Hyatt Hotels Corporation“HCC” (NYSE: H)Cost of Capital and Valuation Meghan Shevlin February 12, 2014
HHC • Hyatt: global hospitality company engaged in management, franchising, ownership and development of Hyatt-branded hotels, resorts, residences • Highly competitive industry with 21M rooms available • Hyatt owns 500 properties (135,144 rooms) • Hotel industry still suffering from the recession • Industry growth of 3.3% expected through 2018
Overview • Bloomberg Information • Beta Estimate • Cost of Capital using CAPM • Cost of Debt • Weighted Average Cost of Capital • DCF with updated WACC
Beta • Measure of the risk from general market movements that cannot be diversified away • Returns for the market and Hyatt through 2014 for regression purposes • Hyatt went public November 2009 • r=
Beta Estimate con’t Beta Estimate 95% confidence that Beta is between .92 and 1.62 Beta > 1 suggests price movements are correlated to market movements
Beta Estimate • Since no estimates of Beta fell outside of the range in the regression the average was taken: • Beta: 1.30 • Hyatt is 30% more volatile than the overall market
Cost of Equity using CAPM Risk premium • Market return is typically between 9-13% • An equity investor requires an 11.93% rate of return when they invest in Hyatt • Requires a higher return because the risk in equity is driven by both enterprise risk and changes in cost of debt
Cost of Debt • Rates on perceived level of risk • Cost of Debt: 4.62% • Used FEAT/Avg NFL because it takes more into account (i.e. interest income, gain AFS sec) than Interest Expense/Debt
WACC • WACC: risk-adjusted discount rate • Hyatt has excess cash on hand and an interest expense on borrowing • Cash on hand is generating a negative return (could invest elsewhere or pay off debt) • WACC: 10.30%
DCF • Enterprise Value was previously $5.985 B @ 10% rate • Slight increase in WACC caused a roughly 300M decrease in Enterprise Value
Conclusion • Cost of debt and equity capital are used to estimate enterprise capital but are not sources of risk for the enterprise • Risks relate to operations and borrowing
