following materials together as your “one-stop shop” for banking how to’s In addition to your group staffing assignments over the next two months, you will also be asked to
complete a group valuation project to be submitted by Week 9 of your program. The submission will include the following:

At the end of the summer, August 2nd, your team will be asked to present, in a short session, your
analyses and conclusions to a team of bankers This project will be completed gradually over the course of the summer and we will be holding 4
sessions (1 every week) to cover each of the topics or analysis we will be asking you to do You will be required to turn in you work for the topic covered each week at the following weeks session
(i.e., you will go over profiles in first session and turn them in at the second session)

Signals of Availability / Lack Thereof Signs of Availability Parent is a LBO sponsor Filed equity offering with large secondary component Previous failed attempt to sell (“busted auction”) or spin-off
(“busted IPO”) Takeover speculation Undervalued, depressed or declining stock price Shareholder activism Potential odd man out in rapidly consolidating industry or
segment Changes in senior management or aging senior management
with no obvious successor Dramatic revisions in corporate strategy Need to expand internationally or to retrench Need for capital Failure or inability to grow new products organically Parent reorganizing or realigning businesses, possibly in
preparation for a sale Division with no logical strategic fit with the parent (“corporate
orphan”)
Signs of Lack of Availability Insiders control a meaningful percent of the stock and have no
evident need for liquidity Family-owned with the next generation preparing or prepared
to assume leadership Majority owned by another company that has obvious reason to
hold onto the business Strong and consistent stock performance The current parent is the most obvious best owner for the
business The current parent has identified the business as a core business and/or the equity market is in favor of current parent owning the business Consider the target’s defensive posture vis-a-vis a hostile offer, but remember … the valuation/rationale must be even more compelling to justify an unsolicited approach Note: It is also important to review the valuation multiples of the publicly-traded Parent Company which owns the “target” subsidiary. If sale proceeds (after tax) imply lower valuation multiples (EBITDA, EBITA and Net Income) than those at which the parent stock is selling, the transaction would be dilutive to overall value and thus would probably be a nonstarter as a sale candidate today
Division underperforming or less profitable than core business

Summer Assignment – Equity Comps For your assignment, you are to submit an Equity Comp output page for Knight Ridder AS OF THE
DATE OF THE ACQUISITION (3/10/06) You must first find comparable companies. For this project, you need only Knight Ridder
Corporation and three comparable companies
Include McClatchy Company and New York Times Co as comps and find one comp on your own Input ABACUS shells for these comps using FactSet, the companies’ financials and Wall Street
research to find the following multiples:
2006E and 2007EV/revenue 2006E and 2007E EV/EBITDA 2006E and 2007E EV/EBIT 2006E and 2007E P/E 2006E and 2007E EBITDA margins
When necessary, make sure to calendarize the financials Make sure to check your output and see if something looks abnormal
If so, you’ve likely made a mistake

Summer Assignment – Equity Comps (Cont’d) Helpful Hint #1: If you’ve inserted your data properly into the input pages, ABACUS will generate a formatted and linked output page for you: Go to ABACUS / New Summary Sheet / Forward Multiple Analysis Helpful Hint #2: The output page converts all currencies to US$. If you are using a foreign company, make sure you input the proper exchange rate in the appropriate section of the shell Key Takeaways At the end of this section, you should be able to answer the following:
1. On what basis did you choose your one other comparable? 2. In retrospect, are they “good” comps? Why or why not? 3. How is Knight Ridder trading relative to its peer group? 4. Can you explain its relative valuation? Why does it trade at a premium or discount to its peers? Think of its relative earnings, margins, market share, size, etc.
5. What does this mean to a potential buyer?

CONFIDENTIAL
What Are Equity Comps and Why Do We Do Them? A big part of an investment banker’s job is to value companies
More than anything else, clients want to know what their companies are worth – especially relative to their peers One way to value companies is to infer (or compare) their value based on the public trading
values of other companies with similar characteristics Because not all companies are the same size or have the same capital structure, we need to
establish universal metrics that can apply to all companies within a group
These metrics almost always take the form of a ratio or “multiple”, where the numerator is a measure of trading value (Enterprise Value; Market Value) and the denominator is an operating statistic (EBITDA, Net Income)
The most common metrics are Enterprise Value / EBITDA and Market Value / Net Income (or P/E) The calculation and interpretation of these metrics is a Comparable Company Analysis, or
Compco Analysis Helpful Hint: The right terminology for this analysis is the Comparable Company Analysis, but since bankers like to complicate matters, this analysis is referred to differently by each group. Don’t get confused if you’re asked to do equity comps, compcos, comps, and a comparable company analysis all in one night: They all mean the same thing!

\\nnyc14p20005\training\_summer analysts\Scheduled Credit Suisse Presentations\Valuation Project Overview (TRAINING LEADERS)\2007 Summer Analyst Valuation Book.ppt /35

OK, So What Are Enterprise and Equity Value? Enterprise Value is the total dollar value of a business, represented by the sum of all of the
ownership interests in the business
Note: Enterprise Value is sometimes referred to as Adjusted Market Value, Firm Value or (in early-stage biotech) Technology Value In broad terms, there are two types of ownership interests in a business – Debt and Equity
The public market value of a business’ equity is referred to as its equity value, market value or market capitalization We calculate a business’ Enterprise Value by summing the public market values of its debt and
equity
Caveat: Because the trading value of debt securities is less volatile than equity securities, we typically use the book value of debt rather than the market value to save time Enterprise Value is an important measure because it makes companies with different capital
structures more comparable

Net Debt equals long-term debt + short-term debt + “out of the money” convertible debt + minority interest + preferred stock + capitalized leases – cash and cash equivalents. The proper way to calculate Equity Value is to use the diluted number of shares outstanding, which includes all “in the money” and exercisable stock options.

