Working on a Case Study with Comps and Precedent Transactions

I am currently working on a case study that involves valuing a private company with comparable public companies and precedent transactions. Many of the public companies I am trying to use have EV/Revenue multiples but negative EV/EBITDA multiples. What does a negative EV/EBITDA mean? Should I keep digging for public companies with EV/EBITDA multiples? Or should I just focus on EV/Revenue multiples?
