INDUSTRY SECTOR - MEDIA - COMMUNICATION

 

Epsilon Research covers the M&A transactions for the "Media - Communication" industry, which includes:

  • Marketing & Communication Services (advertising, public relations, marketing services, market research, fairs and exhibitions)
  • Printing & Publishing (publishers of information via printed media)
  • Broadcasting & Entertainment (producers, operators and broadcasters of radio, television, music and filmed entertainment)
     

 

Our analysts publish transaction multiples reports for private company M&A deals (announced 2004 onwards).

Each report presents detailed information on the deal value, structure and rationale, the target's activity, history and financial information; it includes the calculation of the key historic and current multiples: enterprise value over sales (EV/S), EBITDA (EV/EBITDA), or EBIT (EV/EBIT), P/E and Price to Book. All information sources are systematically given and company financials are carefully verified and restated if needed.

 

The reports are a unique source of information to have a comparable metric for the valuation of a private company, establish the "market value" of an investment or private equity investment portfolios.

 

The deal reports are published in Epsilon's EMAT database.
