3

Criteria for Selecting a New Venture Valuation Method

The following questions are relevant for assessing the relative merits of different approaches:

Is cost of capital used as the discount rate?

Compensating for biased cash flow estimates by discounting with biased hurdle rates causes projects with more distant payoffs to be rejected incorrectly

Discount rates based on total risk can lead to rejecting projects that should be accepted

Does the approach deal with cash flows that vary in risk?

Different cash flow streams in the same period can differ in risk

Cash flows at different times can also differ in risk

Can the model be used to value real embedded options and complex financial claims?

A financial structure that includes real or financial options can alter overall value

How difficult is it to estimate the information required for the valuation?

Complex or difficult valuation approaches are sometimes too costly to justify

This is true particularly if the project is clearly worth pursuing, or where agreements for sharing gains and losses can be reached informally

Are sufficient data available to have confidence in relative valuation estimates?

Relative value works best if the expected future cash flows, total risk, and market risk of the comparables are believed to be proportional to those of the subject venture

4

Implementing the Continuing Value Concept

It is not practical to value a going concern by forecasting cash flows explicitly into the indefinite future

Instead, the normal approach is to summarize the value of cash flows beyond a rapid growth, explicit value period as a single “continuing value”

Continuing value is used to convert cash flows after the explicit value period to a single estimate of value that is equivalent to valuing each subsequent cash flow

Cash flows after the first few years are valued implicitly by applying a multiplier to the last explicit cash flow

The overall valuation is thus divided into two periods

For the first, an explicit cash flow projection is made for each year or other interval

We refer to this as the “explicit value period”

We refer to the period after the explicit value period as the “continuing value period”

5

Implementing the Continuing Value Concept

Determine the “explicit value period” and the “continuing value period”

Determine which multiplier (sales, earnings, etc.) to use for continuing value

Use an appropriate method and data to forecast the multiple at the end of the explicit value period

Estimate continuing value using the multiple

6

Using Continuing Value to Estimate the Value of a Venture

Figure 11.1

-- Figure 11.1 --

Using continuing value to estimate the value of a new venture

A common approach used in DCF valuation is to divide the forecast into two periods. During the explicit period, cash flows are forecast individually and valued directly. During the continuing value period, cash flows are converted to a capitalized value at the end of the explicit value period. This capitalized value is then discounted back to Time 0. Normally, the continuing value period begins when the venture reaches a point of stable growth.

7

Present value is the sum of discounted present values of explicit and continuing value cash flows:

PV is present value of the venture

Ct is the annual cash flow of each explicit period, t

CVT is the continuing value at the end of the explicit value period, T

rt is the discount rate for period t cash flows

Implementing the Continuing Value Concept

8

Determining the explicit value period

Continuing value estimates are most reliable if made for a period when a firm has reached a point of stable growth

It does not work well for valuing the early stages of a new venture

Thus, explicit cash flows are normally estimated for periods when the venture has not yet achieved profitability, and during rapid growth periods

In the figure, the continuing value period begins at the point where the venture is expected to be in steady state

Sometimes continuing value estimates are applied at earlier stages

If comparable companies have gone public at similar stages, underwriters are likely to use a combination of continuing value and explicit DCF methods

Implementing the Continuing Value Concept

9

Determining which multiplier to use

Multipliers can be tied to any accounting or non-accounting items at the end of the explicit value period, and derived from theory or based on comparables

A free cash flow measure seems like the obvious choice, since that is the source of the investor’s return

Sometimes EBIT or sales, can yield more reliable estimates

Other multiples could include: assets, recurring subscription revenues, monthly active users, etc.

Continuing value can therefore be based on a relevant multiple that has a stronger relationship to expected future cash flows than does cash flow at the end of the explicit value period

The strength of the relationship can be evaluated by comparing measures of dispersion of alternative multipliers across a sample of comparable firms

Implementing the Continuing Value Concept

10

Determining the multiplier

It is helpful to test whether the multiple derived from the comparables really makes sense for the venture

The multiple implies something about expected growth and cost of capital, and those implications should be assessed

The equation below summarizes the implicit assumptions

You can easily assess whether a multiple derived from comparables implies a sensible value for expected growth and cost of capital

Vt is value at time t, Ct+1 is cash flow at time t + 1, r is the discount rate, and g is the expected growth rate of cash flows

Implementing the Continuing Value Concept

11

Determining the multiplier

Generally, Ct is the cash flow generated over a year, and Vt is value at the end of that same year

