Average FCF in last two years is $608 million.  Starting at $608 million FCF, assuming the company achieves a 5-year growth rate in FCF of 9% per year, and assuming that after the next five years, the company achieves no growth in FCF or 0% growth per year forever:

The firm's future cash flows, discounted at a WACC of 11.30%, give a present value for the entire firm (Debt + Equity) of $8143 million. If the firm's fair value of debt is estimated at $1230 million, then the fair value of the firm's equity could be $6913 million.  $6913 million / 348 million outstanding shares is approximately $20 per share and a 20% margin of safety is $16/share.


Scenario 2
Starting at $608 million FCF, assuming the company achieves a 5-year growth rate in FCF of 9% per year, and then a growth rate in FCF of 4% per year forever:
