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). 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 BWGI (BW GESTÃO DE INVESTIMENTOS)

FRANCE Chemicals & Materials / Packaging & Containers / Glass Packaging EV 3b - 100b EUR

Context

BWGI, which currently holds 28.8% of Verallia's capital, has filed a voluntary tender offer to acquire control of the company. The offer proposes a price of 30 euros per share (with the 2024 dividend attached). Unlike typical private equity buyouts, BWGI has explicitly stated its intention to maintain Verallia's listing on Euronext Paris, seeking only to cross the regulatory threshold of 50% capital or voting rights. A critical component of this transaction is the management of Verallia's existing debt structure. Due to "Change of Control" clauses in current financing agreements, Verallia has initiated a massive consultation process with its lenders and bondholders to obtain waivers or amendments. To ensure financial stability, the company has secured a comprehensive "backstop" and "bridge" financing package of up to €1.6 billion from a banking syndicate to refinance existing credits or reimburse bondholders who might exercise their "Put Option." The offer is subject to the reasoned opinion of Verallia’s Board of Directors and the approval of the AMF.

VERALLIA, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2024, 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).
