Multiple EV techniques for one group

Hi all

I'm looking at a group that has distribution and manufacturing as separate companies.

I'm inclined to use 2 different ways of valuing each company.

Distribution company has stock and a high level of IP advances, looking to at a multiple of an average EBITDA for the past 3 years along with future EBITDA to take the unrecouped advances into account. For the Manufacturing business I would use DCF for the coming 5 years.

Should I be thinking of any other EV techniques?

Cheers
