text: NXP Semiconductors: Pending acquisition by Qualcomm for $39 billion, the largest deal in the chipmaker's history. NXP develops automotive semiconductors- and has multiple ADAS technology offerings across the sensing and controlling segments.
  The following table presents the trailing twelve-month revenue and EBITDA multiples as of September 26, 2017 or the last day it was publicly traded:
  All three of these companies have since been acquired and it is interesting to see the vast difference in multiples. NXP and Harman, two well established companies with revenues greater than USD 5 billion, have slightly similar multiples2, with a revenue multiple ranging from 1.5X-4.6X and an EBITDA multiple of 13.2X-13.6X. However, these companies have other operations that are not in the ADAS space and therefore may have diluted the pure ADAS multiple. Mobileye, on the other hand, has multiples that are 11 and 7 times greater than that of NXP and Harman. How Intel arrived at the acquisition price is based on many internal considerations that are not public information and likely include synergy opportunities.
