Therefore, the enterprise value can be thought of as the effective cost of buying a business (excluding takeover premiums).<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7261\" src=\"https:\/\/intelekbusinessvaluations.com\/en-au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Enterprise-Value-1.jpg\" alt=\"Enterprise Value Australia\" width=\"700\" height=\"438\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>Enterprise value can be calculated as follows:<\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>EV = Market Capitalization + Preferred Shares + Market Value of Debt + Minority Interest \u2013 Cash and Cash Equivalents<\/p>\n<h2>Components of Enterprise Value:<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Equity Value (Market Capitalization): a company\u2019s equity value is calculated by taking the company\u2019s fully diluted shares and multiplying it by a stock\u2019s current market price. One must note that fully diluted shares include in-the-money options, warrants, and convertible securities, aside from just the basic shares outstanding<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Market Value of Debt: debt includes interest-bearing liabilities, such as short-term and long-term debt. The amount of debt is adjusted by subtracting cash from it because, in theory, when a company has been acquired, the acquirer can use the target company\u2019s cash to pay a portion of the assumed debt. If the market value of debt is unknown, the book value of debt can be used instead<\/li>\n<li>Preferred Stock: hybrid securities that have features of both\u00a0equity and debt. In this case, they are treated more as debt because they pay a fixed amount of dividends and have a higher priority in asset and earning claims than common stock<\/li>\n<li>Minority Interest or Noncontrolling Interest: the part of the subsidiary that is not owned by the parent company. When calculating the enterprise value of the parent company, we include minority interests, as the parent company has\u00a0consolidated financial statements with that minority interest (meaning the parent includes 100% of the revenues, expenses, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/intelekbusinessvaluations.com\/en\/financial-statements\/cash-flow\/\"><strong>cash flow<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in its numbers even though it doesn\u2019t own 100% of the business as per U.S. accounting rules)<\/li>\n<li>Cash and Cash Equivalents: the most liquid assets on a company\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/intelekbusinessvaluations.com\/en\/financial-statements\/balance-sheet\/\"><strong>balance sheet<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0Examples of cash equivalents are short-term investments,\u00a0marketable securities, commercial paper, and money market funds.\u00a0We subtract this amount from the enterprise value because it will reduce the acquiring costs of the target company. It is assumed that the acquirer will use the\u00a0cash to immediately pay a dividend or pay off debt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>An example:<\/h2>\n<p>Company ABC\u2019s financial information is as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Shares outstanding: 200,000<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Market value per share: $4.5<\/li>\n<li>Market value of debt: $30,000<\/li>\n<li>Cash and cash equivalents: $75,000<\/li>\n<li>Minority Interest: $130,000<\/li>\n<li>Preferred Stock: $0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thus, we know that company ABC\u2019s market capitalization is as follows:<\/p>\n<p>= Shares outstanding X market value per share<\/p>\n<p>= 200,000 X $4.5<\/p>\n<p>= $900,000<\/p>\n<p>Thus, we now calculate company ABC\u2019s enterprise value using the following formula:<\/p>\n<p>Enterprise Value (EV) = Market Capitalization + Preferred Shares + Market Value of Debt + Minority Interest \u2013 Cash and Cash Equivalents<\/p>\n<p>EV = $900,000 + $0 + $30,000 + $130,000 \u2013 $75,000<\/p>\n<h2><strong>EV = $985,000<\/strong><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post will take a dive into the enterprise value concept\u2014an important concept in private business valuations. \u00a0As its name suggests, enterprise value (EV) is the measure of a company\u2019s total value.
