Overview of Valuation ProjectWelcome to Credit Suisse! In addition to meeting a ton of new people and having fun for the next 10 weeks, we figured it would be helpful for you to return to college your senior year having learned something about what Investment Bankers do
Several analysts, associates, and Vice Presidents from across the division have worked hard to put the following materials together as your “one-stop shop” for banking how to’s
In addition to your group staffing assignments over the next two months, you will also be asked to complete a group valuation project to be submitted by Week 9 of your program. The submission will include the following: A company profile Equity comps and M&A comps DCF valuation Merger consequences analysis
At the end of the summer, August 2nd, your team will be asked to present, in a short session, your analyses and conclusions to a team of bankers
This project will be completed gradually over the course of the summer and we will be holding 4 sessions (1 every week) to cover each of the topics or analysis we will be asking you to do
You will be required to turn in you work for the topic covered each week at the following weeks session (i.e., you will go over profiles in first session and turn them in at the second session) We plan to return your assignment within one week so you can see if you are on the right track and
where you may need to improve

The current parent is the most obvious best owner for the business
The current parent has identified the business as a core business and/or the equity market is in favor of current parent owning the business
Consider the target’s defensive posture vis-a-vis a hostile offer, but remember … the valuation/rationale must be even more compelling to justify an unsolicited approach
Note: It is also important to review the valuation multiples of the publicly-traded Parent Company which owns the “target” subsidiary. If sale proceeds (after tax) imply lower valuation multiples (EBITDA, EBITA and Net Income) than those at which the parent stock is selling, the transaction would be dilutive to overall value and thus would probably be a non-starter as a sale candidate today

Summer Assignment – Equity Comps For your assignment, you are to submit an Equity Comp output page for Knight Ridder AS OF THE
DATE OF THE ACQUISITION (3/10/06)
You must first find comparable companies. For this project, you need only Knight Ridder Corporation and three comparable companies
Include McClatchy Company and New York Times Co as comps and find one comp on your own
Input ABACUS shells for these comps using FactSet, the companies’ financials and Wall Street research to find the following multiples: 2006E and 2007EV/revenue 2006E and 2007E EV/EBITDA 2006E and 2007E EV/EBIT 2006E and 2007E P/E 2006E and 2007E EBITDA margins
When necessary, make sure to calendarize the financials
Make sure to check your output and see if something looks abnormal If so, you’ve likely made a mistake

Helpful Hint #2: The output page converts all currencies to US$. If you are using a foreign company, make sure you input the proper exchange rate in the appropriate section of the shell
Key Takeaways
At the end of this section, you should be able to answer the following: 1. On what basis did you choose your one other comparable? 2. In retrospect, are they “good” comps? Why or why not? 3. How is Knight Ridder trading relative to its peer group? 4. Can you explain its relative valuation? Why does it trade at a premium or discount to its
peers? Think of its relative earnings, margins, market share, size, etc. 5. What does this mean to a potential buyer?

What Are Equity Comps and Why Do We Do Them? A big part of an investment banker’s job is to value companies
More than anything else, clients want to know what their companies areworth – especially relative to their peers
One way to value companies is to infer (or compare) their value based on the public trading values of other companies with similar characteristics
Because not all companies are the same size or have the same capital structure, we need to establish universal metrics that can apply to all companies within a group
These metrics almost always take the form of a ratio or “multiple”, where the numerator is a measure of trading value (Enterprise Value; Market Value) and the denominator is an operating statistic (EBITDA, Net Income)
The most common metrics are Enterprise Value / EBITDA and Market Value / Net Income (or P/E)
The calculation and interpretation of these metrics is a Comparable Company Analysis, or Compco Analysis
Helpful Hint: The right terminology for this analysis is the Comparable Company Analysis, but since bankers like to complicate matters, this analysis is referred to differently by each group. Don’t get confused if you’re asked to do equity comps, compcos, comps, and a comparable company analysis all in one night: They all mean the same thing!

OK, So What Are Enterprise and Equity Value? Enterprise Value is the total dollar value of a business, represented by the sum of all of the
ownership interests in the business
Note: Enterprise Value is sometimes referred to as Adjusted Market Value, Firm Value or (in early-stage biotech) Technology Value
In broad terms, there are two types of ownership interests in a business – Debt and Equity
The public market value of a business’ equity is referred to as its equity value, market value or market capitalization
We calculate a business’ Enterprise Value by summing the public market values of its debt and equity
Caveat: Because the trading value of debt securities is less volatile than equity securities, we typically use the book value of debt rather than the market value to save time
Enterprise Value is an important measure because it makes companies with different capital structures more comparable

OK, So What Are Enterprise and Equity Value?
Enterprise Value = Value of All Business’ Assets = Equity Value + Net Debt(1)
Equity Value = Value of the Shareholders’ Equity = Current Stock Price x Shares Outstanding(2)
(1) Net Debt equals long-term debt + short-term debt + “out of the money” convertible debt + minority interest + preferred stock + capitalized leases – cash and cash equivalents.
(2) The proper way to calculate Equity Value is to use the diluted number of shares outstanding, which includes all “in the money” and exercisable stock options.

Fair Enough, But Help Me With This EBITDA Thing EBITDA is an accounting measure of how much cash flow a business generates from its
operations
EBITDA excludes interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization because these items vary from company to company – for reasons which generally do not impact value – making them harder to compare on a consistent basis
Interest is a function of capital structure
Taxes are a function of incorporation and tax structure
Depreciation is a function of depreciation policy / asset lives
Amortization is a function of how acquisitive a company has been
EBITDA = Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
We place emphasis on Enterprise Value / EBITDA because this metric excludes most variables which do not affect value (or can be easily changed) making companies more comparable for valuation purposes

The relative value of a business is expressed by a “multiple” of its absolute value to its operating results “GE is trading at 22x its 2006E projected EBITDA” – Translation: The ratio of GE’s
Enterprise Value to its forecasted 2006E EBITDA is 22 “Walmart’s 2006E P/E multiple is 18x” – Translation: The ratio of Walmart’s equity value to
its forecasted 2006 net income is 18
Enterprise Value / EBITDA is an important metric because it eliminates non-value impacting variables which otherwise make companies less comparable

