Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, grade: 1,3 (A), European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) (Economics), course: Seminar: Budgeting and Performance Measurement, language: English, abstract: This paper will evaluate the Discounted-Cash-Flow-Method (DCF) as a certain value based performance measurement system (VBPMS). Therefore criteria of evaluating performance measurement systems (PMS) in generally will be created (Chapter 2). This strategy will guarantee the fundamental comparability of the derived features of the DCF with these of other PMS (including non-VBPMS, too). Chapter 3 will emphasize a fundamental feature of VBPMS, the shareholder orientation. After a detailed investigation of the DCF in chapter 4, its criteria will be evaluated in chapter 5. Finally a quintessence closes this paper (chapter 6). 2 Criteria for evaluating performance measurement systems In this chapter criteria of value based performance measurement systems will be developed. Therefore the sense of performance in connection with enterprises will be explained, at first. Finally, the term “performance measurement system” (PMS) will be defined in order to point out there criteria. 2.1 The performance of an enterprise Performance of an enterprise stands for its achievement, its power or its output 1 . To describe this term exactly, it is important to get an impression of the objectives of an enterprise (see Figure 7.1).The objectives of an enterprise are derived from its mission 2 . The mission of a company stresses its basic function in society. Qualitative aims, called goals, are derived from the mission. If they are expressed in a way that can be measured, they are called objectives. Shareholder wealth maximisation is the traditional objective of firms 3 . In general, “any group or individual who can affect or is affected by the achievement of the organization’s objectives” 4 (Stakeholder) can influence its mission and therefore its objectives. And some of them do so, as one can realise for example by investigating the success of the Balanced Score Card 5 as a performance measurement instrument that emphasises the objectives of several stakeholders 6 . Obviously, not every Stakeholder can by considered. Only the interests of a few key-stakeholders will be regarded by the target system of a firm. Shareholders are one of the considered key-stakeholders because of their influence on the process of creating the mission (consider the rights of co determination of the general business meeting and the supervisory board 7 at share companies; the influence of the shareholders on partnerships is trivial).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nils Eikelmann describes the framework conditions for the application of value-based performance measures and critically analyses selected ones. The disclosure of value-based performance indicators is important in order to demonstrate the successful management of a company and to satisfy the increasing information needs of investors. However, companies adapt the developed theoretical concepts of value-based performance measures to their practical needs and thus investors are no longer able to compare the performance of companies. In addition, there is a variety of different metrics from which companies can choose. The empirical study aims to reduce existing research gaps and is divided into three parts: the analysis of annual reports of selected European companies, the calculation of a standardised value-based performance measure and a value relevance study in the form of an association study.

This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,3 (A), Northumbria University (Newcastle Business School), language: English, abstract: This study investigates the underlying theories and assumptions of two modern capital market-based valuation approaches, the Discounted-Cash-Flow (DCF) and the Economic-Value-Added (EVA) approach, which are nowadays applied principally for industrial and manufacturing firms. This general examination is then transferred into a more specific investigation exploring whether these valuation concepts can be applied to the strongly regulated and more specific field of bank valuation. A questionnaire addressing bank analysts was created to analyse this question. The project indicates that the ideas of shareholder value which have been enforced over the last decade have implemented the need for a more shareholder-focused valuation. The application of DCF is basically attributed to this movement. It is revealed that this concept uses cash flow streams which depict a more realistic picture of an organization's true earning power. Moreover, it employs a discount rate based on the capital market and thus reflecting the yield expectations of the investors. EVA, on the other hand is a relatively new concept, copyrighted in 1994 by Stern Stewart. It highlights an organization's true economic profits. The study examines its components NOPAT, Capital and Cost of Capital, establishes a relation to DCF, points out some general limitations due to the fact that it falls back on accounting figures and critically assesses its dependence on the CAPM whose inherent assumptions of efficient markets that are not transferable into reality, might affect the valuation. The primary research undertaken finally reveals that the concepts of DCF and EVA are basically suitable to be applied to the valuation of banks. However, there are some peculiarities, primarily due to difficulties associated with the defin

