TSX:DIR.UN Discounted Cash Flow Data Sources
Data Point	Source	Value

An important part of a discounted cash flow is the discount rate, below we explain how it has been calculated.

Calculation of Discount Rate/ Cost of Equity for TSX:DIR.UN

Risk-Free Rate	10-Year CA Govt Bond Rate	1.9%
Equity Risk Premium	S&P Global	6%

Levered Beta	Levered Beta limited to 0.8 to 2.0 (practical range for a stable firm)	0.8

Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for TSX:DIR.UN using 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity using Adjusted Funds From Operations Model

The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for Dream Industrial Real Estate Investment Trust is arrived at by discounting future cash flows to their present value using the 2 stage method. We try to start with analysts estimates of free cash flow, however if these are not available we use the most recent financial results. In the 1st stage we continue to grow the free cash flow over a 10 year period, with the growth rate trending towards the perpetual growth rate used in the 2nd stage. The 2nd stage assumes the company grows at a stable rate into perpetuity.

Dream Industrial Real Estate Investment Trust is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), we use funds from operations (FFO) or adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) instead of levered free cash flow for REITs. This excludes depreciation and borrowing. Ideally analysts estimates of AFFO are used, where these aren't available we use FFO.

TSX:DIR.UN DCF 2nd Stage: Terminal Value
	Calculation	Result
Terminal Value	= FCF₂₀₂₈ × (1 + g) ÷ (Discount Rate – g) = CA$131.95 × (1 + 1.95%) ÷ (6.72% – 1.95%)	CA$2,821.37
Present Value of Terminal Value	= Terminal Value ÷ (1 + r)¹⁰ = CA$2,821.37 ÷ (1 + 6.72%)¹⁰	CA$1,473.01

TSX:DIR.UN Total Equity Value
	Calculation	Result
Total Equity Value	= Present value of next 10 years cash flows + Terminal Value = CA$820.00 + CA$1,473.01	CA$2,293.01
Equity Value per Share (CAD)	= Total value / Shares Outstanding = CA$2,293.01 / 137.99	CA$16.63
