PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Corporate Valuation Professional includes everything you need to analyze a company, estimate future earnings, select appropriate risk and investment rates and prepare an impressive, fully documented valuation report that can be edited in Microsoft Word.

The system was designed to conform to PPC's Guide to Business Valuations authored by Shannon P. Pratt, Jay E. Fishman, J. Clifford Griffith, D. Keith Wilson and Stanton L. Meltzer, recognized leaders in the field of business valuation.


HISTORIC ANALYSIS

  •    Fully-linked, line-item projections of the Income Statements, Balance Sheets, Statements of Cash Flows, Statements of Retained Earnings and Sources & Uses of Funds are created for 1 to 10 years.
  •    Income Statement projection options include regression trend-line, historic average growth, manual constant growth, historic percent of sales, manual percent of sales and manual dollar value inputs.
  •    The base amount for each Income Statement account can be adjusted as needed.
  •    Projected income taxes are estimated based on corporate tax tables or effective tax rates.
  •    Net Operating Loss carryforward is automatically deducted as projected income permits.
  •    Common Dividends are calculated as either a percent of net income and
  •    Preferred Dividends as a percent of the preferred stock balance, or enter dividends manually.
  •    Accounts Receivable, Inventory and Accounts Payable can be projected using historically calculated turnover ratios, manual turnover ratios or dollar amounts. hat includes short-term, long-term, equity and equity kickers.
  •    The amount of Fixed Assets required to sustain revenue growth is estimated. Assets can be purchased and disposed of in any projected year. The effect of asset purchases and disposals is automatically calculated along with depreciation using straight-line or accelerated methods.
  •    Fixed asset purchases can be financed, in whole or in part, during any projected year with changes to the projected financial statements calculated automatically.
  •    Short-term and long-term notes are amortized with flexible payment options including normal amortization or direct reduction, interest and principal deferrals and balloon payments that are calculated automatically.
  •    Goodwill and other intangibles are amortized over any term.
  •    Key income statement and balance sheet figures are summarized and presented for each projected year.



  • BUSINESS VALUATION

  •    Valuation approaches include asset, income, market comparable and other approaches.
  •    The Asset Approach includes the following methods: Book Value, Net Asset Value and Liquidation Value.
  •    The Income Approach includes the following methods: Capitalization of Earnings and Discounted Future Earnings.
  •    The Market Comparable Approach includes the following methods: Price to Earnings, Price to Revenue, Price to Cash Flow from Operations, Price to Gross Cash Flow, Price to Dividends, Price to Book Value, Price to Net Asset Value, Price to Total Assets and Price to Equity.
  •    The Other Approach includes the following methods: Capitalization of Excess Earnings and Multiple of Discretionary Earnings.
  •    The Preferred Stock Valuation method estimates the value of any preferred stock based on the market yield of the preferred stocks of comparable companies.
  •    Includes discount and capitalization rate models for both net-of-debt and debt-free earnings. Discount and capitalization rates are based on either the Build-Up method or the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) method.
  •    Includes options for Control Premiums, Minority Discounts, Marketability Discounts and partial interest valuations.
  •    Valuation earnings base options include Normalized Net Income, EBT, EBIT, EBITDA, Net Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow with weighting options for each historic year.
  •    A valuation summary lists each method used and the respective value, which can be weighted and averaged to arrive at a total equity value.



  • VALUATION REVIEW

  •    Includes an "economic reality test" of your conclusion of value. As you set hypothetical purchase terms including the amount of equity and the required return, and the amount and payment terms of up to four levels of acquisition debt, a "real time monitor" gives you instant feedback.
  •    Key measures of operating performance and Return on Investment performance for the hypothetical transaction terms are provided as part of the economic reality test.
  •    Also included are flexible Rules of Thumb that allow you to use any combination of multiples of earnings, assets, and user-defined multiples to determine the reasonableness of the values indicated by the other methods.

  •    A Completion Status Checklist tracks your progress through each section of the program.
  •    Includes built-in spell-checking capability.
  •    Export feature allows you to export any of the supporting schedules to delimited text files for further manipulation in external applications.
  •    Built-in file compression and decompression for easier transportation of your data files.
  •    The send function allows you to easily send selected files via email.
  •    Includes comprehensive, context-sensitive help for every screen in the program.



  • FINANCIAL REPORT BUILDER™

    Included with Corporate Valuation Professional, the Financial Report Builder links the numeric analysis with a pre-formatted valuation report narrative that automatically documents the analysis for you using Microsoft Word.

    The Financial Report Builder is "smart" enough to know what analysis you actually performed and describes the results of the analysis. Both the templates and generated reports are fully customizable using Microsoft Word.
