Q

Q

Determining Present Value of Growth Opportunities (PVGO)

A

1) Value of the company’s options to invest, captured by the word ‘opportunities’
2) The flexibility to adapt investments to new circumstances and information is valuable
3) Value of the company’s option to time the start, adjust the scale, or even abandon future projects

Value of no-growth company = Dividend/r

P/E = 1/r + PVGO/E

Q

P/E

A

Forward P/E = (D/E)/r - g = (1 - b)/r - g

Trailing P/E = [D(1 + g)/E]/r - g = [(1 - b)(1 + g)]/(r - g)

Q

Constant-Growth FFCF Model (Single Stage FFCF)

A

Firm Value = FFCF(1 + g)/(WACC - g)

24
Q

FFCF Formula

A

FFCF = NI + Non cash charged + Int(1 - tax) - FCInv - WCInv

FFCF = CFO + Int(1 - tax) - FCInv

25
Q

FCFE (Formula)

A

FFCE = FCFF - Int(1 - tax) + Net borrowing

FCFE = CFO - FCInv + Net borrowing

26
Q

Normalized EPS

A

The EPS that the business could be expected to achieve under mid-cyclical conditions.

Calculated as the average EPS over the most recent full cycle (4 quarters) or
Average ROE from most recent full cycle, multiplied by the current book value per share.

27
Q

P/E to Growth Ratio (PEG)

A

A calculation of a stock’s P/E per percentage point of expected growth.

PEG Ratio = (P/E)/Expected earnings growth in %

Stocks with lower ratios are more attractive. Some say a number under 1 is an indicator of value.

28
Q

Adjustments to Book Value

A

Some adjustments to book value:

1) Tangible book value - subtract reported intangible assets from shareholders’ equity
2) Adjusting LIFO to FIFO
3) Adjust for off-balance sheet assets and liabilities

29
Q

Price to Book Ratio

A

P/B = (ROE -g)/r - g

P/B = 1 + present value of expected future residual earnings/B

30
Q

Price-to-Sales

A

P/S = price per share/annual net sales per share

P/S = [(Profit Margin)(Payout Ratio)(1 + g)]/(r - g)

P/S = P/E x Net profit margin

Sales x Net profit margin = Net income

Annual net sales per share = total sales - returns and customer discounts

31
Q

Dividend Displacement of Earnings

A

Holding return on equity constant, dividends paid now displace earnings in all future periods.

32
Q

Dividend Yield

A

D/P = (r - g)/(1 + g)

33
Q

Enterprise Value

A

Total company value (market value of debt, common equity and preferred stock) minus cash and short term investments.

34
Q

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)

A

ROIC = operating profit after-tax/total invested capital

Is relevant measure of profitability because EBITDA flows to all providers if capital.

35
Q

Total Invested Capital (TIC)

A

A measure of total firm value, sometimes also known as market value of invested capital - includes the market value of equity and debt, but does not deduct cash and investments.

36
Q

Unexpected Earnings (Earnings Surprise)

A

UE = EPS - E(EPS)

37
Q

Method of Average ROE P/E

A

EPS = Avg ROE x Est. BV

P/E = Price/EPS

38
Q

Earnings Yield

A

The inverse of P/E, the Earnings Yield helps compare companies with negative earnings. The lower the ratio, the richer the valuation.

39
Q

Residual Income

A

Net income less a charge for common shareholders’ opportunity cost in generating net income. It is the residual remaining income after considering the costs of all of a company’s capital. The residual income modem analyzes the intrinsic value of equity as the sum of 1) current book value of equity 2) the present value of expected future residual income.

40
Q

Capital Charge

A

Takes the perspective of all providers of capital.

Equity capital x after-tax cost of debt + equity capital x cost of equity

41
Q

Economic Value Add (EVA)

A

EVA = NOPAT - (C% x TC)

C% = cost of capital
TC = Total Capital
42
Q

Tobin’s Q

A

Tobin’s q = market value of debt and equity/replacement cost of total assets

43
Q

Continuing Residual Income

A

Residual income after the forecast horizon. Should be based on the ability to explicitly forecast inputs in the model.

44
Q

Private Company Valuation Approaches

A

1) Income Approach
2) Market Approach
3) Asset-Based Approach

45
Q

Capitalized Income Method

A

Values a private company by using a single representative estimate of economic benefits and dividing that by an appropriate capitalization rate to derive an indication of value.

46
Q

Excess Earnings Method (EEM)

A

Involves estimating the earnings remaining after deducting amounts that reflect the required returns to working capital and fixed assets.

47
Q

Discount for Lack of Control

A

DLOC = 1 - [1/(1 + Control Premium)]

48
Q

Fama French Model

A

The idea that small-cap stocks might generate higher returns in the long run. The Fama French model addresses perceived weaknesses in the CAPM with multifactors in the model. Excess return on the market, excess return small cap stocks, and excess return on low book to market stocks.

49

51
Q

Justified Price Multiple

A

The estimated fair value of that multiple, which can be justified on the basis of the method of comparables or the method of forecasted fundamentals.

52
Q

Look-Ahead Bias

A

The use of information that was not contemporaneously available in computing a quantity.

53
Q

Justified Price Multiple

A

The estimated fair value of that multiple, which can be justified on the basis of the method of comparables or the method of forecasted fundamentals.

54
Q

Look-Ahead Bias

A

The use of information that was not contemporaneously available in computing a quantity.

55
Q
