Three simple methods
The methods give between 30 MNOK and 32 MNOK.
| Method | Multiple | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 22.2 | 31 MNOK |
| EV/EBIT | 18.6 | 32 MNOK |
| P/B | 3.0 | 30 MNOK |
| EV/EBIT: from enterprise value to equity | NOK |
|---|---|
| Enterprise value (EV) at the listed multiple | 58 MNOK |
| Enterprise value after the size adjustment | 36 MNOK |
| Less net debt (rough figure) | 3 MNOK |
| Equity value | 32 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.
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: Machinery, Food Processing, Chemical (Specialty), Building Materials, Packaging & Container.
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
