- Justification of the methods used and rejected
▪ This is the economic value of an entity
▪ If we compare to an accounting balance sheet, it is the asset, but in "economic" value
▪ Several methods can be used as well as approaches
▪ EV serves as the basis for all transactions and allows targets, companies, to be compared with each other
▪ The EV is used as the basis for calculating the Market Value of Equity ("MVE")
▪ A range of EVs is always calculated (never a single one), but the manager positions himself on a value included in this range
- It is a determination of the EV on the basis of a business plan which is drawn up by the management
- This should enable forecast cash flows to be determined
- On the basis of this document, the assessor carries out :
- A discounting of these flows by determining one or more rates
- Determines several EVs by making "sensitivity tables" ▪ Takes a look at the different EVs
- Explains the limitations of the model
- Proposes a range of values
- Documents its entire approach in a report
- Proposes alternative approaches
- It is a determination of the EV on the basis of a business plan which is drawn up by the management
- Uncertainties related to the assumptions
- EBITDA structure
- The problem of terminal value
- Determining a range of values
- It is a method recognised by the wider investment community
- Rational (EV is the cash flow from the investment)
- Practised on a permanent basis
- Assumptions generally documented
- Difficulties
- Lack of positive results most of the time
- Little history of financial statements
- Often risky business models
- Analysis possibilities
- Reasoning based on positive EBITDA from the business plan (even if remote)
- VC Approach
- Multiple non-financial value drivers?
- Need to find positive comparables from the sector (use of databases)
- Determine a multiple (or multiples) applied to an aggregate (e.g. turnover) to give a first value
- Based on a target rate of return on investment (tables or objective), an EV at date (Pre-Money EV) is determined
- This will allow several pieces of information to be determined (in particular, depending on the amount invested, the percentage held by Post Money)
- Challenges: Target Rate of Return & Comparables (usually weighted by VC)
- Advantage: Link to market data - No VT
