Food for thought

An inexperienced appraiser too often clings


to the formula as if it were a lifeline and lets
himself drift on the currents without the rudder
of a critical mind to guide him
H. Mauguire, 1961

There are no absolute values, because things do


not impose values on us; it is man himself
who sets them
Viel, Bredt and Renard, 1971

Philippe Foulquier Valuation: from Theory to Practice

Chapter I. Financial Flows & Risk Price of the main protagonists

Difference between the value and the price of a company


In its general theory, Keynes mentioned that the companys fundamental
value corresponds to the present value of the flows of revenues du to the
ownership of the capital.
Although the price is based on the value of the Company, it depends on
subjective elements which are not always quantifiable, e.g.:

relationship between the buyers and the sellers


their determination or obligation to succeed
their respective negotiation skills
the buyers interest in the company
etc...

Misjudging the goals of the companies can lead to inconsistent valuations
and halt negotiations.

Discounting
To discount means to calculate the present
value of a future cash flow
Discounting converts a future values into a
present value while capitalisation converts
values into future ones.
Having discounted the future value to a
present value, we can then compare it with
other values.
Discounting is based on the time value of
money (time is money!)
V(0) = V(T) * [1/(1+i)T]
where 1/(1+i)T discounting factor
V(T) = V(0) * (1+i)T where (1+i)T capitalisation factor

IRR Internal Rate of Return (or yield to maturity)


The discounting rate that makes NPV equal to zero is called the IRR or yield to
maturity.
If an investments IRR is higher than the investor-required
return, you will make the investment or buy the security.
Yield to maturity => financial security
Internal Rate of Return => other capital expenditure
An investment is worth making when its internal rate of return is equal to or
greater than the investors required return.

III. 3. Market risk premium

The required rate of return of an asset i is a linear function of the risk,


measured by the beta of the asset

IV. Models measuring market risk
IV.1. Capital Asset Pricing Model

Assumptions

No transaction costs, assets infinitely divisible (diversification)


Efficient portfolios (higher return for a given level of risk)
Homogeneous expectations among investors (all relevant information)
=> market portfolio
Introduction of the risk-free asset (risk preference)

CAPM: E(ri) = rF + i (E(rM) rF)


Philippe Foulquier Valuation: from Theory to Practice

36

Chapter 2: Choice of discount rate


IV.2. Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT)

Firm-specific and market risk components (like the CAPM)


Diversification eliminates firm-specific risk

Market risk measured to unspecified macroeconomic variables

APT: E(ri) = rF + i1 (E(r1) rF) ++ iK (E(rK) rF)


Where

ik beta on factor k (called factor beta )


E(rK) rF risk premium for each of the factors in the model
called factor risk premium

IV.3. Regression or Proxy models

Fama and French model (1992) increasingly used


E(ri) = rF + i1 (E(rM) rF) + i2 (E(rsmall) E(rbig) + i3 (E(rhigh) E(rlow)
3 factors: market return (CAPM)
size (gap between small and large caps: liquidity)
book value/market capitalization
Over 1963-1990, high-return investments tended to be investments in
companies with low market cap and high book-to-price ratio

Other factors: P/E, market capitalization, liquidity (through size, free float,
transaction volume, bid-ask spread), etc.

t=1,n Ft / (
where

Ft are the flows generated by the asset,

V.1
V.1. Risk
Risk--free rate choice

Expected return known with certainty

There can be no default risk (at least on local borrowing).


(adjustment when default-free entity exists)

There can be no reinvestment risk


=> different risk-free rates for each period? Zero coupon rate?

