Value & Valuation

Value is*An Economic concept;

An Estimate of likely prices to be concluded by the buyer and seller of a good or service

that is available for purchase;

Not a fact.

Valuation is the process of determining the “Economic Worth” of an Asset or

Company under certain assumptions and limiting conditions and subject to the data

available on the valuation date.

Thesis of Value is Premise of value which relates to the assumptions upon which

the valuation is based.

Premise of Value

Going Concern – Value as an ongoing operating business enterprise.

Liquidation – Value when business is terminated . It could be ‘forced’ or ‘orderly’.

While concluding Value, all the methodologies must be considered and then weights applied

as per the facts of the case. In other words, Value conclusion should be based on the

Professional Judgement and Simple Average should best be avoided while concluding

Value.

Need of several valuation methods?

Each has strengths and weaknesses

Different methods useful in different situations

Each gives a different “take” on the value of the company’s stock

Provides a range of valuations instead of point estimates

Helps in Sanity Check

CASH FLOW Investor assign value based on the cash flow they expect to receive in the future - Dividends / distributions - Sale of liquidation proceeds Value of a cash flow stream is a function of - Timing of cash Receipt - Risk associated with the cashflow

ASSETSOperating Assets - Assets used in the operation of the business including working capital, Property, Plant & Equipment & Intangible assets - Valuing of operating assets is generally reflected in the cash flow generated by the businessNon - Operating Assets - Assets not used in the operations including excess cash balances, and assets held for investment purposes, such as vacant land & Securities - Investors generally do not give much value to such assets and Structure modification may be necessary

Choice of Valuation Approaches

“Value in Valuation is a question,

and

Your choice of Method is the first step

towards answer”

Applicability of a particular approach depends upon:

On whose behalf? – one buyer vs another buyer, buyer vs seller;

For what purpose? – independent strategic acquisition, group company consolidation, cross

border transaction;

When? – distress situation, industry downturn, boom etc;

Page 18: Duediligencelegalandregulatoryvaluationaspects 131024023201-phpapp02

Choice of Valuation Approaches

• In General, Income Approach is preferred;The dominance of profits for valuation of share was emphasised in “McCathies case”

(Taxation, 69 CLR 1) where it was said that “the real value of shares in a company will depend more on

the profits which the company has been making and should be capable of making, having regard to

the nature of its business, than upon the amount which the shares would realise on liquidation”.

 

This was also re-iterated by the Indian Courts in Commissioner of Wealth Tax v. Mahadeo Jalan’s

case (S.C.) (86 ITR 621) and Additional Commissioner of Gift Tax v. Kusumben D. Mahadevia (S.C.)

(122 ITR 38).

• However, Asset Approach is preferred in case of Asset heavy companies

and on liquidation;

•Market Approach is preferred in case of listed entity and to evaluate the

value of unlisted company by comparing it with its listed peers;

Company Specific Factors

• Management, Promoter Group

Industry Risk Analysis

• Good vs. Difficult industry• Porter’s 5 forces• Industry life cycle (growth)• Industry cyclicality (earnings quality)• Leading indicators• Competition (ROIC)• Pricing dynamics; Demand vs. Supply (ROIC)• Changing business environments• Regulation (ROIC)• Product characteristics (earnings quality)• Capital intensity and cost base (ROIC)• Event risk

Following factors are required to

be considered:

Page 21: Duediligencelegalandregulatoryvaluationaspects 131024023201-phpapp02

Rule of Thumb

A rule of thumb or benchmark indicator is used as a

reasonableness check against the values determined by the

use of other valuation approaches.

FDI VALUATION

• Notification No. FEMA 20/2000-RB dated May 3, 2000, as amended from time to time deals

with Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of Security by a Person Resident Outside

India) Regulations, 2000.

•In terms of Schedule 1 of the Notification, an Indian company may issue equity

shares/compulsorily convertible preference shares and compulsorily convertible debentures

(equity instruments) to a person resident outside India under the FDI policy, subject to inter alia,

compliance with the pricing guidelines.

