Unit 6 Company Valuation
Methods  There are three types of valuation Asset valuation Market multiples Discounted cash flow
Asset valuation With this method we base our valuation of the company on the assets as shown on the balance sheet We can use: Book value, or Adjusted book value
Asset valuation Book value As the title suggests we value the company based on the net assets as shown on the balance sheet Strengths:		Easy Weaknesses:		Only useful where accounting book value = market value  			Omits missing assets and liabilities from valuation eg 				goodwill, contingent liabilities
Asset valuation Adjusted book value Books values are adjusted to market value Strength:		Removes weakness where book assets do not equal 				market value 			Can be easy for assets with ready market values (eg 				securities) Weakness:		Not all assets easily valued (egsecondhand factory 				equipment, goodwill)
Asset valuation Adjusted book value Note that when adjusting book values, sometimes one has to “revalue” debt In unit 7 you will learn how to price a bond – ie value debt. For now consider the following: Fixed assets		 140 Current assets	   25 Current liabilities	  (10) Debt			  (50) Net assets		  105
Asset valuation Adjusted book value Note that when adjusting book values, sometimes one has to “revalue” debt In unit 7 you will learn how to price a bond – ie value debt. For now consider the following: Fixed assets		 140	160 Current assets	   25	  35 Current liabilities	  (10)	 (10) Debt			  (50)(50) Net assets		  105	135 So we revalue each of the assets.  But what about debt?
Asset valuation Adjusted book value Consider two scenarios – which company will have the higher valuation?  A					B Fixed assets		 160		Fixed assets		 	160 Current assets	   35		Current assets	   	  35 Current liabilities	  (10) 		Current liabilities	  	 (10) Debt	(@7%)	  (50) 		Debt	(@12%)	  	 (50)  Net assets		  135 		Net assets		  	135

Market multiples There are many listed in unit 6. We shall just consider a few. Market value Price to book Price earnings EV to EBITDA
Market multiples Market value The price quoted on the market gives us an idea of what others believe is the valuation. Market capitalisation = number of shares x share price = value of the company on the stock exchange So can we buy a company off the stock exchange at its market capitalisation?
Market multiples Market value No. Market takeovers are ALWAYS at a premium (up to 25% of the previously quoted price).  Consider British Airways. Its price as I write this is 198p giving a market cap of £2.3 bn. If my bonus came through and I decided to  invest £10m in BA that would get me 0.4%.  In other words my significant investment does not get me ANY control – all I am buying is a right to a dividend (as set by the Board). I do not get any:  management rights right to be a director right to see classified documents set strategy etc
Market multiples Market value But if I acquire 100% (indeed anything over 50%) I get control.  Now I have the right to: Set strategy Get free flights Put myself on the Board at whatever salary I decide Set dividend policy See all of the companies records and documents, etc But – these extra rights have to be paid for. This extra amount (over the normal share price) is called the “control premium”
Market multiples Price to book This is a multiple that takes for a similar quoted company the ratio of: Price per share / book value per share Book value and share price differ because of a number of reasons This multiple assumes that the difference is broadly in the same proportion for all similar companies.
Discounted Cash Flow Number of ways One popular is to try and estimate the dividends from the company and treat them like any other ‘project appraisal’ ie do a DCF, using the cost of equity as the discount rate
Discounted Cash Flow A very simple approximation Gordon’s Growth Model Price =  D1 / (R – G)