Often referred to as a trailing value

It implies that prior earnings can be used in a consistent way, as shown in the equation, to predict future earnings

Vt, the value at the end of period t, is a function of the cash flows from period t + 1 onward

In the equation, Ct is increased by g, which effectively means that the numerator represents the next period’s cash flow

Implementing the Continuing Value Concept

12

Determining the multiplier

The prior equation is the standard expression for the PV of a growing perpetuity of cash flows

The equation can be rearranged to calculate the cash flow multiplier

where Vt/Ct is the cash flow multiplier

Implementing the Continuing Value Concept

13

Estimating the multiple

The relation between value in one period and all future cash flows

The implied cash flow multiple

Implementing the Continuing Value Concept

14

Determining the multiplier

The equation shows how the expected growth rate and discount rate affect the multiplier

The assumptions of a 10% discount rate and 4% annual growth rate of cash flows yield the following calculation and cash flow multiple:

Higher expected growth would increase the multiplier, as it simultaneously increases the numerator and reduces the denominator

A higher discount rate would reduce the multiplier by increasing the denominator

Implementing the Continuing Value Concept

15

Determining the multiplier

Although the connections between value and other accounting and non-accounting streams are indirect, the same principle applies

Higher expected growth rates imply higher multiples, and larger discount rates imply lower multiples

This suggests a way to use market data to estimate a multiplier

If, relative to comparable firms, the venture has high expected growth, a higher multiplier is implied

If the comparable firm cash flow is the expected cash flow, there is no reason the discount rate should be different from that of the comparable

Implementing the Continuing Value Concept

16

Determining the multiplier

There are two important issues to keep in mind

First, the cash flows of comparables are based on audited publicly reported information, whereas the venture’s forecast has not been

Second, the comparables have survived long enough to have gone public, whereas the venture is at an earlier stage

How best to deal with these issues depends on the purpose of the valuation and comfort level with the financial projections

If the projections of the venture were prepared consistently with GAAP and are unbiased, it is reasonable to assume that the projections are comparable to the reported numbers of the public companies

If the entrepreneur prepared the projections, the projections are likely to reflect the entrepreneur’s inherent optimism and direct application would overestimate continuing value

Implementing the Continuing Value Concept

17

Determining the multiplier

One solution to this survival bias is to base the continuing value estimate on multipliers from private transactions

A second is to adjust the public company multiplier for an estimate of the bias in the accounting projections for the venture

If, for example, you believe that the venture’s probability of failure is 30% and is not reflected in its projected cash flows, it would be appropriate to adjust the public company multiplier down by 30%

This solution is implicit in the actual multipliers that are frequently used in private transaction valuations

Such adjustments are often characterized (incorrectly, we believe) as “illiquidity discounts”

This leads to the third solution

Develop a set of projections that reflect the true expectations, including the risk of failure and are not positively biased

Implementing the Continuing Value Concept

18

Forecasting the multiple

Valuation must be based on a multiple expected to be accurate when the continuing stream of cash flows is being capitalized

The multiples observable today are not the ones you would want to use

To illustrate, consider the data shown in following figure

In 2002, the S&P 500 Index P/E ratio was around 37.3, a historical high, and the aggregate dividend yield was near a historical low

If the basis for equity valuation is the PV of expected future dividends, then either the expected growth rate must have been very high in 2002 or the cost of equity capital must have been very low

The true explanation probably involves a combination of both: rising dividends combined with low cost of equity

Implementing the Continuing Value Concept

19

Historical Price/Earnings Ratios for the S&P 500 Index

Figure 11.2

-- Figure 11.2 --

Historical Price/Earnings ratios of the S&P 500 Index: 1980–2017

The P/E ratio each year is calculated as monthly average of the value of the S&P 500 divided by aggregate earnings over the preceding (trailing) 12 months.

Source: www.quandl.com

20

Forecasting the multiple

P/E multiples are influenced by factors that can affect either the numerator or the denominator

In 2002, they soared in part because earnings levels of technology-related firms declined sharply after the Internet bubble

The 2009 multiple was caused by a large, widespread drop in earnings

Suppose that in 2009 you want to select a multiple for estimating continuing value where harvesting is expected in five years

Between 1980 and 2008 there was a great deal of variation in the ratio

The simple average over the 53-year period is 19.6, but the most recent historical period has seen higher multiples, on average

Implementing the Continuing Value Concept

21

Forecasting the multiple

How can we best estimate an appropriate multiple for 2020?

