This valuation is part of this blog post:

http://blog.valuecruncher.com/2008/07/inbev-offer-for-anheuser-busch-bud-looks-cheap/

BUD grew revenues from US$14.9 billion in 2004 to US$16.7 billion in 2007 – a 3.7% compound annual growth rate. Our assumptions of revenues for the next three years are US$17.5 billion in 2008 growing to US$19.0 billion in 2010 – a 4.4% compound annual growth rate. We have projected EBITDA margins to be flat at 24%. We have used a terminal growth rate of 3%. We used a terminal capital expenditure number of US$900 million. We have also used a WACC (discount rate) of 7.5%.

The boring details

All amounts in millions Figures
Enterprise Value: 99,631
Net Debt (Long-term borrowings less cash): 8,857
Equity Value: 44,296
Number of Shares Outstanding: 713,000,000
Calculated value per share: $67.65

Enterprise Value is the present value of the post-tax cash flows for a business into the future.

Calcuation of EV

Where:

  • C1, C2, C3 - the cash flow in period 1, 2, 3, ...
  • r - the discount rate

To capture the cash flows into the future a terminal value is calculated via a perpetuity calculation -
based on the final years forecast post-tax free cash flow.

Perpetuity

Where:

  • Cn - the cash flow in the final forecast period.
  • LTG - the long-term growth rate
  • r - the discount rate
  • g - the terminal growth rate

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is used to determine the equity component in the discount rate.

CAPM model

Where:

  • rt - the risk free rate
  • t - the tax rate
  • B - the beta of the company
  • MRP - the Market Risk Premium

Valuecruncher uses an estimate of Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) to determine the discount rate in the calculation.