2. Diluted Share Calculation / Options and Convertible Debt Schedules In general, Equity Value = Current Stock Price x Basic Shares Outstanding
However, most companies have securities which represent contingent shares – meaning they are not shares today, but can become shares if certain conditions are met – and as a result, we need to make adjustments to basic shares outstanding
The most common of these securities are options / warrants
Options are a price right or option granted to management to purchase their company’s stock at a pre-specified or strike price
Management profits if the market price of the stock exceeds the strike price when they exercise the options. Hence, Management is only likely to exercise his/her options under these circumstances
Options are reported in the 10-K. Companies typically disclose the number of options that are outstanding and exercisable
Exercisable options are vested and can be used to purchase shares today. Exercisable options, NOT outstanding, are relevant for equity comp purposes
The method we use for calculating the impact on basic shares outstanding of options is called the Treasury Stock Method

Scenario: 197.3 million basic shares outstanding 8.2 million exercisable options with a weighted average strike price of $14.02 Current stock price is $17.74.
Translation: 8.2 million options are “in the money,” meaning they are exercisable at a lower price than the current market price. This means the owner of these options has the right to buy stock from the Company at $14.02 and could sell it in today’s market at $17.74. If the owner of the options did this, he would pay the Company $14.02 for each share, sell it in the market for $17.74 and pocket the $3.72 spread.
Treasury Method Calculations:
The treasury stock method assumes the above transaction occurs and that the Company uses the $14.02 they receive to repurchase shares in the market at $17.74, thus:
Basic Shares Outstanding 197.3 Plus: Shares Issued to Options Holder 8.2 205.5 Less: Shares Repurchased with Proceeds (6.5) Diluted Shares Outstanding 199.0

4. Historical / LTM Income StatementStep 1
FactSet downloads the historicals automatically. Check downloaded FactSet information and make changes as required
Fill in Last Fiscal Year column exactly as shown on financial statement (we’ll get to adjustments later)
You will find all the line items on the income statement, except Depreciation & Amortization, which are on typically the cashflow statement
If the latest fiscal year end is the most recent quarter, you can ignore the other two columns
Step 2
Fill in the most current quarter and prior corresponding quarter to get to LTM
Make sure you use cumulative amounts (i.e. if the fiscal year end is 12/31 and you are looking at 9/30 10-Q, use “nine months ended” data)
Step 3
The model automatically calculates LTM for you. Make sure you set CS as the LTM source under settings/options so the output picks up your hard work

Great, But What’s LTM? LTM = Last Twelve Months
Companies report financial results on a quarterly basis (every 3 months)
LTM represents the sum of the last four quarters’ results
LTM is important because it shows what the company’s reported performance has been over the last year (though not necessarily a calendar year)

5. Income Statement Adjustments – Unusual and Non-Recurring ItemsCompanies often report one-time gains or extraordinary charges in accordance with GAAP. As financial analysts, we do not view these charges as related to operations and thus exclude them.
Typical “non-operating” charges include gains/losses on sale of assets, inventory write-downs and restructuring charges
It is important to remember that not all unusual or non-recurring items will be broken out on the financial statements. This is the result of:
Accountants will not always allow companies to break-out certain charges on the financial statements because they are not unusual in the strictest sense
Some companies may not want to highlight that they “made their numbers” as a result of an extraordinary gain
Charges or gains not broken out in the financials can always be found in the MD&A – that’s why you need to read it!

A Note On Calendarizing EstimatesSome companies do not have December 31 fiscal year ends. As a result, the earnings of these companies are not comparable to the earnings of companies with a December 31 year end. Therefore:
EPS estimates must be adjusted to a December year end to make companies with different fiscal year ends comparable on a P/E basis
First Call and I/B/E/S generally download a CYEPS (Calendar Year EPS)
This is intuitively clear when considering two companies – one with a fiscal year ending September 30, 2005 and the other with a fiscal year ending December 31, 2005
The 2005 earnings estimates associated with the “September” company have a higher degree of certainty than the “December” company and thus should receive a higher multiple than an identical “December” company
Our objective is to eliminate this artificial valuation differential by “calendarizing” the estimates
If you choose not to calendarize it, please set calendarization date equal to last fiscal year end
Helpful Hint: In the top right corner of your ABACUS shell, you have the option to calendarize manually (meaning you do all the work) or by formula (meaning FactSet generates the formula for you). In most cases, use the Formula option, but make sure you know how it is deriving its ratio.

The Sanity CheckHow to avoid the dreaded, “This doesn’t look right” response
Take 5 minutes to look at the output when you’re done – the team will wait
Look for outliers in the data
Comparable companies usually have comparable multiples
– If 9 out of 10 companies in your equity comps are trading between 8x and 10x EBITDA, and one is trading at 20x, you might have a problem
– Possible explanations: 1. You’ve made a mistake, 2. This isn’t a good comp, or 3. There is something unusual about this company
– In the unlikely event of Case 3, be sure you can explain the situation
Likewise, the relationship between Enterprise Value / EBITDA and P/E should be roughly the same across companies
– Not always true, but be prepared to explain why it’s not
Check your multiples against research to be sure you’re in the right ballpark
If the business is showing momentum and estimated annual operating statistics are improving over current year figures, your consecutive multiples should be declining (e.g., 16.5x 2005E P/E vs. 14.6x 2006E P/E)
If the multiples are increasing, make sure you understand why

Definitions Equity Value (also referred to as Market Value)
The market value of a company’s equity: (Number of fully diluted shares x current stock price) - option/warrant proceeds
Number of fully diluted shares = “What the market thinks is outstanding”= Primary shares + “in the money” exercisable options/warrants + shares from the conversion of “in the money” convertible debt/convertible preferred stock
What to do with option/warrant proceeds – Subtract from market value
Enterprise Value (also referred to as Adjusted Market Value, or AMV)
The market value of the total enterprise
Market value of equity + net debt
Net Debt =Long-term debt (including current portion) + short-term debt + “out of the money” convertible debt + minority interest + capitalized leases – (cash + equivalents)

Interpreting the Results – A Few General Themes A larger business is viewed as less risky than a smaller business. However, smaller
entrepreneurial companies may get a premium valuation if they are growing quickly
Higher projected earnings growth implies faster stock appreciation potential and will positively impact valuation
Higher leverage implies less financial flexibility and will negatively impact valuation
Higher profitability margins imply better expense controls and better ability to stay price competitive and will positively impact valuation
The higher the economic cyclicality or seasonality of earnings, the riskier the stock
Dividend payments positively impact valuation. Dividends are usually paid by mature companies that need further incentives for investors. High growth companies do not need a dividend to get a high valuation
Higher trading multiples (e.g., price/earnings ratio) make the stock less attractive than a similar company with lower statistics

