## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Real Matters Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 1.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.2×.
- **Price / book: 2.7×**. The shares trade at 2.7× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 47.6×**. Enterprise value is 47.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -0.9%** (5-yr avg 1.1%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
