The “GRAPES” of Value
» G It is a growth world
» R It is a world of risk and reward
» A It is an alternative investment world
» P It is a present value world
» E It is an expectational world
» S It is a sane, rational and reasonable world

A Closer Look
» Cost / Asset Methods
Net Asset Value (tangible)
Excess Earnings Method (tangible & intangible)
Why is an asset-based method important?
»Enterprise value equals tangible value PLUS intangible value
![Page 20: Demistifying Distributorship Valuation Oct 3 2010 Trl (Overheads)](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061605/557c5106d8b42a67358b52d2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Key Factors
» Value of hard assets?
» Tax considerations?
» Off-balance sheet costs or assets?
» Direct vs. indirect
Distributor rights value (enterprise value less tangible asset value)

» Which profit measure is used?

Assets (WACC)
» Growth rate
» 1 ÷ (Rate of Return – Growth Rate)

Growth Rate
» Different measures of cash flow grow at different rates (EBITDA, EBIT, Net Income)
» There is no single “growth rate”
» A growth rate in one method may not apply in another method

What Is a Buy-Sell Agreement?
Buy-sell agreements are agreements by and between the shareholders (or equity partners of whatever legal description) of a privately owned business and, perhaps, the business itself that establish the mechanism for the purchase of stock following the death (or other adverse changes) of one of the owners. In the case of corporate joint ventures, they also establish the value for break-ups or for circumstances calling for one corporate venture partner to buy out the other partner.
![Page 41: Demistifying Distributorship Valuation Oct 3 2010 Trl (Overheads)](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061605/557c5106d8b42a67358b52d2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Buy-Sell Agreements
Require agreement at a point in time
Relate to transactions that will or may occur at future points in time
Define the conditions that “trigger” the buy-sell provisions
Determine the price(s) at which the specified future transactions will occur

Three Questions to Ask Yourself
Do you have a buy-sell
agreement?
If so, what type of agreement is it?
Do you know what your buy-sell
agreement says?
There are six defining elements that must be
in every process agreement if you want the valuation process
and, therefore, the agreement, to work
How is your buy-sell agreement
funded?
How life insurance proceeds are treated
can make a big difference in the valuation of the
company
