Слайд 10Business Valuation: Standards of Value
Common Standards of Value
Fair Market Value (Tax):
Fair market value applies to virtually all federal and state tax matters, including estate, gift, inheritance, income and ad valorem taxes as well as many other valuation situations.
“The fair market value is the price at which the property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or to sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.” – IRS Revenue Ruling 59-60
Liquidation Value: Orderly; forced.
Fair Value (Financial Reporting): Can vary but it is generally similar to Fair market value with some exceptions.
The amount at which an asset (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.”-FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) 157
Fair Value (Litigation): Fair value may be the applicable standard of value in a number of different situations, including shareholder dissent and oppression matters, corporate dissolution and divorce.
Слайд 11Fair Value (FASB Definition)
Fair Value – is defined in this subtopic
as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Слайд 12Fair Value (Legal Definition)
Fair Value- is often used in court cases
to compensate a party for the involuntary use of an asset, such as eminent domain, where there is no reasonable assumption of a fair market value transaction.
Слайд 13General Valuation Objectives
There is no one right way to value an
asset, and in many cases, the process of assigning a single dollar value to a complex asset is as much art as it is science.
Business appraisers strive to achieve results that meet certain general requirements.
Consistency Ideally, different skilled appraisers should produce a similar valuation for a given asset.
Defensibility There is always the general possibility that any valuation could be subjected to legal challenges.
Suitability for purpose Valuations must be suitable to the purposes and circumstances of the individuals needing the information.
Слайд 14Misconceptions about Valuation
Myth 1: A valuation is an objective search for
“true” value
Truth 1.1: All valuations are biased. The only questions are how much and in which direction.
Truth 1.2: The direction and magnitude of the bias in your valuation is directly proportional to who pays you.
Myth 2.: A good valuation provides a precise estimate of value
Truth 2.1: There are no precise valuations
Truth 2.2: The payoff to valuation is greatest when valuation is least precise.
Myth 3: . The more quantitative a model, the better the valuation
Truth 3.1: One’s understanding of a valuation model is inversely proportional to the number of inputs required for the model.
Truth 3.2: Simpler valuation models do much better than complex ones.
Слайд 15Professional Organizations: The Appraisal Foundation
The Appraisal Foundation comprises two independent boards.
The Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) and the Appraisal Standards Board, promulgates the widely recognized uniform standards of professional appraisal practice (USPAP). USPAP components include the following:
Standards and standards rules For example, Standard 10 deals with business appraisal reporting.
Statements on appraisal standards For example, Statement on Appraisal Standard 2 deals with discounted cash flow analysis.
Advisory opinions These opinions relate to specific subjects. For example, Advisory Opinion 10 deals with the appraiser-client relationship.

Слайд 32Balance Sheet-Based Methods (Shareholders’ Equity)
These methods seek to determine the
company’s value by estimating the value of its net assets.
These are traditionally used methods that consider that a company’s value lies basically in its balance sheet.
They do not take into account factors that also affect the value such as:
the industry’s current situation
human resources or organizational problems
contracts,
company’s possible future evolution
money’s temporary value
accounting criteria are subject to a certain degree of subjectivity and differ from “market” criteria
all other factors that do not appear in the accounting statements.
Слайд 33Balance Sheet-Based Method on the basis of Book Value
A company’s book value, or net worth, is the value of the shareholders’ equity stated in the balance sheet (capital and reserves).
This quantity is also the difference between total assets and liabilities, that is, the surplus of the company’s total goods and rights over its total debts with third parties.
Balance Sheet of the Company A. Table 1.
Слайд 34Balance Sheet-Based Method
on the basis of adjusted Book Value
This method
seeks to overcome the shortcomings that appear when purely accounting criteria are applied in the valuation.
When the values of assets and liabilities match their market value, the adjusted net worth is obtained.
Example:
Accounts receivable includes 2 million thousands of bad debt, this item should have a value of 8 million dollars.
