Introduction
In order to carry out XYZ’s valuation, e-Valora has used contrasted, generally accepted valuation
methodologies: the Discounted Cash Flows methodology (DCF), the Multiples of Trading Comparable
Companies methodology and the Multiples of Private Transactions methodology. The application of each of
these methodologies, results in a specific valuation range for XYZ. In order to establish an estimated valuation
range for the company, e-Valora calculates a weighted average of the results of the different methodologies,
where the different weights are estimated using its own criteria and experience. We believe that the use of
all of these methodologies improves the reliability of the valuation obtained given that they are
complementary. Furthermore, it allows us to contrast the results of one and other (including the basic
assumptions made).
In the case of the DCF methodology, the assumptions that are considered are based on e-Valora’s estimates.
Such information allows a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the current and expected future situation of
XYZ.
If the strategy carried out by the Company in the future is different from the one that has been considered
according to the information provided by the Client, or if such information differs from reality, our view about
the value of XYZ would vary accordingly.
Each of the methodologies mentioned take into account the information of XYZ in a different way, providing a
complementary view of the company’s value.

trough this methodology in the company’s final valuation are low for the reasons that have been previously explained.
COMPANY'S VALUATION RANGE USING MULTIPLES OF PRIVATE TRANSACTIONS 162.226 179.303 Euros

Taking into account the results obtained using the different methodologies described, and considering that our reference
methodology is the DCF (with a weight of 85%, compared to 10% for the multiples of Trading Comparable Companies
methodology and the 5% of the multiples of Private Transactions methodology), we obtain an average value, to which we
apply a reliability range of +/- 5%.
Taking into account such assumptions, we conclude that the final valuation range for XYZ is the following : between
247.163 and 273.180 Euros.
To calculate the market value of XYZ’s shares (Equity Value), the company’s net debt (it shows a company's overall debt
situation by netting the value of a company's liabilities and debts with its cash and other similar liquid assets) at the
moment of the valuation has to be subtracted from the enterprise value previously calculated.
Based on the historical data provided by the company, and considering the company’s net debt as of December of 2008
(1,669,850 Euros), the valuation range of the its Equity would be of between 179.357 y 205.374 Euros.

The cost of capital is equal to the weighted average of the cost of debt and equity
When valuing XYZ, the WACC has been calculated as the mean of the WACC of other companies that operate in the same industry
In the following table we detail how such discount rate has been calculated:
The calculated and adjusted discount rate is of 15,0%. A 5% has been added to such rate to take into consideration the company’s risk premium given
that it is smaller than its comparables, its equity has no liquidity and its turnover is very concentrated.

Intangible Assets or Intangible Fixed Asset: Non-physical assets such as franchises, trademarks, patents, copyrights, goodwill,
shares, securities and contracts (as distinguished from physical assets) that grant rights and privileges.
Tangible Assets or Tangible Fixed Asset: Physical assets (such as machinery, property, etc).
Amortization: Accounting procedure that gradually reduces the cost of value of an asset, tangible or intangible, (e.g.
investments in research & development), through periodic charges to the profit and loss account in order to fix the costs during
its estimated useful life.
Trading Comparable Companies: Those enterprises whose business value is obtained through methods that compare the
company to be valued to similar enterprises. It is calculated dividing the market value of the last ones by a financial magnitude
of the companies’ profit and loss account (such as net income, net sales, etc). When multiplying by the same enterprise’s
magnitude of the company to be valued, we will obtain its approximate value.
Balance Sheet: Statement of a company’s financial position at a given point in time. Lists the assets of a company and how
they have been financed. Total assets is equivalent to liabilities plus shareholders’ equity.
Cost of Supplies: Cost related to the production, supply, transport and storage of raw materials and the materials used in the
production process. In this section can also be included the cost of outsourcing services to provide the customer.
Profit and Loss Account: Financial statement that shows the expenses and revenues generated during a period of time.
Weighted Average Cost of Capital: Calculated as the cost of equity * (equity value / firm value) + cost of debt * (net debt /
firm value) * (1- corporate tax). It is a discount rate typically used to discount future free cash flows to the moment of
valuation.
Discounted Cash Flows (DCF): Company’s valuation method based on the idea that the value of a company is related to what it
is able to generate in the future. It is calculated as the future cash flows of a company, discounted back to present value using
an appropriate discount rate.
Net Debt: Total debt of the company minus any cash or liquid funds that the company has but does not require for its operating
activity.
