A company had total revenues of $500 million, operating margin of 40%, and depreciation and amortization expense of $80 million over the trailing twelve months. The company currently has $600 million in total debt and $100 million in cash and cash equivalents. If the company's market capitalization (total value of its equity) is $2 billion, what is its EV/EBITDA multiple? Round to two decimal places (Assume EBIT = Operating income).
Solution:-
Enterprise value = Market capitalization + Total debt - Cash and Cash equivalents
Given,
Market capitalization = 2 billion or 2,000 million
Total debt = $600 million
Cash and Cash equivalents = $100 million
Enterprise value = $2,000 million + $600 million - $100 million
= $2,500 million
EBIT = Total revenue * Operating profit margin
Given,
Revenue = $500 million
Operating margin = 40%
EBIT = $500 million * 40%
= $200 million
EBITDA = EBIT + Depreciation and Amortization expense
Given,
Depreciation and amortizatin expenses = $80 million
EBITDA = $200 million + $80 million
= $280 million
EV/EBITDA = $2,500 MILLION / $280 MILLION
= 8.92857
Therefore the EV/EBITDA multiple is 8.93
