You can refer to the table below to see how the EBITDA multiples for the industries available on the Equidam platform will change on February 23, 2023. These are applied to compute the Terminal value in the DCF method with Multiple and the potential exit value in the VC method.
The data is based on the early 2023 estimate, published annually by Prof. Aswath Damodaran of New York University.
Note: Three industries (denoted with †) were not included in the update from Prof. Aswath Damodaran. As a temporary solution, we have reverted these multiples to pre-pandemic levels as a reflection the broad trend. We aim to make an additional update once more precise multiples are available.