Fair Enough, But Help Me With This EBITDA Thing EBITDA is an accounting measure of how much cash flow a business generates from its
operations EBITDA excludes interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization because these items vary
from company to company – for reasons which generally do not impact value – making them harder to compare on a consistent basis
Interest is a function of capital structure Taxes are a function of incorporation and tax structure Depreciation is a function of depreciation policy / asset lives Amortization is a function of how acquisitive a company has been EBITDA = Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization We place emphasis on Enterprise Value / EBITDA because this metric excludes most variables
which do not affect value (or can be easily changed) making companies more comparable for valuation purposes

Let’s Recap The absolute value of a business is expressed by its Enterprise and Equity Value
Enterprise Value is the total value of all ownership interests in a business Equity Value is the value of the equity in a business The relative value of a business is expressed by a “multiple” of its absolute value to its operating
results
“GE is trading at 22x its 2006E projected EBITDA” – Translation: The ratio of GE’s Enterprise Value to its forecasted 2006E EBITDA is 22
“Walmart’s 2006E P/E multiple is 18x” – Translation: The ratio of Walmart’s equity value to its forecasted 2006 net income is 18 Enterprise Value / EBITDA is an important metric because it eliminates non-value impacting
variables which otherwise make companies less comparable Enterprise Value Multiples

2. Diluted Share Calculation / Options and Convertible Debt Schedules In general, Equity Value = Current Stock Price x Basic Shares Outstanding However, most companies have securities which represent contingent shares – meaning they
are not shares today, but can become shares if certain conditions are met – and as a result, we need to make adjustments to basic shares outstanding The most common of these securities are options / warrants
Options are a price right or option granted to management to purchase their company’s stock at a pre-specified or strike price
Management profits if the market price of the stock exceeds the strike price when they exercise the options. Hence, Management is only likely to exercise his/her options under these circumstances Options are reported in the 10-K. Companies typically disclose the number of options that are
outstanding and exercisable
Exercisable options are vested and can be used to purchase shares today. Exercisable options, NOT outstanding, are relevant for equity comp purposes The method we use for calculating the impact on basic shares outstanding of options is called
the Treasury Stock Method

CONFIDENTIAL
\\nnyc14p20005\training\_summer analysts\Scheduled Credit Suisse Presentations\Valuation Project Overview (TRAINING LEADERS)\2007 Summer Analyst Valuation Book.ppt /46
Calculating Diluted Shares Outstanding Using the Treasury Stock Method Scenario:
197.3 million basic shares outstanding 8.2 million exercisable options with a weighted average strike price of $14.02 Current stock price is $17.74.
Translation:
8.2 million options are “in the money,” meaning they are exercisable at a lower price than the current market price. This means the owner of these options has the right to buy stock from the Company at $14.02 and could sell it in today’s market at $17.74. If the owner of the options did this, he would pay the Company $14.02 for each share, sell it in the market for $17.74 and pocket the $3.72 spread.
Treasury Method Calculations:
The treasury stock method assumes the above transaction occurs and that the Company uses the $14.02 they receive to repurchase shares in the market at $17.74, thus: Basic Shares Outstanding Plus: Shares Issued to Options Holder
($14.02 x 8.2) / $17.74
Less: Shares Repurchased with Proceeds Diluted Shares Outstanding
197.3 8.2 205.5 (6.5) 199.0

What About Convertible Debt and Preferred? Investment Bankers have created hybrid securities which pay interest like straight debt, but
become common stock if certain conditions are met
Convertible Debt Convertible Preferred Other Equity-Linked Securities Convertible securities are NOT evaluated using the Treasury Stock Method Most important thing to remember: Convertible Securities are treated as either debt or equity
for valuation purposes – NOT both

What About Convertible Debt and Preferred? Example: A company has a convertible preferred security with a face value of $1,114 million that pays a dividend of 6.5% and has a conversion price of $18.00
Current Price < $18.00 Treated as Debt Income Statement Effect
None Equity Value Effect
None Net Debt Effect
Should include full amount of convertibles ($1,114)
Current Price > $18.00 Treated as Equity Income Statement Effect
Debt: Interest backed out Preferred: Dividend backed out ($1,114 x 6.5% = $72.4) Equity Value Effect
Additional shares outstanding from conversion (add $1,114/$18 = 61.9 to shares outstanding) Net Debt Effect
Debt does NOT include face value of converted debt/preferred

4. Historical / LTM Income Statement Step 1 FactSet downloads the historicals automatically. Check downloaded FactSet information and
make changes as required Fill in Last Fiscal Year column exactly as shown on financial statement (we’ll get to adjustments
later) You will find all the line items on the income statement, except Depreciation & Amortization, which
are on typically the cashflow statement If the latest fiscal year end is the most recent quarter, you can ignore the other two columns
Step 2 Fill in the most current quarter and prior corresponding quarter to get to LTM Make sure you use cumulative amounts (i.e. if the fiscal year end is 12/31 and you are looking at
9/30 10-Q, use “nine months ended” data) Step 3 The model automatically calculates LTM for you. Make sure you set CS as the LTM source under

Great, But What’s LTM? LTM = Last Twelve Months Companies report financial results on a quarterly basis (every 3 months) LTM represents the sum of the last four quarters’ results LTM is important because it shows what the company’s reported performance has been over
the last year (though not necessarily a calendar year)

5. Income Statement Adjustments – Unusual and Non-Recurring Items Companies often report one-time gains or extraordinary charges in accordance with GAAP. As financial analysts, we do not view these charges as related to operations and thus exclude them. Typical “non-operating” charges include gains/losses on sale of assets, inventory write-downs
and restructuring charges It is important to remember that not all unusual or non-recurring items will be broken out on the
financial statements. This is the result of:
Accountants will not always allow companies to break-out certain charges on the financial statements because they are not unusual in the strictest sense
Some companies may not want to highlight that they “made their numbers” as a result of an extraordinary gain Charges or gains not broken out in the financials can always be found in the MD&A – that’s why
you need to read it!

A Note On Calendarizing Estimates Some companies do not have December 31 fiscal year ends. As a result, the earnings of these companies are not comparable to the earnings of companies with a December 31 year end. Therefore: EPS estimates must be adjusted to a December year end to make companies with different
fiscal year ends comparable on a P/E basis
First Call and I/B/E/S generally download a CYEPS (Calendar Year EPS) This is intuitively clear when considering two companies – one with a fiscal year ending
September 30, 2005 and the other with a fiscal year ending December 31, 2005
The 2005 earnings estimates associated with the “September” company have a higher degree of certainty than the “December” company and thus should receive a higher multiple than an identical “December” company Our objective is to eliminate this artificial valuation differential by “calendarizing” the estimates If you choose not to calendarize it, please set calendarization date equal to last fiscal year end
Helpful Hint: In the top right corner of your ABACUS shell, you have the option to calendarize manually (meaning you do all the work) or by formula (meaning FactSet generates the formula for you). In most cases, use the Formula option, but make sure you know how it is deriving its ratio.

