Scenario 1
Average FCF (2012, 2011, 2010) is $536 million
Average FCF (2012, 2011, 2010) is $536 million
- Start at $536 million FCF
- Assume a 5-year growth rate in FCF of 13% per year, then no growth or 0% growth in FCF per year forever:
Discounted Cash Flow Valuation
The firm's future cash flows, discounted at a WACC of 6.87%, give a present value for the entire firm (Debt + Equity) of $14841 million. If the firm's fair value of debt is estimated at $186 million, then the fair value of the firm's equity could be $14655 million. $14655 million / 226 million outstanding shares is approximately $65 per share and a 20% margin of safety is $52/share.