V.2. Risk premium choice

Historical premium earned by stocks over default-free securities over long


time periods

Three reasons for the divergence in historical risk premium


i) Time period used (risk aversion issue)
ii) Choice of risk-free securities
iii) Choice of market index

Alternative approach: the implied equity premium

Chapter 2: Choice of discount rate


V.3. Beta choice: 2 approaches

V.3.1. Historical market betas


Rj = a + b RM where a: intercept from the regression
b: slope of the regression = cov(Rj, RM)/M2
CAPM: Rj = RF + (RM RF) = RF (1- ) + RM
a - RF (1- ) is called Jensens alpha and provides a measure of performance
of the investment during the period of the regression

FCFE: variants on the DDM


Cash flows to equity left over after meeting all financial obligations vs.
dividends => after the impact of financing

2 approaches: from the bottom up or from the top down


FCFE =

net profit + depreciation and provisions capital expenditure


- change in working capital + new debt issue debt repayment
- exceptional items + asset disposal

FCFE =

EBITDA change in WC
+ financial profit - tax capital expenditure

III. Free Cash Flow to Equity Discount Models

The company value is V0 = t=1,inf FCFEt /(1 +rrE)t


- if FCFE growth is equal to zero => then V0 = FCFE / rE
- if FCFE growth is equal to the rate g => V0 = FCFE1 / (rE - g)
- if FCFE growth is variable:
V0 = t=1,n FCFEt /(1 + rE)t + Vn /(1 + rE)n
= t=1,n FCFEt /(1 + rE)t + FCFEn [(1+g)/(rE - g)] /(1 + rE)n

The company is valued the same way as in the FCFE method, but before the
impact of financing, i.e. before financial profit.

1- CASH FLOW (CF) . IMPROPER


-

CF is financing that is internally generated by the firm.

CF = EBITDA net financial expense corporate income tax

CF = net income + depreciation and amortization and impairment

positive and negative cash flows deriving from the length of the
production process (which varies from business to business) and the
commercial policy (customer and supplier credit).

achieve a higher profitability. FCF are the flow generated from
economic assets (equity + debt)

expenditure (investment outlays).

NET PRESENT VALUE (NPV)


- From the cash flows of an investment it is possible to determine its
value creation
- NPV represent the value of cash flows linked to the investment
discounted at the rate of return required by the market. This rate of
return depends on the investment risk.
- The NPV represents the expected amount of value creation
anticipated for the investment. An investment may be undertaken if
the NPV is positive.

Congratulations, you have been designated CFO of FCF company. During your
first meeting, you will analyse the launch of a new business line with the
marketing, operations and budget directors.
A.

In order to boost FCFs sales (growth rate has been slow for a few years), the
marketing director suggests launching a new product to reach a market
segment that has been inaccessible until now.
He proposes to sell this new product at a price of EUR 239 each (year N+1),
which is the same price of other exiting products. The total amount of sales
(existing and new products) is estimated to be 110,000 items.
The sales amount during the previous year (N) was EUR 24,600 KEUR

Issue: how to identify a subset of relevant ratios to perform
the analysis of a company?
The DuPont model, carried out by executives of DuPont de Nemours
company in the 60s, promotes a systematic analysis approach based on a
central ratio, broken down into:
- Three ratios (first level of analysis)
- Which in turn are broken down into other ratios (second level of
analysis)
to avoid missing critical elements and refine the analysis.
It also highlights interdependences among ratios.

V. Value creation (EVA and MVA)
V.1. Background

Stern-Stewart (US) created a tool to calculate the variable part of managers


remuneration based on performance measures.
Criteria:

EVA or Economic Value Added

MVA or Market Value Added


V.2. Value creation

A company creates value when its operations generate profitability above its
financial resources

Chapter 3: Choice of cash flows


V. Value creation (EVA and MVA)
V.3. Economic Value Added (EVA)

EVA measures the internal (economic) performance of a company. It is the


difference between the after-tax operating profit and the cost of CE

EVA = EBIT (1 - TC) - (WACC * CE)

If EVA > 0 => value is created for the shareholder


(performance higher than market expectations)

Debate:
What impact do share buybacks followed by their cancellation have on EVA?

Philippe Foulquier Valuation: from Theory to Practice

115

Chapter 3: Choice of cash flows


V. Value creation (EVA and MVA)
V.4. Market Value Added (MVA)

MVA measures the external performance of a company.

