Unifice is a telecommunications operator focused on operating in the Southern region of Brazil, where it is one of the leading providers of broadband internet. The company's main activity is the provision of fiber optic internet services to residential (B2C) and business (B2B) clients, with a network that mainly covers the states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. In addition to broadband, the company diversified its portfolio to include landline, pay TV and datacenter services. A strategic growth front is mobile telephony, where Unifique is implementing its own 4G/5G network and offers combined (“combo”) fixed internet and mobile service plans. The company's expansion occurs both organically, through the construction of new networks, and inorganic, through the acquisition of client portfolios and smaller providers in its field of activity.
Market capitalization, or "market cap", is the aggregate market value of a company represented in a dollar amount. Since it represents the “market” value of a company, it is computed based on the current market price (CMP) of its shares and the total number of outstanding shares.
Enterprise value (EV) measures a company's total value, often used as a more comprehensive alternative to equity market capitalization. EV includes in its calculation the market capitalization of a company but also short-term and long-term debt and any cash or cash equivalents on the company's balance sheet.
The enterprise value-to-revenue multiple (EV/R) is a measure of the value of a stock that compares a company's enterprise value to its revenue. EV/R is one of several fundamental indicators that investors use to determine whether a stock is priced fairly. The EV/R multiple is also often used to determine a company's valuation in the case of a potential acquisition. It's also called the enterprise value-to-sales multiple.
The enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ratio (EV/EBITDA) compares the value of a company—debt included—to the company's cash earnings less non-cash expenses. It's best to use the EV/EBITDA metric when comparing companies within the same industry or sector. Typically, when evaluating a company, an EV/EBITDA value below 10 is seen as healthy.
It follows the same logic as the EV/EBITDA indicator, but instead of EBITDA, EBIT is used, which considers non-cash D&A expenses in the company's operating result.
