Impact of fully diluted market capitalisation on enterprise value

Hello,

I was wondering what was the impact on enterprise value of fully diluted market capitalisation. Please find below a simplified numerical example of my question.

For those using CAPITAL IQ, it looks like they consider in both cases the same market cap to enterprise value bridge (example with TESLA on a spot market cap basis) and I'm trying to understand why.

Thanks a lot for your help

Guys,

Thanks for your answers

My question was regarding taking or not into account in the bridge the additional cash resulting from conversion of the options.

If you consider the market cap increase, shouldn’t you consider a cash increase?

 

Yeah you use the cash so you arrive at 386. Can also try retiring shares with the 24 in cash and will arrive at the same result

 

Yes, exactly. Typically calculate fully diluted shares using treasury stock method which would use the cash to retire the shares. But yes, either way will yield same EV as subtracting the additional cash.

 

Dignissimos modi incidunt nisi ea voluptates nesciunt. Tempora ipsa velit sint a ea. Aut laboriosam quia et dolores fuga et doloribus. Eligendi molestiae id nobis ut non.
