Enterprise Value Financing Scope Across 9 Reviewed Companies
Complete net-debt evidence was still not enough for enterprise value in 3 of 9 reviewed companies
All nine companies in the reviewed cohort had complete current borrowings and liquid-financial-asset evidence. Six could use the bounded common-equity-plus-net-debt enterprise-value formula. Three were deliberately withheld because another reviewed financing layer remained outside that simplified scope.

The public table intentionally publishes classification and SEC source details rather than debt, cash, net-debt, market-cap, or enterprise-value amounts.

Methodology
- Use the nine companies for which Grizzly Bulls had complete reviewed current borrowings and liquid-financial-asset evidence at one balance-sheet date.
- Require complete reviewed borrowings and liquid-financial-asset scope. Do not substitute total liabilities for debt.
- Classify the simplified EV formula as compatible only when the reviewed financing scope supports common equity plus net debt without a known omitted financing layer.
- Keep preferred equity and noncontrolling interests as separate reasons for withholding rather than forcing an incomplete enterprise value.
- Publish classification, dates and SEC source details only. Do not redistribute the underlying debt/cash amounts or calculate market cap, enterprise value, or valuation multiples in this study.
Data cutoff: latest included SEC filing September 2, 2026.
Primary SEC sources
The issuer filings establish the reviewed balance-sheet and financing-scope evidence. The compatible/withheld counts summarize that nine-company sample.

Citation and reuse
When citing the 3-of-9 result, preserve that this is a selected reviewed cohort and that withholding describes a bounded EV methodology rather than the broader public-company population.
