Understanding EV/Sales
Enterprise Value (EV) = Market Cap + Total Debt - Cash
Sales = Total Revenue (TTM)
EV/Sales is commonly used because:
- It works for unprofitable companies where P/E doesn't apply
- Revenue is harder to manipulate than earnings
- It supports comparisons across companies at different profitability stages
- It is frequently used for software and other revenue-growth-focused companies
Note: EV/Sales does not include margin, debt maturity, cash conversion, or growth durability by itself.
EV/Sales Ratio Formula & Definition
EV/Sales = Enterprise Value / Revenue (TTM)
Enterprise value to sales compares total company value to revenue, useful across capital structures and for unprofitable companies.
