www.e-valuation.us2. Financial Hypothesis
XYZ is a company founded in 1984 and specialized in sale of toys of all kinds, bicycles, childcare articles,
sporting articles, trophies, jewellery, gift items, tales and children’s books, electronic games, and youthful
and sports wear.
The XYZ’s business model fits within the sector of retail. From the standpoint of XYZ, this is a sector with low
entry barriers that have had a slightly positive trend in the last years.
The client believes that XYZ has got a very high brand recognition in its market segment and that the company
is not very sensitive to economic cycles.

www.e-valuation.us2. Financial Hypothesis
The operating margin before amortizations, interest and taxes (EBITDA) is one of the more significant
operating magnitudes. It is defined as the result obtained when resting the sum of direct costs and indirect
costs (excluding amortizations, financial and extraordinary expenses and taxes) to sales.
XYZ’s EBITDA goes under a decrease principally due to a slightly increase in the operating expenses as it has
been explained before.
For the forecast of fixed assets’ amortization it has been calculated, according to the analysis carried out by
e-Valora and the information provided by the client, an amortization average period of 25 years for the
historical fixed assets and of 10 years for the rest of the fixed assets on the balance sheet at December 31st
2008. For the new fixed assets, not real estate, it has been fixed an amortization average period of 10 years.
The operating margin before interest and taxes (EBIT) of XYZ goes through a similar trend to the one of the
EBITDA in the estimated period. After a decrease of the amortizations in the past years, the new fixed asset
investment makes the amortizations increase and because of that, there is a lower operating profit.
As a result of the balance between sale and costs increases, the impact on EBIT is quite more significant that
in EBITDA (-2.9% vs -7.2% TACC 2009-2013 respectively).

www.e-valuation.us3. Valuation Methodology
In order to carry out the valuation of XYZ, e-Valuation has used contrasted valuation methodologies and
generally accepted by market analysts. The application of each of these methodologies, Discounted Cash Flow
(DCF) and Trading Comparable Companies, results in a specific valuation range estimated for XYZ. To arrive at
this valuation range for the company, a specific valuation range is primarily calculated for each methodology,
and each valuation is subsequently weighted under e-Valuation’s criteria. We believe that the use of these
methods improves the reliability of the valuation obtained, since they are complementary methods, and
allows us contrasting the results of each one (including basic assumptions used).
In the case of the DCF, the baseline information for the realization of the forecasts is principally based on e-
Valuation estimates. This information has enabled the elaboration of a qualitative and quantitative analysis of
the current situation and expected future development of XYZ.
If the strategy followed by the Company in the future varies from the one that has been submitted, or if the
information provided to e-Valuation has got discrepancies with reality, our view about the value of XYZ would
vary accordingly. Each of the methodologies previously named uses the information of XYZ in different ways,
providing complementary views of the business value.

www.e-valuation.us6. Conclusion: Valuation Range
Conclusion: Final Valuation Range
Taking into account the results obtained according to the methodologies described, and considering that our
reference methodology is the DCF (with a weight of 80%, compared to 20% of Tradings), we obtain an average
value, to which we apply a reliability range of +/- 10%.
Trading comparable method has been weighted with only 20% because companies with a high level of
comparability to XYZ have not been found, since they are also manufacturers and/or sell in bulk amounts and
have got a much larger size, and their geographical markets of action are not confined to Spain.
With these parameters, we conclude that the final range that falls within the enterprise value of XYZ is the
following: between 2,233,805 and 2,730,206 euros (between 3.9 x and 4.8 x times EBITDA recorded by the
Company in 2008 ).
Market Value of the Equity Value
To calculate the market value of XYZ’s shares (Equity Value), the company’s net debt (financial debt minus
cash) at the moment of the valuation has to be subtracted to the enterprise value previously analyzed.
Based on historical data provided by the company, and taking the amount of net debt of December 2008
(221.190 euros) as reference, the valuation range of the Equity Value of the company would be between
2,012,615 and 2,509,016 euros.

www.e-valuation.usEnclosure V. Glossary
Intangible Assets or Intangible Fixed Asset: Non-physical assets such as franchises, trademarks, patents, copyrights, goodwill,
shares, securities and contracts (as distinguished from physical assets) that grant rights and privileges.
Tangible Assets or Tangible Fixed Asset: Physical assets (such as machinery, property, etc).
Amortization: Accounting procedure that gradually reduces the cost of value of an asset, tangible or intangible, (e.g.
investments in research & development), through periodic charges to the profit and loss account in order to fix the costs during
its estimated profitable life.
Trading Comparable Companies: Business value obtained through methods that compare the company to be valued to similar
enterprises, dividing the market value of the last ones by a financial magnitude of the companies’ profit and loss account (such
as net income, net sales, etc). When multiplying by the same enterprise’s magnitude of the company to be valued, we will
obtain its approximate value.
EBIT: Earnings Before Interest and Taxes.
Balance Sheet: Statement of a company’s financial position at a given point in time. Lists the assets of a company and how
they have been financed. Total assets is liabilities plus shareholders’ equity.
Cost of Supplies: Cost related to the production, supply, transport and storage of raw materials and the materials used in the
production process. In this section can also be included the cost of outsourcing services to provide the customer.
Profit and Loss Account: Financial statement that shows the expenses and revenues generated during a period of time.
Weighted Average Cost of Capital: Calculated as the cost of equity * (equity value / firm value) + cost of debt * (net debt /
firm value) * (1- corporate tax). It is a discount rate typically used to discount future free cash flows to the moment of
valuation.
Discounted Cash Flows (DCF): Company’s valuation method based on the idea the value of a company is related to what it is
able to generate in the future. It is calculated as the future cash flows of a company, discounted back to present value using an
appropriate discount rate
Net Debt: Total debt of the company minus any cash or liquid funds that the company has but does not require for its operating
activity.
