Free cash flow to firm is cash flow from operations+ interest expense cash flow from investing activities.
Free cash flow to equity is free cash flow-interest expense(net of tax)-net debt borrowing.
Once we have calculated the free cash flow to equity we can then establish the dividend cover based on free cash flow to equity. We have learnt how to calculate dividend cover where we take PAT/Dividend paid. But before PAT is profit and its subject to manipulation by management so we can use a cash flow approach to do this.
11 www.accaapc.com
Direct method: PAT Adjustment for non cash item Adjustment for changes in working capital -cash flow from investing activities Adjustment for net debt borrowing Free cash flow to equity x x x x x x
Indirect method: Free cash flow -interest paid(net of tax)-because in free cash flow we have subtracted the whole taxes Adjustment for net debt borrowing Free cash flow to equity x x x x
Free cash flow needs to be assessed not in a single period because sometimes company would spend money into expanding the business in the current year so the current years free cash flow would be low but it does benefit the company for the long term.

APV is used when you are appraising a project where its financial risk is changed.
We have looked at NPV calculation and we use WACC(weighted average cost of capital) to discount cash flow.
WACC has incorporated debt and equity element and one of the arguments for this is future sales, costs incurred have nothing to do with financing but instead they are something to do with operations.
APV is used when you are appraising a project where its financial risk is changed.
This means we use cost of equity(ungeared) to discount the basic cash flow including revenue & expenses because they are something to do with business not finance.
17 www.accaapc.com
We can then establish present value of finance effect including issue cost, tax saving on interest and subsidy as well and for these items we use risk free rate/cost of debt to discount because APV doesnt specify which discount rate we should choose and you can argue that eg, for tax saving on interest we have no idea when tax rate may change and as a result we can use Rf or Kd to discount the cash flow. Here notice you can either use Rf or Kd to discount cash flow and whichever you use your examiner would give you a mark in the exam(although your answer may be different from examiners and thats totally acceptable).

How to raise $10m: use a 5 year bank loan(year1-5) and interest expense is 10%.
Rf=10%. Required: Calculate tax saving on interest to be incorporated into APV calculation.
Answer: 1, interest 10%X$10m=$1m. 2, tax saved: 30% X$1m= $0.3m 3, discount it: 1 year in arrears based on year 1-5
$0.3X AF(YR2-6) @10% $0.3XAF1-6 XDF(yr 1-5)@10% =0.3X 1/0.1 X(1-1/1.1^5)X0.909 =0.3X3.791X0.909 =1.03

Comment of APV
1, Difficult to choose an appropriate discount rate for side effect, ie, tax shield.
2, when establish the discount rate for base case NPV, ie, Keu, the beta factor is based on M&M assumptions.

