5 Introduction When companies enter multiple businesses and many markets, valuation of such companies brings special challenges. The different risk, growth and cash flow profiles of the cash flow streams generated by multi-national firms requires appraisers to reconsider how we estimate discount rates and approach valuation. These firms can be valued on a consolidated basis and also on a disaggregated basis using the sum of the parts to value the businesses. Indé Global Inc. is the US independently owned member firm of KNAV International Limited, a network of international accounting firms. 4

6 Attributes of multi-business, multi-national companies Many different countries/markets Complex holding structures Risk parameters available for the aggregate but not for the pieces Intra-company transactions Taxes reflect mix of marginal tax rates and jurisdictions Large centralized costs Indé Global Inc. is the US independently owned member firm of KNAV International Limited, a network of international accounting firms. 5

9 Steps in discounted cash flow valuation STEP 1: Decide on whether to use aggregated or disaggregated numbers STEP 2: Make a currency choice STEP 3: Estimate risk parameters, allowing for the multiple businesses/ regions that the firm operates in STEP 4: Estimate future cash flows and value STEP 5: Get from firm value to equity value per share STEP 6: Decide whether you want to adjust the value of equity for other factors Indé Global Inc. is the US independently owned member firm of KNAV International Limited, a network of international accounting firms. 8

10 STEP 1: Decide on whether to use aggregated or disaggregated numbers Availability of information If management gives business/region wise information, else use industry averages Differences across businesses/ regions Significant differences across businesses/regions may call for disaggregated valuation Number of businesses/ regions Determine how practical it is to consider a disaggregate valuation considering number of businesses and presence in different regions Indé Global Inc. is the US independently owned member firm of KNAV International Limited, a network of international accounting firms. 9

11 STEP 2: Make a currency choice Aggregated valuation One currency as a base currency for valuation Domestic currency or foreign currency depending on: 1)Availability of inputs in domestic currency 2)Financial reports in a foreign currency maybe more comprehensive Disaggregated valuation Value each of the businesses located in different regions in different currencies and do the conversion of values at the final step Single currency for all the valuations and estimating cash flows and discount rates in that currency Indé Global Inc. is the US independently owned member firm of KNAV International Limited, a network of international accounting firms. 10

12 STEP 3: Estimate risk parameters, allowing for the multiple businesses/ regions that the firm operates in. Aggregated valuation Disaggregated valuation Betas Use a weighted beta for each industry/ country the company operates in on basis of its revenue or earnings Risk premium Compute the equity risk premium for each region and use a weighted risk premium based on its revenues or earnings from each of the regions Cost of debt Risk free rate of the currency used for estimating cash flows. Credit spread to be based on the overall rating of the company Debt ratios Debt equity ratio to be based on the entire company s debt and total market value of equity Betas There is no need to calculate Beta on a weighted average basis, it can be done by using sector betas for each of the businesses of the company. Risk premium Equity risk premiums to be calculated individually for each of the regions in which the company operates Cost of debt Wherever available, use separate credit spreads for each region/ industry and individual risk free rates based on currency used to prepare cash flow projections. Debt ratios In case individually units borrow money, individual debt ratios can be used. Incase of debt at a consolidated level 1)Basis of total assets 2)consolidated debt ratios 3)Industry average debt ratio Indé Global Inc. is the US independently owned member firm of KNAV International Limited, a network of international accounting firms. 11

15 STEP 3: Estimate risk parameters, allowing for the multiple businesses/ regions that the firm operates in. Risk premium The three commonly used approaches for computing CRP: 1. Bond default spread: The default spread on a dollar denominated bond issued by the country. Brazil s 10 year $ denominated bond at the start of 2017 was trading at an interest rate of 6.09 %, a default spread of 3.64% over the US treasury bond rate of 2.45%. 2. Sovereign ratings spread: Brazil s sovereign local currency rating is Ba2. The default spread for a Ba2 rated sovereign is about 3.47%. 3. Relative standard deviation approach The country equity risk premium is based upon the volatility of the market in question relative to the US market. i. Assume that ERP of US is 6.94% ii. Assume that the standard deviation in Brazilian equity is 30% and that the standard deviation for S&P 500 is 18% iii. Therefore, total ERP for Brazil = 6.94% x (30%/18%) = 11.57% iv. Country risk premium for Brazil = 11.57% % = 4.63% Sovereign ratings spread: In this approach, the country equity risk premium is set equal to the default spread for the country: Sovereign local currency rating Rating based Countries S&P rating Moody's rating default spread USA AAA Aaa 0.0% UK AA+ Aa1 0.5% Brazil BB Ba2 3.5% Bangladesh BB- Ba3 4.2% Canada AAA Aaa 0.0% Mexico A- A3 1.4% This default spread is added on to the mature market premium to arrive at the total equity risk premium for each of the countries, taking a mature market premium of 6.96%.

