Key Terms

enterprise value, equity interest, concessions

3 terms

enterprise value financial

"for an enterprise value of $295 million U.S. Dollars."

Enterprise value is the total worth of a company, reflecting what it would cost to buy the entire business. It includes the company's market value plus any debts, minus its cash holdings, offering a comprehensive picture of its true value. Investors use it to compare companies regardless of their capital structures, helping them assess how much they would need to pay to acquire the business.

View in glossary

equity interest financial

"acquiring all of the issued and outstanding equity interest of URW Airports, LLC"

An equity interest is an ownership stake in a company that gives the holder a share of its assets, profits and sometimes voting power—think of owning a slice of a pie that grows or shrinks with the business. Investors care because the size and type of that stake determine how much they benefit from future gains, bear losses, receive dividends, or influence decisions, and it directly affects the value and risk of their investment.

concessions financial

"a portfolio of concessions to operate, maintain, and develop 16 airports"

Concessions are deliberate incentives or compromises offered by a seller, issuer, or underwriter—such as price discounts, extra shares, fee reductions, or other sweeteners—to make an investment or transaction more attractive. Like a store marking down an item to entice buyers, concessions matter to investors because they lower expected returns or signal weaker demand, changing the true cost, value and risk of the deal.
