EBITDA   ?$13 Million

Book Value?$39 million

Sales ?$52.5 million

Cash flows to capital ?$9.2 million

You have determined the following comp companies average metrics

1.EV to EBITDA = 15.15

2.Price to Book Value = 4.65

3.Price to sales = 2.95

4.P/E = 31

5.Value to cash flow to capital = 18.5

What are the estimated prices of the stock of the firm today using the five multiples above? Note you should determine 5 prices for the firm.

Explanation / Answer

1. EV to EBITDA = 15.15,

you need the actual EBITDA number. With that you can multiply out to the Enterprise Value then add Cash and Cash Equivalents subtract Debt= Market Value of Equity. f you need a per share price, just divide your equity value by total shares outstanding.

EBITDA = 13 million, EV = 15.15*13 =196.95 million, cash is 2.1 million, debt is 25 million,

Market value of equity = 196.95+2.1-25 = 174.05 million,

Price per share = 174.05/2.5 = $ 69.21 per share.

2. P/B = Share Price / Book Value Per Share

4.65 = share price / 15.6 ( 39 million divided by 2.5 million)

Share price = $ 72.54

3. Price to sales ratio = share price divided by sales per share.

2.95 = share price / 21

share price = 2.95*21 = $ 6.95 per share

4. Price earnings ratio = market value per share / earning per share

31 = market value per share / 1.76 that is 4.4/2.5

market value per share = 31*1.76 = $ 54.56 per share

5. Price to cash flow = share price / cash flow per share

18.5 = share price / 3.68 ( 9.2 / 2.5)

share price = 18.5 * 3.68 = $ 68.08 per share
