Take Private Case Study Question

Doing an entry levelPEcase study and just wanted to check whether myapproach to valuationis correct with the wider community.

It's a take-private situation where I need to figure out the entry purchase price and multiple. Nocompsare given. I only have share price trading history, financials and broker reports.

For my entry valuation, I have assumed a premium to the latest trading level of 30%, multiplied by the total number ofshares outstanding and addednet debt, which gave me the entry enterprise value.

Is my approach broadly correct?

谢谢!

Rob-the-chimp, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Well adding my 2 cent I'd say the author's approach is not wrong - after computing entryEV/EBITDAand applying that mult to exitEBITDAyou will be able to computeIRRand create a quick sensitivity table - sensitizingIRRto various entry andexit multiples. That information can already give you a good idea what should be the price for 25%IRR. Or am I missing something?

Author approach is fine as long asyou have sensitivityon premium / implied entry multiple. If you're given an explicit entry multiple then the point is tooutputIRRand assess if it's a good deal for that price.

如果你没有给出一个明确的价格,然后你better off setting a leveredIRR,如果利用的假设,然后发现the implied "highest Price" you can afford to pay to get that return (an affordability analysis).