The Sanity Check How to avoid the dreaded, “This doesn’t look right” response Take 5 minutes to look at the output when you’re done – the team will wait Look for outliers in the data
Comparable companies usually have comparable multiples – If 9 out of 10 companies in your equity comps are trading between 8x and 10x EBITDA, and one is trading at 20x, you might have a problem – Possible explanations: 1. You’ve made a mistake, 2. This isn’t a good comp, or 3. There is something unusual about this company – In the unlikely event of Case 3, be sure you can explain the situation
Likewise, the relationship between Enterprise Value / EBITDA and P/E should be roughly the same across companies – Not always true, but be prepared to explain why it’s not Check your multiples against research to be sure you’re in the right ballpark If the business is showing momentum and estimated annual operating statistics are improving
over current year figures, your consecutive multiples should be declining (e.g., 16.5x 2005E P/E vs. 14.6x 2006E P/E)
If the multiples are increasing, make sure you understand why

Definitions Equity Value (also referred to as Market Value)
The market value of a company’s equity: (Number of fully diluted shares x current stock price) - option/warrant proceeds
Number of fully diluted shares = “What the market thinks is outstanding” = Primary shares + “in the money” exercisable options/warrants + shares from the conversion of “in the money” convertible debt/convertible preferred stock
What to do with option/warrant proceeds – Subtract from market value Enterprise Value (also referred to as Adjusted Market Value, or AMV)
The market value of the total enterprise Market value of equity + net debt Net Debt = Long-term debt (including current portion) + short-term debt + “out of the money” convertible debt + minority interest + capitalized leases – (cash + equivalents)

Interpreting the Results – A Few General Themes A larger business is viewed as less risky than a smaller business. However, smaller
entrepreneurial companies may get a premium valuation if they are growing quickly Higher projected earnings growth implies faster stock appreciation potential and will positively
impact valuation Higher leverage implies less financial flexibility and will negatively impact valuation Higher profitability margins imply better expense controls and better ability to stay price
competitive and will positively impact valuation The higher the economic cyclicality or seasonality of earnings, the riskier the stock Dividend payments positively impact valuation. Dividends are usually paid by mature
companies that need further incentives for investors. High growth companies do not need a dividend to get a high valuation Higher trading multiples (e.g., price/earnings ratio) make the stock less attractive than a similar
company with lower statistics

Comparable Acquisitions Analysis Comparable acquisitions analysis values a company by reference to other sale transactions of similar
businesses. Comparable acquisitions analysis is based on the same multiples as those used in comparable companies analysis
Enterprise Value / EBITDA Equity Value / Net Income Enterprise Value / Sales (usually less relevant) Enterprise Value / EBIT (usually less relevant) The trick is to find the right comparable transactions and to ferret out the relevant information required As in comparable company analyses, look for acquisitions of companies with comparable operational and
financial characteristics Recent transactions are a more accurate reflection of the values buyers are currently willing to pay than
are acquisitions completed in the distant past. This is because market fundamentals are subject to dramatic change over periods of time. In addition, cyclical businesses will trade at widely different valuations at the peak and ebb of a cycle Multiples should be based on the latest public financial information available to the Acquiror at the time of the
acquisition Helpful Hint #1: Unlike Equity Comps, which value companies off of forward looking estimates, M&A Comps are historical looking Helpful Hint #2: Comparable acquisition multiples include consideration which is paid for "control" of the Target. Since this "control premium" is not reflected in the comparable company valuation, comparable acquisition multiples tend to be higher and more indicative of the value of a company in a sale context 71

Finding Comparable Acquisitions Sources to check for comparable acquisitions include: Other comparable acquisitions schedules Previous presentations/valuation analyses SDC database (Securities Data Corporation) News runs Equity analysts Public tender offer documents and merger proxies Colleagues
Never rely on the multiples of a schedule with an unknown author or with an author who is not sure that the multiples are correct.
Look for recent acquisitions of companies with operational and financial characteristics similar to those of the business being valued. 72

Helpful Hint: The major difference between a Transaction Value and an Enterprise Value lies in the share count. In any “Change of Control,” all outstanding and “in-the-money” options, regardless of whether they are exercisable or not , get converted at the weighted average strike price. This differs from the Enterprise Value calculation, where only those options that are exercisable get converted
Total Transaction Value of an M&A deal is similar to Enterprise Value used in Comparable Companies Analysis. 73

Option/ Warrant Shares
Basic Shares Outstanding are taken from the cover of the most recent 10-K or 10-Q. Option/Warrant Shares are calculated using the treasury method, which assumes that all in-the-money
options/warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to repurchase shares at today’s market price For example:
Basic Shares
Option/Warrant Shares
20 million shares
500,000 in-the-money options $25 is the average strike price $35 is today’s stock price
Helpful Hint: There are two independent concepts regarding option/warrants that tend to confuse people:
1. Outstanding versus Exercisable 2. “In-the-money” versus “out-of-the-money” In an acquisition context, all outstanding and “in-the-money” options/warrants get converted. In a market value
(equity comp) context, only those options that are both exercisable and “in-the-money” convert Options/warrants “out-of-the-money” never convert
To calculate equity value, we must always use fully diluted shares outstanding. 74

Determination of Purchase Price per Share Cash consideration is straightforward Common stock issued by an acquiror is valued using the acquiror’s stock price on the day prior
to announcement of the transaction Other securities are valued at market
Existing publicly traded securities should be valued at market on the day prior to announcement
New classes of securities should be valued at market value on the first day of trading
Calculating the purchase price per share is not always as simple as it may first appear 76

