Technical Question (Need help!)

P/E is 20
Rev 2000
Gross Margin 50%
EV/EBITDA 7.5x
Debt 1000

Number of Shares = 100

Interest rate 10%
Operating Expense 500

Above is the all the information I was given.

What is Equity Value?

A)

Is it 2000-1000-500 = 500 (EBIDTA) x 7.5 = 3,750 (Enterprise Value)

3,750 - 1000 = 2,750 Equity Value?? So, stock price being $27.50???

B)

P/E * Net income = Market Cap.

20*(2000-1000-500-100) = 8000.... divide by 100 shares... So $80?

I am lost...

 

The EV/EBITDA approach is missing existing cash balance. The difference in implied share price could be explained by how much of that per share price is cash in the business.

Tax rate could be whatever, and that would moderate the difference in share price you've calculated.

I think you are approaching it wrong, you should be getting to one answer only.

The way to go, i think, is:

NI = (Revenue * GrossMargin - Opex - Interest ) * (1 - TaxRate) = (2,000 * (0.5) - 500 - (0.1) * 1,000) * (1-0.4) = 240

Equity Value = Market Cap = NI * P/E = 240 * 20 = 4,800

Share Price = Equity Value / Shares = 48

EV = Equity Value + Net Debt = 4,800 + 1,000 = 5,800

EBITDA = EV / Multiple = 773.3

Now, why do I believe you can't you calculate EBITDA the way you did it? Because you are not told to assume operating expense excludes D&A.
