Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE)

Description
A spreadsheet explaining the workings of Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE) Valuation Model for organizations with two periods of growth, high growth initially and then stable growth.

Two-Stage FCFE Discount Model

Two-Stage FCFE Discount Model
This model is designed to value the equity in a firm, with two stages of growth, an initial period of higher growth and a subsequent period of stable growth.
Assumptions 1. The firm is expected to grow at a higher growth rate in the first period. 2. The growth rate will drop at the end of the first period to the stable growth rate. 3. The free cashflow to equity is the correct measure of expected cashflows to stockholders.

The user has to define the following inputs: 1. Length of high growth period 2. Expected growth rate in earnings during the high growth period. 3. Capital Spending, Depreciation and Working Capital needs during the high growth period. 4. Expected growth rate in earnings during the stable growth period. 5. Inputs for the cost of equity.

Inputs to the model Current Earnings per share = Current Dividends per share = Current Capital Spending/sh = Current Depreciation / share = Current Revenues/ share = Working Capital/ share = Chg. Working Capital/share = $4.00 $0.25 $3.70 $1.70 $20.00 $8.00 $1.00 (in currency) (in currency) (in currency) (in currency) (in currency)

Enter length of extraordinary growth period =

(in years)

Do you want to enter cost of equity directly? If yes, enter the cost of equity = If no, enter the inputs to the cost of equity Beta of the stock = Riskfree rate= Risk Premium= 1.3 7.00% 5.50%

No

(Yes or No) (in percent)

Earnings Inputs Do you want to use the historical growth rate? If yes, enter EPS from five years ago = Yes $0.49 (Yes or No) (in currency)

Do you have an outside estimate of growth ? If yes, enter the estimated growth:

Yes 19.00%

(Yes or No) (in percent)

Do you want to calculate the growth rate from fundamentals? If yes, enter the following inputs: Net Income Currently = Interest Expense Currently = Book Value of Debt = Book Value of Equity = Tax Rate on Income= $1,077.00 $53.85 $600.00 $5,445.00 36.00% Last year $550.00 $5,130.00

The following will be the inputs to the fundamental growth formulation:

ROC = Retention =

19.57% 93.75%

D/E = Interest Rate=

11.02% 8.98%

(in percent) (in percent) No (Yes or No)

Do you want to change any of these inputs for the high growth period? If yes, specify the values for these inputs (Please enter all variables) ROC = Retention = 19.57% 93.75% D/E = Interest Rate= 11.02% 8.98%

(in percent) (in percent)

Specify weights to be assigned to each of these growth rates: Historical Growth Rate = Outside Prediction of Growth = Fundamental Estimate of Growth = 10.00% 40.00% 50.00% (in percent) (in percent) (in percent)

Enter growth rate in stable growth period?

6.00%

(in percent)

Beta Will the beta to change in the stable period? If yes, enter the beta for stable period = Yes 1.1 (Yes or No)

Capital Spending, Depreciation & Working Capital Do you want all these items to grow at the same rate as earnings ? If not, enter the growth rates for each of the following items: Capital Spending Depreciation High Growth Stable Growth 20% Do not enter 20% Do not enter Revenues 18% 6% (in percent) (in percent) No (Yes or No)

Do you want to keep the current fraction of working capital to revenues? Specify working capital as a percent of revenues: 40%

Yes (in percent)

(Yes or No)

Return on equity in stable growth period If no, enter capital expenditures as % of depreciation in stable growth No Yes 12% 150% (in percent) (Yes or No)
