geography, product, channel and customer type)
– Understand the relationship between brand equity and key value drivers in
the business model
– Understand the strengths and weaknesses of the brand compared with key
competitors
– Provide a planning framework for long term strategic marketing investment
– Create a framework for marketing mix modelling
– Create the framework for better reporting and managing brand performance
(brand scorecard or dashboard)
– Create a body of information about brand performance for use in investor
and banking presentations

Valuation Methods
IVSC

As the established international standard setter for valuation, the IVSC develops
and maintains standards for the reporting and disclosure of valuations, especially
those that will be relied upon by investors and other third party stakeholders.

In 2006, the IVSC was commissioned to produce a ‘Guidance Note on the valuation of
intangible assets for IFRS financial reports’ by the following bodies:

• The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)


• American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
• International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)

Consultation responses received in 2009 and final guidelines have been published as of
February 2010

The purpose of this Guidance Note was to:

• Address valuation issues not covered by IFRS


• Codify existing best practice
• Address strengths and weaknesses of different valuation methods
• Improve consistency and reliability of results

ISO
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world's largest developer
and publisher of International Standards. It is a network of the national standards
institutes of 162 countries, one member per country, with a Central Secretariat in
Geneva that coordinates the system.

In 2006, Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) produced a German standard on brand
valuation. DIN proposed to ISO to expand this initiative globally and this project was
completed in 2010.

The purpose of the ISO Draft Standard 10668 is:

• To create a universal standard for all applications in all territories.

• To create an accepted, transparent methodology which is reproducible.

• To ensure that all important analysis should be included in a brand valuation


exercise, namely legal issues, behavioural issues, and financial analysis.

On 20th December 2010, Brand Finance was certified to produce brand valuations in
compliance with ISO by Austrian Standards plus

Introduction to Royalty Relief methodology

Value
Revenue Forecast

• The Royalty Relief approach is based on the assumption that if a company did not own any trademarks it would
need to license them from a third party trademark owner instead. Ownership therefore ‘relieves’ the company
from paying a license fee (the royalty) for the use of the third party trademarks
• The royalty relief method involves estimating likely future sales, applying an appropriate royalty rate to them and
then discounting estimated future, post-tax royalties, to arrive at a Net Present Value (NPV). This is held to
represent the brand value.

• Brand Finance uses the Royalty Relief methodology for three reasons:
– Firstly, it is the approach that is most recognised by technical authorities worldwide and favoured by
accounting, tax and legal users because it calculates brand values by reference to comparable, third-party
transactions.
– Secondly, it ties back to the commercial reality of brands - their ability to command a premium in an arm’s
length transaction.
– Finally, because it can be performed on the basis of publicly available financial information.

Five Steps - Royalty Relief Valuation


Determine future revenues attributable to the brand over a five year explicit
1. Determine forecast revenues forecast period. This is done by referencing historic trends, market growth
estimates, competitive forces , analyst projections and company forecasts.

Review comparable licensing agreements. Analyse margins and value drivers.


2. Establish Royalty Rate Range Establish average royalty rate range for relevant sector.

Determine the strength of the brand using the ßrandßeta® Index. Apply
3. Assess the Brand Strength ßrandßeta® Index to royalty rate range to determine royalty rate for the brand

Determine discount rate to calculate the net present value (‘NPV’) of future
4. Determine the Discount Rate brand earnings (accounting for the time value of money and the associated
risk).

5. Brand Valuation Calculation The NPV of post-tax royalties equals the brand value

9. Wealth Management Over Planning Period

• Revenue forecasts for a five-year period (2011-2015) were created based on IBES forecasts and a perpetuity
growth rate determined by reference to GDP growth in geographic regions of operation.

• Revenues attributed to the different sectors are based on publicly available and reported data. In a number of
cases this simplifies the breakdown from the possible categories above.

• IBES (Institutional Brokers' Estimate System) is offered on a summary (consensus) level or detailed (analyst-by-
analyst) basis. With over 26 data items that are updated as often as five times a day, it is designed to help
portfolio managers and analysts identify, manipulate, and analyze exceptional information for over 25,000
equities worldwide.

• Brand Finance uses the IBES forecast for the company to determine the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of
the future years.

• It relies on verifiable third party data (licensing agreements) and
therefore less judgment is involved;
• It recognises that brands can have a value even where the

• It can be performed on the basis of publicly available financial
information.

Cons • At times it is difficult to source comparable license agreements • Highly judgmental, particularly when done without specific, detailed market
