The Private Equity Value Report in association with BDO is based on data captured for UK businesses that were private equity-backed as of 31 December 2022, and have filed group-level accounts in the three years from 2022 to 2024.
To qualify for analysis, companies must have a turnover of between £10m and £300m within those financial years and have registered positive EBITDA between FY22 and FY24.
The companies forming the full qualifying sample were identified using several 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 was less than three years of data available.
We also eliminated companies where the EBITDA was negative or declined 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.
