Methodology

The Private Equity Value report in association with BDO is based on data captured for UK businesses that were private equity-backed as at 31/12/2020 and have filed group-level accounts in the three years from 2020 to 2022. To qualify for analysis, companies must have a turnover of between £10m and £300m in the latest financial accounts and have registered an increase in Ebitda between FY20 and FY22. The companies forming the full qualifying sample were identified using a number of sources, including Pitchbook, Real Deals Media’s proprietary data archives and other publicly available online sources. The financial data was collated using FAME, Pitchbook and Companies House. To produce the financial information, we took the last three years of turnover and profit data, and calculated the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of both, eliminating companies where there is less than three years of data available. We also eliminated companies where there has been a decline in profit over the whole period considered. Some of the financial information is based on accounts prepared under UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and some is based on accounts prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. Similarly, the data includes both adjusted and non-adjusted Ebitda figures. The financial information in this report has been compiled exclusively from publicly available information, applying the key assumptions and having regard to the limitations outlined above. It has been designed solely to illustrate trends in the financial performance of a representative sample of companies in the region. BDO has not carried out any verification work on the financial information in this report and gives no opinion on the financial information. BDO makes no claims, promises or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of the contents of this report. No reliance should be placed on the information contained in this report and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, BDO does not accept or assume any responsibility to anyone for the information contained in this report.
