Financial Modeling
Spring 2020
Prof. Salgado
Final Project:
- Select and do your final project from one of the companies below
o Create a 5-year projections model for your case study company and value it using discounted cash flow
analysis
At a minimum, you have to have the following schedules in your model
Income Statement (IS)
Balance Sheet (BS)
Cash Flow Statement (CFS)
Statements / schedules can all be on one Excel sheet or in multiple sheets (but same workbook)
You can include other schedules (but it’s not mandatory) such as working capital, depreciation, equity,
debt & interest
HINT: take one of the templates from class (WeCo sample company or Tapestry) and replace financials
with your case study company
At least one historical year of income statement and balance sheet data (CFS historical data is not
necessary). You will find the latest 10K on your own
You will be making Make your own assumptions on
Growth rates (e.g. sales)
Margins (e.g. gross profit, SG&A)
Others (e.g. capex)
On a separate sheet (Excel or Word) defend those assumptions
The goal of the model is to get to unlevered free cash flows and ultimately value those cash flows to
obtain the company’s firm value (enterprise value)
o The DCF valuation
Should be presented as a range of values which you feel (based on all your assumptions) is the
company’s intrinsic value (value derived from company’s growth prospects, risk profile etc.)
Consider doing sensitivity analysis with data tables (not mandatory but helpful)
Feel free to use the WACC range (below) or calculate WACC on your own
Formulate an assumption for growth rate into perpetuity (if using perpetuity growth rate
methodology) or an EBITDA multiple assumption (if using exit multiple methodology)
HINT: move / copy sheet (Home, Format, Move or Copy Sheet) the DCF template into the case study
company’s Excel model and re-link as appropriate
o Deliverables (email me)
Excel model including at a minimum
Income Statement
Balance Sheet
Cash Flow
Discounted Cash Flow analysis
Range of enterprise values
A few points defending your assumptions
Your opinion on weather case study company is fairly valued, overvalued, undervalued
compared to its market price as of valuation date (sometime between April 21, 2020 and
May 1, 2020)
