Price to EBITDA? should, always, reports, anybody, included

Elliotbay

I've always thought that Price and Enterprise Value metrics should have the numerator and denominator on the same basis to make apples-to-apples comparisons (i.e., price to earnings, EV/EBITDA, EV/Sales, etc). However in a few sell side reports I was looking at they included a Price to EBITDA metric in their summary info. Does anybody have any insight as to why they would use P/EBITDA or how often this is used?
