Theoretically it should not impact EV/EBITDA.
EBITDA is a profitability metric not impacted by WC items.
EV suffers changes that offset each other. One one side, if you increase the number of days to get paid, your AR balance will go up, which means your cash is negatively impacted, increasing your net debt. However, on the other side, the amount of cash a company has it is priced in the share price, so technically if the company has less cash, equity value should go down, offsetting the impact of higher net debt on total enterprise value.