Enterprise Value vs. Equity Value General Overview There are typically two stakeholders in any firm, the Debt Holders and the Equity Holders. The
concept of Enterprise Value contemplates that the earnings of the Company are allocated to both the Debt Holders (through interest payments) and the Equity Holders (through dividends and appreciation in stock price) When You Use Enterprise Value Typically, you will use Enterprise Value in circumstances when the financial statistic being
utilized is flowing to the debt and equity holders. In general, this means that any financial statistic that is pre-interest expense will use an Enterprise Value concept to determine valuation When You Use Equity Value Typically, you will use Equity Value in circumstances when the financial statistic being utilized is
flowing only to the equity holders. In general, this means that any financial statistic that is postinterest expense will use an Equity Value concept to determine valuation Public market valuations tend to use earnings multiples (typically forward earnings multiples)
because the investment decision is being made based upon a capital structure that is already in place and cannot be influenced by the common stock holder
When do you use what? 77

Practical Guidelines 1)
Obtain SDC run to get general information regarding announcement dates, target/acquirors, structure of transactions, etc. When doing an SDC run, you typically search by industry SIC codes to find M&A deals for certain industries. If a deal has just been announced, you'll need to get a news run done on the deal
2)
Make sure the announcement date is correct by checking Bloomberg
3)
Retrieve appropriate documents from SEC. You will need a merger document and 10-K and 10-Q. Make sure that the 10-K and 10-Q are for the target company financials for the LTM period before the announcement date. M&A comps are usually done on an LTM basis. At some point you may have to do an M&A comp on a forward basis, but this is uncommon
4)
Read a summary of the terms of the transaction in the merger doc. This is especially true for stock-for-stock transactions. Understand whether the transaction was a stock-for-stock, cash tender offer, asset sale, minority interest investment, etc. This will help you determine the purchase price later on
5)
Scan the notes of the 10-K and the 10-Q for any significant items not reflected in the statements. Sometimes the target has been involved in other significant mergers, divestitures, or other consequential events. If so, then read the appropriate 8-K or other document in order to pro forma the financials. Also, do a quick Bloomberg scan to see if anything has happened after the filing of the last financial statement and the announcement of the merger, which could also affect the valuation

Practical Guidelines (Cont’d) 6)
Once you have checked SDC’s announcement date, enter this and the effective date. Generally, you can trust SDC on the effective date
7)
Get the business description from the Bloomberg or from the 10-K. Be brief but not vague
8)
The type of merger doc you get will tell you what the structure of the deal is. If you’ve got a stock deal, then you will have a merger proxy S-4. If you have a cash tender offer, then you will have a 14D-1. Attitude (friendly vs. hostile) can be obtained from SDC. For the type of consideration offered, read the summary of the terms of the merger. You may not always need to show this in your comps
9)
Calculate equity value using fully diluted shares outstanding and the offer price per share. This sounds straightforward, but it is often easy to get tripped up here. Things to consider:
80
CONFIDENTIAL
\\nnyc14p20005\training\_summer analysts\Scheduled Credit Suisse Presentations\Valuation Project Overview (TRAINING LEADERS)\2007 Summer Analyst Valuation Book.ppt /81
Practical Guidelines (Cont’d) a) For a stock-for-stock deal, the price per share is implied. Some terms to get familiar with: The exchange ratio is simply the number of shares of the acquiror being offered for every share of the target. So if Target Corp. received one share of Acquisition Corp. stock for every five of its shares, then the exchange ratio would be 1/5, or 0.2. If you read the summary of the terms, you will either get a fixed ratio or a fixed price. In the case of a fixed price, the exchange ratio adjusts to fit the price. For example, if Acquisition Corp. knows it wants to pay $5 per share for Target Corp., then the number of shares it must offer to get to that $5 will depend on its own stock price. If its price were $2 per share, then it would have to offer 2.5 of its own shares, and 2.5 would be the exchange ratio. In other cases, the exchange ratio is fixed. So if Acquisition Corp. offered 2.5 of its shares for every Target share, then the implied value of the Target share is (2.5 x Acquisition Corp. share price). Therefore, the implied price will fluctuate over time. So you can see, either you hold the exchange ratio constant and vary the implied purchase price, or you have a fixed price and vary the exchange ratio For our purposes, what we care about is what the shares were valued at prior to the announcement. So if the Acquiror’s share price was $10 on the day prior to the announcement and the exchange ratio was 2, then the implied price per Target share would be $20. Often the merger proxy will state that the actual exchange ratio at the closing will depend on “the average closing price of the twenty trading days prior to the three days before the Effective Date...” Ignore it, unless for some reason this language is related to the announcement date somehow, because this is the actual price to be paid. Remember, our job is to determine how the transaction is valued as of the announcement, so just assume that such a price is whatever it was on the day prior to the announcement 81

\\nnyc14p20005\training\_summer analysts\Scheduled Credit Suisse Presentations\Valuation Project Overview (TRAINING LEADERS)\2007 Summer Analyst Valuation Book.ppt /82
Practical Guidelines (Cont’d) b) Check the capitalization of the company to see if they have any convertible securities (debt and preferred stock). Often such securities have takeover provisions which allow them to convert upon a merger, in which case you want to include their value in the equity purchase price (of course, you will have to back out their value later when calculating the enterprise value) c) Options. Generally, upon a change of control in a company, the options are bought out by the acquiror. We need to account for this in the equity purchase price, so there are columns which will calculate this value for you. You can get this info either from the 10-K, or if available, from the merger proxy (you generally wont find this info in a 14D-1). Since we will usually not have a detailed breakout of what each individual option is, it is sufficient to take the average exercise price. When doing so, you should never get to a negative purchase price for the options because when the exercise price is less than the offer price, the options are worthless (“out of the money”) 10) Calculate the enterprise value by entering the appropriate debt and cash figures. Remember, include marketable securities in the cash figure, and if you converted some pieces of debt or preferred in calculating them in the equity purchase price, do not include them here. Otherwise, that would be double counting 11) For LTM figures, make sure the numbers you input do not include unusual or nonrecurring items. Simply subtract them out from EBITDA and EBIT. For the net income line, make sure you take these out tax-affected. This means that for a net income calculation you would back out the unusual multiplied by (1-tax rate)

Practical Guidelines (Cont’d) 12) There might have been significant events for which you did not pro forma the numbers. Did the target purchase another company prior to being acquired that is not reflected in the numbers? Did the target sell off assets or spin off a division? Use your judgment. Companies in high-growth industries can trade at high multiples (for example, technology deals can be done at 4x revenues, 15–20x EBITDA). Slow, prodding industries should not have such multiples. Also, if it is a hostile deal, then you may have pretty high multiples since the acquiror has to pay a big premium to get the deal done

