18 Valuation DCF, Trading Comparables and LBO Location Level Sydney Core Skills No. of days 2 Time 9:00am 5:00pm Price USD 1,330 Description Delegates learn how to build a discounted cash flow valuation model. The session starts with an overview of the valuation methodology, and the steps required in setting up a valuation model. We then focus on the calculation of free cash flow. A detailed ratio analysis is used to establish the reasonableness of the forecasts and to identify when the target company reaches steady state. We analyze the weighted average cost of capital, calculate terminal values, using both the exit multiple method and the perpetuity growth method. We discount the free cash flows to arrive at enterprise values and calculate the implied share price. Once the valuation is complete delegates perform several checks on the analysis using key ratios, and sensitivity and scenario analysis. The session focuses on the details of comparable company analysis. Multiples are calculated on both a historical and forecasted basis and delegates will assess the value of the case company based on a given set of comparables. Public information books (PIBs) are used throughout the session. Delegates are introduced to the basic concepts underlying leveraged buyouts. The session starts by establishing why private equity firms can create value through leveraged buyouts and how the levered valuation fits into the valuation roadmap. Using a simple free cash flow forecast, delegates establish how much a financial buyer could pay for the target company. Delegates then build a simple LBO model. Learning outcomes Examine the concepts of enterprise value and equity value Examine the comparables, the data where it is found and how it used Discuss some of the most commonly used multiples Calculate free cash flows and discount them Learn how to calculate the value LBO valuation as an alternative valuation methodology PUBLIC COURSES / 18

20 Credit Risk Location Level Hong Kong Advanced Skills No. of days 3 Time 9:00am 5:00pm Price USD 2,000 Description Delegates gain an understanding of the credit rating process by examining the assessment of both operational and financial risks of the business. By the end of the session, delegates derive a rating for a case company. This program analyzes the financials from the credit perspective, making technical adjustments to the main numbers to accurately reflect the creditworthiness of a company, project or going concern. In addition, the session covers debt structuring issues. In the context of writing an investment/ credit approval case, delegates incorporate the key concepts of credit analysis, credit/ investment documentation, syndication/ hold recommendations/issues, financial modeling and scenario management. Each of the concepts introduced in class generate the building blocks a realistic credit memo/investment recommendation. Delegates will work in groups alongside the instructor to write a credit case and ultimately deliver a recommendation to the credit committee/instructor. This module focuses on the analysis of companies that are solvent, but might become distressed should trading or financing circumstances deteriorate. We focus on operating cash flow dynamics (e.g. cash conversion), capital structure issues (e.g. understanding structural issues and assessing refinancing risk) and valuation implications (both for equity and debt). The options available to companies to avoid financial distress are also reviewed. Two case studies are used for practical application throughout the session. The focus is different from classic credit courses in using only the most relevant credit tools, not focusing on credit rating agencies, and including loan documentation, thus may be more relevant to practitioners who do not need a full suite of credit tools, just the tools for diagnosing degrees of stress. Learning outcomes Gain an understanding of the credit rating process Structure an investment/credit approval case Indicators/issues for potentially stressed companies PUBLIC COURSES / 20
