The calculation of the implied values for PCP based on the median of the peer firms’ multiples takes the product of the median value of the multiples of comparable firms (line 8) and multiplies it
times the relevant base (revenue, EBITDA, EBIT, net income, or book value) for PCP. The same method is used for the calculation of the implied value based on the average or mean of the peer
firms’ multiples (line 9). For instance, the implied value based on the median multiple of EBIT ($37,755 million) is derived by multiplying 14.51 (the mean EBIT multiple for the comparable firms)
times $2,602 million (the EBIT of PCP).
