How to Value Brands Correctly? a Case Study on Adidas How to value brands correctly? A case study on adidas Charlotte Carpentier 28659 Under the supervision of Patrick Legland June 2014 Abstract Brands are both seen as the most strategic assets of many firms, and the least identifiable when looking at financial statements, due to their absence from balance sheet (in case of non-acquisition). The main reason for that is that their valuation leads to high discrepancies depending on the valuator, the method used and the valuation date. The objective of this study is to gather and classify the main brand valuation methods used by both academics and practitioners, before applying them to the practical case of adidas in order to isolate the one leading to apparently most accurate results compared to benchmark valuations from third parties. Based on the study of adidas, we noted that even if the methods lead to very diverse results, the determination of a valuation range is still feasible to get a first idea of brand value. The methods leading to the most consensual results for the adidas case were the royalty relief approach and the demand driver approach, which are the ones mostly used by practitioners as stated by Salinas (2009). The attributes of methods leading to reasonable values seem to be having a mixed approach (both market-based and income-based), and being simple i.e. requiring neither many hypotheses nor deep delving into details. Nevertheless, the attribution of a precise figure is still difficult to rationalise, and mostly based on negotiation features or valuator’s perception of the brand. 2 Table of contents Abstract ..................................................................................................................................... 2 Introduction .............................................................................................................................. 5 I – A first step ........................................................................................................................... 6 1.

(Nasdaq: ICON) (“Iconix” or the “Company”), today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its interest in the Peanuts and Strawberry Shortcake brands to DHX Media Ltd. for $345 million in cash, subject to a customary working capital adjustment. John Haugh, Chief Executive Officer of Iconix, said, “One of our strategic objectives has been to de-lever and strengthen our balance sheet. This sale aligns with this objective. As we monetize the value we have created in our entertainment business, we can reduce our debt and pay down a term loan that is expensive and highly restrictive. We are now focused on a second strategic objective of driving profitable revenue growth by focusing our resources on the businesses where we have a leadership position- fashion, active and home. Peanuts and Strawberry Shortcake are iconic entertainment properties, and we are proud of the contributions Iconix has made to these brands. Specifically with Peanuts, in partnership with the Schulz family, we have produced the first-ever feature film, delivered countless worldwide collaborations and significantly grown the worldwide presence of Peanuts.” The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this transaction plus additional cash on the balance sheet to pay down approximately $362 million of debt.

  • A Taxonomy of Brand Valuation Methodologies: How Different Types of Methodologies Can Help to Answer Different Types of Questions
    A Taxonomy of Brand Valuation Methodologies: How different types of methodologies can help to answer different types of questions Gabriela Salinas, Global Brand Manager, Deloitte and Tim Ambler, Senior Fellow, London Business School Abstract Brands can be valued using a variety of techniques. Like any tool, each technique may be suitable for some purposes and not for others. This paper classifies the methodologies according to the approach and premises they adopt and suitability for different types of applications. We also indicate flaws in methodologies either in general or for particular purposes. Classification is complicated by specialist firms seeking to differentiate methodologies (“proprietary models”) for their own marketing purposes. Much of this differentiation is little more than re-labeling. The 24 methods of brand valuation, and 52 specialist providers, garnered from the literature represent possibly hundreds of commercial and academic approaches by the multitude of providers around the world. After removing those that do not appear to be used in practice we were left with 18 practical methods which we analyze and classify. This taxonomy is intended as a guide to current and potential users of brand valuation through the jungle that the proliferation of proprietary brand valuation techniques has created. May 14, 2008 Contact: [email protected], [email protected] © 2008 Gabriela Salinas and Tim Ambler A Taxonomy of Brand Valuation Methodologies: How different types of methodologies can help to answer different types of questions Since the 1980s, marketers have been under increasing pressure for “accountability” in two senses: being responsible for the results from marketing activity and reporting those results using the language of finance.

  • Conceptualization of Perceived Value Pricing in Strategic Marketing
    Journal of Management and Marketing Research Conceptualization of perceived value pricing in strategic marketing Nagasimha Balakrishna Kanagal Indian Institute of Management Bangalore ABSTRACT Perceived value pricing is an important price setting procedure. Perceived value pricing indicates the importance of providing benefits and functionalities to the consumer and the simultaneous need to price it effectively so that the firm can take appropriate value. Perceived value pricing is effective in pricing of premium goods and services with a large intangible component. Perceived value pricing are emerging as a third alternative to skim pricing and penetration pricing strategies. The study conceptualizes the construct of perceived value price, examines methods to build perceived value, discusses issues in management of perceived value and lays out implications for pricing strategists through an empirical study that suggests ‘money for value’ is acceptable to the consumer. Keywords: Consumer perceived value, marketer judged offered value, money for value, economic value, differential value, monetary value, consumer surplus. Conceptualization of Perceived Value, Page 1 Journal of Management and Marketing Research INTRODUCTION Perceived value pricing is an important price setting procedure. Perceived value pricing indicates the importance of providing benefits and functionalities to the consumer and the simultaneous need to price it effectively so that the firm can take appropriate value. Perceived value pricing is effective in pricing of premium goods and services with a large intangible component. Other product categories include innovations, high image goods, and high quality goods. An example in case is a one year warranty versus a lifetime warranty whose economic values and psychological values are both different.
