Basis
- A comparable 100% enterprise value has not been established. Separately reported amounts are retained below.
- A secondary report describes the sale value as just under €1.3 billion; this is an approximate reported whole-company value, not an exact disclosed EV or consideration amount. The same report gives 2019 revenue as more than €260 million, so no exact revenue scalar is populated. It reports a 14x valuation against 2019 earnings but does not define earnings as EBITDA; the reported multiple is retained without an EBITDA denominator. No EBITDA amount or EBITDA multiple is supported. No multiple calculated. The reported 14x earnings valuation is retained as reported; no EBITDA denominator is supported. Secondary reporting gives 2019 revenue as more than €260 million and a 14x valuation against 2019 earnings, without defining earnings as EBITDA.