Summer Assignment – DCF Project Knight Ridder’s income statement for five years
Make note of what assumptions you use to grow the income statement From these projections, calculate Knight Ridder’s annual free cash flows
Using your equity comps, find the terminal EBITDA multiple and calculate the terminal value Using your comps, calculate the proper WACC that should be used to discount Knight Ridder’s
cash flows
Unlever the Beta for each comp and re-lever at Knight Ridder’s leverage Discount the Free Cash Flows and terminal multiple at the WACC
Use the terminal multiple and WACC to calculate an implied perpetuity growth rate Calculate the equity value per share and compare to Knight Ridder’s current price Create a sensitivity table showing the changes in enterprise value and equity value per share as
impacted by the WACC and terminal multiple Helpful Hint #1: ABACUS has a WACC summary sheet that unlevers and relevers the betas for you. This schedule can be very helpful, but make sure you understand how it works. You will have to input company betas, the risk-free rate, market risk premiums and tax rates manually

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Comparable company and comparable acquisition analyses are often used as confirming
methodologies Specific asset values are sometimes used if other methodologies are inapplicable
Applications of valuation analysis include: Acquisitions: How much should we pay to buy the company / division? Divestitures: How much could we sell our company / division for? Defense: Is our company undervalued / vulnerable to a raider? Fairness Opinions: Is the price offered for our company / division fair from a financial point of
view? Public Equity Offerings: For how much could we sell our company / division in the public
market? New Business Presentations: Various applications
Discounted Cash Flow analysis is typically the primary valuation methodology used by CS in M&A and certain capital markets transactions. 92

Step 1: Projections DCF analysis is an attempt to look at the company’s pure operating results, free and clear of financial leverage,
extraordinary items, discontinued operations, etc. Many times, we are given financial projections from the management of a particular company; however, there
are situations in which we must develop our own forecast for a particular company or business – It is extremely important to look at the historical performance of a company or business to understand how future cash flows relate to past performance A company’s unlevered free cash flows represent the cash generating ability of that particular company, without
regard to its present or prospective capital structure – As a result, unlevered free cash flows are projected before subtracting interest and financing expenses or related tax shields DCF projections should be based on:
Historical performance Company projections (when available) Equity research analyst estimates Industry data Common sense
The forecast horizon should be long enough so that the company reaches “steady state” by the end of the
forecast period – Typically, forecasts of 5 - 10 years are used for DCF analyses of maturing or mature firms
The free cash flows from a business can be projected using information about the industry in which the business operates and information specific to the business. 97

Breakdown by main category of costs – Cost of goods sold, personnel costs, SG&A expenses – Fixed vs. variable costs

Step 1: Projections – Capital Expenditures Capital expenditures (“Capex”) are the investments necessary to maintain the required capital
intensity, which includes expenditures on new as well as replacement property plant and equipment (“PP&E”) Base assumptions on:
– Company forecasts – Industry levels – Research reports – Percentage of sales, percentage of PP&E Build a CapEx schedule breaking down expenditures by type of asset (buildings, machinery and
equipment, other assets) and between new and replacement CapEx – Show beginning and ending PP&E by type of asset At the end of forecast period, the CapEx level should be in line (equal or slightly higher) with
depreciation (i.e., assume that capital intensity is maintained going forward) For a given year, CapEx is equal to end of year net PP&E less beginning of year net PP&E plus
depreciation expense for the year
(1)
Net PP&E is equal to gross PP&E less accumulated depreciation.

Step 1: Projections – Working Capital Working capital is defined as the sum of accounts receivable, inventories, pre-paid expenses
and other current assets, less the sum of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities – This definition can change slightly for companies in different industries Exclude excess cash and marketable securities and short-term debt
– We often use the term “net working capital” to distinguish the investment banking concept from the accountant’s definition of working capital Build a working capital schedule breaking down the main components of working capital
– Estimate balances for the components of working capital as a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold or other appropriate metrics (or using year-on-year growth rates) for each projection year – Calculate the net increase/decrease in working capital for each year When forecasting working capital, consider whether the company’s changing mix of business
affects its need for working capital – Any action to squeeze cash from working capital by operating more efficiently (e.g., reducing working capital as a percentage of sales, for instance via implementation of a just-in-time inventory system, a change in receivable/payable policy, etc.); whether there is a discernible trend in working capital, and if so, whether the improvement/deterioration will continue or stabilize? Increases in net working capital are a use of cash and decreases in net working capital are a
source of cash – Remember that increases in assets and decreases in liabilities are uses of cash and decreases in assets and increases in liabilities are sources of cash 102

Step 1: Projections – Deferred Taxes Deferred Taxes For valuation purposes, taxes should be stated on a cash basis Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise due to differences between financial (book) accounting
and tax accounting – The most significant differences in book and tax accounting typically arise with regard to the depreciation of assets. In the U.S., assets often can be depreciated on an accelerated basis for tax purposes, lowering taxable income in the current period and thus lowering actual cash taxes paid. – On a book basis, however, often times the same assets cannot be depreciated on such an accelerated basis, thus taxable income is higher, as are book taxes per the income tax provision. The increase in deferred tax liabilities accounts for the difference between book taxes and the actual taxes paid to the government Increases in deferred tax liabilities (net of deferred tax assets) are a source of a cash and
should be added in calculating free cash flow (and alternatively, decreases in deferred tax liabilities are a use of cash and should be subtracted in calculating free cash flow)

