21

performance ?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

Discounted Cash Flow
? Cash is King!!! ? Values a business based on the expected Cash

Flows over a given period of time ? Involves detmernination of discount factor and growth rate for perpetuity ? Value of business is aggregate of discounted value of the cash flows for the explicit period and perpetuity ? Free Cash Flow („FCF”) ?FCF to Firm ?FCF to Equity

23

Discounted Cash Flow
?Steps involved:
? ? ? ? ? ?

Present Value of future free cash flows for explicit period & perpetuity value Appropriate discount factor - Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) Growth Rate for Perpetuity Capitalised Value of Perpetuity Enterprise Value = Aggregate DCF for explicit period + Perpetuity Value Equity Value = Enterprise Value - Debts

Discounted Cash Flow
Factors to be considered for reviewing projections ? Appraisal by Institutions and understanding of the Business ? Industry / Company Analysis ? Installed Capacity ? Capital Expenditure – increasing capacities ? Working Capital requirement ? Existing policy / legal framework ? Lapsing of Patents or copyrights ? Expected policy changes – Budget, EXIM policy etc. ? Taxation structure ? Alternative scenarios / sensitivities

25

Discounted Cash Flow
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
WACC = D (D + E) x Kd (1 - t) + E (D + E) x Ke

D = Debt T = Income tax rate Ke = Cost of equity Where , Ke = Rf + ? x Erp Rf = risk free return

E = Equity Kd = Pre–tax cost of debt

? = Beta

Erp = Equity risk premium
