Book Value of Equity per Share	Weighted future Book Value estimates from 5 analysts.	£5.87
Discount Rate (Cost of Equity)	See below	6.9%
Perpetual Growth Rate	10-Year DE Government Bond Rate	0.2%

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

Risk-Free Rate	10-Year DE Govt Bond Rate	0.2%
Equity Risk Premium	S&P Global	6.7%
Insurance Unlevered Beta	Simply Wall St/ S&P Global	0.69

Levered Beta	Levered Beta limited to 0.8 to 2.0 (practical range for a stable firm)	1

The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for Phoenix Group Holdings is arrived at using the Excess Return Model. This approach is used for finance firms where free cash flow is difficult to estimate.

In the Excess Return Model the value of a firm can be written as the sum of capital invested currently in the firm and the present value of excess returns that the firm expects to make in the future.

The model is sensitive to the Return on Equity of the company versus the Cost of Equity, how these are calculated is detailed below the main calculation.

Note the calculations below are per share.

See our documentation to learn about this calculation.

DB:1BF Value of Excess Returns
	Calculation	Result
Excess Returns	= (Stable Return on equity – Cost of equity) (Book Value of Equity per share) = (5.8% – 6.86%) * £5.87)	£-0.06
Terminal Value of Excess Returns	= Excess Returns / (Cost of Equity - Expected Growth Rate) = £-0.06 / (6.86% - 0.23%)	£-0.94
Value of Equity	= Book Value per share + Terminal Value of Excess Returns = £5.87 + £-0.94	£4.93

DB:1BF Discount to Share Price
	Calculation	Result
Value per share (EUR)	From above.	€5.42
Current discount	Discount to share price of €7.89 = -1 x (€7.89 - €5.42) / €5.42	-45.7%

Assets

Liabilities and shares

The 'shares' portion represents any funds contributed by the owners (shareholders) and any profits.

Low level of unsold assets.
Debt is covered by short term assets, assets are 8.1x debt.

Historical Debt

Nearly all companies have debt. Debt in itself isn’t bad, however if the debt is too high, or the company can’t afford to pay the interest on its debts this may have impacts in the future.

The graphic below shows equity (available funds) and debt, we ideally want to see the red area (debt) decreasing.

If there is any debt we look at the companies capability to repay it, and whether the level has increased over the past 5 years.