Step 1: Projections – Reality Check
Confront sales growth assumptions with underlying market dynamics – Be skeptical of projected sales growth curves that look show dramatic improvements versus recent actual performance. Does the increase in sales reflect a constant market share in an expanding market? If so, why is the market expanding? Does that assumption agree with industry projections? If it is an expanding market, why will the company be able to maintain a constant market share? Or does the increase reflect a rising market share in a stagnant market? If yes, why? Are some firms leaving the industry? Why?
Check reasonableness of margins – Avoid margin “hockey sticks”. Be clear on the actions and/or events needed to trigger improvements in margins (or reasons for decreases in margins). Are the margin levels consistent with the structure of competition in the industry? Any risk of new entrants/substitute products that will drive margins down?
Capital Expenditures – Watch out for step-up of production capacity required as sales increase. Is the CapEx level sufficient to support the forecasted increase in sales? Factor in the impact of industry trends on CapEx (e.g., increased environmental expenditures, technology changes, etc.)
Working Capital – Are inventory and other working capital forecasts consistent with the sales increase? What is the pattern of accounts receivable collection? How is it practically achieved? Assess bargaining power of customers (receivables terms) and suppliers (account payable terms). Are your assumptions in line with industry standards?
Be Critical About Buyer’s and Seller’s Projections – Use due diligence/access to seller's management to gain in-depth understanding of company's assumptions and challenge them (if and when appropriate). Where possible, compare the company's past record of actual versus budgeted results – Add value/ “manage” client's expectations (both on buy and sell sides) by thoroughly understanding the company's market dynamics and competitive positioning
As always, it is important to perform a “Reality Check” on the main components of FCF 104

Step 1: Projections Unlevered Free Cash Flow Unlevered Free Cash Flow is the unlevered after-tax cash flow generated by the Company
(including the impact of any reinvestment) Unlevered Free Cash Flow is available to all providers of the Company’s capital, both creditors
and shareholders Unlevered Free Cash Flow is best determined by considering sources and uses of cash:

Step 2: Determination of Terminal Value Firm value, based on free cash flows, can be separated into two components:
Company Value
=
PV of FCF during explicit forecast period
+
PV of FCF after explicit forecast period
Since DCF analysis is based on a limited forecast period, a terminal value must be used to capture the
value of the business at the end of the projection period The terminal value is usually added to the free cash flow in the final year of the projections and then
discounted back to the valuation date, or it can be discounted separately to the valuation date The terminal value typically constitutes a substantial portion of the total enterprise value. Critical
thinking about prospects of the business, and therefore the terminal value, results in a more meaningful, accurate and defensible DCF analysis Note that the terminal year free cash flow has to be normalized to ensure that the company has
reached a steady state – Normalized operating assumptions: sales and profitability assumptions for the final year should reflect a “steady state” year, not a peak or trough in the business cycle; and depreciation and capex should be within the same range Terminal value is determined through either application of a valuation multiple (the “terminal multiple”)
or the perpetuity growth method
The terminal value captures the value of the business at the end of the projection period, which is based on the free cash flows of the business beyond the explicit forecast period. 106

Step 2: Terminal Value – Terminal Multiple Method Terminal Value = Statistic x Multiple
– Statistic: Operating statistic used (e.g., EBITDA in year 10) – Multiple: Selected multiple (e.g., 10.0x) Multiple is based on the most appropriate multiple for the company’s industry (e.g., EBIT versus
EBITDA versus EBITDAR) The multiple applied should reflect the long-term market valuation of the company/industry,
rather than a current multiple that may be distorted by industry or economic cycles When applying the multiple it is important to distinguish between:
Comparable trading company multiples and comparable acquisitions multiples – It is almost always more appropriate to base terminal multiples on the figures derived via comparable companies analysis, rather than those from comparable transactions analysis
LTM and forward multiples Always show a range of multiples
Terminal value based on assumed trading or acquisition multiple at the end of the projection period. 107

Step 2: Terminal Value – Perpetuity Growth Method The Gordon Growth formula:
Terminal Valuen = Unlevered FCFn+1 (r - g)
Unlevered FCF n+1: Unlevered free cash flow in the first year after the explicit projection period – Note that we often estimate FCF n+1 by taking FCF n and growing it by the growth rate g, but this is not always appropriate
r: Discount rate (based on weighted average cost of capital) g: Perpetuity growth rate The perpetuity growth rate used must be realistic
Reference point should be nominal GDP growth Expected long-term growth rate of the industry (e.g., utility industry growth rate versus cable TV industry growth rate) Always show a range of perpetuity growth rates
Terminal value based on business operating into perpetuity, growing free cash flow at some constant rate. 108

Step 2: Terminal Value – Cross Referencing Check the reasonableness of the terminal value by linking the terminal multiple and perpetuity growth rate
– Calculate the implied perpetuity growth rate for a range of terminal multiples or, conversely check how the perpetuity growth rate translates into terminal multiples. For example, the terminal multiple you used may imply too high a perpetuity growth rate for the industry, or vice versa The formula below demonstrates how to ‘reverse’ into the implied terminal multiple from the perpetuity growth
method Implied terminal multiple = PV TV x (1+r)n FV TV = Statistic Statistic – – – – –
PV TV: Present Value of Terminal Value FV TV: Future Value of Terminal Value r: Discount rate n: Number of years discounted Statistic: Operating statistic on which multiple applied (e.g., EBITDA in year 10)
The formula below demonstrates how to ‘reverse’ into the implied perpetuity growth rate from the terminal
multiple method (assuming FCFn+1 = FCFn x (1+g) ) Implied perpetuity growth rate = (r x Statistic x Multiple) – Unlevered FCFn (Statistic x Multiple) + Unlevered FCFn – Multiple: Selected valuation multiple (e.g., 10.0x) – Unlevered FCF n: Unlevered free cash flow in last year of the projection
Does the terminal value make sense? 109

Step 3: WACC – Discount Rate Overview The Weighted Average Cost Capital (“WACC”) is the recommended discount rate to be used in the unlevered discounted cash flow valuation of an asset. The WACC should be thought of as the opportunity cost of capital, the long-term return an
investor expects to earn in an alternative investment of equivalent risk The WACC to be used in a DCF analysis is specific to the business or asset being valued. It
does not necessarily depend on the buyer’s or seller’s overall cost of capital WACC is used by firms as the hurdle rate for a project or division, as a performance benchmark
for return on capital calculations, to determine desirability of stock repurchases or issuance, or for valuation purposes Mathematically, WACC is expressed as:

Step 3: WACC – Target Capital Structure The “weights” applied to the costs of equity and debt used in computing WACC for an asset represent the
theoretical “optimal” capital structure for that asset Finance theory (Modigliani-Miller’s three propositions) suggests that in the absence of taxes and financial
distress/bankruptcy costs, changing leverage has no effect on WACC, and therefore no effect on firm value – However, in a world with taxes and financial distress, increasing leverage is predicted to result in a decrease in the cost of capital, permitting the determination of a theoretically “optimal” capital structure – Common applications of WACC do not directly factor in financial distress costs, thus they underestimate WACC at high levels of leverage – Another shortcoming of WACC is that it assumes capital weights (i.e., leverage) are held constant through time (%) Cost of Equity
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
Cost of Debt
Debt as a % of Enterprise Value
Prior to calculating the cost of equity and debt for the company you are valuing, you need to define a target capital structure that reflects the debt to equity ratio that is expected to prevail over the life of the business.

