Today we’re going to walk through one way to estimate the intrinsic value of Excellence Commercial Property & Facilities Management Group Limited (HKG: 6989) by taking expected future cash flows and discounting them to present value. The DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) model is the tool we will apply to do this. There really isn’t much to do, although it might seem quite complex.

We would like to point out that there are many ways to assess a business and, like DCF, each technique has advantages and disadvantages in certain scenarios. For those who are learning equity analysis in depth, the Simply Wall St analysis template here may be of interest to you.

The calculation

We use the 2-step growth model, which simply means that we take into account two stages of business growth. During the initial period, the business can have a higher growth rate and the second stage is usually assumed to have a stable growth rate. To begin with, we need to estimate the next ten years of cash flow. Where possible, we use analyst estimates, but when these are not available, we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or the last reported value. We assume that companies with decreasing free cash flow will slow their withdrawal rate, and companies with increasing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow during this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow down more in the early years than in the later years.

A DCF is based on the idea that a dollar in the future is worth less than a dollar today, and therefore the sum of these future cash flows is then discounted to present value:

(“East” = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)
10-year present value of cash flow (PVCF) = 3.3 billion yen

Now we need to calculate the terminal value, which takes into account all future cash flows after that ten year period. For a number of reasons, a very conservative growth rate is used that cannot exceed that of a country’s GDP growth. In this case, we used the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield (1.5%) to estimate future growth. Similar to the 10-year “growth” period, we discount future cash flows to present value, using a cost of equity of 7.3%.

Terminal value (TV)= FCF2030 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = CN Â¥ 502m × (1 + 1.5%) ÷ (7.3% – 1.5%) = CN Â¥ 8.8b

Present value of terminal value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)ten= CN ¥ 8.8b ÷ (1 + 7.3%)ten= 4.4 billion yen

The total value is the sum of the cash flows for the next ten years plus the present terminal value, which gives the total value of equity, which in this case is 7.7 billion yen. In the last step, we divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Compared to the current share price of HK $ 9.9, the company looks potentially overvalued at the time of writing. The assumptions in any calculation have a big impact on the valuation, so it’s best to take this as a rough estimate, not precise down to the last penny.

The hypotheses

Now the most important data for a discounted cash flow is the discount rate and, of course, the actual cash flow. If you don’t agree with these results, try the calculation yourself and play with the assumptions. The DCF also does not take into account the possible cyclicality of an industry or the future capital needs of a company, so it does not give a complete picture of a company’s potential performance. Since we view Excellence Commercial Property & Facilities Management Group as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which takes into account the debt. In this calculation, we used 7.3%, which is based on a leveraged beta of 1.071. Beta is a measure of the volatility of a stock, relative to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business.

Looking forward:

While a business valuation is important, ideally it won’t be the only analysis you review for a business. The DCF model is not a perfect inventory valuation tool. Instead, the best use of a DCF model is to test certain assumptions and theories to see if they would lead to undervaluation or overvaluation of the company. If a business grows at a different rate, or if its cost of equity or risk-free rate changes sharply, output can be very different. What is the reason why the stock price exceeds intrinsic value?
