Eagle Point Income Company Inc. (NYSE: EIC) is a publicly traded, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The company's primary investment objective is to generate high current income, with a secondary objective to generate capital appreciation. EIC seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). CLOs are securitized vehicles that hold portfolios of senior secured loans. EIC's investment strategy focuses on identifying and investing in CLO tranches that offer attractive risk-adjusted returns. The company is managed by Eagle Point Credit Management LLC, an investment adviser specializing in CLO and credit investments. EIC provides investors with exposure to a diversified portfolio of CLO debt, offering a potential source of high current income. The company regularly distributes income to its shareholders.
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.
