PeerComps data

by a searcher from University of California, Los Angeles

I'm using PeerComps to get an idea of multiples that are paid for different industries. Each line item in a given search has an "enterprise value". My question is: does this enterprise value include NWC, or does it just represent the Multiple x Cash Flow?

PeerComps includes "normal inventory" in its numerator ("Sales Price"), it specifically excludes AR and AP, so the product of a PeerComps Price/EBITDA * EBITDA will be a price including normal inentory, and before AR-AP. Deal Stats, on the other hand, is whatever is input, so you have to look at the full detail (the 212 field output) to see what was included for each transaction. The denominator is "Adjusted EBITDA," as reported by SBA lenders, so they are likely to follow the appropriate definition more consistently.
