Company Valuation• Valuation is critical in merges &

acquisitions:– Aids evaluation of acquisition

candidates– Helps to set goals and

benchmarks• Framework essential to discipline

valuation estimates:– Comparable (Companies,

Transactions)– Discounted Cash Flow

(Spreadsheet, Formula)– Use of multiple methods offers

differing perspectives• Valuation should be guided by a

business economics analysis of thefirm and its environment

Value and the Marketplace• If the market is reasonably efficient

the market price can be trusted as afair assessment of value of an asset.

• Usually a company’s value is made ofthings which are easy to value (realassets) but also intangibles which aremuch harder to quantify.

• The most problems arise in valuing:– unique assets, or assets such as

the shares of most privatecompanies

– unique brands or unique core(irreplaceable) competencieswhich have no easy comparator

Stock Market Valuation = No. Shares x Current Market PriceThe market value is “ theoretically correct” if the Efficient Market Hypothesis Holds

01. Stock Market Valuation

Issues

• Managers may have extrainformation

• Quotes share price does notreflect the value of all shares

• Can’t do it for privatecompanies

• Usually requires asubstantial premium to getshareholders to give up theirshares

02. Net Asset Based ValuationNet Asset Valuation is has three main ways to value a companies assets. Net Book Value &

Net Realisable Value/“Fairness Opinions”Effectively for both ways though the equation is the same.

The only difference being how you value each of those different components.

03. Income Based ValuationsIncome based valuations of shares and companies have the innate advantage inthat they are orientated towards the future assuming that the company will continueto remain a going concern for the foreseeable future.

Two main methods examined in this module are:

• Discounted Cash Flow Models

• Dividend Valuation Models

Gordon’s Dividend Growth Model

• Calculation of a growth rate? Canwe predict a growth rate with anyaccuracy given the instability ofmacroeconomic factors?

• What about companies that do notpay dividends?

• Model is are highly sensitive to theassumptions made

• The quality of input data is oftenpoor

• If expected Growth g exceeds Ke anonsensical result occurs

Discounted Cash FlowModels

• Assumes that Modigliani andMillar’s Dividend IrrelevanceTheory is correct

• Is usually based on publishedaccounts data which manyusers may be sceptical

• Deciding the rate of growth ofcash flows can be speculative

• Problems deciding the periodover which future cash flowsare discounted

Capital Structure Theory – 04 Main Models01. The Trade-off Theory (Kraus & Litzenberger, 1973)

This refers to the idea that a company chooses how much debt finance and how muchequity finance to use by balancing the costs and benefits.

EDABS 202 – Corporate Financial Management (CFM) – Topic 04 – 01 – Business Valuation

www.newcastlebusinessschool.co.uk

Capital Structure Theory – 04 Main Models01. The Trade-off Theory (Kraus & Litzenberger, 1973)

• An important purpose of the theory is to explain the fact that corporationsusually are financed partly with debt and partly with equity.

• It states that there is an advantage to financing with debt, the tax benefits ofdebt and there is a cost of financing with debt, the costs of financial distressincluding bankruptcy costs of debt and non-bankruptcy costs (e.g. staff leaving,suppliers demanding disadvantageous payment terms, bondholder/stockholderinfighting, etc.).

• The marginal benefit of further increases in debt declines as debt increases,while the marginal cost increases, so that a firm that is optimizing its overallvalue will focus on this trade-off when choosing how much debt and equity touse for financing.

Capital Structure Theory – 04 Main Models02. Pecking Order Models• Pecking order theory was first suggested by Donaldson in 1961 and it was modified by

Stewart C. Myers and Nicolas Majluf in 1984.

• Financing comes from three sources, internal funds, debt and new equity.

• Companies prioritize their sources of financing, first preferring internal financing, andthen debt, lastly raising equity as a “last resort”.

• Hence: internal financing is used first; when that is depleted, then debt is issued; andwhen it is no longer sensible to issue any more debt, equity is issued.

• This theory maintains that businesses adhere to a hierarchy of financing sources andprefer internal financing when available, and debt is preferred over equity if externalfinancing is required (equity would mean issuing shares which meant 'bringing externalownership' into the company).

• Thus, the form of debt a firm chooses can act as a signal of its need for external finance.

Capital Structure Theory – 04 Main Models03. Signalling Models

• The signalling models are based on the conception that managers have more superiorinformation than outside investors when it comes to the financial performance and nonfinancial performance of the firm, and would thus send some form of message throughthis potential information to investors by increasing leverage. The signalling modelsassume that financing decisions are designed basically to convey future prospects tooutside investors. This is usually done to raise the value of shares when managers thinkthey are undervalued.

• Gatsi (2012), argued that debt obligates firms to make a fixed cash payment to debt-holders over the term of the debt security. They also mentioned that firms could beforced into bankruptcy and liquidity, if they default in honouring their debt obligations,and would ultimately affect the managers as they could lose their jobs. Managers maybe aware of this and do everything possible to maintain their positions, all things beingequal.

• Barclay and Smith (2005) contend that, dividend payments are not obligatory andmanagers have more judgment over their payments and can omit them in times offinancial difficulty. EDABS 202 – Corporate Financial Management (CFM) – Topic 04 – 01 – Business Valuation

Capital Structure Theory – 04 Main Models03. Signalling Models

• Ross et al (2011) indicated that adding more debt to the company’s capital structure can show as acredible signal of higher expected future cash flows as it shows that the firm has a crediblereputation been able to redeem their credit responsibilities on time. In view of this, increasinggearing has been suggested one of the potentially effective signalling tools.

• Two other signalling models are described by Heinkel in 1982 and Blazenko in 1987. The Heinkelmodel is focused on debt signalling information to the investors about the average and variability ofthe returns. In that model he assumed that positive relationship between the average and thedegree of variability facilitates signalling equilibrium in which higher value firms signals their qualitywith higher debt levels while the Blazenko model observes that managers that are prone to themean variance criterion would shift risky positive net present value investments opportunities thusreducing the value of the firm.

• From the fore-going discussion, it evident that higher – value firms would use more debt in theircapital structure to signal this value relative to their low – value counterpart and this is based onthe premise that inefficient firms cannot manage debt and any attempt to use more debt wouldjeopardize the financial health of the firm due to bankruptcy and its associated costs.

Capital Structure Theory – 04 Main Models04. Agency Cost Model

• Agency costs are the costs associated with the separation of owners andmanagement.

• Types of agency costs:• Monitoring costs• Bonding costs• Residual loss

• The better the corporate governance, the lower the agency costs.

• Agency costs increase the cost of equity and reduce the value of the firm.

• The higher the use of debt relative to equity, the greater the monitoring of thefirm and, therefore, the lower the cost of equity.
