Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers & Acquisitions Chepakovich valuation model 1 Chepakovich valuation model The Chepakovich valuation model uses the discounted cash flow valuation approach. It was first developed by Alexander Chepakovich in 2000 and perfected in subsequent years. The model was originally designed for valuation of “growth stocks” (ordinary/common shares of companies experiencing high revenue growth rates) and is successfully applied to valuation of high-tech companies, even those that do not generate profit yet. At the same time, it is a general valuation model and can also be applied to no-growth or negative growth companies. In a limiting case, when there is no growth in revenues, the model yields similar (but not the same) valuation result as a regular discounted cash flow to equity model. The key distinguishing feature of the Chepakovich valuation model is separate forecasting of fixed (or quasi-fixed) and variable expenses for the valuated company. The model assumes that fixed expenses will only change at the rate of inflation or other predetermined rate of escalation, while variable expenses are set to be a fixed percentage of revenues (subject to efficiency improvement/degradation in the future – when this can be foreseen). This feature makes possible valuation of start-ups and other high-growth companies on a Example of future financial performance of a currently loss-making but fast-growing fundamental basis, i.e. with company determination of their intrinsic values. Such companies initially have high fixed costs (relative to revenues) and small or negative net income. However, high rate of revenue growth insures that gross profit (defined here as revenues minus variable expenses) will grow rapidly in proportion to fixed expenses. This process will eventually lead the company to predictable and measurable future profitability. Unlike other methods of valuation of loss-making companies, which rely primarily on use of comparable valuation ratios, and, therefore, provide only relative valuation, the Chepakovich valuation model estimates intrinsic (i.e. fundamental) value. Other distinguishing and original features of the Chepakovich valuation model are: • Variable discount rate (depends on time in the future from which cash flow is discounted to the present) to reflect investor’s required rate of return (it is constant for a particular investor) and risk of investment (it is a function of time and riskiness of investment).[1] The base for setting the discount rate is the so-called risk-free rate, i.e. the yield on a corresponding zero-coupon Treasury bond. The riskiness of investment is quantified through use of a risk-rating procedure. • Company’s investments in means of production (it is the sum of tangible and intangible assets needed for a company to produce a certain amount of output – we call it ‘production base’) is set to be a function of the revenue growth (there should be enough production capacity to provide increase in production/revenue). Surprisingly many discounted cash flow (DCF) models used today do not account for additional production capacity need when revenues grow. • Long-term convergence of company’s revenue growth rate to that of GDP.[2] This follows from the fact that combined revenue growth of all companies in an economy is equal to GDP growth and from an assumption that Chepakovich valuation model 2 over- or underperformance (compared to the GDP) by individual companies will be eliminated in the long run (which is usually the case for the vast majority of companies – so vast, indeed, that the incompliant others could be treated as a statistical error). • Valuation is conducted on the premise that change in company’s revenue is attributable only to company’s organic growth rate. This means that historical revenue growth rates are adjusted for effects of acquisitions/divestitures. • Factual cost of stock-based compensation of company’s employees that does not show in the company’s income statement is subtracted from cash flows. It is determined as the difference between the amount the company could have received by selling the shares at market prices and the amount it received from selling shares to employees (the actual process of stock-based compensation could be much more complicated than the one described here, but its economic consequences are still the same). • It is assumed that, subject to availability of the necessary free cash flow, the company’s capital structure (debt-to-equity ratio) will converge to optimal. This would also have an effect on the risk rating of the company and the discount rate. The optimal capital structure is defined as the one at which the sum of the cost of debt (company’s interest payments) and its cost of equity (yield on an alternative investment with the same risk – it is a function of the company’s financial leverage) is at its minimum.

When applied to futures and forex, it focuses on the overall state of the economy, interest rates, production, earnings, and management. When analyzing a stock, futures contract, or currency using fundamental analysis there are two basic approaches one can use; bottom up analysis and top down analysis.[1] The term is used to distinguish such analysis from other types of investment analysis, such as quantitative analysis and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis is performed on historical and present data, but with the goal of making financial forecasts. There are several possible objectives: • to conduct a company stock valuation and predict its probable price evolution, • to make a projection on its business performance, • to evaluate its management and make internal business decisions, • to calculate its credit risk. Two analytical models When the objective of the analysis is to determine what stock to buy and at what price, there are two basic methodologies 1. Fundamental analysis maintains that markets may misprice a security in the short run but that the "correct" price will eventually be reached. Profits can be made by trading the mispriced security and then waiting for the market to recognize its "mistake" and reprice the security. 2. Technical analysis maintains that all information is reflected already in the stock price. Trends 'are your friend' and sentiment changes predate and predict trend changes. Investors' emotional responses to price movements lead to recognizable price chart patterns. Technical analysis does not care what the 'value' of a stock is. Their price predictions are only extrapolations from historical price patterns. Investors can use any or all of these different but somewhat complementary methods for stock picking. For example many fundamental investors use technicals for deciding entry and exit points. Many technical investors use fundamentals to limit their universe of possible stock to 'good' companies. The choice of stock analysis is determined by the investor's belief in the different paradigms for "how the stock market works". See the discussions at efficient-market hypothesis, random walk hypothesis, capital asset pricing model, Fed model Theory of Equity Valuation, Market-based valuation, and Behavioral finance. Fundamental analysis includes: 1. Economic analysis 2. Industry analysis 3. Company analysis On the basis of these three analyses the intrinsic value of the shares are determined. This is considered as the true value of the share. If the intrinsic value is higher than the market price it is recommended to buy the share . If it is equal to market price hold the share and if it is less than the market price sell the shares. Fundamental analysis 2 Use by different portfolio styles Investors may use fundamental analysis within different portfolio management styles. • Buy and hold investors believe that latching onto good businesses allows the investor's asset to grow with the business. Fundamental analysis lets them find 'good' companies, so they lower their risk and probability of wipe-out. • Managers may use fundamental analysis to correctly value 'good' and 'bad' companies. Eventually 'bad' companies' stock goes up and down, creating opportunities for profits. • Managers may also consider the economic cycle in determining whether conditions are 'right' to buy fundamentally suitable companies. • Contrarian investors distinguish "in the short run, the market is a voting machine, not a weighing machine".[2] Fundamental analysis allows you to make your own decision on value,