Stock, after discounting obsolete, worthless items and revaluing the remaining items at their market value, has a value of 52 million dollars.
Fixed assets (land, buildings, and machinery) have a value of 150 million dollars, according to an expert.
The book value of accounts payable, bank debt and long-term debt is equal to their market value.

Слайд 36Adjusted Book Value
The adjusted balance sheet of the Company A.
Table 2.
Слайд 37Liquidation Value
This is the company’s value if it is liquidated, that
is, its assets are sold and its debts are paid off. This value is calculated by deducting the business’s liquidation expenses (redundancy payments to employees, tax expenses and other typical liquidation expenses) from the adjusted net worth.
Taking the example given in Table 2, if the redundancy payments and other expenses associated with the liquidation of the company A. were to amount to 60 million dollars, the shares’ liquidation value would be 75 million dollars (135-60).
Obviously, this method’s usefulness is limited to a highly specific situation, namely, when the company is bought with the purpose of liquidating it at a later date. However, Liquidation Value always represents the company’s minimum value as a company’s value.
Слайд 38Substantial Value
The substantial value represents the investment that must be made
to form a company having identical conditions as those of the company being valued.
It can also be defined as the assets’ replacement value, assuming the company continues to operate, as opposed to their liquidation value. Normally, the substantial value does not include those assets that are not used for the company’s operations (unused land, holdings in other companies, etc.).
Three types of substantial value are usually defined:
Gross substantial value: this is the assets’ value at market price (in the example of Table 2: 215).
Net substantial value or corrected net assets: this is the gross substantial value less liabilities.
It is also known as adjusted net worth, which we have already seen in the previous section (in the example of Table 2: 135).
Reduced gross substantial value: this is the gross substantial value reduced only by the value of the cost-free debt (in the example of Table 2: 175 = 215 - 40). The remaining 40 mln KZTs correspond to accounts payable.
Слайд 39Income Statement-Based Methods
Income Statement-Based Methods are based on the company’s income
statement. They seek to determine the company’s value through the size of its earnings, sales or other indicators.
This category includes the methods based on the PER: according to this method, the shares’ price is a multiple of the earnings.
Слайд 40Value of Earnings
According to this method, the equity’s value is obtained
by multiplying the annual net income by a PER (price earnings ratio), that is:
Equity value = PER x earnings
The PER (price earnings ratio) of a share indicates the multiple of the earnings per share that is paid on the stock market.
Thus, if the earnings per share in the last year has been $3 and the share’s price is $26, its PER will be 8.66 (26/3).
So Equity value = PER x earnings=8.66*32 mln KZT=277.12 mln KZT
The PER is the benchmark used predominantly by the stock markets. Note that the PER is a parameter that relates a market item (share price) with a purely accounting item (earnings).
Слайд 41
Sometimes, the relative PER is also used, which is simply the
company’s PER divided by the country’s PER.
Evolution of the PER of the German, English and United States Stock Markets markets in 1992 and 2002.
Слайд 42Value of the Dividends
Dividends are the part of the earnings effectively
paid out to the shareholder and, in most cases, are the only regular flow received by shareholders.
According to this method, a share’s value is the net present value of the dividends that we expect to obtain from it. In the perpetuity case, that is, a company from which we expect constant dividends every year, this value can be expressed as follows:
Equity value = DPS / Ke
Where: DPS = dividend per share distributed by the company in the last year; Ke = required return to equity.
If, on the other hand, the dividend is expected to grow indefinitely at a constant annual rate g, the above formula becomes the following:
Equity value = DPS1 / (Ke - g)
Where DPS1 is the dividends per share for the next year.
Слайд 43Business Valuation: Weighted Average Cost of Capital
Weighted Average Cost of Capital
(WACC)
WACC = Weight of Equity (Cost of Equity) + Weight of Debt (Cost of Debt * (1-Tax)) + Weight of Preferred Security (Cost of Preferred Security)
Provides Overall Cost of Capital to Whole Company
Assumes Constant Debt to Capital Over Time
Слайд 44Sales Multiples
This valuation method, which is used in some industries with
a certain frequency, consists of calculating a company’s value by multiplying its sales by a number.
