The Comparables tab displays valuation multiples for a set of publicly traded companies in the results set to compare potential strategic investors at a glance.
Comparables displays the mean, minimum, maximum and median EV/Revenue and EV/EBITDA multiples, as well as growth metrics for sector specific public companies. By selecting certain companies and filtering out the unselected ones, you have the ability to refine and customize private company valuation.
Switching to the Comparables tab
After Raiser returns a list of investors based on your fundraising goal, navigate to the Investor Comparables tab at the top of the page.
Companies that do not have a Revenue figure will be displayed as NA*
Companies with a EV/REVENUE & EV/EBITDA multiple value that is < 0 or > 99.99 will display NM*
NA = Not Available
NM = Not Meaningful
Calendarized Estimates Revenue/EBITDA multiples
Calendar consensus estimates are available for equities with fiscal years that do not correspond with the calendar year. The calendarized methodology described below applies to annual and quarterly formulas that end in _CALA and _CALQ. These formulas should not be confused with _CAL4 formulas that sum the four fiscal quarters that best represent the calendar time period.
Calendarized calculations are based on days, not months.
For example, the fiscal year end for the company Infineon Technologies AG (ticker IFX) is September. This company's calendarized 2006 EBITDA is 273/365 of its 2006 EBITDA estimate plus 92/365 of its 2007 EBITDA estimate. In calendar terms it can be viewed as:
Note: Calendar data is calculated from median consensus figures.
Calendarized calculations have particular strengths: For calculations involving absolute data (EPS, recurrent earnings, etc.) and for aggregates and portfolios Homogenous data eases comparisons.
Calculating the mean & median
We calculate the mean by first taking the sum of all values (within each column), then, dividing by the total count:
Depending on the number of values you have in your Comparables list, our system will find the min & max values as well as the median.
