Valuation

EV/EBITDA

Enterprise value divided by EBITDA.

Definition

EV/EBITDA compares the whole-business value to EBITDA. Adds depreciation and amortization back into the denominator, making it broadly comparable across capital-intensity differences.

Formula

Enterprise Value ÷ EBITDA

Why it matters

EV/EBITDA is the workhorse multiple in M&A and credit. It removes accounting differences in depreciation and the distortions from leverage and tax rate, giving a cleaner cross-company comparison than P/E.
