Why You Can’t Trust EBITDA Multiples in M&A New

A practical look at why headline multiples can mislead, and why normalized earnings, debt, working capital, capital expenditure and customer concentration must be reviewed before relying on a valuation.

Would you buy an €8M factory that appears to trade at 5.7× EBITDA?
This Deal Autopsy rebuilds the investment case from earnings, customers, cash requirements and downside risk before the decision.

In this video, we examine:
• Why reported EBITDA is not automatically acquired EBITDA
• How customer concentration and contract rights can change the case
• Why price is different from all-in cash required
• How evidence and deal structure allocate uncertain value
