EBITDA increased by ~10-25% on average.
At SVA we pride ourselves at presenting a hospital’s profitability in the best light possible. We search our client’s ledgers line-by-line to find all of the non-recurring expenses that should be added back to a clinic’s EBITDA.
We had a super-efficient practice come to us having been told by other sources that their EBITDA was ~$1m. However, after making appropriate adjustments for things like rent, non-recurring expenses, DVM compensation, and expenses that would be shifted over to an acquirer, SVA found that their true EBITDA was $1.4m.
Going to market with this more accurate EBITDA number allowed the clinic to achieve a top tier valuation with a terrific partner.
