Valuation methodsaccording to the specific features of each project
Valuation Multiples
This is the most widely used method, and also the simplest. The EBITDA multiple is the most common. Next come operating income, gross margin, sales or profit multiples. In some sectors, other business elements may be used, such as multiple of engineers, customers or points of sale.
DCF (Discounted Cash Flow)
DCF (discounted cash flow) is the sum of future cash flows discounted to the present. The discount rate decreases with risk: sector of activity or business, level of sales, legal status are all analyzed.
Net Asset Value
Net asset value is an accounting method that recalculates the balance sheet at the valuation analysis date. Balance sheet assets and liabilities are revalued at their market value. It is an asset-based valuation of the accounting balance sheet, which does not take into account goodwill or future value creation.
Financing Method
Complementary to the previous methods, it enables us to evaluate the price of a company by taking into account the maximum amount of debt that the company can raise. This makes it possible to value the company's profitability, and therefore the future cash flows that will be used to repay the debt.