Step 3: WACC – Target Capital Structure Calculate the current market value-based capital structure for the company
To estimate the market value of equity (market capitalization), multiply the stock price by the shares outstanding. Exercisable stock options that are “in-the-money” should be included in the equity value to the extent the current stock price exceeds the exercise price. If the company is not public, you can estimate the equity value by some alternative method. To estimate the market value of debt, look to see if the debt is publicly traded; if so multiply the trading price by the number of securities outstanding. If the debt is not traded, estimate the market value by comparing with similarly rated publicly traded debt. Book value of debt is sometimes used as an approximation if value of bonds is close to par (issue price) – Typically convertibles that are “out-of-the-money” are treated as debt at book value. Convertibles that are “in-the-money” are converted into shares of common stock at the conversion price and treated as equity. Theoretically, convertibles consist of both equity and debt components, but rarely do Wall Street firms break them into separate parts for WACC analysis – Include capital leases in the total debt calculation. Operating leases require case-specific judgment - they are frequently converted into capital leases by applying a multiple (typically 6x - 8x) to the annual operating lease payments – For companies with captive finance subsidiaries, we typically exclude finance companyrelated debt You can use a combination of the following three approaches to estimate the appropriate target capital structure. 112

Step 3: WACC – Target Capital Structure Review the capital structures of comparable companies
– Assess the average market capital structure prevailing in the company’s sector Review management’s financing philosophy
– When possible, discuss with management of the company that you are valuing their financing policy and their explicit or implicit target capital structure on a normalized basis. If you don’t have access to management, look for any statements in the press, research reports, annual report, etc. that give hints on the company’s medium to long-term financing objectives

Step 3: WACC – Cost of Equity Typically, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is used to estimate the cost of equity; there
are other approaches that are occasionally used in valuation, including:
Rate of return required by private equity investors in the market (i.e., LBO or venture capital transactions)
Arbitrage Pricing Theory Fama-French three factor model An investor may obtain a risk-free rate by investing in governmental bonds. By purchasing
equities, he or she assumes general market risk and therefore will expect a certain premium for doing so. CAPM quantifies the relationship between risk and return in a well functioning market To implement the CAPM approach, you need to estimate three factors that determine the
Security Market Line: the risk-free rate, the market risk premium and the levered beta Security Market Line Expected Return (in percent)

Step 3: WACC – The Risk-Free Rate Finance theory recommends using a “true” risk-free rate that has the same term as the cash
flows projected Since long term bond rates have intrinsic interest rate risk factored in, some theorists have
suggested making a “liquidity” adjustment to the long bond rate representing the term premium implicit in those rates – However, this is rarely done in practice by Wall Street professionals At CS, we typically use the 20-year treasury bond for the U.S. risk-free rate, as it matches the
risk-free rate used in the calculation of the equity risk premium – Ibbotson uses the 20-year because there has only been a 30-year bond since 1977 and their data analysis goes back to 1926 – There is no longer a 20-year bond issued by the U.S. Government, so you must look for a 30-year bond that has been outstanding for 10 years or use interpolated yields from Bloomberg (type “ICUR20” and hit GO) or another source – Treasury strips typically are not used but may be appropriate if the asset being valued provides a single payoff at the end of a specified term To access current yields to maturity on U.S. Government bills, notes and bonds on Bloomberg,
type “T” and the “Government” key and hit GO

Step 3: WACC – The Equity Risk Premium The equity risk premium (ERP) is the difference between the expected rate of return on the market portfolio and
the risk-free rate Proper methodology for estimating the equity risk premium is the subject of much debate in academia
– Equity premia ranging from as low as 3% to as high as 8% are used on Wall Street CS IBD uses estimates for ERP from Ibbotson Associates; the current ERP figure is 7.1%
– This figure is calculated by looking at stock market returns relative to returns on long-term government bonds from 1926 through 2005 – Some argue that use of this period over-estimates the risk premium, and that data over a more recent period would suggest a lower premium – Also, some argue that using historical data presents a conundrum - equity returns over the last 20 years have been significantly higher than returns on government bonds, however the performance of the equity markets may have been, in part, driven by a reduction in the equity risk premium – Nevertheless, most (if not all) major Wall Street firms rely on the Ibbotson data for their cost of capital analyses Where applicable, the WACC must be adjusted to reflect fact that betas for small companies do not account for
all of the risks faced by investors in those companies. The following size premia (Ibbotson, 2006) should be added to the cost of equity calculation where appropriate: Mid-Cap ($1,729 million to $7,187 million) = 1.02% Low-Cap ($587 million to $1,729 million) = 1.81% Micro-Cap (Below $586 million) = 3.95%
The equity risk premium is a critical element of WACC and DCF analysis that is often the subject of intense debate. 116

Step 3: WACC – Beta CAPM holds that investors are only rewarded for bearing systematic risk and are not rewarded for bearing
unique or unsystematic risk. It is assumed that investors can eliminate unsystematic risk on their own through portfolio diversification Beta represents a measure of the systematic risk that exists in an asset, and is central to CAPM
Beta
= COV[Rasset, Rmarket] / VAR[Rmarket], or equivalently = CORR[Rasset, Rmarket] x STDasset / STDmarket – High volatility is not necessarily an indication of high beta
Historical betas of publicly traded equity securities can be calculated based on an analysis of the actual returns
on the security vs. the actual market returns over the same period – Unfortunately, historical betas can be poor predictors of expected beta, which is what we need in our analysis – BARRA, a financial research firm, computes predicted betas for most public companies Use a portfolio or average of peer company betas where available because significant error can exist in
individual betas – R-Squared (R2) measures the “goodness of fit” of the regression line, and describes the percentage of variation in the dependent variable that is explained by the independent variable. R2 may vary from 0 to 1 with 1 meaning that the independent variable explains 100% of the variation of the dependent variable, although R2 for individual equity betas seldom rise above 0.2 Observed betas reflect both the business and financial risk of the company. Betas are unlevered to measure
only the business risk of a company and then relevered to the target capital structure of the company that is being valued to reflect both business and financial risk – Increasing leverage will, according to theory, increase the beta of a firm’s equity and hence its cost of equity ßL ßL = ßU [ 1 + D (1-T) ] ßU = D (1-T) E 1+ E 117

