Formula and inputs

EV/EBITDA = enterprise value ÷ annual EBITDA

Worked example

£2,000,000 of enterprise value divided by £200,000 of annual EBITDA gives 10×.

Assumptions and limitations

This is not a fair-value estimate. Business risk, growth, reinvestment and EBITDA adjustments affect comparability. EBITDA is not cash flow.
