What is a Valuation Multiple?

Valuation multiples for a textile mill are commonly used when determining the value of a textile mill business. A valuation multiple is similar to a ratio. The valuation multiple compares two factors. When using valuation multiples for a textile mill, the business appraiser will compare your textile business to similar textile mills that recently sold. Doing this comparison helps to determine an applicable market multiple for your textile mill. This is just one valuation method a business appraiser uses when determining a range of value for a textile business.

One of the most common valuation multiples in business valuation is an SDE multiple. An SDE multiple compares the seller’s discretionary earnings of the business with the implied value of the business. For instance, the seller’s discretionary earnings of a textile business are $279,000. Using a 2.70x SDE multiple, implies the value of the textile mill business is $753,300. ($279,000 times 2.70x) Whereas, if a 2.13x SDE multiple is applicable, the implied value of the textile mill is $594,270. ($279,000 times 2.13x)

SDE Multiples for a Textile Business

Average SDE Multiple range: 1.94x – 3.29x

According to Peak’s data, textile businesses on average transact between a 1.94x – 3.29x SDE multiple. To calculate the implied value of the textile mill, take the seller’s discretionary earnings and multiply them by the appropriate SDE multiple. See the calculation below.

SDE X Multiple = Value of the Business

For example, a textile business makes $210,000 in seller’s discretionary earnings. The business appraiser determines a 3.02x SDE multiple is applicable. Using the above calculation, the textile business has an implied value of approximately $634,200.

$210,000 X 3.02x = $634,200

A seller’s discretionary earnings multiple is common for small businesses to transact on. To calculate seller’s discretionary earnings take the company’s operating profit and add back any expenses the new owner potentially may not incur. Common add-backs in business valuation may include any personal expenses ran through the business, non-related or non-recurring business expenses, and a fair owner’s compensation.

In our data, average EBITDA multiples for a textile business range between 2.78x – 4.28x. To derive the implied value of the textile mill, use EBITDA and apply the appropriate multiple. The calculation is below.

$220,000 X 3.54x = $778,800

An EBITDA multiple measures the ROI or return on investment an investor expects to make from the textile business. A valuation expert may determine this multiple is most applicable as it normalizes differences in capital structure, taxation, and fixed assets. Normalized ratios allow the valuation expert to compare similar textile businesses. In addition, using normalized ratios can more accurately reflect the future earnings a buyer can expect from the textile business.

Average REV Multiple range: 0.38x – 0.66x

Last, according to Peak Business Valuation’s data, textile businesses sell on average between a 0.38x – 0.66x revenue multiple.

To determine the implied value, use the most recent 12-months of revenue and multiply it by the applicable REV multiple for the textile mill. The calculation follows.

Revenue X Multiple = Value of the Business

For example, a textile business generates $1.3 million in revenue. Using a 0.55x REV multiple means the textile business has an implied value of approximately $715,000.

$1,300,000 X 0.55x = $715,000
