hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo friends today we are
[16]
going to learn a topic that is transaction multiple valuation this is
[21]
one more a different way of valuing a company there's one DCF method there's
[27]
one comparable coms company waste valuation and there is another called
[30]
transaction multiple valuation which is also known as the precedent transaction
[35]
method let's get into the nitty-gritty of the same what exactly this is all
[39]
about seeing them for simple terms transaction multiples are the method
[43]
that is used to find out the value of the company under the transaction
[47]
multiple we look at various financial metrics like EV/EBITDA to find out
[53]
the value of a particular company what is the transaction multiple now okay
[58]
it's fine I will get there what exactly is transaction multiple which is used in
[62]
M&A see transaction multiple or at position multiple is a method where we
[67]
look at the past M&A which has taken place transaction and value the
[72]
comparable company using precedence now it is based on the premise that the
[78]
value can be estimated by analyzing the price paid by the acquirer that is the
[84]
the person who is going who is acquiring the company in comparable acquisition so
[90]
this actually this valuation method is usually used by financial analysts in
[94]
corporate development and like you it's also used by the PE form the private
[100]
equity forms also by the investment banking segments so transaction multiple
[106]
calculation see the above you know the question is how financial analyst you
[110]
know calculate the transaction multiple valuation now this has two answers one
[115]
is short and another is long in short it's all dependent on how they identify
[121]
similar business okay and look at their recent M&A and depends depending on that
[129]
they value the target company the long answer is little bit more detail and
[133]
let's elaborate it step by step approach the step one the step one goes something
[139]
like this you need to identify the transaction now we can identify
[145]
the transaction using using the sources something like this there's this thing
[150]
called company websites so go through the company websites go go through the
[154]
comparable companies press releases recent activity section and go through
[159]
the other general strategy section to see the transaction which the companies
[163]
discusses the most the second way to go about in this is you can go for
[170]
industries industries website again the same thing what you can do you can also
[175]
refer to the industry websites like you know the deal comm which contains almost
[179]
all the deals from various sectors then the another step that you can go for is
[185]
Bloomberg Bloomberg CACS if you have the excess of Bloomberg terminal then
[191]
you can also check out the CACS section of the comparable company the step two
[197]
in over here goes something like this step two is that you know you need to
[202]
identify the right transaction multiple now this is most important without this
[211]
you will fail in terms of evaluations before having much clarity let's look at
[216]
some of the factors the first factor is the time of the transaction see the most
[221]
important of filter you should use while looking at the emitter transaction is
[225]
the timing of each transaction and that transaction which should be really very
[229]
recent one second the revenue of the companies involved into into the
[236]
transactions so you need to go through the annual reports okay you know of the
[242]
if the company to find out the latest revenues
[244]
the idea is to choose the companies that are similar in the revenue and earning
[247]
the third is you can go for the type of business now this is one of the key
[252]
factor to look at you need to look at the business there are similar types it
[255]
means you should look at the products these services the target customers of
[259]
the business and select those business as comparables and finally choose the
[265]
location now the last factor you should look at the location of the comparable
[269]
business the similar location would justify because they then you would be
[273]
able to look at the regional factors and as well as you know you
[279]
can say that plus you can see what challenges those business in the same
[282]
location they have faced let's see the step three then you have to what you
[289]
have to calculate the transaction multiple so basically you need to
[294]
calculate so there are three multiple that you need to consider while looking
[297]
for the similarities in the previous transaction so this multiples may not
[301]
give a very accurate picture of the business but this multiples would be
[305]
conclusive enough to make a decision now the first and the foremost one is
[311]
EV/EBITDA the most preferred one this is one of the most common acquisition
[315]
multiple financial analysts use the reason investors finance professional
[320]
uses multiple is because the EV that is called the enterprise value and the EBITDA
[325]
before interest tax depreciation and amortization they both take debt into
[330]
account the right range is close enough to the right range of EV/EBITDA down range
[335]
to 6 to 15 X the next multiple that you can use is EV/Sales now this is
[343]
also another multiple that is used by the financial analyst an investor and
[346]
this multiple is significant for certain cases where EV/EBITDA does not work a
[351]
start-up has negative you can say aEV/EBITDA and that's why you can say small
[357]
business that's just got started and analyst use EV/Sales multiple now
[362]
this ranges between 123X the next is EV/EBIT now this is
[370]
another acquisition multiple that investors and financial analysts use and
[373]
it is important because it takes the wear and tear of the business now for
[380]
technology in consulting companies the companies that are not so capital in
[383]
self capital intensive EBIT and EBITDA does not make much difference EBIT
[388]
lesser than you can say the EBITDA down and because depreciation amortization
[394]
are adjusted in EBIT as a result EV/EBIT is usually higher than EV/EBITDA
[401]
and this will range between you can say 10 to 20 X now this is the list
[411]
that I'm going to show you which you know the acquisition details of the
[415]
comparable companies like you know in 2017 this company before that was a
[419]
target company crunching valuation draw off of the transaction that is in
[424]
millions is 2034 million the buyer the acquirer was hands down
[428]
limited and this was the three multiples that were been used in the similar
[432]
fashion crunch brush rush and and so on and so forth various other companies
[438]
that have been used and finally based on this you will do an average of all of
[443]
this and once you do the average you get 10.25 X 1.75 because these
[449]
are the comparable companies that you're using and based on based on that you
[453]
have evaluated various multiples and you get final data as average and median
[457]
over here so you need to screen out the right transaction and filter out the
[461]
rest and how would you do that you would look at the company's profile and would
[465]
understand the transaction closely and they will only choose the ones that fit
[469]
the bills so then you would use the right multiple and in in this case we
[474]
use three and apply the acquisition multiple and trying to value so the next
[479]
you value the company by using right acquisition multiple so the first you
[483]
will look at the right range of the acquisition multiple as they are highly
[486]
high and low depending on that the valuation would be done and then you
[490]
would have a low and high range valuation so you need to do do this for
[494]
all the comp companies come comparable transactions and then finally we will
[498]
create a chart to find out the comment rate and if the acquisition multiple of
[503]
your company let's say it's EV/EBITDA than the average of 10.25X
[507]
will apply to the target company now there are some advantage of the
[512]
transaction multiple valuation the advantage is that first anybody can
[518]
access the information so access is easy you can say access is quite easy because
[525]
it's public second since the valuation is done on the basis of the range it is
[531]
more realistic third since you are looking at the different players you can
[538]
understand the strategy of the same the fourth it is it also helps you to
[543]
understand the market better now some disadvantages we'll quickly discuss
[549]
the same the first is individual biases you can say are valuing the
[554]
target company would come into place and no one can avoid it
[557]
second even if the way even in various factors are taken into consideration
[561]
still there are many more factors that are not considered considered actually
[565]
in the valuation and even if the details our deals are compared no deal can be
[571]
exactly the same so there would be one or more factor that would be different
