The boring details
All amounts in millions | Figures |
Enterprise Value: | 9,581 |
Net Debt (Long-term borrowings less cash): | 8,590 |
Equity Value: | 6,557 |
Number of Shares Outstanding: | 212,000,000 |

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.
I'm generally a fan of this company, but there is a lot of questions that remain. The company doesn't really seem to have any true competitive advantages, strong strategies or catalysts for realizing this value. I think of this as a very speculative position in a portfolio. No doubt, the company has been overly punished and I expect it to have a tremendous return. The company really needs to demonstrate some changes to their operations before I really believe in them.