For example, a pharmacy is often valued by multiplying its annual sales (in dollars) by 2 or another number, depending on the market situation. It is also a common practice to value a soft drink bottling plant by multiplying its annual sales in liters by 500 or another number, depending on the market situation.
The price/sales ratio can be broken down into a further two ratios:
Price/sales = (price/earnings) x (earnings/sales)
The first ratio (price/earnings) is the PER and the second (earnings/sales) is normally known as return on sales.
Слайд 45Other Multiples
In addition to the PER and the price/sales ratio, some
of the frequently used multiples are:
Value of the company / earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT).
Value of the company / earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).
Value of the company / operating cash flow.
Value of the equity / book value.
Obviously, in order to value a company using multiples, multiples of comparable companies must be used.
Слайд 47
Business Valuation:
Cash Flow Discounting Approaches
Слайд 48Business Valuation: Cash Flow Discounting Approaches
Cash Flow Discounting-based methods seek to
determine the company’s value by estimating the cash flows it will generate in the future and then discounting them at a discount rate matched to the flows’ risk.
In these methods, the company is viewed as a cash flow generator and the company’s value is obtained by calculating these flows’ present value using a suitable discount rate.
Cash flow discounting methods are based on the detailed, careful forecasts, for each period, of each of the financial items related with the generation of the cash flows corresponding to the company’s operations.
Слайд 49Business Valuation: Cash Flow Discounting Approaches
Cash flow discounting-based valuation methods are
valuation techniques that provides an estimation of the value of an equity (net asset) based on the present value of expected cash flows.
The various forms:
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis (DCF)
Capitalization of Earnings
Dividend Discount Model (DDM)
Слайд 50Business Valuation: Cash Flow Discounting Approaches
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
The different cash
flow discounting-based methods start with the following expression: more general and flexible than other capitalized earnings methods
Слайд 51Business Valuation: Cash Flow Discounting Approaches
Although at first sight it may
appear that the above formula is considering a temporary duration of the flows, this is not necessarily so as the company’s residual value in the year n (VRn) can be calculated by discounting the future flows after that period.
A simplified procedure for considering an indefinite duration of future flows after the year n is to assume a constant growth rate (g) of flows after that period. Then the residual value in year n is:
VRn = CFn (1 + g) / (k - g).
Although the flows may have an indefinite duration, it may be acceptable to ignore their value after a certain period, as their present value decreases progressively with longer time horizons. Furthermore, the competitive advantage of many businesses tends to disappear after a few years.
Слайд 52Business Valuation: Cash Flow Discounting Approaches
The main idea behind a DCF
approach is relatively simple: a companies' worth is equal to the present value of all its estimated future cash flows.
Many variables go into estimating cash flows, but among the most important are the company's future sales growth and profit margins. Projecting such variables doesn't involve simply extrapolating present trends into the future. It's important to consider a variety of factors, including:
the industry’s evolution and trends
economic data
market share of a company
a company's competitive advantages and future position
competitive position of the main competitors
identification of the value drivers
a company’s suppliers and customers
internal and external risks and etc
Слайд 53Business Valuation: Cash Flow Discounting Approaches
For example:
A company with strong competitive
advantages may grow faster than its competitors if it is stealing market share.
Chemical companies that are heavily reliant on oil and natural gas, for example, could see profit margins contract if these materials go up in price and they cannot pass these cost increases on to customer.
Some companies benefit from operating leverage. Operating leverage means that as a company grows larger, it is able to spread its fixed costs across a broader base of production. As a result, the company's operating profits should grow at a faster rate than revenue. It can add thousands of customers with only very modest investments to its existing computer systems.
Likewise, a software company sees most of its costs in development. Adding an additional customer doesn't change this key cost.
