Three simple methods
The methods give between 0 MNOK and 1 MNOK.
| Method | Multiple | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 19.8 | 1 MNOK |
| EV/EBIT | 16.2 | 1 MNOK |
| P/B | 3.3 | 0 MNOK |
| EV/EBIT: from enterprise value to equity | NOK |
|---|---|
| Enterprise value (EV) at the listed multiple | 1 MNOK |
| Enterprise value after the size adjustment | 1 MNOK |
| Less net debt (rough figure) | 0 MNOK |
| Equity value | 1 MNOK |
Net debt is a rough figure: long-term liabilities minus cash. The accounts do not split interest-bearing debt from other liabilities, and short-term borrowings are not included. The size adjustment applies to the enterprise value, not to the debt. Net debt is −63% of the enterprise value after the size adjustment, so the equity value from EV/EBIT is sensitive to errors in the debt figure.
The listed basis is the value at listed multiples. The estimate is lowered for size: a small-company premium of 4% on the cost of equity gives a value 38% lower. No separate marketability discount is applied, because the premium already allows for the company being small and unlisted.
The multiples are from the listed industry that matches the NACE code (56): Restaurant/Dining.
Not financial advice. The value range is a rough model estimate from listed-company multiples, not a valuation, a price target or a price offer. The actual value may differ greatly. Read more
