LBO entry and exit multiples explanation
Would someone be able to explain the concept of entry and exit multiples for an LBO? I understand all about LBOs but do not understand anything and the entry and exit multiples.

It is literally the multiple that you “enter” at as well as the multiple you expect to “exit” at.
You might assume the exit multiple to be the same as your entry multiple, meaning if the target is acquired at 10x EV/EBITDA, it will be sold at the same multiple at a future period.
You often run different sensitives on the exit/entry multiples as well.
Why do we make this assumption, can we not grow the multiple?
You don't necessarily assume that. Google "multiple expansion."
If you do not understand the concept of entry/exit multiples, then you actually do not understand anything about LBOs.
"I understand all about math except for addition and subtraction."
