INTRINSIC VALUE BASED ON FUTURE CASH FLOWS
Here we compare the current
share
price of
BE Group
to its discounted cash flow analysis.value.The discounted cash flow value is simply looking at what the company is worth today, based on estimates of how much money it is expected to make in the future.
Below are the data sources, inputs and calculation used to determine the intrinsic value for BE Group.
| Data Point | Source | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Valuation Model | 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity | |

Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for OM:BEGR using 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Model
The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for BE Group is arrived at by discounting future cash flows to their present value using the 2 stage method. We try to start with analysts estimates of free cash flow, however if these are not available we use the most recent financial results. In the 1st stage we continue to grow the free cash flow over a 10 year period, with the growth rate trending towards the perpetual growth rate used in the 2nd stage. The 2nd stage assumes the company grows at a stable rate into perpetuity.
Note: Free cash flow to equity valuations ignore the company's cash or debt.

How is BE Group's financial health and their level of debt?
A company's financial position is much like your own financial position,
it includes everything you own
(assets)
and owe
(liabilities).The boxes below represent the relative size of what makes up BE Group's finances.
The net worth of a company is the difference between its assets and liabilities.
- BE Group is able to meet its short term (1 year) commitments with its holdings of cash and other short term assets.
- BE Group's cash and other short term assets cover its long term commitments.
Balance sheet
Assets
Liabilities and shares
- High level of physical assets or inventory.
- Debt is covered by short term assets, assets are 2.5x debt.
Historical Debt
Nearly all companies have debt. Debt in itself isn’t
bad,
however if the debt is too high, or the company can’t afford to pay the interest
on its debts this may have impacts in the future.The graphic below shows equity (available funds) and debt, we ideally want to see the red area (debt) decreasing.
If there is any debt we look at the companies capability to repay it, and whether the level has increased over the past 5 years.
