1. Stock valuation - A comparison of estimated values and marketprices Slim Perkins, a business journalist, is a recent hire at his firm. Since he joined the firm, he has been following Facebook Inc's (FB) initial public offering (IPO) and the stock's performance. His task is to estimate Facebook's fair market value, also referred to as "intrinsie" value, and compare this value with the current stock price, and recommend a buy, sell, or hold rating to investors. Slim pulls the company's consolidated financial statements to collect relevant data on the company's historical financial performance. He notices that the company assumes a 45% marginal tax rate after the IPO, and mentions that the company projects that user rates and revenue growth will decline over time. Slim starts his evaluation by calculating ratios of costs and expenses to revenues, interest expense to revenues, and others that will form the set of assumptions in his analysis which will be used to calculate free cash flows. 421,233,615 Shares FACEBOOK CLASS A COMMON STOCK Complete the following table.

Follow the discussion and complete the missing information: Since Facebook named Google as its prime competitor," I am inclined to use Google Inc.'s post-IPO performance as a benchmark for FB's expected financial performance for at least three to four years following the IPO. Does anyone already have the growth rates for Google's post-IPO revenues? NATALYA: Hi Slim, according to a trading blog 121 I follow, Google's post-IPO average revenue growth over five quarters was 18%. using a SLIM: Thank you, Natalya! I also discovered in the annual report that F3's internal projections use a 5% perpetual growth rate. I two-stage discounted cash flow model. I will base my FCF calculations on the following equation: FCF = Net Operating Profit After Taxes + Depreciation - Capital Expenditure - A in Net Operating Working Capital Am I missing something? TED: Slim, just one very important point. In your NOWC calculations I recommend using the growth in current assets as the assumption for growth in current liabilities after two years because current liabilities cannot grow faster than current assets forever. Such rundown on WC is not sustainable. You could use Google's WACC in your calculations. Google is currently using a 9.5% WACC. Investors would require an additional premium of 7.5% for Facebook's stock. SLIM: Thanks, Ted! This information is really helpful. Using Google as a comparable, it would be fair to use these values to calculate FB's investors' required rate of return, which will be After discussing the different aspects of the valuation, Slim puts together his FCF projections. Complete the missing elements from his projection: Note: When entering intermediate calculations, round to the nearest whole number, but do not round the intermediate calculations when determining final answers. For example: If the revenue growth rate is 11%, and the answers for revenue for 2012-2014 are 1103, 1224.33, and 1359.0063, then you should enter 1103, 1224, and 1359 as answers, but use 1359.0063 to calculate the revenue for 2015. If your answer is negative, use a minus (-) sign. 2012 (in millions) 1896 2013 (in millions) 18% 2014 (in millions) 1896 2015 (in millions) 1896 2016 (in millions) 18% 2017 (in millions) 596 2018 (in millions) 5% Revenue growth rate Revenues $ $ $ $ $ $ - Total costs and expenses Income from operations (EBIT) - Taxes Net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) Operating current assets Operating current liabilities NOWC Change in NOWC Net fixed assets (plant property & equipment) Change in net fixed assets + Depreciation and amortization Capital expenditure Free cash flow Present value of FCF Horizon value Present value of horizon value Total firm value III The value of total long-term liabilities that FB reported in 2011 was 5 million, and the value of preferred stock in 2011 was $ million.
