"Made Back" usually means "Covered the purchase price".
I was merely commenting on the unusual practice of multiplying revenue by the multiplier that a company is usually bought at and then using that to say that the price is "made back".
I guess one could say something like "that justifies their price using a 30x multiplier on the savings". But that isn't the same thing.