Comparable Acquisitions Analysis Comparable acquisitions analysis values a company by reference to other sale transactions of similar
businesses. Comparable acquisitions analysis is based on the same multiples as those used in comparable companies analysis
Enterprise Value / EBITDA
Equity Value / Net Income
Enterprise Value / Sales (usually less relevant)
Enterprise Value / EBIT (usually less relevant)
The trick is to find the right comparable transactions and to ferret out the relevant information required
As in comparable company analyses, look for acquisitions of companies with comparable operational and financial characteristics
Recent transactions are a more accurate reflection of the values buyers are currently willing to pay than are acquisitions completed in the distant past. This is because market fundamentals are subject to dramatic change over periods of time. In addition, cyclical businesses will trade at widely different valuations at the peak and ebb of a cycle
Multiples should be based on the latest public financial information available to the Acquiror at the time of the acquisition
Helpful Hint #1: Unlike Equity Comps, which value companies off of forward looking estimates, M&A Comps are historical looking
Helpful Hint #2: Comparable acquisition multiples include consideration which is paid for "control" of the Target. Since this "control premium" is not reflected in the comparable company valuation, comparable acquisition multiples tend to be higher and more indicative of the value of a company in a sale context

Never rely on the multiples of a schedule with an unknown author or with an author who is not sure that the multiples are correct.
Look for recent acquisitions of companies with operational and financial characteristics similar to those of the business being valued.

Helpful Hint: The major difference between a Transaction Value and an Enterprise Value lies in the share count. In any “Change of Control,” all outstanding and “in-the-money” options, regardless of whether they are exercisable or not , get converted at the weighted average strike price. This differs from the Enterprise Value calculation, where only those options that are exercisable get converted

Calculation of Shares Outstanding
Basic Shares Outstanding are taken from the cover of the most recent 10-K or 10-Q.
Option/Warrant Shares are calculated using the treasury method, which assumes that all in-the-money options/warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to repurchase shares at today’s market price
For example:
To calculate equity value, we must always use fully diluted shares outstanding.
Basic Shares Option/Warrant Shares 20 million shares 500,000 in-the-money options $25 is the average strike price $35 is today’s stock price

Helpful Hint: There are two independent concepts regarding option/warrants that tend to confuse people:
1. Outstanding versus Exercisable
2. “In-the-money” versus “out-of-the-money”
In an acquisition context, all outstanding and “in-the-money” options/warrants get converted. In a market value (equity comp) context, only those options that are both exercisable and “in-the-money” convert
Options/warrants “out-of-the-money” never convert

Determination of Purchase Price per Share Cash consideration is straightforward
Common stock issued by an acquiror is valued using the acquiror’s stock price on the day prior to announcement of the transaction
Other securities are valued at market Existing publicly traded securities should be valued at market on the day prior to
announcement New classes of securities should be valued at market value on the first day of trading
Calculating the purchase price per share is not always as simple as it may first appear

Enterprise Value vs. Equity ValueGeneral Overview
There are typically two stakeholders in any firm, the Debt Holders and the Equity Holders. The concept of Enterprise Value contemplates that the earnings of the Company are allocated to both the Debt Holders (through interest payments) and the Equity Holders (through dividends and appreciation in stock price)
When You Use Enterprise Value
Typically, you will use Enterprise Value in circumstances when the financial statistic being utilized is flowing to the debt and equity holders. In general, this means that any financial statistic that is pre-interest expense will use an Enterprise Value concept to determine valuation
When You Use Equity Value
Typically, you will use Equity Value in circumstances when the financial statistic being utilized is flowing only to the equity holders. In general, this means that any financial statistic that is post-interest expense will use an Equity Value concept to determine valuation
Public market valuations tend to use earnings multiples (typically forward earnings multiples) because the investment decision is being made based upon a capital structure that is already in place and cannot be influenced by the common stock holder
When do you use what?

Stock Price Premiums
Often calculated from day prior to announcement of transaction
Often news and rumors of a potential transaction often leak to the market and affect the stock price prior to announcement. We also look at premiums over the stock price at other points in time relative to announcement including: One Day One Week One Month
For public companies, we often look at the percent premium paid to shareholders.

Practical Guidelines1) Obtain SDC run to get general information regarding announcement dates, target/acquirors,
structure of transactions, etc. When doing an SDC run, you typically search by industry SIC codes to find M&A deals for certain industries. If a deal has just been announced, you'll need to get a news run done on the deal
2) Make sure the announcement date is correct by checking Bloomberg
3) Retrieve appropriate documents from SEC. You will need a merger document and 10-K and 10-Q. Make sure that the 10-K and 10-Q are for the target company financials for the LTM period before the announcement date. M&A comps are usually done on an LTM basis. At some point you may have to do an M&A comp on a forward basis, but this is uncommon
4) Read a summary of the terms of the transaction in the merger doc. This is especially true for stock-for-stock transactions. Understand whether the transaction was a stock-for-stock, cash tender offer, asset sale, minority interest investment, etc. This will help you determine the purchase price later on
5) Scan the notes of the 10-K and the 10-Q for any significant items not reflected in the statements. Sometimes the target has been involved in other significant mergers, divestitures, or other consequential events. If so, then read the appropriate 8-K or other document in order to pro forma the financials. Also, do a quick Bloomberg scan to see if anything has happened after the filing of the last financial statement and the announcement of the merger, which could also affect the valuation

Practical Guidelines (Cont’d)6) Once you have checked SDC’s announcement date, enter this and the effective date.
Generally, you can trust SDC on the effective date
7) Get the business description from the Bloomberg or from the 10-K. Be brief but not vague
8) The type of merger doc you get will tell you what the structure of the deal is. If you’ve got a stock deal, then you will have a merger proxy S-4. If you have a cash tender offer, then you will have a 14D-1. Attitude (friendly vs. hostile) can be obtained from SDC. For the type of consideration offered, read the summary of the terms of the merger. You may not always need to show this in your comps
9) Calculate equity value using fully diluted shares outstanding and the offer price per share. This sounds straightforward, but it is often easy to get tripped up here. Things to consider:

