Firm valuation
Two approaches Focus on cashflows to equityholders Equity = PV of dividends Useful with moderate growth, constant payout ratio Focus on cashflows generated by assets
Assets = PV of free cashflows More general, because cashflows may not be paid out Equity = assets – debt

Liabilities and Equity
Current Liabilities Current Assets
Long-Term Debt Fixed Assets 1. Tangible fixed assets 2. Intangible fixed assets

Free cashflow Cash generated by the assets after all reinvestment
FCF = EBIT (1 – W) + depreciation – 'NWC – CAPX
FCF = EBIT (1 – W) – 'Net assets FCF = Operating cashflow (before interest) – CAPX

Sustainable growth
Forecasting Long-run growth = sustainable growth Faster in the short run, but not forever Forecast must be internally consistent Growth forecasts should be consistent with payout policy and profitability CitiBank financial goals, 1988
Growth: 15%
ROE: 18%
Payout: 30%
Leverage ratio (debt / assets): 95%
Are these goals feasible? 15