One valid approach is to use statistical techniques—regression analysis, exponential smoothing, or the like—to estimate future P/E multiples

For some valuations it may be sufficient to recognize that historical multiples appear to be mean reverting and that the multiple in 2008 is historically high

Even if the appropriate multiple is not the S&P 500 Index P/E ratio, if the multiple you use is based on comparables, it is likely to be highly correlated with the S&P Index multiple

Methods of New Venture Valuation

The RADR method

Based on the CAPM

The CEQ method

Based on the CAPM

The Venture Capital method

The First Chicago method

The Relative Value method

23

Implementing DCF Valuation Methods

CAPM-based approaches require assumptions about the risk-free rate, the market risk premium, and beta

In lieu of beta, they may require assumptions about market risk, project risk, and correlation

In the RADR, project risk is the standard deviation of holding-period returns, correlation is between project returns and market returns

In the CEQ, project risk is the standard deviation of cash flows, and the correlation is between project cash flows and the market

Estimating the risk-free rate

Estimating the market risk premium

Estimating the new venture beta

Estimating the components of beta separately

24

Estimating the Risk-free Rate

The appropriate risk-free rate for valuing a future cash flow is:

One available in the market as of the valuation date,

and for a holding period of the same duration as the cash flow

Thus, for a cash flow expected in five years, we would use the current risk-free rate for an instrument that would mature in five years

We normally assume we can infer the risk-free rate from current interest rates of U.S. Treasury securities of appropriate maturities

Cash flow projection can be in real or nominal terms

If nominal, the risk-free rate is the nominal rate that can be inferred directly from market data

If real, the real risk-free rate must be estimated by subtracting the rate of inflation that is expected in the market for the holding period

Publicly available inflation forecasts or historical data can be used to adjust the nominal rate

25

Estimating the Risk-free Rate

U.S. Treasury yields at the time of this writing were as follow:

U.S. Treasury yields, January 26, 2018

Maturity Yield %   Maturity Yield %
3-month 1.50   5-year 2.47
6-month 1.87   10-year 2.61
1-year 1.83   20-year 2.74
2-year 2.04   30-year 2.94
3-year 2.21      

Source: Based on http://www.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3020-tstrips.html . Maturities of one year or less are from zero-coupon securities. Maturities greater than one year are based on STRIP (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal) yields.

26

Estimating the Market Risk Premium

The market risk premium is the expected difference between the market return and the risk-free rate from investment until a cash flow is received

In contrast to the current risk-free rate, which is observable, the current market risk premium is not

Three approaches are used to estimate the risk premium:

(1) a long-term historical average

(2)  a risk premium implied by discounting a forecast of future dividends (i.e., the IRR that makes the PV of expected dividends equal today’s market price)

(3) a consensus estimate

The easiest, but not necessarily most accurate, is to extrapolate from historical data

28

Estimating the Market Risk Premium

The table shows arithmetic average returns since 1928 and since 1960 and the respective standard deviations of returns

It also shows the geometric averages calculated based on the beginning and ending values from 1928 through 2017 and 1960 through 2017

To estimate the expected market risk premium, use the difference between the historical average return on the S&P 500 (the market) and the historical average risk-free rate

For valuing a near-term cash flow, use the historical short-term risk-free

For valuing a longer-term cash flow, such as five years, use the historical long-term rate, represented by U.S. Treasury bonds

29

Estimating the Market Risk Premium

Using historical data to estimate the expected risk premium requires making some choices

Over how long of a period should average returns be measured?

Is it better to use arithmetic or geometric averages?

In using historical data, balance the relevance of older data with the statistical unreliability

The prior table includes historical data for two time periods. Other windows could be used

The historical averages over a long period is more reliable as long as the fundamentals that drive the premia are consistent

The period since 1960 is a time when modern portfolio theory was generally accepted so investors would mainly have been concerned with systematic risk

In earlier years the premium could have been affected by total risk

30

Estimating the Market Risk Premium

The table also reports historical inflation rates that can be used to infer the historical real rates for riskless debt

Based on the period since 1960, the apparent short-term real risk-free rate is 0.86% and the real long-term risk-free rate averaged 2.86%

Similarly, the risk premium of the S&P 500 averaged 6.63% above the short-term risk-free rate and 4.63% above the long-term Treasury rate

The historical average may not be the best measure of the market risk premium

Recent forward-looking estimates of the risk premium (derived by discounting forecasts of future dividends) suggest that the long-term historical average overstates the market risk premium somewhat

