Billboard Values

Outdoor Values March 2015

Public outdoor values have been increasing.  The three US outdoor companies are valued at 4.4 times revenues and 14.2 times cashflow as the following table demonstrates.

Enterprise Value/Revenue March 2015
Clear Channel Revenue Multiple 2.83
Lamar Revenue Multiple 5.84
Outfront Revenue Multiple 4.65
     Average Revenue Multiple 4.44
   
Enterprise Value/Cashflow(EBIDTA) March 2015
Clear Channel 11.70
Lamar 14.07
Outfront 16.94
     Average Revenue Multiple 14.24

Private company outdoor values have averaged 4-6 times gross revenue and 8-10 times cashflow.  I have seen some higher transactions recently, especially for static billboards in a great location which can be converted to digital.  Sellers have been raising their asking prices to the 10-15 times cashflow but I have seen few small transactions at those prices.
