DCF Analysis: Forecasting Cash Flows

In order to get started with a discounted cash flow analysis, we forecast a company’s free cash flows and then discount them to the present value using the company’s weighted-average cost of capital (WACC). Forecasting free cash flows, however, can be quite complicated – it is truly an art. There are many things that can impact cash flows and as many as possible should be taken into account when making a forecast: What is the outlook for the company and its industry? What is the outlook for the economy as a whole? Is there any factors that make the company more or less competitive within its industry? The answers to these questions will help you to adjust revenue growth rates and EBIT margins for the company. Let’s assume a hypothetical example in which we have a normal economic outlook for the future, a positive outlook for the industry and an…

DCF Analysis: WACC and the Capital Asset Pricing Model

The concept of a discounted cash flow analysis is simple: we forecast the company’s free cash flows and then discount them to the present value using the company’s weighted-average cost of capital (WACC). Calculating WACC, however, can be a bit more complicated. Let’s take a closer look at how it is done. The weighted average cost of capital or WACC represents weighted average price a company must pay for debt or equity capital. The formula for WACC is straightforward: WACC = Cost of Debt * Debt / (Debt + Equity) + Cost of Equity * Equity / (Debt + Equity) The weightings of capital in this equation are very easy to calculate based on the company’s current balance sheet. The cost of debt is a little more involved, but pretty straightforward, but the cost of equity calculation can be difficult. For a company with publicly traded debt, you would need to…

DCF Analysis: Calculating Terminal Value

In order to capture the value of a company beyond its free cash flows in a DCF analysis, one must calculate the company’s terminal value. Let’s take a look at how to do so. If we were to take the net present value of a company’s projected free cash flows (FCF) five years out into the future, we would be grossly understating the value of the company. We would be leaving out the value of the company’s projections beyond five years. In order to capture this value, we need to calculate the company’s terminal value (the value of the company in year five or the last year in a DCF analysis). Terminal value can be calculated a couple of ways – with a perpetuity calculation or an exit multiple calculation. The perpetuity calculation is like a mini DCF analysis of the company’s FCF off into infinity. The calculation of the perpetuity…

DCF Analysis: Unlevering a Beta

In the process of calculating a weighted average cost of capital for a discounted cash flow analysis, one must often unlever a Beta. Let’s take a look at the process. Calculating Beta is the fun part of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). Since Beta is a measure of how a stock moves with the overall market, you would calculate it by doing a regression analysis of the stocks performance against a broad index such as the S&P 500. Fortunately, many stock information services such as Bloomberg or Yahoo Finance have already calculated this value for stocks. The problem with these Betas is that they are levered. We need an unlevered value for our cost of equity calculation. The reason we need this unlevered value is that the amount of debt or leverage that a company has can affect its Beta. And since a potential acquirer of a company could choose…