Practical Guidelines (Cont’d)a) For a stock-for-stock deal, the price per share is implied. Some terms to get familiar with: The exchange ratio is simply the number of shares of the acquiror being offered for every
share of the target. So if Target Corp. received one share of Acquisition Corp. stock for every five of its shares, then the exchange ratio would be 1/5, or 0.2.
If you read the summary of the terms, you will either get a fixed ratio or a fixed price. In the case of a fixed price, the exchange ratio adjusts to fit the price. For example, if Acquisition Corp. knows it wants to pay $5 per share for Target Corp., then the number of shares it must offer to get to that $5 will depend on its own stock price. If its price were $2 per share, then it would have to offer 2.5 of its own shares, and 2.5 would be the exchange ratio. In other cases, the exchange ratio is fixed. So if Acquisition Corp. offered 2.5 of its shares for every Target share, then the implied value of the Target share is (2.5 x Acquisition Corp. share price). Therefore, the implied price will fluctuate over time. So you can see, either you hold the exchange ratio constant and vary the implied purchase price, or you have a fixed price and vary the exchange ratio
For our purposes, what we care about is what the shares were valued at prior to the announcement. So if the Acquiror’s share price was $10 on the day prior to the announcement and the exchange ratio was 2, then the implied price per Target share would be $20. Often the merger proxy will state that the actual exchange ratio at the closing will depend on “the average closing price of the twenty trading days prior to the three days before the Effective Date...” Ignore it, unless for some reason this language is related to the announcement date somehow, because this is the actual price to be paid. Remember, our job is to determine how the transaction is valued as of the announcement, so just assume that such a price is whatever it was on the day prior to the announcement

Practical Guidelines (Cont’d)b) Check the capitalization of the company to see if they have any convertible securities
(debt and preferred stock). Often such securities have takeover provisions which allow them to convert upon a merger, in which case you want to include their value in the equity purchase price (of course, you will have to back out their value later when calculating the enterprise value)
c) Options. Generally, upon a change of control in a company, the options are bought out by the acquiror. We need to account for this in the equity purchase price, so there are columns which will calculate this value for you. You can get this info either from the 10-K, or if available, from the merger proxy (you generally wont find this info in a 14D-1). Since we will usually not have a detailed breakout of what each individual option is, it is sufficient to take the average exercise price. When doing so, you should never get to a negative purchase price for the options because when the exercise price is less than the offer price, the options are worthless (“out of the money”)
10) Calculate the enterprise value by entering the appropriate debt and cash figures. Remember, include marketable securities in the cash figure, and if you converted some pieces of debt or preferred in calculating them in the equity purchase price, do not include them here. Otherwise, that would be double counting
11) For LTM figures, make sure the numbers you input do not include unusual or nonrecurring items. Simply subtract them out from EBITDA and EBIT. For the net income line, make sure you take these out tax-affected. This means that for a net income calculation you would back out the unusual multiplied by (1-tax rate)

Practical Guidelines (Cont’d)12) There might have been significant events for which you did not pro forma the numbers. Did
the target purchase another company prior to being acquired that is not reflected in the numbers? Did the target sell off assets or spin off a division? Use your judgment. Companies in high-growth industries can trade at high multiples (for example, technology deals can be done at 4x revenues, 15–20x EBITDA). Slow, prodding industries should not have such multiples. Also, if it is a hostile deal, then you may have pretty high multiples since the acquiror has to pay a big premium to get the deal done

Project Knight Ridder’s income statement for five years Make note of what assumptions you use to grow the income statement
From these projections, calculate Knight Ridder’s annual free cash flows Using your equity comps, find the terminal EBITDA multiple and calculate the terminal value
Using your comps, calculate the proper WACC that should be used to discount Knight Ridder’s cash flows Unlever the Beta for each comp and re-lever at Knight Ridder’s leverage
Discount the Free Cash Flows and terminal multiple at the WACC Use the terminal multiple and WACC to calculate an implied perpetuity growth rate Calculate the equity value per share and compare to Knight Ridder’s current price
Create a sensitivity table showing the changes in enterprise value and equity value per share as impacted by the WACC and terminal multiple
Helpful Hint #1: ABACUS has a WACC summary sheet that unlevers and relevers the betas for you. This schedule can be very helpful, but make sure you understand how it works. You will have to input company betas, the risk-free rate, market risk premiums and tax rates manually

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Comparable company and comparable acquisition analyses are often used as confirming
methodologies
Specific asset values are sometimes used if other methodologies are inapplicable
Applications of valuation analysis include:
Acquisitions: How much should we pay to buy the company / division?
Divestitures: How much could we sell our company / division for?
Defense: Is our company undervalued / vulnerable to a raider?
Fairness Opinions: Is the price offered for our company / division fair from a financial point of view?
Public Equity Offerings: For how much could we sell our company / division in the public market?
New Business Presentations: Various applications
Discounted Cash Flow analysis is typically the primary valuation methodology used by CS in M&A and certain capital markets transactions.

Valuation: Enterprise Value Versus Equity Value
We use discounted cash flow analysis to calculate the enterprise value of the firm, which then allows us to calculate its equity value.
Enterprise Value = market value of operating assets
Equity Value = market value of shareholders’ equity
Equity Value = Enterprise Value – Net Debt(1)

DFC Analysis: The Process
Projections Project the operating results and free cash flows of a business over a particular forecast period.
Terminal Value Estimate the terminal value of the business, often by using terminal multiples, at the end of the forecast period.
WACC Use the weighted average cost of capital to determine the appropriate discount rate range.
Present Value Determine a range of values for the enterprise by discounting the projected free cash flows and terminal value to the present.
Adjustments Adjust your valuation for all assets and liabilities not accounted for in the cash flow projections.

Step 1: Projections DCF analysis is an attempt to look at the company’s pure operating results, free and clear of financial leverage,
extraordinary items, discontinued operations, etc.
Many times, we are given financial projections from the management of a particular company; however, there are situations in which we must develop our own forecast for a particular company or business
– It is extremely important to look at the historical performance of a company or business to understand how future cash flows relate to past performance
A company’s unlevered free cash flows represent the cash generating ability of that particular company, without regard to its present or prospective capital structure
– As a result, unlevered free cash flows are projected before subtracting interest and financing expenses or related tax shields
DCF projections should be based on: Historical performance Company projections (when available) Equity research analyst estimates Industry data Common sense
The forecast horizon should be long enough so that the company reaches “steady state” by the end of the forecast period
– Typically, forecasts of 5 - 10 years are used for DCF analyses of maturing or mature firms
The free cash flows from a business can be projected using information about the industry in which the business operates and information specific to the business.

