An analyst is preparing a forecast of dividends for Hoshino Distributors for the next five years.
He uses the following assumptions:
Sales are $100 million in year 1. They grow by 20 percent in year 2, 15 percent in year 3, and
10 percent in years 4 and 5. There after will stabilise at 8% p.a.
Operating profits (earnings before interest and taxes, or EBIT) are 20 percent of sales in years
1 and 2, 18 percent of sales in year 3, and 16 percent of sales in years 4 and 5.
Interest expenses are 10 percent of total debt for the current year.
The income tax rate is 40 percent.
Hoshino pays out 20 percent of earnings in dividends in years 1 and 2, 30 percent in year 3, 40
percent in year 4, and 50 percent in year 5.
Retained earnings are added to equity in the next year.
Total assets are 80 percent of the current year’s sales in all years. In year 1, debt is $40 million
and shareholders’ equity is $40 million.
Debt equals total assets minus shareholders’ equity. Shareholders’ equity will equal the
previous year’s shareholders’ equity plus the addition to retained earnings from the previous
year.
Hoshino has 4 million shares outstanding. The required return on equity is 15 percent. The
analyst wants to estimate the current value per share of Hoshino.

Françoise Delacour, a portfolio manager of a U.S.-based diversified global equity portfolio, is
researching the valuation of Vinci SA (NYSE Euronext: DG). Vinci is the world’s largest
construction company, operating chiefly in France (approximately two-thirds of revenue) and
the rest of Europe (approximately one-quarter of revenue). Having decided to compute the H-
model value estimate for DG, Delacour gathers the following facts and forecasts: The share
price as of mid-August 2007 was €57. The current dividend is €1.37. The initial dividend
growth rate is 24 percent, declining linearly during a 12-year period to a final and perpetual
growth rate of 6 percent. Delacour estimates DG’s required rate of return on equity as 10
percent. Using the H-model and the information given, estimate the per-share value of DG.
Compare the value from H-model with the actual value from 2 stage model.

Assorted Fund, a UK - based globally diversified equity mutual fund, is considering adding
Talisman Energy Inc. (Toronto Stock Exchange: TLM) to its portfolio. Talisman is an
independent upstream oil and gas company headquartered in Calgary, Canada. It is one of the
largest oil and gas companies in Canada and has operations in several countries. Brian Dobson,
an analyst at the mutual fund, has been assigned the task of estimating a fair value of Talisman.
Dobson is aware of several approaches that could be used for this purpose.
After carefully considering the characteristics of the company and its competitors, he believes
the company will have extraordinary growth for the next few years and normal growth
thereafter. He has therefore concluded that a two - stage DDM is the most appropriate for
valuing the stock. The total dividends during 2008 is C $ 0.175, respectively.
Dobson believes that the growth rate will be 14 percent in the next year. He has estimated that
the first stage will include the next eight years. Dobson is using the CAPM to estimate the
required return on equity for Talisman. He has estimated that the beta of Talisman is 0.84. The
Canadian risk - free rate, as measured by the annual yield on the 10 - year government bond,
is 4.1 percent. The equity risk premium for the Canadian market is estimated at 5.5 percent.
Dobson is doing the analysis in January 2008 and the stock price at that time is C $ 17. Dobson
realizes that even within the two - stage DDM, there could be some variations in the approach.
He would like to explore how these variations affect the valuation of the stock. Specifically, he
wants to estimate the value of the stock for each of the following approaches separately.
I. The dividend growth rate will be 14 percent throughout the first stage of eight years.
The dividend growth rate thereafter will be 7 percent.
II. Instead of using the estimated stable growth rate of 7 percent in the second stage,
Dobson wants to use his estimate that eight years later Talisman ’ s stock will be
worth 17 times its earnings per share (trailing P/E of 17). He expects that the
earnings retention ratio at that time will be 0.70.
III. In contrast to the first approach in which the growth rate declines abruptly from 14
percent in the eighth year to 7 percent in the ninth, the growth rate would decline
linearly from 14 percent in the first year to 7 percent in the ninth.

 What is the terminal value of the stock based on the first approach?
 In the first approach, what proportion of the total value of the stock is represented by
the value of the second stage?
 What is the terminal value of the stock based on the second approach (earnings
multiple)?
 What is the current value of the stock based on the second approach?
 Based on the third approach (the H - model), the stock is over values or undervalued?

Startup Valuation

Secure Mail is a small software company that has developed a new computer virus screening
program. The company is fully owned by its founder and has no debt outstanding. The firm has
been in existence only a year, has offered a beta version of the software for free to online users
but has never sold the product (revenues are zero). During its year of existence, the firm
incurred $ 15 million in expenses, thus recording an operating loss for the year of the same
amount. As a venture capitalist, you have been approached about providing $ 30 million in
additional capital to the firm. To value the firm, you decide to employ the venture capital
approach.
 The founder believes that the virus program will quickly find a market and that revenues
will be $ 300 million by the third year. 2. Looking at publicly traded companies that
produce anti-virus software, you come up with two companies that you feel are relevant
comparables.
 Following are the details of publicly traded companies that produce anti-virus software
that are considered as relevant comparables
Company Market Cap Debt Cash Enterprise Revenue
Value
Symantec 9388 2300 1890 9798 5874
McAfee 4167 0 394 3773 1308

 Since this business has a product, ready for the market, but has no history of commercial
success, a target rate of return of 50% is agreed upon.

Charles Black, a chef at a five-star restaurant in New York City, has decided to leave his job
and start a new business, making and delivering healthy family meals, based on organic
produce, in a suburban town in New Jersey. The free cashflow of the startup is estimated to be
as follows:
Year 0 1 2 3 4 5
FCFF -60,000 -29,700 11,016 91,127 128,816 176,390

The free cash flow to the firm ($176,390) in year 5 (see table 15) will continue to grow at the
inflation rate (2% p.a.) for ten more years. At the end of year 15, we will assume that the
business is shut down and that there are no assets to salvage.The owner will continue to be the
only equity investor in the business and the debt ratio we assumed for the first five years will
hold for the next 10 years. The cost of capital will therefore remain at 14.84%. Calculate the
value of the startup.

A key factor in its expected success are the networking connections that Charles Black. The
value of the restaurant is therefore very dependent upon Mr. Black’s health and continued
involvement with the restaurant. A replacement chef for Mr. Black can be found (for an
equivalent salary to the $80,000 that we estimated for him), the revenues will drop by 20%,
every year, as a result of his absence. Calculate Key person discount