Recent estimates are generally in the 2.5 to 5.5% range

31

The final variable for the RADR form of the CAPM is the beta of the venture

Equation (11.4) is the formula for computing the asset beta based on its returns and the returns of the market:

The expression implies several different approaches that can be used to estimate βA

Estimating the New Venture Beta

32

Estimating the New Venture Beta

Using the betas of comparable firms

For established public companies, beta is often estimated by regressing historical stock returns on historical returns of a market index

The regression coefficient is the beta term in Eq. (11.4)

For new ventures, there is no publicly traded stock, so the information needed to estimate the regression coefficient is not available

A common solution is to use beta estimates from comparable public firms

33

Estimating the New Venture Beta

The following table contains data on equity betas for a number of different industry (sector) groups

Ranges in the table are based on averages for firms in the sector and are estimated based on two years of weekly stock returns

The beta values vary in a systematic fashion across industries

Sectors with low equity betas include banks and public utilities

High equity beta sectors include cyclical industries

34

Average Beta Estimates for Selected Sectors

Table 11.2

Equity beta estimates and leverage ratios are estimated by Damodaran and are updated regularly. Asset betas are computed as discussed in this section of the text. Sectors reported are the five with the highest and lowest asset betas as well as a number of sectors that are the focus of high levels of entrepreneurial activity.

Source: http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/New_Home_Page/datafile/Betas.html .

35

From the table, public company equity betas are rarely less than 0.5 or greater than 2.0

Eq. (11.4) requires and estimate of the asset beta

The asset beta removes the effect of financial leverage and reflects only the market risk of the venture

If debt is riskless or has no market risk, asset betas can be derived from equity betas using Eq. (11.5)

βE is usually estimated for comparables by regression (or taken from a published source

Estimating the New Venture Beta

36

Estimating the New Venture Beta

If data are available for more than one comparable firm, we would estimate the new venture asset beta and appropriate discount rate as follows:

Step 1. Calculate or collect equity betas and E and V for the comparables

Step 2. Use Eq. (11.5) to convert each equity beta to an asset beta

Step 3. compute a weighted average asset beta for the new venture

Weightings based on your judgment about comparability.

Step 4. If valuing cash flows to all investors, use the weighted average βA in the CAPM to estimate rA, the discount rate

37

Estimating the New Venture Beta

While public-firm comparables for early-stage ventures are uncommon, the late 1990s provide a rare exception

During that period, a large number of “new economy” ventures went public at early stages

Findings are summarized in the following table

Based on a large sample from the last half of the 1990s, the average equity beta is close to 1.0, similar to the total risk of the “market”

Because these firms tend not to use debt financing, their equity betas are approximately equivalent to asset betas

The evidence suggests that reasonable estimates of beta for nonpublic ventures will generally be in the range of about 0.6 to 1.25

Estimating the Components of Beta Separately

Components of beta

The standard deviation of cash flows or holding period returns

The standard deviation of market returns

The correlation between project cash flows and the market

40

Estimating the Components of Beta Separately

The standard deviation of cash flows or holding-period returns

Using scenario analysis or simulation, cash flow standard deviation information is generated at the same time and is easily used

It is not easy to go from the cash flow standard deviation to the standard deviation of (equilibrium) holding-period returns

It is not possible to determine the correct standard deviation of holding-period returns without simultaneously determining the value of the cash flows

You can circumvent the problem by using the CEQ form of the CAPM

With the CEQ it is not necessary to determine the standard deviation of holding-period returns and PV of the cash flow simultaneously

41

Estimating the Components of Beta Separately

The standard deviation of market returns

In the following table, we report the standard deviation of a long-run historical average of annual holding-period returns for the S&P 500

Standard deviation of market returns (S&P 500)
Holding Period Length Standard Deviation Variance
One year 16.69% 2.79%
Two year 23.60% 5.57%

Ten year 52.78% 27.86%

Table 11.4

Standard deviation of market return (S&P 500)

The 1-year standard deviation is computed over the 50 years ending with 2017, based on the annual holding-period returns of the S&P 500 index. Returns for longer holding periods are calculated assuming time-series independence of annual returns.

