Valuation question - EV to equity
Hi fellow monkeys,
I'm struggling with valuation of projects. Assume I'm building a factory. The NPV of the FCFF is, say, 100. This value is the enterprise value. How do I go to equity value from here? Is it merely subtracting the capex? Say the capex is 50. Is the equity value then 50?
Lmfao, if you haven't already substracted CapEx how did you compute FCFF in the first place ?
Maybe help him instead just making comments.
No, you have to subtract net debt to get the equity value. You use FCFF in order to calculate the cash flow, which is available to equity & debt provider/holder. Hence, discounting it with the WACC (which considers equity and debt in its concept) you get the enterprise value. (Equity value + Net Debt)
You (hopefully) already considered capex in your FCFF calculation, so no need to double consider it here.
Thanks!
I've already included the capex in the FCFF. As the project is stand-alone the net debt in year 0 is 0. Does that mean that the NPV of FCFF = Enterprise value = equity value?
Depends if there is cash in the company, but if the company is 0 debt and 0 cash, then equity value = enterprise value. In this case FCFF = FCFE.
If it´s more like a "project finance" case, you could also look into this with another angle and (if required) calc. an IRR for the project, in order to compare between different projects (which is also possible with NPV) and also compare, if your cost of capital are higher or lower then the expected returns.
Super, thank you so much!