Слайд 54Business Valuation: Cash Flow Discounting Approaches
Main questions that must be asked
of any discounted cash-flow model is exactly what kind of cash flows are you going to be discounting and which discounting rate shall be applied?
There are three basic cash flows: the free cash flow, the equity cash flow, and the debt cash flow.
The free cash flow (FCF) enables the company’s total value (debt and equity: D + E) to be obtained.
The debt cash flow (DCF), which is the sum of the interest to be paid on the debt plus principal repayments. In order to determine the present market value of the existing debt, this flow must be discounted at the required rate of return to debt. In many cases, the debt’s market value shall be equivalent to its book value, which is why its book value is often taken as a sufficient approximation to the market value. (This is only valid if the required return to debt is equal to the debt’s cost)
The equity cash flow (ECF) enables the value of the equity to be obtained, which, combined with the value of the debt, will also enable the company’s total value to be determined.
Слайд 55Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: discount rates
In cash flow discounting-based valuations, a
suitable discount rate is determined for each type of cash flow. Determining the correct discount rate is one of the most important tasks and it shall take into account all risks, historic volatilities; in practice, the minimum discount rate is often set by the interested parties.
Слайд 56Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Free Cash Flow
The Free Cash Flow
The
free cash flow (FCF) is the operating cash flow, that is, the cash flow generated by operations, without taking into account borrowing (financial debt), after tax. It is the money that would be available in the company after covering fixed asset investments and working capital requirements, assuming that there is no debt and, therefore, there are no financial expenses.
In order to calculate future free cash flows, we must forecast the cash we will receive and must pay in each period. This is basically the approach used to draw up a cash budget.
Слайд 57Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Free Cash Flow
Company’s free cash flow
must not include any payments to fund providers. Therefore, dividends and interest expenses must not be included in the free cash flow.
In order to calculate the free cash flow, we must ignore financing for the company’s operations and concentrate on the financial return on the company’s assets after tax, viewed from the perspective of a going concern, taking into account in each period the investments required for the business’s continued existence.
Finally, if the company had no debt, the free cash flow would be identical to the equity cash flow.
Слайд 58Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Free Cash Flow
For example the below
table gives the income statement for the company X. Using this data, we shall determine the company’s free cash flow.
Слайд 59Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow can
be obtained from earnings before interest and tax (EBIT). The tax payable on the EBIT must be calculated directly; this gives us the net income without subtracting interest payments, to which we must add the depreciation for the period because it is not a payment but an accounting entry. We must also consider the sums of money to be allocated to new investments in fixed assets and new working capital requirements (WCR), as these sums must be deducted in order to calculate the free cash flow.
Слайд 60Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Free Cash Flow
WCR = Cash +
Accounts Receivable + Inventories - Accounts Payable

Слайд 63Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Free Cash Flow
The below table shows
how the free cash flow is obtained from earnings before interest and tax (EBIT).
Слайд 64Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Free Cash Flow
Calculating the Value of
the Company Using the Free Cash Flow
In order to calculate the value of the company using this method, the free cash flows are discounted (restated) using the weighted average cost of debt and equity or weighted average cost of capital (WACC):
V(E + D) = present value [FCF; WACC]
V = FCF1/(1+ wacc) + FCF2 (1+ wacc)^2+CF3 (1+ wacc) ^3+..
+ FCFn/(1+wacc) ^n
WACC = E*Ke + D*Kd *(1 - T )/ (E + D)
D = market value of the debt. E = market value of the equity.
Kd = cost of the debt before tax = required return to debt.
T = tax rate, Ke = required return to equity, which reflects the equity’s risk.
The WACC is calculated by weighting the cost of the debt (Kd) and the cost of the equity (Ke) with respect to the company’s financial structure. This is the appropriate rate for this case as, since we are valuing the company as a whole (debt plus equity), we must consider the required return to debt and the required return to equity in the proportion to which they finance the company.
