- Metric period: Annual Revenue Estimate; Metric Year Not Specified.
- The $5.5 billion figure is the reported company valuation, treated as estimated whole-company EV under FCR-211; it is not the $825 million tender consideration. No exact stake, closing date, debt/cash bridge, or EBITDA amount is established. CNBC reported analysts’ estimate of around $1 billion in annual revenue but gave no metric year; it also reported sales growth of 23% through the end of October 2024 and 44% in the prior year, for the stated year-to-date and prior-year periods, without asserting a fiscal-year calendar. Those growth figures are not annualized or used to derive a multiple. No stake percentage or operating multiple derived. CNBC reported analysts estimate around $1 billion in annual revenue; metric year and estimation methodology are not specified. The report also states the company says it has been profitable since 2017, but gives no EBITDA amount.