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biases in accounting causes management to choose inappropriate investment strategies since manager is influenced by their inaccurate perception of successful and unsuccessful businesses. Management needs a model that bridges the gap between measurement of historic financial performance and investment evaluation in order to make better strategic choice. The model must measure discounted cash flow, since cash flow and time value of money determines value. Shareholders want to make money on the company's ventures and therefore have financial requirements on management's strategic decisions, i.e. strategic investments. All additional, nonstrategic outlays with the purpose of maintaining the original value of the venture should be considered as quot;costsquot;. In this paper we present a new model called Cash Value Added (CVA) that introduces a relevant cash flow benchmark which will make it possible to measure historic financial performance based on discounted cash flow.

Download or read book Discounted Cash Flow written by Lutz Kruschwitz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-02-03 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firm valuation is currently a very exciting topic. It is interesting for those economists engaged in either practice or theory, particularly for those in finance. The literature on firm valuation recommends logical, quantitative methods, which deal with establishing today's value of future free cash flows. In this respect firm valuation is identical with the calculation of the discounted cash flow, DCF. There are, however, different coexistent versions, which seem to compete against each other. Entity approach and equity approach are thus differentiated. Acronyms are often used, such as APV (adjusted present value) or WACC (weighted average cost of capital), whereby these two concepts are classified under entity approach. Why are there several procedures and not just one? Do they all lead to the same result? If not, where do the economic differences lie? If so, for what purpose are different methods needed? And further: do the known procedures suffice? Or are there situations where none of the concepts developed up to now delivers the correct value of the firm? If so, how is the appropriate valuation formula to be found? These questions are not just interesting for theoreticians; even the practitioner who is confronted with the task of marketing his or her results has to deal with it. The authors systematically clarify the way in which these different variations of the DCF concept are related throughout the book ENDORSEMENTS FOR LÖFFLER: DISCOUNTED 0-470-87044-3 "Compared with the huge number of books on pragmatic approaches to discounted cash flow valuation, there are remarkably few that lay out the theoretical underpinnings of this technique. Kruschwitz and Löffler bring together the theory in this area in a consistent and rigorous way that should be useful for all serious students of the topic." --Ian Cooper, London Business School "This treatise on the market valuation of corporate cash flows offers the first reconciliation of conventional cost-of-capital valuation models from the corporate finance literature with state-pricing (or 'risk-neutral' pricing) models subsequently developed on the basis of multi-period no-arbitrage theories. Using an entertaining style, Kruschwitz and Löffler develop a precise and theoretically consistent definition of 'cost of capital', and provoke readers to drop vague or contradictory alternatives." --Darrell Duffie, Stanford University "Handling firm and personal income taxes properly in valuation involves complex considerations. This book offers a new, precise, clear and concise theoretical path that is pleasant to read. Now it is the practitioners task to translate this approach into real-world applications!" --Wolfgang Wagner, PricewaterhouseCoopers "It is an interesting book, which has some new results and it fills a gap in the literature between the usual undergraduate material and the very abstract PhD material in such books as that of Duffie (Dynamic Asset Pricing Theory). The style is very engaging, which is rare in books pitched at this level." --Martin Lally, University of Wellington

