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.

Context

PPR (Kering) entered into exclusive negotiations with Alpha Private Equity Fund 6 for the sale of its Children & Family division (Cyrillus and Vertbaudet). The transaction was valued at an Enterprise Value of €119 million. This divestment is a strategic step in PPR's transformation into a pure-play global leader in Luxury and Sport & Lifestyle (Gucci, PUMA, etc.). For the targets, the deal marks the end of their era within a large retail conglomerate (Redcats) and the beginning of their journey as an independent group. The acquisition aims to capitalize on Vertbaudet's e-commerce leadership during a period where online sales in the industry were in strong growth (with €72 billion of sales expected by 2015).

VERTBAUDET, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2013, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level to compare with the average currently observed in the Retail & Consumer sector (11.5x).

Target

Founded in 1963, Vertbaudet has evolved into Europe’s leading e-commerce platform dedicated to childhood, encompassing apparel, footwear, childcare essentials, toys, and home decor. The group operates a robust omnichannel model; while maintaining a network of 75 physical stores in France, over 80% of its sales are generated digitally. Vertbaudet serves a loyal international customer base across eight European countries, including Germany, the UK, and the Iberian Peninsula. Its value proposition centers on a "one-stop-shop" experience for parents, combining proprietary designs with a high-performance digital marketplace.
