Question for Distressed Debt folks about a concept introduced in Moyer's book

Hey guys,

There is a concept in Moyer's book that I am not sure I understand. Any clarity would be appreciated.

On page 113, Table 5-9 'Preliminary Valuation of Target', there is a line item called "F-EV/Shares"

The book explains that this is calculated as follows:

[(LTM EBITDA × 6) – gross debt]/shares.

So, a firm would have a F-EV/Shares of, say 11.20.

Can anyone explain what F-EV/Shares refers to? What does this metric mean and why is it important?

Thanks in advance for your help!