Step 3: WACC – Cost of Debt The cost of debt is measured as the expected return on the company’s long-term debt securities
– The cost of debt is dependent on both the general interest rate environment in the economy and the credit quality of the business or asset being valued The cost of debt is measured on an after-tax basis because interest payments are tax deductible in the U.S.
– The tax rate to be used is the company’s marginal tax rate, typically 40% in the U.S. The cost of debt can be measured in several ways:
If the company has public debt outstanding, take the weighted average of current yields to maturity or yields to worst on all issues in the target capital structure – The yield to maturity (or for callable bonds, the yield to worst) embodies the market’s expectations of future returns on debt and should be used instead of the coupon rate – Average cost of debt (not marginal) may be more appropriate when the entire enterprise is being valued – Include short-term and medium-term debt (along with long-term debt) if it is expected to be part of the permanent capital structure going forward – Talk to Debt Capital Markets (DCM) if debt securities are only thinly traded or if it is difficult to obtain a market price Risk-free rate + current corporate spread over treasuries of selected comparable credits
– Must either use the bond rating given to the company by Standard & Poors or Moody’s, or estimate the company’s bond rating by comparing the company’s financial ratios (i.e., Debt / EBITDA, EBITDA / Interest) to those of its peers who have such ratings Be wary of debt securities that have options attached (e.g., convertible bonds or callable bonds) that affect the
overall yield to maturity and thus may not reflect the true cost of straight debt securities

Step 3: CS U.S. WACC Methodology In practice, we typically make the following assumptions at CS:
Target Capital Structure
Average of ratio of debt and equity market capitalization of selected comparable companies
Risk Free Rate:
20 year US Treasury coupon bond yield (Bloomberg: ICUR20)
Tax Rate:
Estimated future marginal tax rate (usually 40%)
Equity Market Risk Premium:
Ibbotson equity market premium (currently 7.1%), calculated based on historical (arithmetic) return of
Beta:
Take predicted levered betas of comparable companies (use Barra predicted betas), unlever them
Cost of Debt:
equity market relative to 20 year treasury bond according to capital structure, average the unlevered betas, and re-lever the average to the target capital structure of the company being valued Risk-free rate + current corporate spread over treasury for comparable credits
In general, WACC calculation is not a science; there are no exact answers, judgment and reality
checks are essential – Typically, discount rate ranges centered around a best estimate for WACC are used in DCF valuations – Small differences in WACC/discount rate can have huge impacts on value

The total present value at December 31, 2002 is equal to the sum of the present values of the
individual cash flows ($108) Mid-year Discounting – The above example assumes end of the period discounting, that is it assumes all of the cash flows come at the end of each period. A more accurate method may be mid-year discounting, which assumes that the cash flows come in the middle of each period (this is essentially equivalent to evenly spreading the cash flows throughout the period) – When performing mid-year discounting, one must still discount the terminal value from the end of the forecast period 121

Step 4: Present Value Valuation To calculate the value of a business using DCF analysis, the projected free cash flows over the
forecast period are discounted to the present over the appropriate range of discount rates A range of terminal values for the business is added to the cash flows in the last year of
projections and discounted to a present value The resulting values represent the total or “enterprise” value of the business, including both debt
and equity. To calculate the value of a company’s equity, subtract the company’s net debt from its enterprise value In addition, the enterprise value should be adjusted by adding other unusual assets or
subtracting liabilities to reflect the company’s fair equity value DCF pointers Assumption Summaries: Write up summaries of the key assumptions underlying your cash flow
projections Sensitivity Analysis: It is useful to vary some of the important assumptions (e.g., sales growth
rate, margins) to determine how sensitive your value range is to key determinants of future results Calculator Check: Always check Excel numbers with a calculator

Step 5: Corporate Adjustments DCF analysis calculates the Enterprise Value (also known as Adjusted Market Value) of a
company – The Equity Value of a company is equal to its Enterprise Value less Corporate Adjustments Corporate Adjustments include the company’s net debt plus other obligations, less other assets
not included in the DCF analysis or financial forecasts Long
term debt (including current portion) Short term debt Minority interest Capitalized leases
Contingent
liabilities Excess Cash Value of other assets not in DCF
The Equity Value per diluted share is equal to the Equity Value divided by the number of net
fully-diluted shares outstanding – Number of net fully diluted shares = Basic shares + net shares underlying “in the money” options / warrants + net shares from the conversion of “in the money” convertible debt and convertible preferred stock Incremental common-equivalent shares are typically calculated using the treasury stock method
– Note that this is a circular calculation – the treasury stock calculation depends on an assumed share repurchase price, which is dependent upon the number of net fully-diluted shares outstanding – Outstanding vs. exercisable options (1)
Note that “out of the money” options, while not converted per the treasury stock method, represent a cost that is not captured in the analysis (typically this error is a small one).

Accounting Treatments Old Purchase Accounting Excess of purchase price over fair market value
(FMV) of identifiable assets less liabilities is recorded as goodwill
New Purchase Accounting Excess of purchase price over FMV of identifiable
assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill Goodwill not systematically amortized. Instead,
Goodwill amortized by the straight line method
over a period not exceeding 40 years
subject to an impairment test at least once per year and on an interim basis as warranted
No more systematic income statement “hit” Because goodwill is not amortized but most other
intangible assets will be, FASB wants companies to separately identify more intangible assets rather than simply allocating such amounts to goodwill
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has modified the existing purchase accounting rules and has eliminated the way we treat Goodwill. 131

INCOME STATEMENT
Cost Method (less than 20% in a nonmarketable security)
Investment is shown at cost. Changes in value (from original cost) are reported only as realized
Dividends received from target are shown as dividend income
Fair Value (less than 20% ownership in a marketable security)
Investment account is shown at fair value. Changes in fair value are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized
Dividends received from target are shown as dividend income. Losses are also realized upon recognition of permanent impairment
