As it pertains to Net Working Capital (a favorite topic on SearchFunder), PeerComps includes normal inventory but explicitly excludes AR and AP in the Price calculation, so those multiples exclude AR/AP (or the price derived is before any AR/AP is added to the equation). DealStats is a mixed bag. You have to look at the data from the "All available fields" download to see whether NWC was included in your data set or not. It varies by industry and mostly by size -- as smaller transactions (<$5mm) typically do not include working capital and larger (>$5mm) typically do include it. Just be careful not to mix and match.
