As legendary investor Warren Buffet succinctly puts it: “it is better to buy great companies at fair prices, rather than fair companies at great prices”. Today, we think Mpac has done exactly that by acquiring Ohio based Switchback Group, Inc. for a maximum of $15m in cash (£11.4m). Equivalent to modest takeover multiples of 7.1x EV/EBIT and 1.1x EV/sales – with $13m of the consideration paid upfront, and the rest structured as a $2m earnout depending on EBITDA performance over the next 24 months.
