EV/EBITDA

The current EV/EBITDA of -52.1x means the company’s Enterprise Value (market cap plus debt minus cash) is negative relative to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), which is itself negative.

This indicates the company is currently unprofitable at the EBITDA level. Compared to sector peers, the sector median EV/EBITDA is 14.6x, and CTLT sits at the 1st percentile among those peers, meaning nearly all competitors have a higher (and positive) multiple. Trend data is not available: the year-over-year change is N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and the trend direction over the last 8 quarters is also N/A, so no trajectory can be assessed. The combination of a deeply negative EV/EBITDA with no trend information implies elevated risk, as the company’s negative earnings multiple signals financial strain, but the lack of historical context leaves uncertainty about whether conditions are improving or worsening. This metric contradicts the overall NEUTRAL verdict, because a negative EV/EBITDA at the 1st percentile among peers typically suggests a distressed or high-risk situation that would normally warrant a negative view rather than a balanced one.