It is the difference between the market value of the invested capital and its
book value.

Often, the market value of the debt is equal to its book value
=> MVA is equal to the difference between market capitalisation (CAPI) and
book value (BV).

MVA is defined as the market estimate of the present value of EVA flows.
MVA = CAPI - BV = t=1,n EVAt /(1 + WACC)t

Chapter 4: Peer comparison


II. Price earnings ratio

PER or P/E: stock price / (restated) net profit per share.

It establishes the relationship between the value of an asset and the net profit it
is going to generate.

Net profit is normalised (economic approach). This means attributable net


profit, excluding exceptional items.

The number of shares must include all existing and potential shares (including
convertible bonds, bonds repayable in shares ORA, warrants BSA, etc.), and
net profit must be restated (financial charge savings)

Philippe Foulquier Valuation: from Theory to Practice

122

Chapter 4: Peer comparison


III. Price earnings growth ratio (PEG)

Target: to partly offset the static aspect of P/E

Growth can be included based on: P/En = P/En-1 /(1+gn)


where gn indicates the growth rate of the net profit per share during year n.

PEG = P/E / average profit growth over 3 years

IV. Relative P/E

Target: to take into account that relative P/E can be sensitive to macroeconomic issues apart from different accounting practices in each country

Relative P/E is determined:


- based on a financial market (relative P/E Paris / relative P/E New York)
- based on a sector (average sector relative P/E / average market relative P/E
- based on peersPhilippe

V. Net Asset Value or Book Value Multiple (NAV or BV)

In sectors where book value accounts for a large part of value, the net asset
value or BV multiple is often used

Including profitability widens the scope of the measure, notably by comparing


NAV multiples with each companys profitability

The regression line is a very good valuation tool when it is statistically relevant

VI. Operating multiple (sales, EBITDA, EBIT, etc.)

II. Asset valuation (B/S) / Cash flow (P&L): Mix Valuation
II.1. Goodwill
Used in addition to an asset valuation insofar as it is an answer to NAVs lack of
projection momentum.
Goodwill links a dynamic future cash flows valuation and the valuation of asset
values.
II.2. Anglo-Saxon method
Based on shareholders equity profitability cash flows (after financial expenses)
Shareholders equity value:
V = NAVEI + GW
where
NAVEI = NAV excluding intangibles
GW = t=1,n(NPt - [NAVEIt * rE ]) / (1+ rE )t = goodwill
NPt = net profit for year t
rE = ro + (rM - ro)
NP - [NAVEI * rE] = super profit
n = number of years during which we expect the company will keep its
competitive advantage (which is the basis for better profitability than
expected by the market)

II. Asset valuation (B/S) / Cash flow (P&L): Mix Valuation
II.3. Goodwill based on capital employed

Based on capital employed profitability cash flows (shareholders equity +


debt => cash flows before financial expenses).

Value of the company is : V = NAVEI + GW


where NAVEI = NAV excluding intangibles
GW = t=1,n(EBITDAt*(1-TC)-(CEt*WACC))/(1+WACC)t = goodwill
CE = capital employed needed for operations
= tangibles at market value + working capital requirements (WCR)
EBITDAt*(1-TC)-(CEt*WACC) = super profit
n = number of years during which we expect the company will keep its
competitive advantage (which is the basis for better profitability than
expected by the market)

Chapter 6: Cash flow-Asset Mix Valuation


II. Asset valuation (B/S) / Cash flow (P&L): Mix Valuation
II.4. Sum-of-the-parts
Previous approaches can be refined owing to:
* The economic value based on:
- Allocated capital by activity
- Normalised profitability according to activity
- Cost of capital by activity
* The true value by reconciling the theoretical economic value and
the balance sheet based on :
- The difference between allocated shareholders equity and true
equity (shareholders equity in B&S)
- Revalued assets such as capital gains, over or under provisioning,
goodwill booked B&S, etc.
