EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin is EBITDA divided by revenue. It is operating profitability, in percent.
Divide EBITDA by revenue. The ratio lets you compare profitability across firms of different size. Typical DACH mid-market bands run at 6 to 15 percent in industrial services and components, 10 to 20 percent in machinery with a service book, and 15 to 30 percent among high-margin specialists and MedTech. A margin well above the peer set usually supports a higher multiple.
Example
Revenue 8.0 million euros, EBITDA 0.8 million euros. EBITDA margin = 0.8 / 8.0 = 10 percent.