Business Valuation
Session overview:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Reasons to value a business Types of valuation methods Payment methods Defense Regulation regarding takeover
31 www.accaapc.com
Well, the reasons being: We want to acquire another company so we need to determine how much we are going to pay for them.
For listed companies you would notice they have their own share price then we can take it multiply by number of shares giving us total market capitalization then why do we still need to value them?
The reason is because we are in a semi market hypothesis so the share price quoted may not include insider information then we need to do extra calculation to verify whether that share price is the value of the company.
Other reason includes eg, why we need to value the company would be company may want to go listed onto the stock exchange then how would you determine your share price? Of course you need to value it first then divide by the number of shares and hence you can get share price you are going to quote.
Or we would like to merge another company(Co1+Co2=Co1) or acquire another company in order to make it become a subsidiary, eg, creating synergies(1+1>2) so we need to understand how much its worth before we purchase it.
32 www.accaapc.com
There are three types of valuation including type1, type2 and type3.
Type 1 acquisition means after acquiring this company the existing business risk and financial risk would not change.
Type 2 acquisition means after acquiring this company the existing business risk would not change but financial risk changes.
Type 3 acquisition means after acquiring this company both business risk and financial risk change.
33 www.accaapc.com
Type 1 acquisition
We are going to use book value approach, market based approach and cash flow based approach to value the business.
1. Book value approach The simple idea is to look at total equity within statement of financial position BUT that figure doesnt include up to date information like:
Replacement cost: cost of setting up the same business now. Net realizable value: value to sell something now. Potential intangible assets: slogan, brand name etc. And we need to subtract goodwill in the valuation process as well.
After weve looked the above things we need to consider how to value an intangible asset.
34 www.accaapc.com
Hum has the following elements within its FS: $ Non-current assets: PP&E Goodwill Other intangible assets 100 30 20
Total equity
150
25
The property, plant and equipment have a replacement value of $50. 30% of the inventory are no longer required by Hum ltd and they can only be sold to customers for $2. Required: Calculate the valuation for Hum Ltd based on its net asset method.
35 www.accaapc.com
Answer:
Total equity
150
Total liability
25
After weve looked at how to value a business using net assets approach then we can start thinking about how to value its intangible assets because we know that an asset can be recognized in its FS if its identifiable (price agreed between two parties) but for company name, slogan, relationship with customers, they are not identifiable and how can we come up with a value for those items?
And for goodwill(the excess we paid for the reputation, slogan and relationship of company) maybe thats not worth this value and how can we value this as well?
36 www.accaapc.com
We use:
CIV approach(calculating intangible value) Market to book value The simple idea behind CIV approach is we compare: Average operating profit Average assets base With industry figure and the excess amount would be due to the value of intangible assets.
The simple idea behind market to book value approach is to compare: Book value of equity with market value of equity(share priceXnumber of shares) And the excess amount would be due to the value of intangible assets
37 www.accaapc.com
Average profit before interest and tax of Independence Ltd is $66.2. Average assets of Independence Ltd are $230. Average Pre-tax return on asset in the industry is 20%. Tax rate is 30%. Cost of capital is 11%.
Answer:
38 www.accaapc.com
Example MB plc
At the year end the book value of total equity of MB ltd is $200m. Share price as at the year end is $20 and there are 20m shares in issue.
39 www.accaapc.com
2. Market based approach Under market based approach we are going to use
After looking at the above techniques we can start thinking about why valuing high growth company is very difficult?
Well firstly most of these companies are loss making and hence using P/EXloss per share to value them becoming market price? Well this is difficult.
Secondly maybe these companies dont have much cash to pay to shareholders and hence when using dividend valuation model to value a company because Do=0 so Price of company=0?
40 www.accaapc.com
P/E ratio
Share value=
earnings
P/E acquirer
Target company
1, for earnings for target company, are you going to use the average earnings over 5years? 3years? Or are you going to use current year earnings?
2, for P/E ratio, if the target company is a listed company then P/E can be obtained from share market but what if the target company is not listed? So you may need to adjust the P/E using your own experience, expertise or you can take a company in the similar industry to adjust it.
41 www.accaapc.com
Sisi plc wants to acquire Pipi ltd and profit after tax of Pipi ltd is $300 whilst P/E ratio of a company in a similar industry with Pipi is 6. And P/E of Sisi plc is 8.
Pipi Ltd
42 www.accaapc.com
DPS
X100
This is one of the ways to maximize shareholders wealth and for listed companies this can be taken out from stock market.
This is often greater than interest rate because if this is not the case, from shareholders perspective why bother taking additional risks to invest money in shares but instead they can put their money directly into banks and enjoy a higher return.
We use this method to value a business normally unlisted but we can reasonable estimate the dividend per share of that company.
DPS(target Co)
Example: Don ltd Gun plc wants to acquire an unlisted company called Don ltd. Don has 10m shares in issue and expects to pay out a total dividend of $300,000. Dividend yield of a company in the same industry of Don Ltd is 2%.
Required: Calculate share price of Don Ltd using dividend yield basis.
43 www.accaapc.com
Answer:
DPS(Don Co)
= $300,000/10m 2%
=$1.5/share
Maybe we can further adjust $1.5/share by reducing it by 30% because its unlisted companies? But this is based on industry experience and expertise.(just a guess work)
44 www.accaapc.com
3. cash flow based approach dividend valuation model(dividend growth model) free cash flow method Economic value added(EVA)
45 www.accaapc.com
Here we are focusing on perpetuity whereby we are going to take future dividend(cash element) discounted at ungeared cost of equity.
In simple terms this is the PV of future dividend at cost of equity ungeared. Note: this is future dividend not current dividend.
This is useful when value a business whereby shareholders hold a minority stake because they tend to prefer dividend rather than capital gain.
If its with growth then Po= Do(1+g) Ke -g Notice: 1. Po is ex dividend because we need to consider the net effect after paying out dividend to shareholders and forms ke to our company. 2. g is dividend growth rate not earnings growth rate. 3. If examiner tells you to value a business using DVM cum dividend then you need to take Po + g.
46 www.accaapc.com
Comment: Advantage: Its useful when valuing a company for minority shareholders.
Disadvantage: When calculate growth rate etc using CAPM then disadvantages associated with CAPM would also apply.
47 www.accaapc.com
1, DIDI plc expects to pay a constant annual dividend of 45c per share and the market expects a rate of return of 15%.
2, DIDI plc expects to pay dividend of 30c next year and dividend growth rate is 5% whilst earnings growth rate is 10%. Ungeared cost of equity is 10%.
3, DIDI plc expects to pay dividend of 30c next year and dividend growth rate is 5% and the market expects a rate of return of 15% and what is the cum dividend value of share?
4, Current dividend of DIDI plc is 30c and dividend growth rate is 5%. Risk free rate is 5% and market rate of return is 10% and beta is 1.3.
5, DIDI plc expects to pay dividend of 30c next year. Ungeared cost of equity is 10%. Dividend in 4years ago was 20c per share and now is 25c per share.
6, DIDI plc expects to pay dividend of 30c next year. Ungeared cost of equity is 10%. DIDI plc has an accounting rate of return of 11% and pays out 35% of its profit after tax as dividend each year.
7, DIDI plc has a DPS of 30c and has just paid out whilst dividend growth is expected to be 10% in the next 2 years and 5% in year 3. DIDI plc estimates a 3% growth of dividend till perpetuity after year3. Ungeared cost of equity is 5%.