42

Estimating the Components of Beta Separately

The one-year standard deviation estimate is 16.7%

For longer holding periods, we assume the returns from one year to the next are independent of each other

Compute the standard deviation for a different holding period by:

multiplying by the square root of the time interval in years, or

by multiplying the annual variance by time, then taking the square root

For example, the two-year standard deviation is:

or

Table previous table reports market standard deviations for holding period returns up to 10 years

43

Estimating the Components of Beta Separately

The correlation between project cash flows and market returns

How can the correlation between venture cash flows and market returns be estimated?

One approach is to base the estimate on judgment, in light of the risks

Alternatively, it may be possible to use stock returns data for public companies to gain perspective on the range

A realistic range of values can be narrowed

A new venture with high idiosyncratic risk and little diversification, is unlikely to have a correlation with the market above 0.3

This is supported by Table 11.3, above, where the highest reported correlation is 0.26 and most correlations are in the 0.15 to 0.25 range

Correlations increase with financial maturity and size

A number around 0.1 is appropriate for early-stage ventures that have characteristics more like lotteries

44

Suppose some mature public companies are comparable to the venture and are expected to pay dividends at a constant rate

If we know the stock price, dividend level, and expected growth of dividends, we can use the dividend discount model:

D1 is the dividend expected next year, g is the expected rate of dividend growth, r is the unknown cost of capital, and P0 is the current stock price

For example, if the expected dividend is $1, expected growth of dividends is 3% per year, and current price is $12, estimated cost of capital is 11.3%:

Shortcuts for Estimating Opportunity Cost of Capital

45

Shortcuts for Estimating Opportunity Cost of Capital

If a public company cannot invest retained cash flows at a rate above cost of capital, then the earnings/price ratio is an estimate of cost of capital

With no growth, an investor is basically purchasing a perpetual stream of risky earnings

For example, if earnings are expected to be $1 and the current price is $9, the estimated cost of capital is 11.1%

If the company has attractive investment opportunities, the E/P ratio will be lower, depending on the value of growth opportunities

For most new ventures, these approaches are unlikely to be of much value as stand-alone methods

They can serve as a reality check on the cost-of-capital estimate you derive from a CAPM-based approach

46

Shortcuts for Application of DCF

Some venture cash flows are low risk and some are high

Ideally, we would discount each at a rate that takes account of its timing and risk characteristics; in practice, this is rarely done

Short of dealing with the unique characteristics of each cash flow in a period, we might use a weighted average discount rate for the aggregate

This would imply different discount rates for different periods and is rarely done

What usually happens in the RADR approach is that a single discount rate is used for all project cash flows

In part this is because the data on comparable public firms do not distinguish among separate cash flows based on risk or timing

In the CEQ, it is easier to take account of risk differences in cash flows

It could still make sense to simplify by using a single risk-free rate and market risk premium for all periods, but this does not automatically result in a single beta

47

Testing the Consistency of Assumptions

If market data for comparables are available, they can be used to see if the assumptions are internally consistent and reasonable

Compared to public companies, a new venture is likely to have higher total risk but more of the risk is likely to be idiosyncratic

Because these differences are offsetting, asset betas of new ventures are similar to those of public companies

New ventures have higher total risk (standard deviations) and lower correlations with the market

If the factors are offsetting, then you can use your assumptions about project risk to make an ex post check

Do the assumptions result in an implied beta that is reasonable in light of what you know about the betas of comparable public companies?

48

Testing the Consistency of Assumptions

If comparable firm data are available, why not just estimate the asset beta from comparables?

First, it is important to assess total risk, not only market risk:

It is unlikely that reasonable estimates of expected cash flows can be made without considering total risk

A reasonable measure of total risk is important for valuing from the perspective of an underdiversified entrepreneur

Total risk is critical for valuing complex financial claims and real options

Second, addressing the question of beta risk from both directions— using comparables for beta and inferring a beta from assumptions in the CEQ valuation—is a way to check the reasonableness of assumptions

New Venture Valuation: An Illustration

Micro Components, Inc. (MCI), will supply components to manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries

MCI seeks funds to increase production capacity to commercial scale

Scale-up will take one year, with revenues beginning in Year 2

MCI has prepared financial projections and developed three cash flow scenarios

It has also assigned a probability to each scenario

Micro Components, Inc. (MCI) cash flow forecast ($ thousands)

  Year Continuing value
Scenario Probability 0 1 2 3 4 5
Success 0.25 ($3,000) ($1,500) $1,000 $3,000 $5,000 $9,000
Likely 0.50 ($3,000) ($1,500) $500 $500 $500 $500
Failure 0.25 ($3,000) ($1,500) $0 $0 $0 $0
Expected   ($3,000) ($1,500) $500 $1,000 $1,500 $2,500

