Valuation is not a science; more of an art Valuation varies with purpose 11 Valuation is Time sensitive

VALUATION CONCEPT (cont.)

arrive at absolute values of the shares of the companies, but their relative values to facilitate determination of the exchange ratio

POINTS TO BE KEPT IN MIND
? Purpose of transaction ? History and nature of business. ? Economic outlook for the Company and the Industry in which ? ? ? ? ?

it operates. Transaction history Eg: Prior Sale of the firm?s equity Financial condition of the Company Intangibles such as goodwill, patents, etc… Market Value of other firms which are traded actively in the free & open market Decisions of Indian Courts in the past –
It is fair to use combination of three well known methods - asset value, yield value & market value {Hindustan Lever Employees ‘ Union Vs. HLL (1995) 83 Com. Case 30 AIR 1995 SC 470}

19

NET ASSET METHOD
? Based on historical cost or replacement value or

realisable value considered ? Important where value of company is derived substantially from value of its assets ? Asset backing is substantially under utilised and no prospects of improving profitability

20

NET ASSET METHOD (cont.)
The Value as per Net Assets Method is arrived as follows:
Net Assets Value = Total Assets (excluding Misc. Expenditure & Debit balance of Profit & Loss Account) - Total Liabilities OR

Net Assets Value = Share Capital + Reserves (excluding revaluation reserves) – Misc. Expenditure – Debit Balance of Profit & Loss Account
21

NET ASSET METHOD (cont.)
Situations where Net Assets Method may be used: ? Start up companies (capital intensive in nature) ? Investment Companies ? Companies with no sustainable track record of profits and no prospects of earning profits in future ? Manufacturing companies where fixed assets have greater relevance for earning revenues ? Companies with no reliable evidence of future profits due to violent fluctuations/disruption of business ? Where there is an intention to liquidate and to realize the assets and distribute the net proceeds
22

NET ASSET METHOD (cont.)
? Assets at historical cost or replacement cost on

valuation date considered

? Intangible Assets - {Brooke Bond Lipton India

Limited (1998) 15 SCL 81 (Cal)} ? Revaluation of Fixed Assets ? Deferred Tax Asset / Liabilities

? Outstanding liabilities deducted

23

NET ASSET METHOD (cont.)
? Following adjustments may be called for: ? Accounting Policies ? Contingent Liabilities ? Auditor?s Qualification ? Sales Tax Deferment Loan ? Investments & Surplus Assets ? Inventory & Debtors ? Contingent Assets ? Preference Shares ? Proposed Preferential Allotment, ESOP, Warrants, etc

24

NET ASSET METHOD (cont.)
STRENGTHS LIMITATIONS

Traditional method Investment companies Capital Intensive Companies Transparent and easy to compute

Service/knowledge based Brand driven companies Intangibles/human resources value not captured Errors/misstatements in financial statements Dependent on accounting policies followed by company Earnings Potential ignored 25

PECV- THREE PARAMETERS
? Earnings Capitalization method / Yield method -

determination of 3 parameters :

? firstly; the “future maintainable profits” ? secondly; the “appropriate tax rate” ? thirdly; the “Capitalization rate / Price Earning

Multiple”.

? Value determined by capitalizing future

Maintainable PAT by the capitalization rate and making adjustments for Non Operating Assets & Contingent Liabilities
26

PECV- THREE PARAMETERS
? Can be based on past performance or projections
? Non-recurring and extraordinary items to be

removed ? Profits of various years averaged ? Weightages may be assigned; generally current years profit assigned highest weight ? Maintainable profit after tax arrived at after applying effective tax rate

27

ADJUSTMENTS TO PECV
? Elimination of Material non-recurring items ? Elimination of abnormal or exceptional capital

profits/losses or receipt or expense ? Matters suggested by Notes to Accounts or by qualification in the Auditor?s Report ? Adjustment for any inconsistencies in accounting policies ? Adjustment on account of VRS ? Surplus Assets ? Contingent Liabilities ? Other Adjustments
28

PECV
STRENGTHS Traditional method Knowledge based companies Brand Driven companies Best used for a matured company Most widely - quoted valuation method in equity markets LIMITATIONS Investment/Property company Company in liquidation Ignores time value of money
Based on book earnings, cash generation not considered Dependent on accounting policies followed by company Lack of comparable firms No revenues/Negative earnings 29

DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW
TO BE COVERED IN A

SEPARATE SESSION

30

OTHER EARNING BASED METHODS
? EBITDA multiple: ? Is the ratio of the value of capital employed (Equity + Debt) to EBITDA ? Sales Multiple: ? Compares Enterprise value to Company?s Sales ? Dividend Capitalisation method: ? Dividend paying capacity based on average net income and on average cash flow is capitalised

31

MARKET PRICE
? Applicable only to a listed entity ? Thinly Traded/Dormant Scrip - Low floating stock ? Significant & Unusual Fluctuations in market price ? Evaluates the value on the basis of prices

quoted on the stock exchange ? Average of market prices- 6 months preferred ? Regulatory bodies have often considered market value as important basis– Preferential allotment, Buyback, Takeover Code

32

MARKET COMPARABLE
? Generally, applied in case of unlisted entities
? Estimates value by relating the same to underlying

elements of similar companies or for past years ? Based on market multiples of „comparable companies?
? Earnings/Revenue Multiples ? Book Value Multiples

? Industry Specific Multiples
? Multiples from Recent M&A Transactions

Generally used to cross verify values derived as per other methods

MARKET COMPARABLE
STRENGTHS
Easy to understand and quick to complete Involves few explicit assumptions Basic data for publicly traded entities readily available Easy to explain and present to others

LIMITATIONS
May not capture Intrinsic value Value gets affected by value of Peers Difficulty in identifying comparable companies Short term volatility in markets
35

FAIR VALUE

36

FAIR VALUE
? Though different values arrived under various

methods, necessary to arrive at a single value ? Assigning weights to values under the various methods ? Appropriate to assign higher weight to values determined under “income” approach and “market” approach vis-a-vis “underlying asset” approach

“Feel the deal”
37

EXCHANGE RATIO
? The Exchange Ratio is simply the number of

Transferee Co.?s shares that are to be issued to the shareholders of Transferor Co. as consideration for the merger/sale
? Depends upon the relative valuation of the

Transferor and Transferee Companies

? Introduction
? Purpose of Valuation ? Key Financials ? Methodology of Valuation ? Basis of Valuation ? Valuation Workings ? Fair Value ? Limitations/Disclaimer

46

CONCLUSION
? Of late, valuations have been soft targets for

mergers of listed companies ? Valuer to keep in mind fairness to all stakeholders ? Instances of minority shareholders delaying the merger process ? Balance needs to be achieved through transparency, fairness and best Corporate Governance practices

47

DCA GUIDELINES
? Constitution of Expert Group for Valuation

Guidelines ? Recommendatory in Nature, not yet Compulsory. ? Registration of Valuers : Qualification , Code of Conduct ? Covers Companies based on its size or nature ? Joint valuers for merger of listed Companies ? Form of Valuation Report ? Penal Action for defaulters ? Peer Review

CCI GUIDELINES
? Pre 1992, pricing of capital issues controlled by the Controller of Capital Issues (CCI) – "Guidelines for Valuation of Equity Shares of Companies and the Business and net assets of Branches" issued by

Ministry of Finance ? Presently limited application – FEMA Regulations for transfer of shares by residents to persons resident outside India ? Based on an estimate of "fair value" and not on "prevailing market price“ ? Fair Value – Average of NAV, PECV & MP (for Listed 49 Co)

CASE LAWS
It is fair to use combination of three well known methods - asset value,

yield value & market value

?Hindustan Lever Employees „ Union Vs.

HLL (1995) 83 Com. Case 30 SC ?Hindustan Ciba Giegy 14 SCL 115

Valuation job must be entrusted to people who know the Company rather than giving to outsiders who will start from scratch ?Consolidated Coffee V/s Arun Kumar Agrawal (1999) 21 SCL 11 (Kar)
50

CASE LAWS
Exchange Ratio not disturbed by Courts unless objected and found grossly unfair ?Miheer H. Mafatlal Vs. Mafatlal Industries (1996) 87 Com Cases 792 ?Dinesh v. Lakhani Vs. Parke-Davis (India) Ltd.. (2003) 47 SCL 80 (Bom) Brands of a company are part of goodwill, cannot be separately valued ?Brooke Bond Lipton India Limited (1998) 15 SCL 81 (Cal)