•The price/ conversion formula of convertible capital instruments should be determined upfront

at the time of issue of the instruments.

Particulars Valuation before April 21, 2010 Valuation after April 21, 2010Guidelines in Force CCI Guidelines In case of FDI Transactions:

Listed Company: Market Value as per SEBI Preferential Allotment Guidelines

Unlisted Company: DFCF

In case of ODI Transactions:No method has been prescribed

Methods Prescribed Net Assets Value (NAV)Profit Earning Capacity Value(PECV)Market Value (in case of Listed Company)

Discount 15% Discount has been prescribed on account of Lack of Marketability

No such Discount has been prescribed

Historical / Futuristic It is based on Historical Values It is based on Future Projections

Possibility of variation in Value Conclusion

As valuation is more Formulae based, final values came standardized

As valuation is more dependent on Assumptions and choice of factors like Growth Rate, Cost of Capital etc, value conclusion may vary significantly.

Discounted Free Cash Flow Method (DFCF)

Approaches to FDI Valuation

RBI has prescribed DFCF as the only valuation method in case of FDI (excluding for

initial subscription); but has not provided any guidance on its technical aspects.

Though DFCF is one of the most acceptable Valuation methods used by Business

valuers worldwide; however DFCF for all FDI transactions-excluding for initial

subscription (like minority stake/start up valuation etc) may not yield Fair Value in

line with the Commercial understanding. However Law being such, suitable Logical

adjustments may be necessary on a case to case basis.DFCF expresses the present value of the business as a function of its future cash earnings capacity. In this method, the appraiser estimates the cash flows of any business after all operating expenses, taxes, and necessary investments in working capital and capital expenditure is being met. Valuing equity using the free cash flow to stockholders requires estimating only free cash flow to equity holders, after debt holders have been paid off. 

Page 30: Duediligencelegalandregulatoryvaluationaspects 131024023201-phpapp02

Forward Looking and focuses on cash generation Recognizes Time value of Money Allows operating strategy to be built into a model

Incorporates value of Tangible and Intangible assets Only as accurate as assumptions and projections used

Works best in producing a range of likely values It Represents the Control Value

Major Characteristics of DFCF Valuation

Page 31: Duediligencelegalandregulatoryvaluationaspects 131024023201-phpapp02

DFCF Valuation Process

Understand Business Model Identify Business Cycle Analyze Historical Financial Performance Review Industry and Regulatory Trends Understand Future Growth Plans (including Capex needs) Segregate Business and Other Cash Generating Assets Identify Surplus Assets (assets not utilized for Business say

Land/Investments) Create Business Projections (Profitability statement and Balance Sheets) Discount Business Projections to Present (Explicit Period and Perpetuity) Add Value of Surplus Assets and Subtract Value of Contingent Liabilities

Page 32: Duediligencelegalandregulatoryvaluationaspects 131024023201-phpapp02

Free Cash Flows- Value Trend

Terminal Value is calculated for the Perpetuity period based on the Adjusted last year cash flows of the Projected period.

Page 33: Duediligencelegalandregulatoryvaluationaspects 131024023201-phpapp02

Free cash flows to firm (FCFF) is calculated as

EBITDA

Taxes

Change in Non Cash Working capital

Capital Expenditure

Free Cash Flow to

Firm

Note that an alternate to above is following (FCFE) method in which the value of Equity is directly valued in lieu of the value of Firm. Under this approach, the Interest and Finance charges is also deducted to arrive at the Free Cash Flows. Adjustment is also made for Debt (Inflows and Outflows) over the definite period of Cash Flows and also in Perpetuity workings.

Theoretically, the value conclusion should remain same irrespective of the method followed (FCFF or FCFE), (Provided, assumptions are consistent).

