Arcadian:
Gene diagnostics industry

Investment Opportunity:
Original Offer: 60% equity interest in Arcadian
for $40M

Value of the Investment:


Determined through estimating terminal value
Itis the lump sum of cash flows at the end of a
stream of cash flows, which represent:
The proceeds from exiting an investment;
The present value of all cash flows beyond the
forecast horizon

Terminal values are important because:


They are present in the valuation of almost every
asset
They measure the continuing value derived from
the going concern of the business.

Limitations:
Forecasts for 10 and 11 years, but neither attains stable growth
Ideally, we should continue forecasting until stable growth begins
Difficult due to the company being in its early stages

When should TV be estimated?


At end of 2013?
Cash flow growth is volatile after 2013
At end of the Forecasted Cash Flow period?
Cash Flow growth has declined and will further decline until 5% is
reached

It is reasonable to assume that growth will fall to 5% by


2016 given the pattern of decline since 2013

Use the End of the Forecasting Period to Estimate TV
