industry & Manufacturing sector (11.0x).
