In the context of the EV/EBITDA multiple, how does adding Noncontrolling Interest (NCI) to the numerator achieve the 'Matching Principle'?

  1. It allows the analyst to compare the company's effective tax rate against non-consolidated industry peers.
  2. EBITDA includes 100% of the subsidiary's earnings, so the numerator must reflect 100% of the subsidiary's value.
  3. NCI represents a recurring cash inflow that gets added to the enterprise's cash balance to determine net acquisition cost.
  4. It ensures the multiple is anchored to the book value of equity rather than its market trading value.