Слайд 65
Cash Flow Discounting Approaches
The Free Cash Flow
Слайд 66Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Equity Cash Flow
The Equity Cash Flow
The
equity cash flow (ECF) is calculated by subtracting from the free cash flow the interest and principal payments (after tax) made in each period to the debt holders and adding the new debt provided. In short, it is the cash flow remaining available in the company after covering fixed asset investments and working capital requirements and after paying the financial charges and repaying the corresponding part of the debt’s principal (in the event that there exists debt).
ECF = FCF - [interest payments x (1- T)] - principal repayments + new debt
When making projections, the dividends and other expected payments to shareholders must match the equity cash flows.
Слайд 67Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Equity Cash Flow
The Equity Cash Flow
Слайд 68Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Equity Cash Flow
Example:
Слайд 69Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Equity Cash Flow
This cash flow assumes
the existence of a certain financing structure in each period, by which the interest corresponding to the existing debts is paid, the installments of the principal are paid at the corresponding maturity dates and funds from new debt are received. After that there remains a certain sum which is the cash available to the shareholders, which will be allocated to paying dividends or buying back shares.
When we restate the equity cash flow, we are valuing the company’s equity (E), and, therefore, the appropriate discount rate will be the required return to equity (Ke). To find the company’s total value (D + E), we must add the value of the existing debt (D) to the value of the equity (E).
Слайд 70Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Equity Cash Flow
Calculating the Value of
the Company’s Equity by Discounting the Equity Cash Flow
The market value of the company’s equity is obtained by discounting the equity cash flow at the rate of required return to equity for the company (Ke).
VE = ECF1/(1+ Ke) + ECF2 (1+ )^2+CF3 (1+ Ke) ^3+.. + (ECFn +Vn)/(1+Ke) ^n
When this value is added to the market value of the debt, it is possible to determine the company’s total value.
V=VE+VD
Слайд 71Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Equity Cash Flow
The required return to
equity can be estimated using any of the following methods:
1. Gordon and Shapiro’s constant growth valuation model:
Ke = [Div1 / P0] + g.
Div1 = dividends to be received in the following period
P0 = share’s current price
g = constant, sustainable dividend growth rate.
Div1 = Div0(1 + g).
Слайд 72Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Equity Cash Flow
For example,
if a
share’s price is 200 KZT
dividend received last year is 8.62 KZT
dividend’s expected annual growth rate is 11%:
Ke = (10/200) + 0.11 = 0.16 = 16%
Слайд 73Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Equity Cash Flow
2. Cost of Equity:
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) defines the required return to equity in the following terms
For larger publicly-traded companies:
Ke = RF + ß (RM - RF)
RF = rate of return for risk-free investments (Treasury bonds).
ß = share’s beta (a systematic risk measure)
(The beta measures the systematic or market risk of a share. It indicates the sensitivity of the return on a share held in the company to market movements. If the company has debt, the incremental risk arising from the leverage must be added to the intrinsic systematic risk of the company’s business, thus obtaining the levered beta)
RM = expected market return.
RM – RF = equity risk premium
Thus, given certain values for the equity’s beta, the risk-free rate and the market risk premium, it is possible to calculate the required return to equity.
Слайд 74Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Equity Cash Flow
Cost of Equity: Capital
Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Example:
For example, if
RF =4%
ß =1.3
RM=10%
Growth rate =5%
Слайд 75Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Equity Cash Flow
Cost of Equity: Capital
Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Example:
Ke=0,04+1,3*(0,1-0,04)=0,118 (11.8%)
Vn = CFn (1 + g) / (k - g) – residual value of the company after year n
V(3)=(57,51*(1+0,05))/(0,118-0,05=888,02 - residual value of the company after year 3
Слайд 76Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Equity Cash Flow
Cost of Equity and
Leverage
Companies with more debt relative to equity are Riskier and have higher costs of equity
Beta (B)
Beta is a measure of the sensitivity of the movement in returns on a particular stock to movements in returns on some measure of the market (i.e. S&P 500, etc.)
