The boring details
| All amounts in millions | Figures |
| Enterprise Value: | 231,261 |
| Net Debt (Long-term borrowings less cash): | 19,128 |
| Equity Value: | 162,798 |
| Number of Shares Outstanding: | 1,373,000,000 |
| Calculated value per share: | $141.42 |
Enterprise Value is the present value of the post-tax cash flows for a business into the future.
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.
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.
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.

IBM grew revenues from US$91.4 billion in 2006 to US$98.8 billion in 2007 – 8% year-on-year growth. Our assumptions of revenues for the next three years are US$109.0 billion in 2008 growing to US$121.0 billion in 2010 – a 7% compound annual growth rate. We have projected EBITDA margins to grow from 20.0% in 2008 to 21.0% in 2010. We have used a terminal growth rate of 3%. We used a terminal capital expenditure number of US$5.75 billion. We have utilised a WACC (discount rate) of 9%.
