First things first Enterprise value the value of the whole

enchilada The lettuce the cheese the corn flour tortilla The

you know mystery meat The enterprise value of a given
- 00:20
business is the total cost to replace it So if

- 00:24
you had a home you just bought for two hundred
- 00:26
thousand dollars down with a five hundred thousand our mortgage
- 00:29
the enterprise value of that home would be seven hundred
- 00:33
grand And parenthetically it's equity value would be two hundred
- 00:37
grand and you'd have two hundred grand in equity in
- 00:40
it and five hundred grand in debt on it Businesses
- 00:43
air valued And I'm kind of in a similar way
- 00:45
A company with say a hundred million dollars in even
- 00:48
or cash flow or cash profits might trade it and
- 00:50
say twelve times that even don number for now Don't
- 00:53
worry about why it trades a twelve twenty five at
- 00:56
twelve times that hundred million dollars in cash flow That
- 00:58
company is worth one point two billion dollars Why Because
- 01:02
Wall Street says so But the market capitalization of the
- 01:05
company might be we'll say only seven hundred million Why
- 01:09
Well because it has six hundred million dollars in debt
- 01:12
and one hundred million dollars in cash or net debt
- 01:15
of five hundred million box so that five hundred million
- 01:18
get subtracted from the one point two billion total to
- 01:21
get the equity value or set another way The enterprise
- 01:24
value of that business is one point seven billion because
- 01:28
you'd add that five hundred million dollars to the enterprise
- 01:30
notionally worth twelve times that hundred million bucks in cash
- 01:33
flow to try and replace it Lots of numbers and
- 01:36
ratios were thrown at you here So hang glider loose
- 01:38
or however you want Okay so even even does a
- 01:42
common evaluation metric or ratio in companies that a have
- 01:47
a lot of debt be are depreciating A lot of
- 01:50
capital expenditures and well see often don't have meaningful gap
- 01:54
earnings So another method has to be worked out to
- 01:57
evaluate their self worth other than ours The Friday in
- 02:00
therapy will help in the numbers Let's redo our definition
- 02:04
here of enterprise value from another angle there or even
- 02:07
the same angle there but with different lenses All right
- 02:10
there we go Let's start with a new home The
- 02:12
rich version of you just bought it for a million
- 02:15
dollars putting two hundred grand down and taking out a
- 02:16
mortgage for a hundred thousand bucks The equity or equity
- 02:19
capitalization Our equity value you have in your home at
- 02:21
this point is what now Yes two hundred thousand dollars
- 02:24
and the home's enterprise values a million bucks right We've
- 02:26
just said that because it would take a million bucks
- 02:28
toe fully replace that home Its enterprise value is a
- 02:32
million dollars Yes we're hammering this home Okay now back
- 02:35
to a more detailed company story Let's say human catapulting
- 02:39
has even Dov Forty million and one hundred sixty million
- 02:41
of debt Its growth rate in the industry trend suggested
- 02:44
it should trade about and ten times Even so ten
- 02:46
X EBITDA would give us four hundred million dollars of
- 02:49
gross value for the company But there's a hundred sixty
- 02:52
million dollars of debt which has to be subtracted from
- 02:55
the gross value to get the equities value So we
- 02:58
subtract hundred sixty million from the four hundred million dollars
- 03:00
to get two hundred forty million dollars of equity value
- 03:03
Like if the stock was trading publicly and there were
- 03:06
say ten million shares out it would be trading probably
- 03:10
at about twenty four bucks a share right Because the
- 03:12
stock price shows you what the equity value is The
- 03:15
Wall Street paying for it And we'd say that this
- 03:17
firm with one hundred sixty million dollars of debt is
- 03:20
lev ird for toe one debt Teo even dog that
- 03:23
is one hundred sixty million of debt TTO forty million
- 03:26
of even doc We don't ask ourselves Well how does
- 03:29
this company compare to human slingshots ink and to the
- 03:33
humoring ink as weapons of Miss Destruction Right Well slingshots
- 03:38
traded a lower multiple because while misfires air costly but
- 03:41
Human Rang trades at a premium of twelve times a
- 03:44
bit DA because of the nature of its physics in
- 03:46
the form of reusable humans when the shot is a
- 03:49
mist well this would be the comparable company multiple or
- 03:52
come Paco and in this case human catapults trade and
- 03:55
as might be expected at the midpoint of the range
