Three simple methods
One method gives a figure: 13 MNOK.
| Method | Multiple | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 17.3 | not meaningful |
| EV/EBIT | 14.1 | not meaningful |
| P/B | 2.7 | 13 MNOK |
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 NACE code has no listed industry of its own in the table, so the multiples are the sector median: Business & Consumer Services, Office Equipment & Services.
