The Four Steps to Understanding Multiples Define the multiple
In use, the same multiple can be defined in different ways bydifferent users. When comparing and using multiples, estimatedby someone else, it is critical that we understand how themultiples have been estimated
Describe the multiple Too many people who use a multiple have no idea what its
cross sectional distribution is. If you do not know what thecross sectional distribution of a multiple is, it is difficult to look at anumber and pass judgment on whether it is too high or low .
Analyze the multiple It is critical that we understand the fundamentals that drive each
multiple, and the nature of the relationship between the multipleand each variable.
Apply the multiple Defining the comparable universe and controlling for differences is
far more difficult in practice than it is in theory.

Descriptive Tests What is the mean and standard deviation for this multiple,
across the universe (market)? What is the median for this multiple?
The median for this multiple is often a more reliablecomparison point.
How large are the outliers to the distribution, and how do wedeal with the outliers? Throwing out the outliers may seem like an obvious solution,
but if the outliers all lie on one side of the distribution (they
usually are large positive numbers), this can lead to a biasedestimate. Are there cases where the multiple cannot be estimated? Will
ignoring these cases lead to a biased estimate of the multiple?
How has this multiple changed over time?

Application Tests what is a comparable
firm?
While traditional analysis is built on the premise thatfirms in the same sector are comparable firms,valuation theory would suggest that a comparablefirm is one which is similar to the one beinganalyzed in terms of fundamentals.
Proposition 4: There is no reason why a firmcannot be compared with another firm in a verydifferent business, if the two firms have thesame risk, growth and cash flow characteristics.
Given the comparable firms, how do we adjust fordifferences across firms on the fundamentals? Proposition 5: It is impossible to find an exactly
identical firm to the one you are valuing.

Price Earnings Ratio: DefinitionPE = Market Price per Share / Earnings per Share
There are a number of variants on the basic PE ratio in use.They are based upon how the price and the earnings aredefined.
Price: is usually the current price
is sometimes the average price for the year EPS: Consensus earnings per share in the current (most
recent) Financial yearearnings per share in trailing 12 months (most
recent four quarters) (Trailing PE)forecasted earnings per share next year ( ForwardPE ) forecasted earnings per share in future yearRolling P/E

PE Ratio and Fundamentals Proposition: Other things held equal, higher growth
firms will have higher PE ratios than lower growthfirms.
Proposition: Other things held equal, higher riskfirms will have lower PE ratios than lower risk firms
Proposition: Other things held equal, firms withlower reinvestment needs will have higher PE ratiosthan firms with higher reinvestment rates.
Of course, other things are difficult to hold equal sincehigh growth firms, tend to have risk and highreinvestment rates.

Using the Fundamental Model to EstimatePE For a High Growth Firm
The price-earnings ratio for a high growth firm can also berelated to fundamentals. In the special case of the two-stagedividend discount model, this relationship can be made explicitfairly simply:
For a firm that does not pay what it can afford to individends, substitute FCFE/Earnings for the payout ratio.
Dividing both sides by the earnings per share:
P 0 =
EPS 0 * Payout Ratio*(1+g)* 1 (1+ g) n
(1+r) n
r - g+
EPS 0 * Payout Ratio n *(1+g)n *(1+g n )
(r-g n )(1+ r)n
P0EPS 0
=
Payout Ratio * (1 + g) * 1 (1 + g)n
(1+ r) n
r - g+
Payout Ratio n *(1+g)n *(1+ g n )
(r - g n )(1+ r)n

Expanding the Model In this model, the PE ratio for a high growth firm
is a function of growth, risk and payout ,exactly the same variables that it was a functionof for the stable growth firm.
The only difference is that these inputs have tobe estimated for two phases - the high growthphase and the stable growth phase.
Expanding to more than two phases, say thethree stage model , will mean that risk, growthand cash flow patterns in each stage.

Investment Strategies that comparePE to the expected growth rate
If we assume that all firms within a sector have similar growthrates and risk, a strategy of picking the lowest PE ratiostock in each sector will yield undervalued stocks.
Portfolio managers and analysts sometimes compare PE ratiosto the expected growth rate to identify under and overvaluedstocks. In the simplest form of this approach, firms with PE ratios
less than their expected growth rate are viewed asundervalued.
In its more general form, the ratio of PE ratio to growth isused as a measure of relative value.