- 03:58
of comparables aren't the last Metro is discounted cash flow
- 04:03
analysis which is the heavy valuation machinery that the professionals
- 04:07
generally used along with a weighted average cost of capital
- 04:11
In putting mathey clarity around their investment dollars Remember the
- 04:16
mantra A dollar today is worth more than a dollar
- 04:19
tomorrow This is the heart and soul of discounted cash
- 04:22
flow analysis Right So you're going to discount cash flows
- 04:26
into the future for risk and time But let's take
- 04:29
a deeper look A company will produce Net after everything
- 04:33
cash of one hundred dollars in your one two hundred
- 04:36
dollars in year two two fifty and three five hundred
- 04:39
for and eight hundred in Year five When it gets
- 04:42
sold on that eight hundred includes it's selling price so
- 04:44
this would be called shockingly a five year discounted cash
- 04:48
flow analysis Well your next step here is figure out
- 04:51
the discount rates The risk free rate is usually whatever
- 04:54
US government bond paper trades for In the analogous time
- 04:57
period that is you'd find a ten year T bill
- 04:59
that is halfway through its life span and figure out
- 05:02
what the rate is that it's paying If you went
- 05:04
to buy it right now so I'll say it's three
- 05:06
percent that's the five year risk free rate The risk
- 05:10
premium is the extra rate of interest You're going to
- 05:12
account for the likelihood that instead of producing in millions
- 05:17
on hundred two hundred to fifteen above above the company
- 05:19
produces on LY one hundred one hundred one hundred hundred
- 05:22
fifty so the company might do terribly relative to expectations
- 05:26
But it also might do a ton better than you
- 05:28
know your gases or projections The projection should generally be
- 05:32
in the fifty fifty over under his own III the
- 05:34
most likely case like you know when you have an
- 05:36
NFL game and there's a fifty fifty over under for
- 05:39
how many points are scored for both sides you know
- 05:42
stuff like that So let's say the premium on this
- 05:44
set of cash flows is eight percent to produce a
- 05:47
total of eleven percent That is there's eight percent in
- 05:50
risk on top of the risk free rate that attack
- 05:53
on right so total discount rate will be eleven percent
- 05:57
You then just set up the equation such that the
- 05:59
first five years show cash produced And then at the
- 06:02
end of those five years company is sold or goes
- 06:04
public or gets liquid or whatever But you sell all
- 06:06
your shares or all your assets or ownership and you
- 06:09
know you get your terminal value there Your end value
- 06:12
So let's say the company sells for a billion dollars
- 06:14
at the end when the tricky part in this SAT
- 06:17
lies in the power it aeration of the equation And
- 06:19
it would look something like this Yeah you don't need
- 06:22
to do the math here All you have to do
- 06:23
is think Yes we ask a lot Note that the
- 06:25
denominator of one point one one is iterated a ton
- 06:28
more in the out years versus hear one and one
- 06:31
point one one two the fifth powers about one point
- 06:34
seven So yeah interesting In your five you're dividing those
- 06:37
huge numbers by a pretty big number The notional eight
- 06:40
hundred million dollars in profits on a discounted basis is
- 06:44
only around four hundred seventy million Only stuffs what it's
- 06:46
worth today Almost half that is its present value is
- 06:50
just a bit more than half its terminal value The
- 06:53
key notion here is to separate balance sheet shenanigans and
- 06:56
our assets from the future earnings potential of the company
- 06:59
itself It is this separation that usually motivates an enterprise
- 07:03
value to even top perspective or valuation of a company
- 07:06
because in doing so the balance sheet is then separated
- 07:08
into the naughty chair words It's alone where it can
- 07:11
cloud the picture of the actual earnings potential of the
- 07:14
company itself and more pedantic Lee Company with a billion
- 07:18
dollars of net cash on its balance sheet should in
- 07:20
fact have a different lens looking at it like a
- 07:23
green one because it has so much excess cash you
- 07:26
know that it would when compared with a company with
- 07:28
three billion dollars of net debt So bottom line the
- 07:31
balance sheet matters a lot You have to adjust your
- 07:33
ratios to reflect company values because of it and you
- 07:38
know balance sheet matters And when it gets so does 00:07:40.277 --> [endTime] the thickness of the wall That's gotta hurt Hey
