Valuation

Valuation plays a fundamental role in many business activities of strategic importance, including mergers and acquisitions, impairment tests, tax rulings, or disputes. We provide valuation services to support you in all of these, using methods from modern Corporate Finance and Econometrics.

DCF analysis. We use discounted cashflow analysis to estimate the value of companies, individual assets or asset portfolios.

Cost of capital and optimal leverage assessment. We estimate your company’s cost of capital considering leverage, exposure to demand and cost risks, interest rates, and other relevant factors.

Regulatory finance. We use methods from regulatory finance to create robust tariff and revenue as well as profit forecasts.

Financeability assessments. We stress test liquidity ratio targets and debt service abilities based on business plan cashflow forecasts.

Regulatory due diligence. We apply our know-how in regulatory economics and regulatory finance to test the fundamentals and outlook of your regulated target acquisitions.

Asset valuation in the context of tax rulings. We give expert opinions that can be fed into proceedings with tax authorities on the valuation of employee shares, non-monetary benefits to staff and other tax-relevant transactions.