Published and calculated betas typically reflect the capital structure of each respective company at market values
Unlevered beta is the beta a company would have if it had no debt
Lever the beta for the subject company based on one more assumed capital structure
The result will be a market-derived beta specifically adjusted for the degree of financial leverage of the subject company
Wd = Weight of Debt
We = Weight of Equity
Wc = Weight of Capital

Слайд 79Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Capital Cash Flow
The Capital Cash Flow
Capital
cash flow (CCF) is the term given to the sum of the debt cash flow plus the equity cash flow. The debt cash flow is composed by the sum of interest payments plus principal repayments. Therefore:
CCF = ECF + DCF = ECF + I - ∆D
I = D*Kd
It is important to not confuse the capital cash flow with the free cash flow.
Слайд 80Cash Flow Discounting Approaches: The Capital Cash Flow
Calculating the Company’s Value
by Discounting the Capital Cash Flow
According to this model, the value of a company (market value of its equity plus market value of its debt) is equal to the present value of the capital cash flows (CCF) discounted at the weighted average cost of capital before tax (WACCBT):
E + D = present value [CCF; WACCBT]
V = CCF1/(1+ WACC(BT) ) + CCF2 (1+ WACC(BT) )^2+CCF3 (1+ WACC(BT) ) ^3+.. + CCFn+Vn /(1+ WACC(BT) ) ^n
WACC(BT) =(E*Ke + D*Kd)/(E + D)
CCF = (ECF + DCF)

The DCF model that we will
talk about in this article discounts free cash flow, which is defined as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. Free cash flow represents the cash a company has left over after spending the money necessary to keep the company growing at its current rate. It's important to estimate how much the company reinvests in itself each year via capital expenditures. Reinvestment can take the form of a company purchasing machinery to start up a new production line, or retail companies opening new stores to expand their reach.
Note: There are actually two types of DCF models: "free cash flow to equity" and "cash flow to the firm." The first involves counting just the cash flow available to shareholders and is a bit easier to understand.
The second involves counting the cash flow available to both debt and equity holders and has several additional steps. We will talk about just the first method here, though both methods should give you roughly the same result for any given company. -

Lack of Marketability Discounts (LOM)
Marketability (liquidity)
is valuable. Other things equal, investors will pay more for the more liquid (marketable) asset
The discount for lack of marketability is the largest money issue in many, if not most, disputed valuations of minority interests in closely-held, private companies
The U.S. Tax Court normally allows discounts for lack of marketability for non-controlling interests in closely held companies, but the size of the discounts varies greatly from one case to another
Need to carefully study the recent case law in the relevant jurisdiction
The quality of the expert evidence and testimony presented in the Tax Court makes a big difference in the outcome
The Tax Court expects good empirical evidence, relevant to the subject at hand; simple averages are insufficient
Слайд 95Business Valuation: Lack of Marketability Discounts
Lack of Marketability Discounts
The highest discount
that the Tax Court has allowed purely for lack of marketability is 45%, and most discounts have been considerably less
The ESOP discounts for lack of marketability are generally low because most ESOP stock has a “put” right to sell the stock back to the sponsoring company, thus enhancing its liquidity and value.
