Free cash flow | 72 | 74 | 75 | 76 | 77 |
Part 1a)
Computation of enterprise value using free cashflow (FCF) model:
Terminal free cashflow = cashflow at year 5*(1+Long-term free cash flow growth rate)/(WACC-Long-term free cash flow growth rate) = 77*(1+0.05)/(0.12-0.05) = 77*1.05/0.07 = 1,155
Enterprise value = {FCF in year 1/(1+WACC)}+{FCF in year 2/[(1+WACC)^2]}+{FCF in year 3/[(1+WACC)^3]}+{FCF in year 4/[(1+WACC)^4]}+{(FCF in year 5+Terminal free cashflow)/[(1+WACC)^5]} = {72/(1+0.12)}+{74/[(1+0.12)^2]}+{75/[(1+0.12)^3]}+{76/[(1+0.12)^4]}+{(77+1,155)/[(1+0.12)^5]} = {72/1.12}+{74/(1.12^2)}+{75/(1.12^3)}+{76/(1.12^4)}+{1,232/(1.12^5)} = 64.2857+(74/1.2544)+(75/1.404928)+(76/1.57351936)+(1,232/1.762341683) = 64.2857+58.9923+53.3835+48.2994+699.0699 = 924.0308
Enterprise value = 924.0308
Part 1b)
Equity value = Enterprise value - Debt = 924.0308 - 320 = 604.0308
Part 1c)
Price per share = Equity value/number of shares = 604.0308/1000 =0.604 per share
Part 1d)
If current price per share is $0.55, the share is undervalued hence recommended to purchase the share.
Part 2)
Long term growth rate = Possibility*rate = (5%*0.2)+(3.5%*0.5)+(2%*0.3) = 1%+1.75%+0.6% = 3.35%
Terminal free cashflow = cashflow at year 5*(1+New Long-term free cash flow growth rate)/(WACC - New Long-term free cash flow growth rate) = 77*(1+0.0335)/(0.12-0.0335) = 77*1.0335/0.0865 = 920
Enterprise value = {FCF in year 1/(1+WACC)}+{FCF in year 2/[(1+WACC)^2]}+{FCF in year 3/[(1+WACC)^3]}+{FCF in year 4/[(1+WACC)^4]}+{(FCF in year 5+Terminal free cashflow)/[(1+WACC)^5]} = {72/(1+0.12)}+{74/[(1+0.12)^2]}+{75/[(1+0.12)^3]}+{76/[(1+0.12)^4]}+{(77+920)/[(1+0.12)^5]} = {72/1.12}+{74/(1.12^2)}+{75/(1.12^3)}+{76/(1.12^4)}+{997/(1.12^5)} = 64.2857+(74/1.2544)+(75/1.404928)+(76/1.57351936)+(997/1.762341683) = 64.2857+58.9923+53.3835+48.2994+565.7246 = 790.6855
Equity value = Enterprise value - Debt = 790.6855 - 320 = 470.6855
Price per share = Equity value/number of shares = 470.6855/1000 =0.47 per share
Since the expected growth rate reduced, value of future cashflow fall, value of firm will fall & share price also fall. Earlier growth rate is 5% now 3.35%
Part 3)
Average P/E ratio = (7.14+5.73+7.91)/3 = 6.93
Earnings per share (EPS) = Profit after tax/Number of shares = 131/1000 = 0.131
Market price per share = P/E ratio * EPS = 6.93*0.131 = 0.9078 per share
Since without looking into firm specific earning capacity, based on comparable P/E ratio investor can make investment. Since this price is too high as compared to price computated based on Free cash flow model. Without looking into other factors, 6.93 times of firm EPS investor can ready to invest.
