Enterprise Value = Price paid

  • 1. Depending on the level of debt of the company, there are two ways of calculating the Enterprise Value (EV):
    • a. In the case of indebted companies: EV = stock market capitalization + net debt;
    • b. In the case of non-indebted companies: EV = stock market capitalization - net liquidity. The value of the company thus calculated represents the price that would have to pay those who want to acquire the company without debt. The value of the company (EV) must be equal to the market value of debt and equity capital. This therefore implies that the total value generated by the operating and investment activities of a company and must be divided among the various holders of capital (whether they are debt or risk holders).
  • 2. Enterprise value is used in the calculation of market multiples: EV / EBIT (Enterprise Value / Earnings before interest and taxes) and EV / EBITDA (Enterprise Value / Earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization).

To calculate the Equity Value starting from Enterprise Value, it is necessary to subtract the Net Financial Position of the company if it has net debt (or add back if there is net cash).
