Using the sales multiple:
Company A’s sales of $180 million x 3.1 (average sales multiple) =
$558 million (Enterprise Value) - $100 million (Net Debt) =
$458 million (Equity Value)

Using the EBITDA multiple:


Company A’s EBITDA of $70 million x 8.1 (average EBITDA multiple) =
$565 million (Enterprise Value) - $100 million (Net Debt) =
$465 million (Equity Value)

Using the price-to-earnings multiple:


Company A’s earnings of $40 million x 12.6 (average price-to-earnings
multiple) = $504 million (Enterprise Value) - $100 million (Net Debt) =
$404 million (Equity Value)
Using the multiples method:
