This PPT slide, part of the 54-slide Value Creation Framework PowerPoint presentation, presents an overview of valuation methods that complement the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis. It emphasizes the importance of triangulating DCF results with other approaches to enhance accuracy and reliability.

The first method discussed is Market Multiples. This approach involves using trading multiples, which are derived from current market conditions and the company’s financial metrics such as EBITDA, sales, and net income. Market Multiples are primarily applicable to non-publicly traded companies or specific divisions, serving as a validation tool for DCF valuations. However, the slide notes significant limitations. It highlights that this method is not effective for assessing specific business changes. Additionally, finding pure play comparables can be challenging, as users often need to define their own comparables, which can lead to distortions due to varying accounting standards.

The second method is Transaction Multiples. This method calculates trading multiples based on historical transactions, again multiplied by financial performance metrics. It is particularly relevant in mergers and acquisitions. The limitations here are also notable. There is often a scarcity of comparable transactions, making financial data difficult to obtain. Moreover, transaction multiples can fluctuate significantly over time, and the process of defining comparables is subjective, which can impact the reliability of the analysis.

The slide underscores the necessity of understanding these methods and their constraints. It suggests that while DCF is a robust valuation tool, integrating these additional analyses can provide a more comprehensive view of a company's value, especially in complex financial environments.
