Valuation: What is the Business Worth? PASSING ON THE BATON
What might retiring [accounting] firm owners be expecting?
The starting point for valuing the majority of private profitable companies is a multiple of profits. The ‘profit figure’ most frequently used in this multiple is ‘Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA). However sometimes EBIT can be used, depending on the company / seller / buyer. More often or not it will be the latest 12 month EBITDA which will drive valuation. The Enterprise Value (EV) is normally calculated on a ‘cash free / debt free’ basis. There is no set multiple for valuing a business, however here are some ideas based on the current marketplace: (only a guide) - Manufacturing / Engineering / Contracting businesses:5x EBITDA - Software / Technology businesses: 6-9x EBITDA - A Freehold based business e.g. Care homes / Day Care centres: 6-8x EBITDA - A leasehold based business e.g. chain of shops: 3-4x EBITDA PASSING ON THE BATON
Ben and Peter run a building contractor business, Brick it Ltd (“Brick it”) • Brick it operates in Bristol and the surrounding areas. • The business has grown from a small two man operation to a £4.5m (2010) turnover business over the last 10 years. • Ben and Peter now feel that the business is getting too big for them, and wish to sell to a larger contracting business. • Sales growth has been strong in the last two years, however the bank has been unwilling to increase Brick it’s overdraft facility and cashflow is now becoming a constant worry. Ben feels as though he is working for the bank, and wants out of the responsibility. • They are 9 months into their financial year, and are looking at the possibility of selling after their year end. Their advisor has provided them with the following overview of valuation.
In the first 9 months of the year Brick it has made sales of £4m and an operating profit (EBIT) of £0.4m. Their advisor is helping them to place a value on the business for sale post year end. • The last three months of the year are largely expected to continue as the first nine. However there is a possibility of a large contract being won which would represent c.£1m of sales in 2011 alone. It makes the final results unknown. • The company holds a freehold property, and several pieces of equipment which produce a depreciation of £150k p.a. • The estimated EBITDA for 2011 based on the first 9 months is therefore £680k.
Ben and Peter would ideally like to sell Brick it to a large contracting business, and therefore stay in the business for a further year to hand over. • As a result of being owned by a larger business the advisor has identified several cost savings which could be added back to profit. This reflects the level of profit a large corporate could expect to make when run from it’s own head office. • Ben and Peter have been paying themselves above market rate salaries. £30k additional each, providing a £60k add back. • By moving to a large head office two of Brick it’s admin/accounting staff will not be required. They are paid a combined salary of £50k. • There are further cost savings made possible by moving to a larger company. Better rates and central costs for example. These are estimated at £15k.
The historic and forecasted EBITDA can now be adjusted by these add back which produces the following performance profile.
The adjusted EBITDA is now estimated to be c.£810k. • The performance of the business for the full year is unknown at this point, in addition the add back are unlikely to be accepted by a buyer in full. To get an idea of a valuation range the advisor has provided the following table which shows various profit outcomes and multiples and the associated valuations. • The highlighted range shows the values that the advisor believes are most achievable. Therefore providing a business valuation of between £2.8m and £3.5m. • The final outcome will be driven by the full year performance, and the ability of the advisor to get the best deal.
