Series 79 practice questionmediumEnterprise Value vs Equity Value
A company has a share price of $40, 100 million diluted shares outstanding, $800 million in total debt, $200 million in cash, and $50 million in minority interest. What is the company's enterprise value?
- A$4,000 million
- B$4,850 million
- C$4,650 million✓ Correct answer
- D$3,850 million
Explanation
Why C — $4,650 million
Enterprise value = Equity value + Total debt + Minority interest - Cash. Equity value = $40 x 100M shares = $4,000M. EV = $4,000M + $800M + $50M - $200M = $4,650M. Minority interest is added because the company's financial statements consolidate 100% of the subsidiary's revenue and EBITDA, so to be consistent, the minority claim on that subsidiary must be included in enterprise value.
