The sale

How it ran

JC Manufacturing, a manufacturer in Dallas, came to us 120 days before it closed in June 2018. It was sold to a financial buyer, found through the same confidential process every company we represent goes through: a blind profile, buyers qualified before they learn the name, and more than one at the table where the company draws them.

What that buyer examined is what any buyer of manufacturing companies examines — the factors below, in that order.

What decided the price

What buyers look at in a manufacturing company

Adjusted EBITDA, not revenue

Earnings are recast to remove owner compensation above market, personal expenses and one-off items. Every add-back needs a paper trail, or a buyer strikes it out.

Equipment condition and age

A buyer prices the capital expenditure they will face in the first three years. Deferred maintenance comes straight off the offer.

Real estate, in or out

Owning the building can raise the total consideration, and it can also complicate the deal. It is usually cleaner to sell the operating company and lease the property back.