Problems with comparing PE ratios toexpected growth
In its simple form, there is no basis forbelieving that a firm is undervalued justbecause it has a PE ratio less than expectedgrowth.
This relationship may be consistent with afairly valued or even an overvalued firm, ifinterest rates are high, or if a firm is highrisk.
As interest rate decrease (increase), fewer(more) stocks will emerge as undervaluedusing this approach.

PEG Ratio: Definition The PEG ratio is the ratio of price earnings to expected growth in earnings
per share.
PEG = PE / Expected Growth Rate in Earnings Definitional tests:
Is the growth rate used to compute the PEG ratio on the same base? (base year EPS)
over the same period?(2 years, 5 years) from the same source? (analyst projections, consensus estimates..)
Is the earnings used to compute the PE ratio consistent with the growthrate estimate?
No double counting: If the estimate of growth in earnings per share isfrom the current year, it would be a mistake to use forward EPS incomputing PE

Using comparable firms- Pros and Cons The most common approach to estimating the PE ratio for a firm is
to choose a group of comparable firms , to calculate the average PE ratio for this group and to subjectively adjust this average for differences between the firm
being valued and the comparable firms.
Problems with this approach. The definition of a 'comparable ' firm is essentially a subjective
one. The use of other firms in the industry as the control group is often
not a solution because firms within the same industry can havevery different business mixes and risk and growth profiles.
Even when a legitimate group of comparable firms can beconstructed, differences will continue to persist in fundamentalsbetween the firm being valued and this group.

Problems with the regressionmethodology
The basic regression assumes a linear relationship between PE ratios and the financial proxies, and thatmight not be appropriate.
The basic relationship between PE ratios and financial
variables itself might not be stable , and if it shifts fromyear to year, the predictions from the model may not bereliable.
The independent variables are correlated with each other.
For example, high growth firms tend to have high risk. Thismulti-collinearity makes the coefficients of theregressions unreliable and may explain the large changesin these coefficients from period to period.

PEG Ratios and Fundamentals
Risk and payout, which affect PE ratios,continue to affect PEG ratios as well. Implication: When comparing PEG ratios
across companies, we are making implicit orexplicit assumptions about these variables.
Dividing PE by expected growth does not
neutralize the effects of expected growth,since the relationship between growth andvalue is not linear and fairly complex (even
in a 2-stage model)

PEG Ratios and Fundamentals: Propositions Proposition 1: High risk companies will trade at much lower PEG
ratios than low risk companies with the same expected growthrate. Corollary 1: The company that looks most under valued on a
PEG ratio basis in a sector may be the riskiest firm in the sector Proposition 2: Companies that can attain growth more efficiently
by investing less in better return projects will have higher PEGratios than companies that grow at the same rate less efficiently. Corollary 2: Companies that look cheap on a PEG ratio basis
may be companies with high reinvestment rates and poor
project returns.

Relative PE: Definition
The relative PE ratio of a firm is the ratio of the PE of the firm tothe PE of the market.
Relative PE = PE of Firm / PE of Market While the PE can be defined in terms of current earnings,
trailing earnings or forward earnings, consistency requires thatit be estimated using the same measure of earnings for boththe firm and the market.
Relative PE ratios are usually compared over time. Thus, a firmor sector which has historically traded at half the market PE(Relative PE = 0.5) is considered over valued if it is trading at arelative PE of 0.7.

Relative PE: DistributionalStatistics
The average relative PE is always one. The median relative PE is much lower,
since PE ratios are skewed towards highervalues. Thus, more companies trade at PEratios less than the market PE and haverelative PE ratios less than one.

Value/Earnings and Value/CashflowRatios
While Price earnings ratios look at the market value of equity relative to
earnings to equity investors, Value earnings ratios look at the market valueof the firm relative to operating earnings. Value to cash flow ratios modify theearnings number to make it a cash flow number.
The form of value to cash flow ratios that has the closest parallels in DCF
valuation is the value to Free Cash Flow to the Firm, which is defined as:
Value/FCFF = (Market Value of Equity + Market Value of Debt-Cash)EBIT (1-t) - (Cap Ex - Deprecn) - Chg in WC
Consistency Tests: If the numerator is net of cash (or if net debt is used, then the interest
income from the cash should not be in denominator The interest expenses added back to get to EBIT should correspond to
the debt in the numerator. If only long term debt is considered, only long
term interest should be added back.