Dissenting shareholder and shareholder oppression cases are quite mixed on the matter of discount for lack of marketability
There is little case law on discount for lack of marketability in divorce cases, and what exists is also quite mixed
If the standard of value is clearly stated as fair market value, then a discount for lack of marketability is appropriate

Restricted Stock Studies
Restricted stocks are, by definition, stocks of public companies that are restricted from public trading under SEC Rule 144
Although they cannot be sold on the open market, they can be bought by qualified institutional investors. Thus, the “restricted stock studies” compare the price of restricted shares of a public company with the freely-traded public market price on the same date
Price differences are attributed to liquidity
Many feel the discounts are a reliable guide to discounts for LOM
Empirical Studies: McConaughy, SEC Institutional Investor, Gelman, Trout, Moroney, Maher, Standard Research Consultants, Siber, FMV Opinion, Management Planning, Johnson, Columbia Financial Advisors Studies
Слайд 97Business Valuation: Lack of Marketability Discounts
Restricted Stock Studies
General Findings
Show
that restricted shares are worth less than unrestricted shares – generally ranging from 10 to 30%. Discounts as high as 55% have been observed
Discounts are larger for smaller companies and companies with more volatile stocks and more debt
These data are most appropriate for valuing restricted stocks and are difficult to apply to private companies
The value of the studies is that the comparisons are apples to apples (i.e. liquid stock value vs. illiquid stock value of the same company at the same time).
Restrictions have been relaxed and discounts have dropped
Statistical studies can explain at best 1/3 of the discount
Слайд 98Business Valuation: Lack of Marketability Discounts
Pre-IPO Stock Studies
A pre-IPO transaction is
a transaction involving a private company stock prior to an Initial Public Offering (IPO)
The pre-IPO studies compare the price of the private stock transaction with the public offering price. The percentage below the public offering price at which the private transaction occurred is a proxy for the discount for lack of marketability
The application of pre-IPO studies heavily debated and criticized because comparisons are apples to oranges
The dates of the transaction differ at a time when the company is changing rapidly (in the year before the IPO)
Discounts are very large
Discounts/premium should be based on specific to the subject case and not past court cases

Lack of Marketability/Illiquidity Discounts for Controlling
Interests
Still a controversial concept
A company with control can be marketable, but illiquid
More marketable and liquid than the minority interest; Higher lack of marketability discount for smaller blocks (for closely held companies)
Super majority requirement for certain States
Typically, private companies sell in 6 months which is shorter than the restriction period of restricted stocks
Слайд 102Business Valuation: Control Premium and Minority Discount
Control Premium
Other things equal, an
interest with control is worth more than one that lacks control
An amount by which the pro rata value of a controlling interest exceeds the pro rata value of a noncontrolling interest in a business enterprise that reflects the power of control often associated with takeovers of public companies
Some suggest that valuations of controlling interests be adjusted upward if they are based on publicly-traded stock prices which are minority interests
Hubris and synergy may explain premia
Not needed if cash flows are estimated at the control level

Слайд 105Business Valuation: Control Premium and Minority Discount
Lack of Control/Minority Discount
Some feel
that the control premium and the minority discounts should have the relationship as shown below:
This is overly simplistic. Ignores hubris and synergy and other factors that impact take-over premia
Must deal with negative “premia” in databases
Слайд 106Business Valuation: Control Premium and Minority Discount
Lack of Control/Minority Discount
Supermajority Requirement
– About a quarter of the states require something more than 50% plus 1 share vote to approve certain major corporate actions, such as selling out or merging. Thus, a discount for a lack of supermajority may be appropriate
Swing Vote Potential – Depending on distribution of the stock, a minority, swing block could have the potential to gain a premium price over a pure minority value
Interest of 50% - Discount from lack of control value should be less for the interest with some control prerogatives and a little greater for the interest without the control prerogatives
Many experts feel that publicly-traded stocks generally sell at a control value

An employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) is an employee-owner scheme that provides a company's workforce with an ownership interest in the company. In an ESOP, companies provide their employees with stock ownership, often at no up-front cost to the employees. ESOP shares, however, are part of employees' compensation for work performed. Shares are allocated to employees and may be held in an ESOP trust until the employee retires or leaves the company. The shares are then sold.

Equity carve-out (ECO), also known as a split-off IPO or a partial spin-off, is a type of corporate reorganization, in which a company creates a new subsidiary and subsequently IPOs it, while retaining management control. Only part of the shares are offered to the public, so the parent company retains an equity stake in the subsidiary. Typically, up to 20% of subsidiary shares is offered to the public.
