Valuation

Firm Valuation
The value of the firm is the present value of expected future
(distributable) cash flow discounted at the WACC
Firm Valuation Models
Free Cash Flows to Firm
◦ Also called the WACC approach
◦ 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑎 𝐹𝑖𝑟𝑚 / Asset
𝐹𝐶𝐹1 𝐹𝐶𝐹2 𝐹𝐶𝐹3 𝐹𝐶𝐹𝑛
+ + + …… +
(1+𝑟)1 (1+𝑟)2 (1+𝑟)3 (1+𝑟)𝑛
◦ EBIT(1-t) + Depreciation – Capital expenditure – Change in Net working Capital
◦ Discount at WACC
◦ D/E ratio is assumed constant
Estimating Terminal Values
•A publicly traded firm potentially has an infinite life. The value is therefore the
present value of cash flows forever.
• Most projects have finite lives
•Since we cannot estimate cash flows forever, we estimate cash flows for a “growth
period” and then estimate a terminal value, to capture the value at the end of the
period
Approaches to Estimating Terminal Value
1. Terminal Value as a Growing Perpetuity
2. Terminal Value as a Stable Perpetuity
3. Terminal Value as a multiple
◦ Price-to-earnings, EV/EBITDA, and other multiples

b Investment (chg. in gross fixed assets) 6547 7345 7450 7870
Corporate tax rate is 35%. WACC is 12% and the sustainable long-term growth rate is 4%. Estimate the
value of the firm’s operations

Adjusted Present Value
Adjusted Present Value Approach
APV approach: 𝑉𝐿 = 𝑉𝑈 + 𝑉𝐹𝑆𝐸
The value of an unlevered firm (all-equity firm) plus the present value
of the financing side effects (V_FSE).
Side effects of financing:
◦ Interest tax shields
◦ The Costs of Financial Distress
◦ Subsidies, etc.
Adjusted Present Value (APV)
APV analyses financial manoeuvres separately and then adds their value to that of the business
Value of the firm with no Leverage
◦ Evaluate the business as if it were financed entirely with equity
◦ Free Cash flows to firm discounted at the unlevered cost of equity, i.e., 𝐾𝐴 (Cost of equity of an all-
equity firm)

Add Financing side effects (FSE)


◦ Present Value of Interest tax-shields generated by raising a given amount of debt
◦ Discounted at 𝐾𝐷
◦ Discount rate is Kd when debt level (in value) is fixed or reducing
Summary: APV, and WACC
 Guidelines:
 Use FCF (WACC) approach if the firm’s target debt-to-value ratio is
constant or known.
 Use APV if the level of debt is known and D/V is not constant
 In the real world, the FCF (WACC approach) is, by far, the most
widely used.
Firm Value
Value of Non-operating assets
• Intrinsic valuation (using FCFF, APV approaches) gives Value of Operations (also called Core Enterprise
Value)
◦ Value (Firm) = Value of Operations + Value of Non-operating Assets

Non-operating assets
◦ Excess cash (non-operating cash), marketable securities, equity stake in affiliates (minority stake
investments)

Equity Value
◦ Firm Value – Debt = Equity Value
◦ Equity Value / Outstanding Shares = Equity Value per share
