Study Notes
EVA Methodology
- For valuation using EVA methodology, the following variables are needed: Invested capital, Historical growth rates, and Unlevered FCF.
- EVA is not a more precise methodology than DCF, and DCF is not preferred to EVA because EVA does not require sensitivity analysis.
- The growth rate and WACC have a significant impact on EVA valuation.
EVA Calculation
- To calculate the total value created by a firm, the formula is: NOPAT / (Cost of capital)
- For example, if a firm has a constant perpetual NOPAT of $100m and a cost of capital of 10%, the total value created is $100m / 0.10 = $1,000m, and the present value of the firm's capital is $1,000m - $300m = $700m.
Economic Value Added (EVA)
- The formula to calculate EVA is: Net profit, after tax - (capital invested * WACC)
- EVA measures the value created by a firm above its cost of capital.