50

Using the Relative Value Method

Because MCI is an early-stage venture with no revenue, comparable public companies for relative valuation are unlikely

However, the relative value approach can be used to estimate continuing value at the end of the explicit value period

Under the “success” scenario, we assumed that MCI will go public at the end of Year 5

Under the “likely” scenario that the venture will be sold in a trade sale (acquisition)

51

Using the RV Method to Estimate Continuing Value

MCI is an early-stage venture with no revenue

Use relative value to estimate continuing value at the end of Year 5

The MCI “success” scenario is IPO

Data on comparables for the success scenario

Calculate an average or weighted average IPO cash flow multiple

Continuing value = CF multiple x MCI Year-5 CFsuccess

Using the Relative Value Method

For each comparable, we compute the ratio of price paid to CF to all investors, which is shown in the right-hand column below

Recent M&A transactions

Note: All monetary values in $ thousands.

Assuming the transactions are equally informative, we use the simple average of 8.0 times CF to all investors for the continuing value of MCI if it develops according to the expected scenario

Continuing value = CF multiple x MCI Year 5 CFlikely

= 8.0 x $0.5 million = $4 million

MCI Valuation: Cash Flow Recap

Expected cash flow is a probability-weighted average of scenario cash flows

MCI is entirely equity financed and cash flows to shareholders are shown

This means the appropriate discount rate is the cost of equity

The explicit value period is five years, at the end of which MCI anticipates two possible exits for investors

If the “success” scenario is realized, MCI would go public

The continuing value multiple will be 12 times Year 5 cash flow

Under the “likely” scenario, MCI will be sold by acquisition

The continuing value multiple will be 8 times the Year 5 cash flow

The “failure” scenario results in full loss of the investment, so that continuing value in Year 5 is zero

57

Using the RADR form of the CAPM

Equation (11.8) is the CAPM model in RADR form

PV is the present value of all cash flows to investors

Times 0 to T comprise the explicit value period, where Time T cash flow includes continuing value

Cjt represents a particular expected cash flow, j, at time t

For example, depreciation cash flows are likely to be much less risky than net income or operating cash flow in the same period

βjt is the cash-flow-specific beta estimate

Using the RADR Form of the CAPM

58

Using the RADR Form of the CAPM

Equation (11.8) is very general

βjt, which reflects the riskiness of the cash flow, is specific to both time period t and cash flow j

Within a given period, cash flows can differ in risk

Over time the risk-free rate and market risk premium can vary

So the discount rate can differ from one period to the next and for different cash flows in the same period

The cash flows in Eq. (11.8) are expected cash flows in the statistical sense, including the risk of failure

Continuing value is also an expected value estimate conditional on the various assumptions about exit strategy

When the RADR is used, uncertainty is addressed in the discount rate, so a direct estimate of cash flow uncertainty is not needed

59

Using the RADR Form of the CAPM

Consider the venture’s cash flows at Time 0 and in Year 1

Cash is used to expand capacity, and revenue generation has not begun

If the costs of capacity are certain, there is no cash flow variance across scenarios for the first two years

Given this, the investment cash flows should be valued at the risk-free rate

The important risks start in Year 2, when product sales begin

Revenue-based cash flows are much riskier

This can be seen in the variation by scenario in each of the Years 2–5

Because these cash flows are risky, the discount rates should not be the same as those for the Time 0 and Year 1 investment cash flows

60

Using the RADR Form of the CAPM

It is common when using the RADR approach to apply a single discount rate to all cash flows

Doing so in this case results in underestimating the PV of investment outflows and overestimation of project NPV

To be consistent with standard practice (and illustrate an advantage of CEQ), we first follow the common approach

Suppose we have estimated the following CAPM parameters:

Current rate on long-term Treasury bonds 4.0%

Market risk premium 6.5%

61

Using the RADR Form of the CAPM

The final variable for implementing Eq. (11.8) is the estimate of beta

MCI has identified the following three public firms as being comparable

We have collected data on their equity betas and capital structures

Comparable Equity β Market value of equity Debt value
Genric, Inc. 1.9 $12.0 $4.0
Preces Systems 1.5 $24.0 $3.0
Visania Co. 1.2 $7.0 $0.0

Note: All monetary values in $ millions.

