Asset
- An asset is something that an entity owns that can be used to generate income
or provide future benefits.
- According to the industry, assets have been defined as transactions that would
yield future economic benefits as a result of past transactions.
Asset-Based Valuation
The asset-based approach can be used on companies that hold both tangible
and intangible assets, either asset-holding companies or asset-operating
companies, which in almost all businesses fall into these categories.
The asset-based method is used to evaluate the value of the overall business.
This typically happens when in the purchase of the company, selling a
company, merger, or acquisition. The price of the company is directly related
to its tangible and intangible assets.
This may be difficult to evaluate because specific information about them may
not be readily available to the public and the value of these assets is
subjective.
● Intangible Assets
Some intangible assets like goodwill are recorded in the balance sheet and
some are not. Regardless, intangible assets are hard to quantify, so some
analysts may exclude them altogether.
- The Book Value Method highly depends on the value of the assets declared on
the financial statements.
- Book Value is important in valuation because it represents a fair and accurate
picture of the company’s worth. The figure is determined using historical
company data; this means that Investors and Market analysts get a reasonable
idea of the company’s worth. When Book Value is compared to the company's
market value, book value can indicate whether a stock is underpriced or
overpriced.

Globe Telecom, Inc.
The company leverages advanced technologies like 4G, LTE, and 5G to ensure
seamless connectivity nationwide. Globe Telecom is publicly listed on the Philippine
Stock Exchange (PSE) and is part of the PSE Composite Index, highlighting its strong
presence in the local market.
The company has expanded its operations through several subsidiaries. For
instance, 917 Ventures focuses on developing digital solutions, while Kickstart
Ventures invests in venture capital opportunities. Globe also owns Yondu, an IT
consulting firm, and has strategic investments in financial technology (fintech) and
e-commerce industries.
Globe Telecom, Inc. was chosen for Asset-based valuation due to the
availability of reliable and comprehensive data about the company. This information
enables the effective application of both the Book Value Method (BVM) and the
Replacement Value Method (RVM). With accurate financial data, the company's book
value can be calculated, reflecting its net worth according to its financial statements,
and the replacement value can be estimated, determining the cost to replace its assets
at current market prices.
The Integration of the Book Value Method into Globe Telecom, Inc.
This paper examines the application of the Book Value Method (BVM) as a
valuation technique for Globe Telecom, Inc. and its subsidiaries. By analyzing the
company’s financial statements, the BVM provides insights into its intrinsic value by
focusing on the net assets recorded on its balance sheet, also known as the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (see page 17 of the Consolidated
Financial Statements of Globe Telecom, Inc. and Subsidiaries dated December 31,
2023, 2022, and 2021). This method uses accounting data to calculate a company’s value
by subtracting its liabilities from its assets.
Rationale for Applying the Book Value Method to Globe Telecom, Inc.
The Book Value Method (BVM), however, only considers accounting data and
ignores factors like market conditions and future growth; it has some limitations. To
get a more complete picture of the company’s worth, it is useful to combine the BVM
with other valuation methods.
1. In the Book Value Method, the value of the enterprise is based on the book
value of the assets less all non-equity claims against it. Hence, the formula is
as follows:
4. Subtract the Total Liabilities to the Total Assets divided by the Number of
Outstanding Shares:
1. Analyze the items that the valuation method can be applied to.
Upon assessment of the notes, the following items can be valuated:
Upon assessment of the accounts, the cost of the assets + adjustments can be
used as an estimate for replacement value of an item. Since it is the available
data in the notes, we assume that the cost and its adjustments is classified as
the Replacement value.
Formula:
Formula:
1. Now compute for replacement value per share by computing for total current
and non-current assets and subtracting for liabilities and divide by
outstanding shares (BVM application):
The replacement value/ shares will be computed as follows:
The comparison table shows the differences between the Book Value Method
(BVM) and the Replacement Value Method (RVM) in valuing assets. Generally, the
RVM results in higher asset valuations because it considers the current cost of
replacing an asset, while the BVM relies on the asset’s historical cost, which can be
outdated. For example, Property and Equipment is valued at 662.81 billion under the
RVM, which is almost double the 334.41 billion in the BVM. This difference happens
because the RVM takes into account market changes, inflation, or new technology,
while the BVM doesn't reflect those shifts and is based on the asset's original cost,
minus depreciation.
Similarly, Intangible Assets and Goodwill are valued at 78.91 billion in the
RVM, which is 337.6% higher than the 23.37 billion in the BVM. Intangible assets
like brand value or patents can increase in value over time, especially in certain
industries, and the RVM reflects these changes better than the BVM, which relies on
older accounting methods. For Right of Use Assets, the RVM also shows a higher
value of 83.16 billion compared to 69.54 billion in the BVM, showing a 119.59%
increase. This increase is because the RVM looks at current market conditions, such
as higher leasing rates, while the BVM values these assets based on older records. In
some cases, like with Investments in Joint Ventures, the difference between the two
methods is smaller. The RVM shows a 105.16% increase, valuing it at 58.19 billion
compared to 55.34 billion in the BVM. This is because investments like these tend to
be more stable and less affected by market changes, so both methods give similar
results.
Therefore, the Replacement Value Method usually gives higher values because
it reflects current market conditions, while the Book Value Method is more
conservative and based on historical costs. The choice of method depends on the
nature of the asset and how up-to-date you want the valuation to be.
Conclusion
Both the Book Value Method (BVM) and the Replacement Value Method
(RVM) play crucial roles in asset valuation, and understanding their unique
applications is essential for accurate financial analysis. The BVM offers a reliable,
conservative estimate based on historical costs, which is valuable for accounting
purposes, financial reporting, and assessing a company's net worth over time. It
provides a stable and consistent measure that is useful for businesses with long-term
assets and less market volatility.
In contrast, the RVM offers a more dynamic approach, reflecting the current
cost of replacing an asset in today’s market. This method is particularly important
for industries where asset values are highly influenced by market conditions,
technological changes, or inflation. It is especially useful in insurance, real estate,
and asset management, where accurate replacement values are necessary for risk
assessment, insurance premiums, and investment decisions.
By using both methods, businesses and financial analysts can obtain a more
comprehensive view of asset value, combining the historical perspective of BVM
with the market-driven insights of RVM.This balanced approach ensures more
informed decision-making, helping organizations navigate different financial
situations, whether valuing assets for reporting, insurance, or strategic planning.
