Valuation methods used
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
With this method, we come to what is called the “intrinsic value” of the company. This method projects the company's cash flows because the real - intrinsic value of the company is the present value of future cash flows. Future cash flows are discounted to present value at a rate that represents the investor's required return. To project cash flow it is necessary to make projections of P&L and balance sheet.
Trading multiples
This method requires the relative values of companies listed on stock exchanges, that are from the same industry as the observed company. Relative values refer to multipliers such as EV/Sales, EV/EBITDA, PB ratio, PE ratio, price-earnings per share ratio, etc. The average or median values of these multipliers calculated for similar listed companies are then multiplied by the company's valuation indicators.
Transaction multiples
This method also looks for the relative values of companies, i.e. looks at the multipliers by which M&A transactions were recently executed in the industry of the observed company. Similar to trade multipliers, it is a method that looks for the relative values of companies. In particular, we are interested in which revenue multipliers, EBITDA, etc. were used for takeover transactions in the industry of the observed company.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
A simple 3 step process:
- Initial meeting – we get to know your goals
- Data collection and analysis
- Final reporting
At the initial meeting, you get to know our team, which collects the first data needed for the assessment. The process of collecting all the data needed for the assessment follows. The duration of this part depends on the complexity of the project. The final phase is the preparation of the valuation report and its presentation. With the final report, you learn the true (intrinsic) value of the company, and how to increase its value.