62

The first step is to determine the asset beta using Eq. (11.5):

Based on a simple average of asset betas, MCI’s estimated βA is 1.32

Using the estimates of a 4.0% risk-free rate and a 6.5% market risk premium, the required return on assets, rA, is 12.58%

Using the RADR Form of the CAPM

Comparable Equity β MV equity Debt Asset value Equity to asset value Asset β
Genric, Inc. 1.9 $12.0 $4.0 $16.0 0.75 1.43
Preces Systems 1.5 $24.0 $3.0 $27.0 0.89 1.33
Visania Co. 1.2 $7.0 $0.0 $7.0 1.00 1.20

Valuation Template 1: Valuation by the RADR method based on discrete scenario cash flow forecast

Value is estimated using the RADR form of the CAPM. Shaded cells are inputs. All dollar values are in thousands.

64

Using the RADR Form of the CAPM

The “Market information” section of the template provides the data and calculations used to estimate the RADR each year

The table uses the same annual discount rate each period

As a result, beta is assumed to be constant, consistent with the most common use of the RADR approach

Starting values for the relevant assumptions are shown in Year 1 for a one-year holding period

For longer holding periods, the cumulative risk-free rates and cumulative market rates are found by compounding

Summing the PVs of each year’s expected cash flow produces an estimate of $15,352 as the value of MCI

65

Using the CEQ Form of the CAPM

Inputs to the CEQ valuation

We have already estimated RPM and rF (6.5% and 4.0%)

We have also calculated the expected cash flows, Ct

We have the standard deviation of the market from Table 11.4

For correlation with the market, we use the overall mean of 0.195 from Table 11.3 as a reasonable estimate

The main differences from Table 11.5 is that Table 11.6 adds the “Standard deviation of CFs” line

Cash flow standard deviations are computed separately for each year

The cash flows, discount rate calculations, and CEQ PV computation are summarized in Table 11.6, “Valuation Template 2”

Table 11.6

Using the CEQ Form of the CAPM

Consistent with earlier discussion, the Time 0 and Year 1 standard deviations are zero since cash flows are invariant across scenarios

The “Market information” section shows the Year 1 assumptions

In subsequent years, risk-free and market rates are compounded

Values for market standard deviation are from Table 11.4

The correlation of 0.195 is an assumption based on Table 11.3

68

Using the CEQ Form of the CAPM

In the “Market value estimate” panel, each period’s value reflects application of Eq. (11.6) to the data for that year

In Year 3, for example, the calculation is as follows

The numerator in the next-to-last term, $796, is the certainty equivalent CF

It is discounted at the three-year cumulative risk-free rate of 12.49%

Summing each PV gives a total (net) present value for MCI of $12,963

69

Using the CEQ Form of the CAPM

The “Diagnostic information” panel contains information that can be used to help understand the valuation and assess the reasonableness and internal consistency of assumptions

The first line shows the annualized required rate of return for each annual cash flow

Required rates are highly variable, and each is calculated by comparing the expected cash flow to its present value and converting to an annual rate

For example, the risk-adjusted holding-period return for the Year 2 cash flow is:

70

Using the CEQ Form of the CAPM

The “Diagnostic information” panel also shows the beta estimate for each period’s cash flow

The estimate for each year is calculated based on the data in the template and the formula for the cash flow beta

For example, the Year 4 beta estimate is computed as follows:

In the CEQ model, the estimated beta is different for each year

71

Comparing the CEQ and RADR Approaches

The CEQ produced a value estimate of $12,963

The RADR produces a value estimate of $15,352

The most important factor for the difference is that the RADR uses a single beta and the wrong discount rate to value each annual cash flow

The Year 1 cash flow is a good place to start

The standard deviation of the cash flows is zero

But in Table 11.5, the Year 1 cash flow is discounted at the RADR of 12.58%

In Table 11.6, the discount rate applied is the riskless rate of 4%

Rather than the correct PV of −$1,442, the RADR PV of the Year 1 cash flow is −$1,332, which contributes to overvaluation of the venture

In every year the RADR discount rate is incorrect

In Year 5, when the CEQ estimates the cumulative required risk-adjusted return at 108%, but the RADR rate is only 78.5%

72

Comparing the CEQ and RADR Approaches

Strengths of the RADR approach are:

Valuation is based on expected cash flows

The discount rate is intended to be opportunity cost of capital

Market data can be used to estimate cost of capital

It is unnecessary to estimate the total risk or market correlation

The main disadvantages are:

