Sensitivity Analysis of Indirect Valuation • Step 1: Perform sensitivity analysis of enterprise value • Increased/decreased by 1% pt and 2% pt to capture uncertainties within forecast • Fixed-horizon growth rate was modified (as opposed to the continuing growth rate) because it is more subjective
Sensitivity Analysis of Indirect Valuation • Step 2: Adjust the enterprise values to reflect Wendy’s value today (as opposed to 12/31/13). • Enterprise Value * (1 + Discount Rate)^(83/365)
Sensitivity Analysis of Indirect Valuation • Step 3: Subtract NFL to arrive at equity value
Sensitivity Analysis of Indirect Valuation • Share Value
