Using EBITDA Multiplier for Valuation of Companies
Original language description
This paper focuses on an issue of corporate valuation. There are several approaches used for the valuation of companies. The methods can be based on owned property, future incomes and cash flows or market values followed by intercompany comparison. This paper will deal with the market values presented by multipliers (multiples). The approach of multipliers is especially presented by the ratio Value/EBITDA and therefore this most used and discussed multiplier is used for further analysis. First general advantages and disadvantages will be introduced. The time stability of the multiplier and differences among markets will be analysed. This paper uses publicly available data published by Damodaran and the own verification is processed on selected industry branches. Tools of descriptive statistics are used for this research. As a conclusion, this paper shows possible threats of using EBITDA multiplier. The values of the multiplier heavily depend on the time and specific market location.
