Firm Valuation
Figure 5.6: Firm Valuation
Assets Liabilities
Present value is value of the entire firm, and reflects the value of
all claims on the firm.
Free Cash Flow to the Firm = Earnings before Interest and Taxes (1-tax rate) – Net
Reinvestment
Net Reinvestment is defined as actual expenditures on short-term and long-term assets less
depreciation.
The tax benefits of debt are not included in FCFF because they are taken into account in the firm’s
cost of capital.

Valuing the Home Depot’s Equity
Assume that we expect the free cash flows to equity at Home
Depot to grow for the next 10 years at rates much higher than the
growth rate for the economy. To estimate the free cash flows to
equity for the next 10 years, we make the following assumptions:
The net income of $1,614 million will grow 15% a year each year for the
next 10 years.
The firm will reinvest 75% of the net income back into new investments
each year, and its net debt issued each year will be 10% of the reinvestment.
To estimate the terminal price, we assume that net income will grow 6% a
year forever after year 10. Since lower growth will require less reinvestment,
we will assume that the reinvestment rate after year 10 will be 40% of net
income; net debt issued will remain 10% of reinvestment.

Terminal Value and Value of Equity
today
FCFE11 = Net Income11 – Reinvestment11 – Net Debt Paid
(Issued)11
= $6,530 (1.06) – $6,530 (1.06) (0.40) – (-277) = $ 4,430 million
Terminal Price10 = FCFE11/(ke – g)
= $ 4,430 / (.0978 - .06) = $117,186 million
The value per share today can be computed as the sum of the
present values of the free cash flows to equity during the next 10
years and the present value of the terminal value at the end of
the 10th year.
Value of the Stock today = $ 6,833 million + $ 117,186/(1.0978)10
= $52,927 million

From Cost of Equity to Cost of Capital

Estimating the Cost of Debt
If the firm has bonds outstanding, and the bonds are traded, the
yield to maturity on a long-term, straight (no special features)
bond can be used as the interest rate.
If the firm is rated, use the rating and a typical default spread on
bonds with that rating to estimate the cost of debt.
If the firm is not rated,
and it has recently borrowed long term from a bank, use the interest rate on
the borrowing or
estimate a synthetic rating for the company, and use the synthetic rating to
arrive at a default spread and a cost of debt
The cost of debt has to be estimated in the same currency as the
cost of equity and the cash flows in the valuation.

Estimating Cost of Capital: Boeing
Equity
Cost of Equity = 5% + 1.01 (5.5%) = 10.58%
Market Value of Equity = $32.60 Billion
Equity/(Debt+Equity ) = 82%
Debt
After-tax Cost of debt = 5.50% (1-.35) = 3.58%
Market Value of Debt = $ 8.2 Billion
Debt/(Debt +Equity) = 18%
Cost of Capital = 10.58%(.80)+3.58%(.20) = 9.17%

Stable Growth and Terminal Value
When a firm’s cash flows grow at a “constant” rate forever, the present
value of those cash flows can be written as:
Value = (Expected Cash Flow Next Period) / (r - g) where,
r = Discount rate (Cost of Equity or Cost of Capital)
g = Expected growth rate
This “constant” growth rate is called a stable growth rate and cannot be
higher than the growth rate of the economy in which the firm operates.
While companies can maintain high growth rates for extended periods,
they will all approach “stable growth” at some point in time.
When they do approach stable growth, the valuation formula above can
be used to estimate the “terminal value” of all cash flows beyond.
