ParentCo owns 80% of SubCo. SubCo generates $100 million of EBITDA.

Why is the full value of the noncontrolling interest (NCI) added in the Enterprise Value calculation?

  1. To ensure the numerator and denominator of the EV/EBITDA multiple are consistent.
  2. Because NCI represents a form of debt that must be repaid over time.
  3. To account for the fact that SubCo is a separate legal entity from its parent, ParentCo.
  4. To inflate the reported enterprise value in order to command a higher potential sale price.