This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0, University of Pavia, language: English, abstract: Company valuation is requisite to identify the deviation of the intrinsic value of an asset from its market price. The Discounted Cash Flow method is a frequently used method to determine intrinsic value. It determines the intrinsic value based on the discounted future cash flow of the asset and works in two stages. The first stage refers to an explicit forecast of the cash flow followed by the second stage which captures the cash flow beyond the forecast period with a terminal value. The cash flow is usually discounted at the Weighted Average Cost of Capital which consists of the cost of debt and cost of equity. The latter is mainly determined by the systematic risk, measured with a beta factor. The aim of the present thesis is to analyze beta factor and terminal value as the key input factors of the Discounted Cash Flow model. A comprehensive overview of the different estimation methods of beta factor and terminal value will be provided and critically reviewed. To illustrate the valuation procedure and to analyze the impact of both parameters on the intrinsic value, a case study of Microsoft Corporation is conducted. The findings of the literature and the case study demonstrate that the main challenge of the Discounted Cash Flow model is the determination of terminal value and beta factor since both parameters can be estimated with different methods that lead to different results. Moreover, the case study provides evidence that the intrinsic value is sensitive to the input factors of terminal value and to the discount rate which is primarily determined by the beta factor. The results indicate that analysts who apply the Discounted Cash Flow model should be aware that this model is mainly based on assumptions and therefore can lead to different results. The dependence of intrinsic value on the terminal value and the beta factor stresses the importance of a critical examination of these both parameters and requires a need for further investigation.
Download or read book Principles of Cash Flow Valuation written by Joseph Tham and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-02-23 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principles of Cash Flow Valuation is the only book available that focuses exclusively on cash flow valuation. This text provides a comprehensive and practical, market-based framework for the valuation of finite cash flows derived from a set of integrated financial statements, namely, the income statement, balance sheet, and cash budget. The authors have distilled the essence of years of gathering academic wisdom in the study of cash flow analysis and the cost of capital. Their work should go a long way toward bridging the gap between the application of cost benefit analysis and the theory of capital budgeting. This book covers the basic concepts in market-based cash flow valuation. Topics include the tme value of money (TVM) and an introduction to cost of capital; basic review of financial statements and accounting concepts; construction of integrated pro-forma financial statements; derivation of free cash flows; use of the WACC in theory and in practice; estimating the WACC for non traded firms; calculating the terminal value beyond the planning period. It also revisits the theory for cost of capital and explains how cash flows are valued in reality. The ideas are illustrated using examples and a case study. The presentation is appropriate for a range of technical backgrounds. This text will be of interest to finance professionals as well as MBA and other graduate students in finance. * Provides the only exclusive treatment of cash flow valuation * Authors use examples and a case study to illustrate ideas * Presentation appropriate for a range of technical backgrounds: ideas are presented clearly, full exposition is also provided * Named among the Top 10 financial engineering titles by Financial Engineering News

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 1.3, California State University, Fullerton, course: Theory of Corporate Finance, language: English, abstract: This paper will deal with the procedure and implementations of firm/stock valuation using FCF approach and WACC – the weighted average cost of capital. On the road, the different approaches and methods of firm valuation, the various inputs of WACC and the final procedure finding the fair market value of the firm using Pro Forma Financial Statements, will be discussed. In this valuation method the two main parts contributing to the final value of the firm are Free Cash Flows (FCF) and the weighted average cost of capital. It is then used the time value of money concept along with some educated guesses about the long term sales growth rate and the long term WACC to apply common capital budgeting rules of project evaluation. Besides that, the paper will shortly discuss the influence of capital structure on a firm’s value. It will come out that there is a difference in value whether the company is leveraged and uses debt or not. When it comes to the different inputs of the WACC, a main focus will be on the required rate of return for shareholders. Finding the ‘right’ beta and an appropriate estimate for the market risk premium are the main issues of that part. Therefore, the CAPM model and its specific determinants will be analyzed. Thereafter, the nature of pro forma financial statements and the different parts of them will be defined. It will be described how the ‘free cash flows’ are determined and how that leads to the actual valuation procedure. Finally, the paper will focus on the terminal value as probably the most important and affecting part of the calculated firm value and its nature as a perpetuity in an investing perspective. The conclusion will finally deal with a critical assessment of the firm valuation process with the FCF method.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valuation lies at the heart of much of what we do in finance, whether it is the study of market efficiency and questions about corporate governance or the comparison of different investment decision rules in capital budgeting. In this paper, we consider the theory and evidence on valuation approaches. We begin by surveying the literature on discounted cash flow valuation models, ranging from the first mentions of the dividend discount model to value stocks to the use of excess return models in more recent years. In the second part of the paper, we examine relative valuation models and, in particular, the use of multiples and comparables in valuation and evaluate whether relative valuation models yield more or less precise estimates of value than discounted cash flow models. In the final part of the paper, we set the stage for further research in valuation by noting the estimation challenges we face as companies globalize and become exposed to risk in multiple countries.