Step 1: Projections – Capital Expenditures Capital expenditures (“Capex”) are the investments necessary to maintain the required capital
intensity, which includes expenditures on new as well as replacement property plant and equipment (“PP&E”)
Base assumptions on:
– Company forecasts
– Industry levels
– Research reports
– Percentage of sales, percentage of PP&E
Build a CapEx schedule breaking down expenditures by type of asset (buildings, machinery and equipment, other assets) and between new and replacement CapEx
– Show beginning and ending PP&E by type of asset
At the end of forecast period, the CapEx level should be in line (equal or slightly higher) with depreciation (i.e., assume that capital intensity is maintained going forward)
For a given year, CapEx is equal to end of year net PP&E less beginning of year net PP&E plus depreciation expense for the year
(1) Net PP&E is equal to gross PP&E less accumulated depreciation.

Step 1: Projections – Working Capital Working capital is defined as the sum of accounts receivable, inventories, pre-paid expenses
and other current assets, less the sum of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities
– This definition can change slightly for companies in different industries Exclude excess cash and marketable securities and short-term debt
– We often use the term “net working capital” to distinguish the investment banking concept from the accountant’s definition of working capital
Build a working capital schedule breaking down the main components of working capital– Estimate balances for the components of working capital as a percentage of sales, cost of
goods sold or other appropriate metrics (or using year-on-year growth rates) for each projection year
– Calculate the net increase/decrease in working capital for each year When forecasting working capital, consider whether the company’s changing mix of business
affects its need for working capital– Any action to squeeze cash from working capital by operating more efficiently (e.g.,
reducing working capital as a percentage of sales, for instance via implementation of a just-in-time inventory system, a change in receivable/payable policy, etc.); whether there is a discernible trend in working capital, and if so, whether the improvement/deterioration will continue or stabilize?
Increases in net working capital are a use of cash and decreases in net working capital are a source of cash
– Remember that increases in assets and decreases in liabilities are uses of cash and decreases in assets and increases in liabilities are sources of cash

Step 1: Projections – Deferred TaxesDeferred Taxes
For valuation purposes, taxes should be stated on a cash basis
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise due to differences between financial (book) accounting and tax accounting
– The most significant differences in book and tax accounting typically arise with regard to the depreciation of assets. In the U.S., assets often can be depreciated on an accelerated basis for tax purposes, lowering taxable income in the current period and thus lowering actual cash taxes paid.
– On a book basis, however, often times the same assets cannot be depreciated on such an accelerated basis, thus taxable income is higher, as are book taxes per the income tax provision. The increase in deferred tax liabilities accounts for the difference between book taxes and the actual taxes paid to the government
Increases in deferred tax liabilities (net of deferred tax assets) are a source of a cash and should be added in calculating free cash flow (and alternatively, decreases in deferred tax liabilities are a use of cash and should be subtracted in calculating free cash flow)

Step 1: Projections – Reality Check Confront sales growth assumptions with underlying market dynamics
– Be skeptical of projected sales growth curves that look show dramatic improvements versus recent actual performance. Does the increase in sales reflect a constant market share in an expanding market? If so, why is the market expanding? Does that assumption agree with industry projections? If it is an expanding market, why will the company be able to maintain a constant market share? Or does the increase reflect a rising market share in a stagnant market? If yes, why? Are some firms leaving the industry? Why?
Check reasonableness of margins– Avoid margin “hockey sticks”. Be clear on the actions and/or events needed to trigger improvements in margins
(or reasons for decreases in margins). Are the margin levels consistent with the structure of competition in the industry? Any risk of new entrants/substitute products that will drive margins down?
Capital Expenditures– Watch out for step-up of production capacity required as sales increase. Is the CapEx level sufficient to support
the forecasted increase in sales? Factor in the impact of industry trends on CapEx (e.g., increased environmental expenditures, technology changes, etc.)
Working Capital– Are inventory and other working capital forecasts consistent with the sales increase? What is the pattern of
accounts receivable collection? How is it practically achieved? Assess bargaining power of customers (receivables terms) and suppliers (account payable terms). Are your assumptions in line with industry standards?
Be Critical About Buyer’s and Seller’s Projections– Use due diligence/access to seller's management to gain in-depth understanding of company's assumptions and
challenge them (if and when appropriate). Where possible, compare the company's past record of actual versus budgeted results
– Add value/ “manage” client's expectations (both on buy and sell sides) by thoroughly understanding the company's market dynamics and competitive positioning
As always, it is important to perform a “Reality Check” on the main components of FCF

Step 1: ProjectionsUnlevered Free Cash Flow
Unlevered Free Cash Flow is the unlevered after-tax cash flow generated by the Company (including the impact of any reinvestment)
Unlevered Free Cash Flow is available to all providers of the Company’s capital, both creditors and shareholders
Unlevered Free Cash Flow is best determined by considering sources and uses of cash:
METHOD 1 METHOD 2 Net Income EBIT

Step 2: Determination of Terminal Value Firm value, based on free cash flows, can be separated into two components:
Since DCF analysis is based on a limited forecast period, a terminal value must be used to capture the value of the business at the end of the projection period
The terminal value is usually added to the free cash flow in the final year of the projections and then discounted back to the valuation date, or it can be discounted separately to the valuation date
The terminal value typically constitutes a substantial portion of the total enterprise value. Critical thinking about prospects of the business, and therefore the terminal value, results in a more meaningful, accurate and defensible DCF analysis
Note that the terminal year free cash flow has to be normalized to ensure that the company has reached a steady state
– Normalized operating assumptions: sales and profitability assumptions for the final year should reflect a “steady state” year, not a peak or trough in the business cycle; and depreciation and capex should be within the same range
Terminal value is determined through either application of a valuation multiple (the “terminal multiple”) or the perpetuity growth method
The terminal value captures the value of the business at the end of the projection period, which is based on the free cash flows of the business beyond the explicit forecast period.

