FCFF Vs. FCFE
4
?
In FCFE, value of equity is obtained by discounting cash flows to equity (cash flows after meeting all expenses, tax, interest and principal payments) at the cost of equity.
?
In FCFF, value of firm is obtained by discounting cash flows to firm (cash flows after meeting all operating expenses and taxes, but prior to debt payments) at the weighted average cost of capital.

?
Horizon period and Residual value
?
?
Horizon period at least for about 3-5 years
Basic criteria – achieve stage of stable growth
?
If industry is passing through rough phase – horizon period should cover a period till rationalization is reached
?
For cyclical businesses – cover at least one full business cycle

Can also be derived as Reinvestment rate X Return on Invested Capital (‘ROIC’) Perpetuity growth rate ?

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
D (D + E) x Kd x (1 - t) + E (D + E) x Ke
WACC =
D = Debt T = Income tax rate
E = Equity Kd = Pre–tax cost

Cost of Equity
11
?
In CAPM Method, all the market risk is captured in the beta, measured relative to a market portfolio, which atleast in theory should include all traded assets in the market place held in proportion to their market value. Ke = (Rf + (? x Erp)) Where , Ke = Cost of Equity Rf = Risk free return Erp = Equity risk premium ? = Beta
Valuation using DCF Methodology August 1, 2009
Risk Free Rate
12
?
Risk Free Rate : It is the rate where investor knows the expected return with certainity. For an investment to be risk free two conditions have to be met
a) No default risk (b) No uncertainty about reinvestment rates
Valuation using DCF Methodology
August 1, 2009
Risk Premium
13
?
Risk Premium : It measures the extra return that would be demanded by investors for shifting their money from a riskless investment to an average risk investment There are 3 ways of estimating risk premium in CAPM.
? ? ?
Large investors can be surveyed about their expectations for the future The actual premiums earned over a past period can be obtained from historical data The implied premium can be extracted from current market data
Valuation using DCF Methodology August 1, 2009
Beta
14
?
Beta : A measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole In CAPM, the beta of the asset has to be estimated relative to the market portfolio.
There are 3 approaches estimating these parameters:
?
available
for
Historic Market Betas
?
?
Fundamental Betas
Accounting Betas
Valuation using DCF Methodology August 1, 2009
Historical Market Beta
15
?
Historical Market Betas : This is the conventional approach for estimating betas.
Beta of an asset = Covariance of asset with market portfolio / Variance of the market Portfolio
Valuation using DCF Methodology
August 1, 2009
Fundamental Beta
16
?
Fundamental Beta : The beta for a firm may be estimated from a regression but it is determined by fundamental decisions that the firm has made on (1) What business to be in (2) How much operating leverage to use in business (3) The degree to which the firm uses financial leverage
Valuation using DCF Methodology
August 1, 2009
Accounting Beta
17
?
Accounting Beta : It estimates the market risk parameters from accounting earnings rather than from traded prices. Thus, changes in earnings at a division or a firm, on a quarterly or an annual basis, can be regressed against changes in earnings for the market, in the same periods, to arrive at an estimate of a market beta to use in the CAPM
Valuation using DCF Methodology

Unlevered Beta
18
A type of metric that compares the risk of an unlevered Company to the risk of the market. The unlevered beta is the beta of a company without any debt. Unlevering a beta removes the financial effects from leverage.
The formula to calculate a company's unlevered beta is:
BL
BU= [1+( 1-Tc ) X (D/E)] Where: BL is the firm's beta with leverage. Tc is the corporate tax rate. D/E is the company's debt/equity ratio.
Valuation using DCF Methodology August 1, 2009
Unlevered Cost of Equity
19
?
Unlevered cost of equity : The cost of equity that would result from using an unlevered beta is called the unlevered cost of equity. Unlevered cost of equity = Risk free rate + Unlevered beta x risk premium

Cost of Debt
21
?
Cost of Debt : The cost of debt is the rate at which a
firm can borrow money today and will depend on the
default risk embedded in the firm.
Default risk can be measured using a bond rating or by looking at financial ratios.

? Value ? Value

assets
Valuation using DCF Methodology August 1, 2009
Multiple Approach
25
?
In this approach, the value of firm in a future year is estimated by applying a multiple to the firm’s earning or revenue in that year For instance, a firm with expected revenues of Rs.6 billion ten years from now will have an estimated terminal value in that year of Rs.12 billion if a value to sales multiple of 2 is used. If valuing equity, we use equity multiples such as price earnings ratios to arrive at the terminal value.
Valuation using DCF Methodology August 1, 2009
Stable Growth Approach
26
?
Stable Growth Model: It is assumed that firm has a finite life with constant growth rate. Terminal Value = Cash flow t + 1 (r – g stable)

The Final Value
27
?
Under the FCF to the firm approach - the Value is the summation of ? PV of the FCF to Firm during the horizon period ? PV of the residual value ? PV of the tax benefit on the WDV of the assets, 80IA, 10A/10B, sales tax, etc. beyond the horizon period ? Market value of the investments and other nonoperating/ surplus assets (net of tax)/ surplus cash as at the valuation date ? Adjustment for contingent liabilities/ assets (net of taxes)