INTRODUCTION Shareholder wealth maximization is now widely considered to be the main objective of the management of firms. Countless firms have affirmed their commitment to shareholder wealth and several managers have fallen for not giving adequate importance to it. Of the companies that have been most successful at increasing shareholder wealth as measured by consistent improvements in the return from the stocks, an increasingly common factor is their use of the concept of economic profit as a measure of performance. Economic profit or economic value added (EVA) has become a popular tool for managers to measure performance and for guiding investment decisions. Adherents of EVA can be found among several of the world's leading companies. Among banks, Loyds TSB of the UK has used the principle of economic profits to become one of the most valuable banks in the world.

  • Fundamental Analysis and Discounted Free Cash Flow Valuation of Stocks at Macedonian Stock Exchange
    Ivanovska, Nadica, Zoran Ivanovski, and Zoran Narasanov. 2014. Fundamental Analysis and Discounted Free Cash Flow Valuation of Stocks at Macedonian Stock Exchange. UTMS Journal of Economics 5 (1): 11–24. Preliminary communication (accepted February 24, 2014) FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS AND DISCOUNTED FREE CASH FLOW VALUATION OF STOCKS AT MACEDONIAN STOCK EXCHANGE Nadica Ivanovska1 Zoran Ivanovski Zoran Narasanov Abstract: We examine the valuation performance of Discounted Free Cash Flow Model (DFCF) at the Macedonian Stock Exchange (MSE) in order to determine if this model offer significant level of accuracy and relevancy for stock values determination. We find that stock values calculated with DCF model are very close to average market prices which suggests that market prices oscillate near their fundamental values. We can conclude that DFCF models are useful tools for the companies’ enterprise values calculation on long term. The analysis of our results derived from stock valuation with DFCF model as well as comparison with average market stock prices suggest that discounted cash flow model is relatively reliable valuation tool that have to be used for stocks analyses at MSE. Keywords: valuation, securities, free cash flow, equity, stock-exchange. Jel Classification: G1,G12 INTRODUCTION Valuation of an asset can be determined on three ways. First, as the intrinsic value of the asset, based on its capacity to generate cash flows in the future. Second, as a relative value, by examining how the market is pricing similar or comparable assets. Finally, we can value assets with cash flows that are contingent on the occurrence of a specific event as options (Damodaran 2006).

  • Real Options Valuation As a Way to More Accurately Estimate the Required Inputs to DCF
    Northwestern University Kellogg Graduate School of Management Finance 924-A Professor Petersen Real Options Spring 2001 Valuation is at the foundation of almost all finance courses and the intellectual foundation of most valuation methods which we will examine is discounted cashflow. In Finance I you used DCF to value securities and in Finance II you used DCF to value projects. The valuation approach in Futures and Options appeared to be different, but was conceptually very similar. This course is meant to expand your knowledge of valuation – both the intuition of how it should be done as well as the practice of how it is done. Understanding when the two are the same and when they are not can be very valuable. Prerequisites: The prerequisite for this course is Finance II (441)/Turbo (440) and Futures and Options (465). Given the structure of the course, no auditors will be allowed. Course Readings: Course Packet for Finance 924 - Petersen Warning: This is a relatively new course. Thus you should expect that the content and organization of the course will be fluid and may change in real time. I reserve the right to add and alter the course materials during the term. I understand that this makes organization challenging. You need to keep on top of where we are and what requirements are coming. If you are ever unsure, ASK. I will keep you informed of the schedule via the course web page. You should check it each week to see what we will cover the next week and what assignments are due.

  • Uva-F-1274 Methods of Valuation for Mergers And
    Graduate School of Business Administration UVA-F-1274 University of Virginia METHODS OF VALUATION FOR MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS This note addresses the methods used to value companies in a merger and acquisitions (M&A) setting. It provides a detailed description of the discounted cash flow (DCF) approach and reviews other methods of valuation, such as book value, liquidation value, replacement cost, market value, trading multiples of peer firms, and comparable transaction multiples. Discounted Cash Flow Method Overview The discounted cash flow approach in an M&A setting attempts to determine the value of the company (or ‘enterprise’) by computing the present value of cash flows over the life of the company.1 Since a corporation is assumed to have infinite life, the analysis is broken into two parts: a forecast period and a terminal value. In the forecast period, explicit forecasts of free cash flow must be developed that incorporate the economic benefits and costs of the transaction. Ideally, the forecast period should equate with the interval in which the firm enjoys a competitive advantage (i.e., the circumstances where expected returns exceed required returns.) For most circumstances a forecast period of five or ten years is used. The value of the company derived from free cash flows arising after the forecast period is captured by a terminal value. Terminal value is estimated in the last year of the forecast period and capitalizes the present value of all future cash flows beyond the forecast period. The terminal region cash flows are projected under a steady state assumption that the firm enjoys no opportunities for abnormal growth or that expected returns equal required returns in this interval.
