How do you find the enterprise value of a private company? I have the financials, is it just paid in capital + net debt? Or would it be the assets (market value) + net debt.
Thank you!

Trading / transaction comps or a DCF.
you're in the industry working in m&a gotta be shitting me
Maybe he's just really, really fresh ...
OP, shouldn't your seniors have asked you to build comps, precedent transactions or a DCF model before?
DCF, LBO or comps.
9 times out of 10, ebitda multiple (or whatever relevant metric whether ebitdar or revenue or whatever) based on trading comps. Ltm likely, although depending on industry, could be a forward multiple.
Could run a dcf, boilerplate lbo, precs to get a range, although keep in mind range will likely be wide given the numerous assumptions you’ll make for dcf and lbo analyses.
How DO you Find EV of a Private Company ???? (Originally Posted: 12/24/2017)
If you have the financials of a private company how do you find the enterprise value? Is it just the total of the assets (market value) + net debt?
Thank you!!!!
Stape, shame nobody has responded. Maybe one of these topics will help:
Or maybe the following WSO members have something to say: mgerrard Dorothy-Figiel YungMonc
Hope that helps.
DCF, LBO or Comps analysis.
The equation I was taught for Total Enterprise Value (TEV) is: TEV = ( Market Capitalization + Interest Bearing Debt + Preferred Stock) - Excess Cash

Private companies don't have a market cap I believe
la flame, That is pretty much correct. Considering private companies do not trade on open exchanges. There are a number of variables taken into account when determining market cap for publicly traded companies which are not applicable, and many times not available, for private companies. Hence a different valuation method, typically provided for in the Red Herring or some other introductory piece of literature associated with the fund/company..
Valuation and EV of private company (Originally Posted: 08/28/2016)
So I have a financial model of a private company from Year 0. (just 3 statements)
I am being asked to do an indicative valuation of the company. What does indicative mean? Just a quick back of the envelope calculation i assume?
the company has no comparables have been asked for the indicative valuation and entry ebitda multiple
how do i go about.
will i need to do a dcf? or some quicker option? (no multiples available. in fact i have to give the entry ev/ebitda multiple and use that for exit
Yes, you will have to do a DCF if you have no multiples, no comps, and no transactions. That's the quick answer.
If you have the whole model, this should take about 5 minutes max to do a valuation. Since this sounds like a test, I'm not gonna help you too much but it sounds pretty mechanical.
well that was helpful
i just want to know whether i need to go full on and build a dcf or is there some quick method being expected
