Meaning, then the identity

enterprise value means the result of the identity on the enterprise value calculator. EE is the value of the equity, DD interest-bearing debt, and CC surplus cash. Net debt is DCD - C, so EV=E+net debtEV = E + \text{net debt}. The multiple is EVEV divided by EBITDA when EBITDA is positive.

Not a recommendation

A meaning is not a plan. Educational material, not financial advice. The what-is page is the companion wording.