Step 2: Terminal Value – Terminal Multiple Method Terminal Value = Statistic x Multiple
– Statistic: Operating statistic used (e.g., EBITDA in year 10)
– Multiple: Selected multiple (e.g., 10.0x)
Multiple is based on the most appropriate multiple for the company’s industry (e.g., EBIT versus EBITDA versus EBITDAR)
The multiple applied should reflect the long-term market valuation of the company/industry, rather than a current multiple that may be distorted by industry or economic cycles
When applying the multiple it is important to distinguish between:
Comparable trading company multiples and comparable acquisitions multiples
– It is almost always more appropriate to base terminal multiples on the figures derived via comparable companies analysis, rather than those from comparable transactions analysis
LTM and forward multiples
Always show a range of multiples

Step 2: Terminal Value – Perpetuity Growth Method The Gordon Growth formula:
Unlevered FCF n+1: Unlevered free cash flow in the first year after the explicit projection period– Note that we often estimate FCF n+1 by taking FCF n and growing it by the growth rate g,
but this is not always appropriate r: Discount rate (based on weighted average cost of capital) g: Perpetuity growth rate
The perpetuity growth rate used must be realistic Reference point should be nominal GDP growth Expected long-term growth rate of the industry (e.g., utility industry growth rate versus cable
TV industry growth rate)
Always show a range of perpetuity growth rates

Step 2: Terminal Value – Cross Referencing Check the reasonableness of the terminal value by linking the terminal multiple and perpetuity growth rate
– Calculate the implied perpetuity growth rate for a range of terminal multiples or, conversely check how the perpetuity growth rate translates into terminal multiples. For example, the terminal multiple you used may imply too high a perpetuity growth rate for the industry, or vice versa
The formula below demonstrates how to ‘reverse’ into the implied terminal multiple from the perpetuity growth method
– PV TV: Present Value of Terminal Value– FV TV: Future Value of Terminal Value – r: Discount rate– n: Number of years discounted – Statistic: Operating statistic on which multiple applied (e.g., EBITDA in year 10)
The formula below demonstrates how to ‘reverse’ into the implied perpetuity growth rate from the terminal multiple method (assuming FCFn+1 = FCFn x (1+g) )
– Multiple: Selected valuation multiple (e.g., 10.0x)– Unlevered FCF n: Unlevered free cash flow in last year of the projection
Does the terminal value make sense?
Implied terminal multiple = PV TV x (1+r)n FV TVStatistic Statistic=

Step 3: WACC – Discount Rate Overview
The WACC should be thought of as the opportunity cost of capital, the long-term return an investor expects to earn in an alternative investment of equivalent risk
The WACC to be used in a DCF analysis is specific to the business or asset being valued. It does not necessarily depend on the buyer’s or seller’s overall cost of capital
WACC is used by firms as the hurdle rate for a project or division, as a performance benchmark for return on capital calculations, to determine desirability of stock repurchases or issuance, or for valuation purposes
Mathematically, WACC is expressed as:
The Weighted Average Cost Capital (“WACC”) is the recommended discount rate to be used in the unlevered discounted cash flow valuation of an asset.
(1) Assumes capital structure is only debt and equity. Other sources of capital, such as preferred stock, would need to be included if present.(2) Based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model.(3) Assumes company’s debt is risk-free. In certain limited situations, an adjustment can be made to this formula to account for the riskiness of the company’s debt.

Step 3: WACC – Target Capital Structure The “weights” applied to the costs of equity and debt used in computing WACC for an asset represent the
theoretical “optimal” capital structure for that asset
Finance theory (Modigliani-Miller’s three propositions) suggests that in the absence of taxes and financial distress/bankruptcy costs, changing leverage has no effect on WACC, and therefore no effect on firm value
– However, in a world with taxes and financial distress, increasing leverage is predicted to result in a decrease in the cost of capital, permitting the determination of a theoretically “optimal” capital structure
– Common applications of WACC do not directly factor in financial distress costs, thus they underestimate WACC at high levels of leverage
– Another shortcoming of WACC is that it assumes capital weights (i.e., leverage) are held constant through time
Prior to calculating the cost of equity and debt for the company you are valuing, you need to define a target capital structure that reflects the debt to equity ratio that is expected to prevail over the life of the business.

Step 3: WACC – Target Capital Structure Calculate the current market value-based capital structure for the company
To estimate the market value of equity (market capitalization), multiply the stock price by the shares outstanding. Exercisable stock options that are “in-the-money” should be included in the equity value to the extent the current stock price exceeds the exercise price. If the company is not public, you can estimate the equity value by some alternative method.
To estimate the market value of debt, look to see if the debt is publicly traded; if so multiply the trading price by the number of securities outstanding. If the debt is not traded, estimate the market value by comparing with similarly rated publicly traded debt. Book value of debt is sometimes used as an approximation if value of bonds is close to par (issue price)
– Typically convertibles that are “out-of-the-money” are treated as debt at book value. Convertibles that are “in-the-money” are converted into shares of common stock at the conversion price and treated as equity. Theoretically, convertibles consist of both equity and debt components, but rarely do Wall Street firms break them into separate parts for WACC analysis
– Include capital leases in the total debt calculation. Operating leases require case-specific judgment - they are frequently converted into capital leases by applying a multiple (typically 6x - 8x) to the annual operating lease payments
– For companies with captive finance subsidiaries, we typically exclude finance company-related debt
You can use a combination of the following three approaches to estimate the appropriate target capital structure.

Step 3: WACC – Target Capital Structure Review the capital structures of comparable companies
– Assess the average market capital structure prevailing in the company’s sector
Review management’s financing philosophy– When possible, discuss with management of the company that you are valuing their
financing policy and their explicit or implicit target capital structure on a normalized basis. If you don’t have access to management, look for any statements in the press, research reports, annual report, etc. that give hints on the company’s medium to long-term financing objectives

Step 3: WACC – Cost of Equity Typically, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is used to estimate the cost of equity; there
are other approaches that are occasionally used in valuation, including: Rate of return required by private equity investors in the market (i.e., LBO or venture capital
transactions) Arbitrage Pricing Theory Fama-French three factor model
An investor may obtain a risk-free rate by investing in governmental bonds. By purchasing equities, he or she assumes general market risk and therefore will expect a certain premium for doing so. CAPM quantifies the relationship between risk and return in a well functioning market
To implement the CAPM approach, you need to estimate three factors that determine the Security Market Line: the risk-free rate, the market risk premium and the levered beta