Debt ratios In case individually units borrow money, individual debt ratios can be used. Incase of debt at a consolidated level 1)Basis of total assets 2)consolidated debt ratios 3)Industry average debt ratio Indé Global Inc. is the US independently owned member firm of KNAV International Limited, a network of international accounting firms. 17

19 STEP 3: Estimate risk parameters, allowing for the multiple businesses/ regions that the firm operates in Cost of debt Cost of debt (Kd) = (Rf + credit spread) x (1-t) = (3% %) x (1-0.38) = 2.95% Varies across different currencies Varies across different borrowings of the firm Varies across different countries 3 ways in which we can deal with different tax rates I st Use a Weighted Average of the marginal tax rates, with the weights based upon the income derived by the firm from each of these countries. The problem with this approach is that the weights will change over time if income is growing at different rates in different countries. (This is generally used while valuing company on a consolidated/ aggregated basis) II nd Use the marginal tax rate of the country in which the company is incorporated, with the implicit assumption being that the income generated in other countries will eventually have to be repatriated to the country of origin, at which point the firm will have to pay the marginal tax rate. This assumes that the home country has the highest marginal tax rate of all other countries. III rd The third and safest approach is to keep the income from each country separate and apply a different marginal tax rate to each income stream. (This is generally used while valuing company on a stand-alone/ disaggregated basis) Indé Global Inc. is the US independently owned member firm of KNAV International Limited, a network of international accounting firms. 18

26 STEP 4: Estimate future cash flows and value Disaggregated valuation We have assumed that all of the divisions, other than UTC Fire and Security, will be able to maintain their current returns on capital and reinvestment rates for the next five years. With UTC Fire and Security, we assume that the firm is already in stable growth, since its growth rate (3.15%) is close to the stable growth rate (3%) and that its return on capital will be equal to the cost of capital. Equipped with these expected growth rates and costs of capital, we first compute the expected free cash flows, by division, for the high growth phase/ Business Country EBIT (1-t) Expected growth rate Reinvestment Rate Present value WACC Carrier USA % 43.28% , % Pratt & Whitney UK 1, % 57.89% ,076 3, % Otis Brazil 1, % 18.06% 1,340 1,426 1,518 1,616 1,720 5, % UTC Fire & Security Bangladesh % 52.28% % Hamilton Sundstrand Canada % 38.29% , % Sikorsky Mexico % % (10) (12) (13) (15) (17) (48) 11.87% Note that there are no high growth cash flows for UTC, since it is assumed to be in stable growth. We then estimate the value at the end of the high growth phase for each firm Business Country EBIT (1-t) Stable growth rate Stable ROC Stable Reinvestment rate (g/roc) Terminal value Carrier USA 1, % 8.25% 36.36% 13,597 Pratt & Whitney UK 2, % 12.00% 25.00% 36,053 Otis Brazil 2, % 14.00% 21.43% 15,037 UTC Fire & Security Bangladesh % 9.24% 32.47% 3,551 Hamilton Sundstrand Canada % 9.58% 31.32% 9,563 Sikorsky Mexico % 12.11% 24.77% 4,926 Indé Global Inc. is the US independently owned member firm of KNAV International Limited, a network of international accounting firms. 25

This is about 8% higher than the value that we obtained for the operating assets in the last illustration, where we valued IACC on an aggregated basis, of $57,442 million.

28 STEP 5: Get from firm value to equity value per share Add cash Subtract out debt Add in values of cross holdings Indé Global Inc. is the US independently owned member firm of KNAV International Limited, a network of international accounting firms. 27

29 STEP 6: Decide whether you want to adjust the value of equity for other factors Discount on estimated value Apply a conglomerate discount Estimate the discount at which the complex firms trade at in the market place relative to simpler firms. Measure complexity directly and estimate a discount based on complexity Use a complexity scoring system and relate the score to the size of the discount. Positive adjustment to estimated value Determine whether the firm would be worth more if it were broken up into independent businesses.
