In the ARM industry, a midsize company has $5-20 million in annual revenues and is typically among the leading players in the market segment that it services.

Pricing is typically derived by a buyer applying a multiple to the seller’s adjusted EBITDA. In today’s competitive marketplace, with low interest rates and availability of capital, pricing typically falls in the range of 4-7 times seller’s annual adjusted EBITDA.

Higher amounts of cash tend to drive lower multiples for midsize businesses.
