duduct minorities interest from FCFF

When I do valuation I use FCFF which calculate from NOPAT (net operating profit after tax). It mean minorities interest are included in FCFF. so when I discount FCFF to present, this present value still have a part of minorities interest. Please kindly help me the way to deduct the minorities interest to evaluate price for only equity shareholder

Many Many thanks for your helps!

If the FCF you use contains the cash flows that the minority interest would have claim to (e.g. FCFF), then you need to deduct the value of minority interest as one of the steps when going from the PV of FCF to equity value. If you calculate the FCF just for the equity holders after minority interest, then you would not need to deduct anything from the PV of cash flows to get to equity value.

The concept is analogous to interest and debt claims. If you calculate FCF before interest (e.g. FCFF), then you would need to subtract the value of debt when going from PV of FCF to equity value. If you calculate FCF after interest (e.g. FCFE), then you would not need to subtract debt claims.

 

I'm not even entirely sure what you are asking, but it seems like you have several concepts confounded, so:

1) There are only two types of FCF Calculations: levered & unlevered.

UFCF (cash flow to both equity investors & debt holders): EBIT * (1-tax rate) + (decrease in working capital) OR - (increase in working capital) - Capital expenditures

LFCF (cash flow to equity investors, after interest & principal repayment): CFO - Capital expenditures - portion of principal repayment

Now as minority interest stands, by definition it is the remaining, non-majority (50%) stake that the parent company down not own in the subsidiary(s). By virtue of the parent being a majority stakeholder in the subsidiary, that means the income statement will be a consolidated income statement and reflect the entire profitability of all majority owned subsidiaries over that period of time. This renders the fact that there is a "large minority interest" a moot point, because large or small, the income statement will still be consolidated.
