Valuation GTSF Investments Committee4  What is valuation?  Who uses valuation?  What are some of the most common metrics used when valuing a company?  What are some of the different ways to value a company?

Valuation Basics GTSF Investments Committee5  Valuation is the procedure of calculating the worth of an asset, security, company, etc...  Valuation is one of the primary tasks done by investment banks  Being good at providing valuations for companies is an invaluable skill set used in all facets of finance  There are 4 main ways to value companies  Comparable Companies (“comps”)  Precedent Transaction (“M&A comps”)  Discounted Cash Flow Modeling (“DCF”) - video  Leverage Buyout Modeling (“LBOs”)

Commonly Used Metrics GTSF Investments Committee6  One way to value a company is to compare it to its peers (Comparable Multiples Method)  There are a multitude of multiples used  The most common are:  Enterprise Value (EV) /EBITDA  Price/ Book Value  Price/Earnings  PEG  EV/Sales  Price/Sales

Enterprise Value (EV) GTSF Investments Committee7  Value of the entire firm including both debt and equity  EV = Market Value of Equity + Debt + Preferred Stock + Minority Interest - Cash  Why take out cash?  Cash is already counted in market value in equity (in theory)  You can use cash to pay down debt or pay a dividend  You would not buy a company for its cash

EBITDA GTSF Investments Committee8  Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization  Good way to evaluate a company’s profitability  EBITDA = Revenues - Expenses (excluding taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization)  Represents the earnings that can effectively service debt  Eliminates the effects of financing and accounting decisions  Non-GAAP metric

Free Cash Flow (FCF) GTSF Investments Committee9  Simply the amount of free cash a company has  Capital Expenditures less Operating Cash flow  Formula:  Working Capital = Current assets - Current liabilities  Why do we use (1-Tax Rate)?  Why subtract Change in NWC and Capital Expenditures?

Important Ratios GTSF Investments Committee10  EV/EBITDA  P/B  P/E  PEG  P/S  Current Ratio  Debt/Equity  Quick Ratio  Interest Coverage Ratio  Operating Margin  Profit Margin  ROE  ROA  ROIC

EV/EBITDA GTSF Investments Committee11  Essentially “at what multiple of earnings is the entire company valued at”  EV/EBITDA is the most common metric used when doing comparable multiple analysis  Varies greatly with industry  If the industry average EV/EBITDA multiple is 6X and your company has an EBITDA of $100MM what is your company’s EV?  Low ratio – company might be __________?  Higher EV/EBITDA ratio in ____ growth industries (like technology/biotech)

Price/Book (P/B) GTSF Investments Committee12  “Compares the cost of a stock to the value of the company if it was broken up and sold today”  P/B = Stock Price ÷ Book Value  Book Value = Total assets - Intangible assets - Liabilities  Book value is the theoretical value of assets that would be recovered in the event of a total firm liquidation  Assume  Total assets = 10MM  Intangible assets = 1MM  Liabilities = 6MM  Stock Price = $21  Outstanding shares = 1MM  Price/Book?

Price/Earnings (P/E) GTSF Investments Committee13  The PE ratio of a firm is the multiple at which the stock price is trading as compared to earnings per share (EPS)  “How much do you pay per dollar of earnings?”  P/E ratio = Current stock price ÷ EPS  Stock Price  EPS  P/E - ?  What do you do if you have negative EPS?  Trailing P/E vs. Forward P/E

PEG GTSF Investments Committee14  Price to Earnings to Growth  P/E ratio divided by the growth of the earnings over a specified period of time  (P/E) ÷ (EPS Growth)  Can be in the past or the future (trailing vs. forward)  Expected growth is almost impossible to forecast accurately  PEG takes into account the growth of earnings and helps to give a more complete picture of relative price  If our firm’s P/E was 15 and our annual EPS growth rate was 20% what is our PEG?

Price/Sales and EV/Sales GTSF Investments Committee15  Price/Sales (ttm)  Share Price ÷ Revenue per share  EV/Sales  Enterprise Value ÷ Annual Sales  “How much it costs to buy the company’s sales”  Takes into consideration debt, while P/S does not  If GOOG generated $32MM in sales has a market cap of $640MM, debt of $17MM and cash on hand of $20MM what are the P/S and EV/Sales ratios?  Name 2 companies for which Price/Sales is a good metric and 2 for which it is bad

Other Ratios GTSF Investments Committee16  Current Ratio  Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities  What do we want? High/Low?  Debt/Equity  Total Liabilities ÷ Shareholders Equity  Indicates proportion of equity and debt the company is using to finance its assets  Quick Ratio  (Current assets – Inventories) ÷ Current Liabilities  Indicator of a company’s short-term liquidity. Dollar amount of liquid assets available for each dollar of current liabilities

Other Ratios GTSF Investments Committee17  Valuation ratios are used to determine how a stock is valued in the marketplace  All the metrics described depend on the current price of the stock or the current market capitalization of the company  These ratios are often swayed by market dynamics which are not always accurate  Efficiency ratios help us to simply look at the effectiveness of the company without the market’s interference

Efficiency Ratios GTSF Investments Committee18  Allow investors to see how effectively a firm is using its resources  The most common are;  Operating Margin  Profit Margin  Return on Equity  Return on Assets  Return on Invested Capital

Operating and Profit Margin GTSF Investments Committee19  Allow investors to see what percentage of each dollar made translates to the company’s bottom line  Operating Margin  Operating Income ÷ Net Sales  Gives an idea of how well management has been at generating income from the operation of the business  “How much a company makes on each dollar of sales”  Operating Income includes all revenues, not just sales  Profit Margin  Net income ÷ Sales  “How much out of every dollar of sales a company actually keeps in earnings”

Income Statement GTSF Investments Committee20

ROE and ROA GTSF Investments Committee21  ROE = “Return on Equity”  Net Income ÷ Shareholders Equity  “How much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested”  ROA = “Return on Assets”  Net Income ÷ Total Assets  “How efficient management is at using its assets to generate earnings”

ROIC (Return on Invested Capital) GTSF Investments Committee22  (Net income – Dividends) ÷ Total Capital  “How well capital is being used to generate profits”  Use the balance sheet and income statements on the next slides to calculate Return on Equity, Assets and Invested Capital
