FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT 3B BSR3B01/FNM03B3 Unit 3: Valuations Class Notes and Chapter 7 Unit 3: Valuations Class Example and Notes Chapter 7 Equity valuation FRAMEWORK FOR A VALUATION 1. Purpose, date, parties involved. 2. Instruments to be valued, size of interest/entire business 3. Valuation model to be used a. Net asset value – Where zero or non-reasonable return on assets is achieved; b. Dividend Yield (Po = D/Re) - Non controlling interest, with no growth expectation; c. Dividend Growth (Po = D1/Re-g) - Non controlling interest, with growth expectation; d. Dividend Growth with control premium (Po = E1/Re-g + premium) - Controlling interest, with growth expectation (E=Earnings); 3 FRAMEWORK FOR A VALUATION – (CONT) 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. e. Free cash flow (PV of future CF’s) - Controlling interest, with fluctuating cash flows in horizon period; f. Earnings Yield (Po = E/Re) – Controlling interest with no/little growth expected. Calculate sustainable earnings / free cash flow Determine reasonable rate of return Perform valuation Do reasonability test Recommendation and negotiating factors 4 VALUATION METHODS In principle the value of an asset is the net present value of its expected future benefits discounted at the investor’s required rate of return. Vp = OCF / r 5 VALUATION OF MINORITY INTEREST • LISTED SHARES The stock exchange price is an indication of the minority valuation of the share. • UNLISTED SHARES The investor is only entitled to a stream of dividends as he does not have any control over the company (minority interest), therefore we need PRESENT VALUE the expected dividend flow. 6 VALUATION OF MINORITY INTEREST (CONT) • NO GROWTH IN DIVIDENDS Dividend return method Value of shares = Expected sustainable future dividend Reasonable rate of return The above formula is the perpetuity/annuity formula applied to a stream of dividends. Remember, the dividends is all that a minority shareholder will be entitled to. As a result to a minority shareholder, the share is only worth the present value of the expected dividend flows. 7 VALUATION OF MINORITY INTEREST (CONT) • GROWTH IN DIVIDENDS GORDON’S GROWTH MODEL: Value of share = D1 Ke - g Where: D1= the expected dividend at the end of the year; Ke = the required equity rate of return g = the expected annual growth percentage of the dividends of the company The above is essentially the perpetuity formula, where the growth is excluded from the “discounting return” due to the fact that that portion of the required return is achieved through dividend growth. 8 VALUATION OF MAJORITY INTEREST The investor is in control of the company’s assets and its dividend policy. 1. EARNINGS YIELD METHOD Steps: i. Determine the maintainable income of the company (V) ii. Determine a reasonable rate of return for the company (r) iii. Capitalise the maintainable income (V) at a reasonable rate of return (r), therefore: Value of share =V r The earnings-yield method is the inverse of the price-earnings (PE) ratio valuation method. 9 VALUATION OF MAJORITY INTEREST (CONT) 2. GORDON’S GROWTH MODEL In situations where there is high growth in the earnings of a company, Gordon’s model can be used. i. In such a case the expected earnings for the following year must replace the expected dividend for the following year in the formula. ii. A further adjustment in the value is necessary if insufficient provision has been made for goodwill or cost of control. 10 VALUATION OF MAJORITY INTEREST (CONT) 3. FREE CASH FLOW METHOD The value of an asset is determined by the cash benefits (not earnings) provided by the asset. Where i. the company’s earnings differ greatly from its cash flow or ii. great fluctuations in annual cash flows are expected, the free cash flow method is more appropriate than the earnings yield method. 11 VALUATION OF MAJORITY INTEREST (CONT) The formula: Value of the company's equity = Cash flow before interest WACC Less: Value of debt Cash flow before interest = Sustainable earnings + amortisations and depreciation, adjusted for working capital flows and capital flows Note: Focus on class example provided 12 VALUATION OF MAJORITY INTEREST (CONT) 4. NET ASSET VALUE METHOD • It is important to distinguish between the going concern value and the liquidation value of an enterprise. 5. GOING CONCERN VALUE • If an enterprise is sold as a concern, the buyer will pay the going concern value of the enterprise. The difference between this and the liquidation value is often called goodwill. 13 VALUATION OF MAJORITY INTEREST (CONT) 6. LIQUIDATION VALUE This is the net amount that the assets of the enterprise would realise if an asset stripping action was to be performed, assets sold individually and the debts settled. To determine the liquidation value, provision must be made for the following inter alia: • writing off of intangible assets • obsolete inventory • bad debt and debt collection costs • revaluation of assets • the benefit of tax losses • the tax effect resulting from the sale of assets 14 VALUATION OF MAJORITY INTEREST (CONT) Liquidation values are used: i. ii. when the enterprise does not make a reasonable return on its assets; and as a reasonability test after using other valuation methods. 15 CLASS EXAMPLE… Practical Example….. 16