Step 3: WACC – The Risk-Free Rate Finance theory recommends using a “true” risk-free rate that has the same term as the cash
flows projected
Since long term bond rates have intrinsic interest rate risk factored in, some theorists have suggested making a “liquidity” adjustment to the long bond rate representing the term premium implicit in those rates
– However, this is rarely done in practice by Wall Street professionals
At CS, we typically use the 20-year treasury bond for the U.S. risk-free rate, as it matches the risk-free rate used in the calculation of the equity risk premium
– Ibbotson uses the 20-year because there has only been a 30-year bond since 1977 and their data analysis goes back to 1926
– There is no longer a 20-year bond issued by the U.S. Government, so you must look for a 30-year bond that has been outstanding for 10 years or use interpolated yields from Bloomberg (type “ICUR20” and hit GO) or another source
– Treasury strips typically are not used but may be appropriate if the asset being valued provides a single payoff at the end of a specified term
To access current yields to maturity on U.S. Government bills, notes and bonds on Bloomberg, type “T” and the “Government” key and hit GO

Step 3: WACC – The Equity Risk Premium The equity risk premium (ERP) is the difference between the expected rate of return on the market portfolio and
the risk-free rate
Proper methodology for estimating the equity risk premium is the subject of much debate in academia– Equity premia ranging from as low as 3% to as high as 8% are used on Wall Street
CS IBD uses estimates for ERP from Ibbotson Associates; the current ERP figure is 7.1%– This figure is calculated by looking at stock market returns relative to returns on long-term government
bonds from 1926 through 2005– Some argue that use of this period over-estimates the risk premium, and that data over a more recent
period would suggest a lower premium– Also, some argue that using historical data presents a conundrum - equity returns over the last 20 years
have been significantly higher than returns on government bonds, however the performance of the equity markets may have been, in part, driven by a reduction in the equity risk premium
– Nevertheless, most (if not all) major Wall Street firms rely on the Ibbotson data for their cost of capital analyses
Where applicable, the WACC must be adjusted to reflect fact that betas for small companies do not account for all of the risks faced by investors in those companies. The following size premia (Ibbotson, 2006) should be added to the cost of equity calculation where appropriate:
Mid-Cap ($1,729 million to $7,187 million) = 1.02%Low-Cap ($587 million to $1,729 million) = 1.81%Micro-Cap (Below $586 million) = 3.95%
The equity risk premium is a critical element of WACC and DCF analysis that is often the subject of intense debate.

Step 3: WACC – Beta CAPM holds that investors are only rewarded for bearing systematic risk and are not rewarded for bearing
unique or unsystematic risk. It is assumed that investors can eliminate unsystematic risk on their own through portfolio diversification
Beta represents a measure of the systematic risk that exists in an asset, and is central to CAPMBeta = COV[Rasset, Rmarket] / VAR[Rmarket], or equivalently
= CORR[Rasset, Rmarket] x STDasset / STDmarket– High volatility is not necessarily an indication of high beta
Historical betas of publicly traded equity securities can be calculated based on an analysis of the actual returns on the security vs. the actual market returns over the same period
– Unfortunately, historical betas can be poor predictors of expected beta, which is what we need in our analysis
– BARRA, a financial research firm, computes predicted betas for most public companies
Use a portfolio or average of peer company betas where available because significant error can exist in individual betas
– R-Squared (R2) measures the “goodness of fit” of the regression line, and describes the percentage of variation in the dependent variable that is explained by the independent variable. R2 may vary from 0 to 1 with 1 meaning that the independent variable explains 100% of the variation of the dependent variable, although R2 for individual equity betas seldom rise above 0.2
Observed betas reflect both the business and financial risk of the company. Betas are unlevered to measure only the business risk of a company and then relevered to the target capital structure of the company that is being valued to reflect both business and financial risk
– Increasing leverage will, according to theory, increase the beta of a firm’s equity and hence its cost of equity

Step 3: WACC – Cost of Debt The cost of debt is measured as the expected return on the company’s long-term debt securities
– The cost of debt is dependent on both the general interest rate environment in the economy and the credit quality of the business or asset being valued
The cost of debt is measured on an after-tax basis because interest payments are tax deductible in the U.S.– The tax rate to be used is the company’s marginal tax rate, typically 40% in the U.S.
The cost of debt can be measured in several ways:
If the company has public debt outstanding, take the weighted average of current yields to maturity or yields to worst on all issues in the target capital structure
– The yield to maturity (or for callable bonds, the yield to worst) embodies the market’s expectations of future returns on debt and should be used instead of the coupon rate
– Average cost of debt (not marginal) may be more appropriate when the entire enterprise is being valued– Include short-term and medium-term debt (along with long-term debt) if it is expected to be part of the
permanent capital structure going forward– Talk to Debt Capital Markets (DCM) if debt securities are only thinly traded or if it is difficult to obtain a
market price
Risk-free rate + current corporate spread over treasuries of selected comparable credits– Must either use the bond rating given to the company by Standard & Poors or Moody’s, or estimate the
company’s bond rating by comparing the company’s financial ratios (i.e., Debt / EBITDA, EBITDA / Interest) to those of its peers who have such ratings
Be wary of debt securities that have options attached (e.g., convertible bonds or callable bonds) that affect the overall yield to maturity and thus may not reflect the true cost of straight debt securities

Step 3: CS U.S. WACC Methodology In practice, we typically make the following assumptions at CS:
In general, WACC calculation is not a science; there are no exact answers, judgment and reality checks are essential
– Typically, discount rate ranges centered around a best estimate for WACC are used in DCF valuations
– Small differences in WACC/discount rate can have huge impacts on value
Target Capital Structure Average of ratio of debt and equity market capitalization of selected comparable companies
Risk Free Rate: 20 year US Treasury coupon bond yield (Bloomberg: ICUR20)
Tax Rate: Estimated future marginal tax rate (usually 40%)
Equity Market Risk Premium:
Ibbotson equity market premium (currently 7.1%), calculated based on historical (arithmetic) return of equity market relative to 20 year treasury bond
Beta: Take predicted levered betas of comparable companies (use Barra predic ted betas), unlever them according to capital structure, average the unlevered betas, and re -lever the average to the target capital structure of the company being valued
Cost of Debt: Risk-free rate + current corporate spread over treasury for comparable credits

Step 4: Present ValueTime Value of Money
A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow.
Discounting– Discounting is the process of finding the present value of a future sum
Very Simple Example– Assumes the discount rate is 10%; uses end of period discounting for all cash flows
The total present value at December 31, 2002 is equal to the sum of the present values of the individual cash flows ($108)
Mid-year Discounting– The above example assumes end of the period discounting, that is it assumes all of the
cash flows come at the end of each period. A more accurate method may be mid-year discounting, which assumes that the cash flows come in the middle of each period (this is essentially equivalent to evenly spreading the cash flows throughout the period)
– When performing mid-year discounting, one must still discount the terminal value from the end of the forecast period