This is again perpetuity approach to discount future free cash flow at discount factor.
Free cash flow to firm (cash available to debt and equity holders) Free cash flow to equity(cash available to equity holders) If theres no grow of cash flow we can use:
PV=FCFTE Ke
If theres cash flow growth then we can use DVM model like:
PV=FCFTE(1+g) Ke -g Notice: g is cash flow growth rate or you can use inflation rate as well.
51 www.accaapc.com
Example Nente Co(June2012 Q1)(adjusted) Free cash flow of Nente Co is $1,180. Free cash flow in 3 years ago was $970 and now is $1,230. Its expected that growth rate will reduce to 25% of the original rate for the foreseeable future. Weighted average cost of capital is 11%.
Required: Using free cash flow to firm approach calculate current value of a Nente Co share.
Answer:
PV= FCFo(1+g) -value of debt WACC-g =1,180X(1+0.0206) -6,500 0.11-0.0206 =$13,471-$6,500 =$6,971
Economic Value Added(EVA) Free cash flow approach just looks at valuation of a company as at a point in time, ie, discounting future cash flow to the present value and if the company has spent money into buying non-current tangible and intangible assets then the total cash flow would decrease and hence value of the firm and share would decrease as well. But for economic value added method we are going to focus on a period rather than just a point in time. We are going to take profit-cost associated with finance and make LOTS OF adjustments(in the real life there are more than 160 adjustments we need to make).
Calculation
EVA=
net operating profit after tax Operating profit(1-T%) Or PAT + int net of tax
NOPAT: Operating profit(before tax) -Operating profitXCT% Normal operating profit after tax Adjustments:
Non cash items-depre/amotisation Research expenses Training costs Interest expense net of tax Operating leases

Capital employed:
*there are lots of adjustments in the real life but in the p4 exam your examiner tends not to complicate these issues but in p5 you can expect some other adjustments to be made like capitalized operating leases etc.
54 www.accaapc.com
Example: EVA plc The statement of profit or loss for EVA plc is as follows: 2013-2014($m) Sales Other Expenses Training costs research costs Interest expense PBT Tax expense @30% Profit after tax 80 (10) (10) (10) (10) 40 (10) 30