DISCOUNT RATE - COST OF EQUITY

Where:Rf = Risk free rate of return (Generally taken as 10-year Government Bond Yield)B = Beta Value (Sensitivity of the stock returns to market returns)Ke = Cost of EquityRm= Market Rate of Return (Generally taken as Long Term average return of Stock Market)SCRP = Small Company Risk PremiumCSRP= Company specific Risk premium

Mod. CAPM Modelke = Rf + B ( Rm-Rf) + SCRP + CSRP

The Cost of Equity (Ke) is computed by using Modified Capital Asset Pricing

Model (Mod. CAPM)

Cost of Equity calculation

Page 36: Duediligencelegalandregulatoryvaluationaspects 131024023201-phpapp02

PERPETUITY FORMULA– Usually comprises a Large part of Total Value and is sensitive to small

changes

– Capitalizes FCF after definite forecast period as a growing perpetuity;

– Estimate Terminal Value using Terminal Value Multiplier applied on last year cash flows

– Gordon Formula is often used to derive the Terminal CashFlows by applying the last year cash flows as a multiple of the growth rate and discounting factor

– Estimated Terminal Value is then discounted to present day at company’s cost of capital based on the discounting factor of last year projected cash flows

(1 + g)(WACC – g)

IMPORTANT TIP- It is advised to do Sanity check by applying Relative Valuation Multiples to the Terminal Year Financials and also doing Scenario Analysis.

What is a Purchase Price Allocation?-an acquiring entity must allocate the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition;

-The excess of the cost of an acquired entity (including tangible and intangible assets) over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as “Goodwill”;

Purchase Price Allocation

Page 53: Duediligencelegalandregulatoryvaluationaspects 131024023201-phpapp02

Why Purchase Price Allocation?

-Intangible assets recognized separately from goodwill must be valued and amortized for financial reporting purposes, if appropriate

-This may result in better Tax planning for undertaking the transactions of acquisition of assets and liabilities; Under Slump sale transaction, specifically the Intangible Assets can be separately accounted for by the Acquirer and Depreciation also claimed under the provisions of Indian Income Tax Law.

-PPA is used to allocate the Business Value between Tangible and Intangible Assets.

Tricky Issues

Page 55: Duediligencelegalandregulatoryvaluationaspects 131024023201-phpapp02

Discounts

• Discount for Entity Level

Discounts & Premiums come into picture when there exist difference between the

subject being valued and the Methodologies applied. As this can translate control value

to non-control and vise versa , so these should be judiciously applied.

– Impact on entity as a whole

Key Person DiscountDiscount for Contingent LiabilityDiscount for diversified companyDiscount for Holding Company

•Discount for Shareholders Level– Impact on specific ownership interestDiscount Lack of Control (DLOC)Discount Lack of Marketability (DLOM)

•Size of distribution or dividends

•Dispute•Revenue / Earning – Growth / Stability

•Private Company

Tax Payout

•% stake & special rights

•Shareholders Agreement caveats

Global Studies over the years on diversified

companies and holding companies has shown

that companies trade at a discount in the range

of 20%. to 40% each.

DLOM: As per CCI Guidelines, 15%

discount has been prescribed; however

practically DLOM and DLOC depends

upon following factors:

Page 56: Duediligencelegalandregulatoryvaluationaspects 131024023201-phpapp02

Premium

•Control Premium - An investor seeking to acquire control of a company is typically

willing to pay more than the current market price of the

company. Control premium is an amount that a buyer is usually

willing to pay over the fair market value of a publicly traded

company to acquire controlling stake in a company

Research has shown that the control premium in

India has ranged from 20% to 37% in the past few

years.

Page 57: Duediligencelegalandregulatoryvaluationaspects 131024023201-phpapp02

Excess Cash and Non Operating Assets

Excess cash is defined as ‘total cash (in balance

sheet) – operating cash (i.e. minimum required

cash) to sustain operations (working capital) and

manage contingencies

Key Issue: Estimation of Excess Cash ?

Non operating Assets are the Surplus assets which are not used in operations of the business and does not

reflect its value in the operating earnings of the company. Therefore the fair market value of such Assets should

be separately added to the value derived through valuation methodologies to arrive at the value of the company.

One of the solutions is to estimate average

cash/sales or total balance sheet size of the

company’s relevant Industry and then estimate if the

company being valued has cash in excess of the

industry’s average.

What is an asset is not yielding adequate returns ?
