Valuation methodology

A model built specifically for each company, in four stages, based on the market’s benchmark methodologies: discounted cash flow and comparable multiples.

  1. Diagnosis

    Analysis of historical financial statements, EBITDA normalization and interviews with management.

  2. Modeling

    Earnings and cash flow projections and a company-specific cost of capital (WACC).

  3. Validation

    Discounted cash flow and multiples compared to define and validate the value range.

  4. Report

    Valuation report with documented assumptions and calculations, suitable for shareholders, investors or the courts.

Discounted Cash Flow

Projection of the company’s free cash flows, discounted to present value at the weighted average cost of capital (WACC).

Illustrative: projected cash flows, discounted to present value and added to the terminal value.

Trading and transaction multiples

Multiples observed in listed companies and comparable transactions, applied to metrics such as EBITDA and revenue.

Illustrative: the company being valued positioned against comparable companies and transactions.
