How to Value a Private Company Part 2 - Case Study Examples

How do you value a private company? What valuation approach is relevant for small business valuation with no market comps available? How do you normalize EBITDA for valuation purposes?
In this video I walk through four different valuation exercises looking at growth and underperformance situations and how that influences the value of a company. By anticipating the value drivers and value limiters from a buyer's perspective, you can anticipate the level of market demand for your business which translates to a higher or lower multiple range. Valuation is more art than science so please note that these factors may not apply to all companies so please apply this methodology with caution and seek professional help before selling your business. This is the approach we use at Roblee Capital to assist business owners in determining their business value prior to selling their business.
The four companies analyzed in this video are:
1) Valuing a HVAC Company with $900K in EBITDA
2) Valuing a Metal Fabrication Business with $750K in EBITDA
3) Valuing a Home Renovation Service Provider with $3.7MM in EBITDA
4) Valuing a Printing Business with $500K in EBITDA

    Excellent content, Thanks ! Could you please explain if the useful life of the Fixed Asset base (like PP&E), like capital assets replacement history also needs to be evaluated as part of the BS analysis and HOW. What if the buyer gets to know at the time of acquisition that the target's fixed assets are already depreciated say 70-75% on the books and replacement would be required in the near future, how would you evaluate such situation from the Purchase price adjustment and Valuation perspective (EVtoEquity bridge). Thanks in advance.

    Great content, Thanks! I wanted to ask if we are doing these deals and on Cash & Debt Free basis, how about to calculate our purchase price, we don't include Cash and Long-term debt in our calculation and purchase price then is Adjusted EBITDA multiple (Enterprise Value) + Target NWC adjustment? Assuming seller pays it's debt on closing and cashes out as well.

    Yes this is correct. To rephrase your statement, companies sell on a cash-free/debt-free basis with a normal level of working capital. The value of the business based on EBITDA. Any excess/deficit net working capital is added to the enterprise value to get the final net purchase price. Thanks for watching!

    Hi thanks for these videos, they're great!! At 22:35, you inform us how the factors are used to refine the range. how do you arrive at 4 to 4.5 though. What's the math behind that range?

  • @financekid3163

    There is no mat behind it, what I am trying to communicate is that within a standard valuation range of say 4x to 5x, based on the qualitative factors in the case study, where does the business land, on the top or bottom end of this range? In terms of getting the 4x to 5x valuation range, this is what the standard market comps are for the business, again less about math and more about what the market is willing to pay. In M&A, its all about what the market is willing to pay.

    Thank you. Very informative video. I got question What taxes are we going to count in EBITDA ? Is it property tax, Payroll Tax & sales Tax in case of Retail (C Store)? Because Personal income tax goes to owners 1040 so it is already not in company P&L.

  • @financekid3163

    @financekid3163

    Good question, EBITDA refers to income taxes only. Property taxes are a real estate cost that usually is carried on under new ownership (unless it is a gross lease vs triple net lease) and sales taxes should not be factored into the financial statements as it is pass through cost, meaning you are collecting the sales tax to then remit to the government (the only case is in internal numbers not prepared by accountants where the owner is not correctly reflecting net sales).

    Great video, thanks a lot for sharing! What I'm perhaps is missing a bit is what the multiple paid translates into for the buyer in terms of return metrics? Just because "everybody else" is paying a certain multiple doesn't necessarily mean that it would make sense for me right? How do you normally evaluate the attractiveness of a smaller type of private deal when your not comparing the purchase price to e.g. a DCF value? Do you prefer to use IRR, pay-back time, ROCE or other metrics? Will of course also require a multi year forecast to be made.

    Why arent long term assets being caputred apart of the balance sheet value like net working capital is?

  • @financekid3163

    @financekid3163

    10 ай бұрын

    Because the long-term assets (ie. equipment, vehicles, etc) are used to generate the services/products that result in the profit of the business. Assuming you are getting paid for the cash flow of the business, you wouldnt also pay for the assets that generated the very cash flow you are already paying for, hence it is included as part of the goodwill value of the business.

    Near the 24 minute mark, you add on the total balance sheet value to the purchase price. I thought it would just be the excess NWC + EV = price. Why did you add the total balance sheet here?

    Good catch! You are right, that should be the excess amount of $61,924 instead of the full balance sheet value. Thanks for the feedback.
