Scenario 1
Average FCF (2012, 2011, 2010) is $691 million
Average FCF (2012, 2011, 2010) is $691 million

- Assume a 5-year growth rate in FCF of 10% per year, then no growth or 0% growth in FCF per year forever:
Discounted Cash Flow Valuation
The firm's future free cash flows, discounted at a WACC of 14.52%, give a present value for the entire firm (Debt + Equity) of $7349 million. If the firm's fair value of debt is estimated at $902 million, then the fair value of the firm's equity could be $6447 million. $6447 million / 167 million outstanding shares is approximately $39 per share and a 20% margin of safety is $31/share.
