The underlying data is sourced from both expert Corporate Finance advisors and Experian PLC to provide a robust insight of both historic and current Price Earning Ratios. All information is sourced from completed deals, i.e. the actual consideration paid and real underlying profits, and therefore provides far more meaningful data than measures that are restricted to publically available information

SUMMARY

The database contains transactions showing the relationship between the Enterprise Value and profit measures including Historic underlying EBITDA and EBIT for recent deals involving private companies.

DEFINITIONS USED IN WEBSITE AND NEWSLETTERS

Enterprise Value – Value of shares in a private company plus the value of all non working capital debt (which includes bank and directors/shareholder loans, hire purchase and overdraft). Also excludes any surplus assets and make any necessary adjustment to reflect normalised working capital.

Historic underlying EBITDA – Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation for most recent and relevant 12 month period before transaction, adjusted so as to reflect the underlying earnings relevant to the acquirer.

Historic underlying EBIT – Earnings Before Interest and Tax for most recent and relevant 12 month period before transaction, adjusted so as to reflect the underlying earnings relevant to the acquirer.

COMMENTARY


 

Our latest newsletter highlights a rapid increase in both deals volume and values in the second half of 2014, reflecting the upturn in global business confidence coupled with historically low interest rates in all main economic trading regions.

The average price (as a multiple of profits) of the private company deals recorded in the PERDa database has shot up to 7.1. This is far above the EBIT PER’s long terms average and signals that directors are looking for growth in shareholder value through strategic acquisitions, and are prepared to pay for it.

However, there remains significant unanswered questions that will affect the deal market in the coming years – will Greece leave the Eurozone? When will interest rates rise? What affect will the UK’s E.U referendum have on business confidence both in the UK and Europe? The answers and the implication of these scenarios are uncertain and therefore caution is required even off the back of very positive results moving into 2015.

For more details and commentary, please read our newsletter.

In 2015 PER ratios continued to climb to pre-financial crisis peaks of 7.1, driven by relaxed monetary policy and growing economic confidence, before slightly dipping to 6.9 in the final quarter. Deal volumes and total deal values continue to increase and are now achieving close to pre-financial crisis levels.
