Multiple Calculator computes valuation multiples for comparable company and transaction analysis, supporting both public trading and private deal comparables.
Multiple Calculator computes valuation multiples for comparable company and transaction analysis, supporting both public trading and private deal comparables. It calculates revenue-based measures (EV/Revenue, EV/ARR, ARR and NTM multiples, recurring vs. non-recurring revenue adjustments) and profitability metrics (EV/EBITDA, EV/EBIT, P/E), handling negative earnings and margin normalization. Sector adjustment features apply industry-specific premiums and discounts, growth and margin differentials, and market-positioning factors. Analytical outputs include median and mean multiples, outlier identification with root-cause explanations, trend tracking, and weighted multiple ranges with methodology notes. Use cases include M&A valuation, investor due diligence, fundraising and pricing guidance, IPO preparation, and benchmarking. Core advantages are consistent, transparent adjustments; rapid scenario testing; combined transaction and trading views; and clear deliverables: adjusted multiples, valuation ranges, explanatory notes, and time-series trends.