Reasons for Increased Use of Value/EBITDA1. The multiple can be computed even for firms that are reporting net
losses, since earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation areusually positive.
2. For firms in certain industries, such as Telecom, Power etc. whichrequire a substantial investment in infrastructure and long gestationperiods, this multiple seems to be more appropriate than the
price/earnings ratio.3. In leveraged buyouts, where the key factor is cash generated by the
firm prior to all discretionary expenditures, the EBITDA is themeasure of cash flows from operations that can be used to supportdebt payment at least in the short term.

but not in the denominator)
The No-Cash Version
When cash and marketable securities are netted out of
value, none of the income from the cash and securitiesshould be reflected in the denominator. Be careful if you have a X% equity holding, then adjust both
the numerator and denominator!!

Firm value can be written as:
The numerator can be written as follows:
FCFF = EBIT (1-t) - (Cex - Depr) - Working Capital

Price-Book Value Ratio:Definition
The price/book value ratio is the ratio of the market value ofequity to the book value of equity, i.e., the measure ofshareholders
equity in the balance sheet. Price/Book Value = Market Value of Equity
Book Value of Equity Consistency Tests:
If the market value of equity refers to the market value ofequity of common stock outstanding, the book value ofcommon equity should be used in the denominator.
If there is more that one class of common stockoutstanding, the market values of all classes (even thenon-traded classes) needs to be factored in.

Going back to a simple dividend discountmodel,
Defining the (expected) return on equity (ROE)= EPS 1 / Book Value of Equity, the value ofequity can be written as:
P 0 =DPS1r g n
P 0 = BV 0 * ROE * Payout Ratio * (1 + gn )

Another Presentation This formulation can be simplified even further by relating
growth to the return on equity:g = (1 - Payout ratio) * ROE
Substituting back into the P/BV equation,
The price-book value ratio of a stable firm is determined by the
differential between the return on equity and the required rateof return on its projects.

Price Sales Ratios and Profit Margins The key determinant of price-sales ratios is the profit margin.
A decline in profit margins has a two-fold effect. First, the reduction in profit margins reduces the price-salesratio directly.
Second, the lower profit margin can lead to lower growth and
hence lower price-sales ratios.Expected growth rate = Retention ratio * Return on Equity= Retention Ratio *(Net Profit / Sales) * ( Sales / BV of
Equity)
= Retention Ratio * Profit Margin * Sales/BV of Equity

Choosing Between the Multiples

8/10/2019 1 Relative Valuation
87/91
Choosing Between the Multiples As presented in this section, there are dozens of multiples that can
be potentially used to value an individual firm. In addition, relative valuation can be relative to a sector (or
comparable firms) or to the entire market (using the regressions, forinstance)
Since there can be only one final estimate of value, there are threechoices at this stage: Use a simple average of the valuations obtained using a number
of different multiples Use a weighted average of the valuations obtained using a
number of different multiples Choose one of the multiples (that best suites your purpose) and
base your valuation on that multiple
Averaging Across Multiples
-
8/10/2019 1 Relative Valuation

Averaging Across Multiples This procedure involves valuing a firm using
five or six or more multiples and then taking anaverage of the valuations across thesemultiples.
This is completely inappropriate since itaverages good estimates with poor onesequally.
If some of the multiples are
sector based
andsome are
market based
, this will alsoaverage across two different ways of thinkingabout relative valuation.

This is usually the best way to approach this issue. While a range ofvalues can be obtained from a number of multiples, the
bestestimate value is obtained using one multiple.
The multiple that is used can be chosen in one of two ways: Use the multiple that best fits your objective. Thus, if you want the
company to be undervalued, you pick the multiple that yields the
highest value. Use the multiple that has the highest R-squared in the sector
when regressed against fundamentals. Thus, if you have tried PE,PBV, PS, etc. and run regressions of these multiples againstfundamentals, use the multiple that works best at explainingdifferences across firms in that sector.
Use the multiple that seems to make the most sense for thatsector, given how value is measured and created.
