KERING’S VALUATION Maria Anjos Lopes dos Reis Braga Project submitted as partial requirement for the conferral of Master in Finance Supervisor: Prof. Pedro Manuel de Sousa Leite Inácio, ISCTE Business School, Finance Department April 2014 Kering’s Valuation 2014 Resumo O presente projecto tem como objectivo a avaliação da empresa Kering, com vista a chegar a um preço-alvo e fazer uma recomendação de investimento. A Kering é uma empresa multinacional francesa que opera no sector dos bens de luxo e está presente em todo o mundo. A empresa está dividida em duas divisões: a divisão de luxo e a de desporto e estilo de vida, possuindo um portfolio diversificado de marcas bem conhecidas, como a Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, PUMA, entre outras. Nos últimos anos, a Kering tem passado por um processo de reestruturação com a venda de todas as empresas do segmento de retalho, com o objectivo de se tornar num grupo mais coeso, integrado e internacional. Para avaliar a empresa foram escolhidos o Método de Fluxo de Caixa Descontado e o Método dos Múltiplos de Mercado. Para tal, é necessário analisar cuidadosamente os fundamentais da empresa, assim como estimar as principais variáveis. Todas as análises e projecções foram elaboradas com a informação disponível até Dezembro de 2013. Através do desenvolvimento do modelo de avaliação, chegou-se a um valor de € 184.50 por acção, que comparado com o valor de mercado de € 153.65 à data de 31 de Dezembro de 2013, significa que a Kering estava a negociar com um desconto de 20%. Desta forma, a recomendação de investimento seria então de compra da acção.

Kering is a French multinational holding company, with a worldwide presence. The company operates in the luxury goods sector and is divided into two divisions - the Luxury Division and the Sport & Lifestyle Division - having a wide brand portfolio with some well-known brands like Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, PUMA, among others. Through the past years, Kering has been restructuring itself to become a more cohesive, integrated and international Group. In order to see if the company is trading at a premium or at a discount, the company’s fundamentals are deeply evaluated and the main variables are estimated to apply Discounted Cash Flow and Market Multiples Method. The purpose is to reach a price target and to make an investment decision. All the analysis and projections were only prepared with the information available until December 2013. The valuation model points to a value of € 184.50 per share, which compared to the market value of € 153.65, in 31th December 2013, meaning that Kering share was trading at a discount of 20%. Thus, and according to this analysis, the investment recommendation at that time would have been to buy the share.