Holding-period returns and cost of capital must be determined simultaneously

Truly comparable firms are unlikely to be available for most new ventures

The appropriate discount rate for valuing a single cash flow cannot normally be determined based on data from comparable firms

If information on total risk is not generated, it is difficult to value complex financial claims

73

Comparing the CEQ and RADR Approaches

The benefits of the CEQ form of the CAPM are:

Valuation is based on expected cash flows

Cost of capital is used to value each annual cash flow

Cash flows that differ in terms of total risk are handled easily

Cash flows at different times can easily be valued separately

Any financial claim can be valued, as long as the CAPM assumptions hold

A measure of the total risk of cash flows is generated and is useful for valuation by an underdiversified entrepreneur

The main disadvantages of the CEQ approach are:

An estimate of the full distribution of cash flow possibilities is required

The correlation between venture cash flows and the market can be difficult to estimate

74

Using the Venture Capital Method

Step 1: Select a final year of the continuing value period for the valuation

Step 2: Use the appropriate P/E ratio or other multiple and the harvest-date cash flow projection to compute continuing value

Step 3: Convert the continuing value estimate to PV by discounting at a hurdle rate high enough to counter the bias in projections

Step 4: Compute the minimum fraction of ownership an investor would require in exchange for a given amount of capital

75

Using the Venture Capital Method

In the example, the final year is Year 5, and under the “success” scenario MCI expects to go public with a continuing value of 12.0 times cash flow to shareholders

We know from the CEQ model that the correct PV is $12,963

In Table 11.7, we compute the present values of MCI’s “success” scenario cash flows at hurdle rates of both 40% and 60%

At 40%, the value is $23,588, and at 60%, it is $12,106, slightly lower than the CEQ valuation of $12,963

In Table 11.7, we also solve for the single hurdle rate that generates the true PV, which works out to be 57.84%

76

77

Critiquing the Venture Capital Method

Advantages of the VC method:

Valuation can be driven by a “success” scenario projection

Negotiation may be facilitated by focusing on the entrepreneur’s projections

Investor’s experience may be easiest to apply without formal analysis when comparisons of ventures are made on the basis of “success” scenarios

Easy to use and may be adequate for simple investment decisions

78

Critiquing the Venture Capital Method

Disadvantages of the VC method

Lack of precision due to reliance on unnecessarily limited information and “rules of thumb”

Biases resulting from discounting optimistic cash flow projections at a hurdle rate that is above cost of capital

Lack of information about uncertainty, which would be useful for valuing complex financial claims

79

  Using the First Chicago Method

The First Chicago method uses discrete scenarios and probabilities

Calculate expected cash flow based on scenarios

Discount expected cash flows to compute PV

Same as applying the RADR approach to expected CFs from discrete scenarios

80

  Critiquing the First Chicago Method

Advantages of the First Chicago method

Discrete scenarios provide a simple method of estimating risk and expected return

Intent is to value expected cash flows

Uses an estimate of the opportunity cost of capital as the discount rate

Because information about total risk is derived, the method provides a basis for valuing complex financial claims

81

  Critiquing the First Chicago Method

Disadvantages of the First Chicago method

Discrete scenarios discard information about risk that could be useful, especially for valuing complex claims

No guidance is provided about how to determine the discount rate(s) to be used in the valuation

No basis is provided for assigning probabilities to the different scenarios used in the valuation

82

  Cost of Capital for Non-U.S. Investors

Opportunity cost is always the guiding principle of investing

Ability to diversify is a determinant of opportunity cost

In all developed countries and many others, investors retain the opportunity to invest in a diversified market portfolio

Because of currency exchange rates, doing so could subject the investor to somewhat different risks

Except for differences in expected inflation, the cost of capital for U.S. investors is likely to be similar to that of well-diversified portfolios throughout the world

The practical challenge of estimating opportunity cost may be greater in emerging economies

Prohibitions may exist against investments in foreign portfolios; exchange rates may be subject to dramatic swings or artificially constrained; opportunities to diversify domestically may be limited; and investors may face other risks, such as potential expropriation

83

  Some Practical Caveats on Implementation

Be cautious in relying on comparable-firm valuations that are based on private transactions

VC funding rounds often include sweeteners that make the shares issued in those rounds more valuable

Do not forget about stock-based compensation

VC-backed private firms often have established large stock-based option pools

Watch for bias in the selection and use of comparable firms

Paleari, Signori, and Vismara (2014) find that underwriters systematically exclude firms that would make a prospective issuer appear to be overvalued