Step 4: Present ValueValuation
To calculate the value of a business using DCF analysis, the projected free cash flows over the forecast period are discounted to the present over the appropriate range of discount rates
A range of terminal values for the business is added to the cash flows in the last year of projections and discounted to a present value
The resulting values represent the total or “enterprise” value of the business, including both debt and equity. To calculate the value of a company’s equity, subtract the company’s net debt from its enterprise value
In addition, the enterprise value should be adjusted by adding other unusual assets or subtracting liabilities to reflect the company’s fair equity value
DCF pointers
Assumption Summaries: Write up summaries of the key assumptions underlying your cash flow projections
Sensitivity Analysis: It is useful to vary some of the important assumptions (e.g., sales growth rate, margins) to determine how sensitive your value range is to key determinants of future results
Calculator Check: Always check Excel numbers with a calculator

Step 5: Corporate Adjustments DCF analysis calculates the Enterprise Value (also known as Adjusted Market Value) of a
company– The Equity Value of a company is equal to its Enterprise Value less Corporate
Adjustments
Corporate Adjustments include the company’s net debt plus other obligations, less other assets not included in the DCF analysis or financial forecasts
The Equity Value per diluted share is equal to the Equity Value divided by the number of net fully-diluted shares outstanding
– Number of net fully diluted shares = Basic shares + net shares underlying “in the money” options / warrants + net shares from the conversion of “in the money” convertible debt and convertible preferred stock
Incremental common-equivalent shares are typically calculated using the treasury stock method– Note that this is a circular calculation – the treasury stock calculation depends on an
assumed share repurchase price, which is dependent upon the number of net fully-diluted shares outstanding
– Outstanding vs. exercisable options
Long term debt (including current portion) Contingent liabilities Short term debt Excess Cash Minority interest Value of other assets not in DCF Capitalized leases
(1) Note that “out of the money” options, while not converted per the treasury stock method, represent a cost that is not captured in the analysis (typically this error is a small one).

Excess of purchase price over fair market value (FMV) of identifiable assets less liabilities is recorded as goodwill
Goodwill amortized by the straight line method over a period not exceeding 40 years
Excess of purchase price over FMV of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill
Goodwill not systematically amortized. Instead, subject to an impairment test at least once per year and on an interim basis as warranted
No more systematic income statement “hit”
Because goodwill is not amortized but most other intangible assets will be, FASB wants companies to separately identify more intangible assets rather than simply allocating such amounts to goodwill
Accounting Treatments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has modified the existing purchase accounting rules and has eliminated the way we treat Goodwill.

Earnings Per Share
Corporate Performance yardstick
Cornerstone in merger consequences
2 Earnings per share (“EPS”) measures:– Basic EPS– Diluted EPS
Basic EPS Net Income ÷ Shares Outstanding
Diluted EPS Accounting concept only Factors in impact of options and convertible securities, if dilutive
– Option: right to buy a share from the Company at a predetermined price – Convertible Security: Preferred Stock or Bond whose owner has right to
surrender security for a certain number of common shares Options – Treasury Method Convertible Securities – “If-Converted” Method Shares outstanding calculated via Treasury Method frequently used to
calculate equity market value of a company
– Growth – Stability
– Stock price – Executive compensation

Earnings Per Share – The Treasury Method
Key Information
Stock Price (P) = $10.00
Basic Shares (B) = 20.00
Options (N) = 3.00
Strike Price (K) = $8.00
Net Income (NI) = $50.0
1. Basic EPS = NI B
= $50.0 20.00
= $2.50
2. Diluted EPS = NI Diluted Shares
Diluted Shares = B + Max (0, P – K) x N P
= 20 + Max (0, 10.00 – 8.00) x 3.00 10.00
= 20 + 0.60
= 20.60 shares
Diluted EPS = $50.0 20.60
= $2.43
Standalone EPS calculations - Use Options Exercisable from 10-K
Acquisition Target - Options Outstanding from 10-K Change of Control usually leads to accelerated vesting for all
options
Single Option “intrinsic value”
Intuition:
1. Company issues one share for each option = 3.00 shares
2. Company collects strike price of 3.00 X $8.00 = $24.00
3. Company uses $24.00 to repurchase shares at market price of $10.00 Shares repurchased: $24.00 = 2.40
$10.00
4. Incremental shares = Shares Issued - Shares Repurchased 3.00 - 2.40 = 0.60 Accounting Convention
– Diluted shares not ACTUALLY outstanding– Allows for consistent treatment of options
and computing EPS

Earnings Per Share – Convertible Securities Convertible Bonds and convertible preferred securities are bonds and preferred shares from an
economic perspective as well as in terms of their impact on financial statements until holder exercises his option to convert into common shares
Diluted EPS calculation follows a different logic – the “If-Converted” method Compare Diluted EPS on a converted and not converted basis, and choose the lower of the
two
If converted test:
Add back preferred dividend to net income
Add the number of common shares the convertible converts into to the basic share count
Compute EPS
Is EPS lower than Basic EPS?
If converted test:
Add back after-tax interest to net income [I x (1-t)]
Add the number of common shares the convertible converts into to the basic share count
Compute EPS
Is EPS lower than Basic EPS?
Convertible Preferred Convertible Bonds

Accounting for Investment in Equity Securities
METHOD OF ACCOUNTING BALANCE SHEET INCOME STATEMENT
Cost Method (less than 20% in a non-marketable security)
Investment is shown at cost. Changes in value (from original cost) are reported only as realized
Dividends received from target are shown as dividend income
Fair Value (less than 20% ownership in a marketable security)
Investment account is shown at fair value. Changes in fair value are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized
Dividends received from target are shown as dividend income. Losses are also realized upon recognition of permanent impairment
Equity Method (generally when voting ownership percentage is at least 20 percent but not more than 50 percent)
Investment account is shown at cost plus share of target’s net income less share of target’s dividends since acquisition
Equity in target’s net income is shown as investment income in period during which target earns income
Consolidation Method (generally when voting ownership percentage is greater than 50 percent). Tax consolidation requires at least 80% voting and value ownership “M&A Purchase Accounting” “Control” If own less than 100%,
recognize minority interest
Consolidate 100% of individual assets and liabilities of subsidiary. Minority interest in subsidiary’s net assets is shown between liabilities and equity
100% revenues and expenses of subsidiary are combined with those of acquiror. Minority interest in subsidiary’s net income is shown as a subtraction
