How did we build this Industry & Manufacturing analysis?
The 10.9x average EV/EBITDA is based on mynth’s verified database of 294+ Industry & Manufacturing M&A transactions. The data is contributed by M&A and private equity professionals, then manually reviewed by mynth’s analysts to ensure consistency and accuracy. Each transaction is validated by comparing submitted figures with press releases, public announcements, market coverage, and private documents when available. This methodology gives mynth access to transaction-level intelligence that is often unavailable in traditional databases, allowing for a more precise view of valuation trends across the Industry & Manufacturing industry. Thanks to this community-driven approach, we provide a unique and highly granular view of each sector and sub-sector, from Automotive and Industrial Equipment to Retail & Services, Manufacturers (OEM) and Auto Parts & Systems, as examples.
How does mynth enrich this analysis for users?
Once logged in, users can access detailed financial data for each transaction, including the Enterprise Value, Equity Value, Revenue, EBITDA, and EBIT for the current year and for prior fiscal years, as well as the corresponding Revenue, EBITDA, and EBIT multiples. On each deal page, the sources of the financial data are clearly indicated: links to press articles or official announcements, or a tag specifying when the data comes from confidential documents shared by the user. This transparency helps users assess the reliability and origin of the valuation figures. Every company in the database is tagged by sector with four levels of granularity, enabling users to distinguish between very different business models and valuation approaches that would otherwise be hidden at a broad sector level. This detailed segmentation separates asset‑heavy cyclical manufacturers from more service‑oriented industrial players, allowing for more precise benchmarking of EV/EBITDA and revenue multiples. The platform also tags each company by geography, enabling users to focus on specific countries or regions. mynth features a powerful search engine that lets you run highly refined queries by sector (with all four levels of industry depth), country, and company size, so you can quickly build custom peer groups, compare multiples, and export results directly to Excel.
