EBITDA Multiples
The price of a company expressed as a multiple of its EBITDA. Entry multiple is what you pay to buy; exit multiple is what you get when you sell. The spread between the two, plus leverage and EBITDA growth, drives the return.
Example
Buying at 7x and selling at 9x on flat EBITDA still produces a solid MOIC with leverage.
