Value

Is Rexel undervalued based on future cash flows and its price relative to the stock market?

Value is all about what a company is worth versus what price it is available for. If you went into a grocery store and all the bananas were on sale at half price, they could be considered undervalued.

INTRINSIC VALUE BASED ON FUTURE CASH FLOWS

Here we compare the current share price of Rexel to its discounted cash flow analysis.value.

The discounted cash flow value is simply looking at what the company is worth today, based on estimates of how much money it is expected to make in the future.

Raw Data

Below are the data sources, inputs and calculation used to determine the intrinsic value for Rexel.

ENXTPA:RXL Discounted Cash Flow Data Sources
Data Point	Source	Value
Valuation Model		2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity
Levered Free Cash Flow	Average of 14 Analyst Estimates (S&P Global)	See below
Discount Rate (Cost of Equity)	See below	9.2%
Perpetual Growth Rate	10-Year FR Government Bond Rate	0.7%

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 ENXTPA:RXL
Data Point	Calculation/ Source	Result
Risk-Free Rate	10-Year FR Govt Bond Rate	0.7%
Equity Risk Premium	S&P Global	6.7%
Trade Distributors Unlevered Beta	Simply Wall St/ S&P Global	0.92
Re-levered Beta	= Unlevered beta (1 + (1- tax rate) (Debt/Equity)) = 0.924 (1 + (1- 33%) (78.65%))	1.276
Levered Beta	Levered Beta limited to 0.8 to 2.0 (practical range for a stable firm)	1.28
Discount Rate/ Cost of Equity	= Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + (Levered Beta * Equity Risk Premium) = 0.73% + (1.276 * 6.65%)	9.22%

Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for ENXTPA:RXL using 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Model

The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for Rexel 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.

ENXTPA:RXL DCF 2nd Stage: Terminal Value
	Calculation	Result
Terminal Value	= FCF₂₀₂₈ × (1 + g) ÷ (Discount Rate – g) = €541.50 × (1 + 0.73%) ÷ (9.22% – 0.73%)	€6,430.19

	Calculation	Result
Total Equity Value	= Present value of next 10 years cash flows + Terminal Value = €2,726.90 + €2,662.96	€5,389.86
Equity Value per Share (EUR)	= Total value / Shares Outstanding = €5,389.86 / 301.83	€17.86

Current Discount

Amount off the current price Rexel is available for.

39%

Share price is €10.89 vs Future cash flow value of €17.86

Current Discount Checks

For Rexel to be considered undervalued it must be available for at least 20% below the current price. Less than 40% is even better.

Rexel's share price is below the future cash flow value, and at a moderate discount (> 20%).
Rexel's share price is below the future cash flow value, but not at a substantial discount (< 40%).

PRICE RELATIVE TO MARKET

We can also value a company based on what the stock market is willing to pay for it. This is similar to the price of fruit (e.g. Mangoes or Avocados) increasing when they are out of season, or how much your home is worth.

The amount the stock market is willing to pay for Rexel's earnings, growth and assets is considered below, and whether this is a fair price.

Performance last year

We want to ensure a company is making the most of what it has available. This is done by comparing the return (profit) to a company's available funds, assets and capital.

Rexel has not efficiently used shareholders’ funds last year (Return on Equity less than 20%).
Rexel used its assets less efficiently than the FR Trade Distributors industry average last year based on Return on Assets.
Rexel has improved its use of capital last year versus 3 years ago (Return on Capital Employed).

Past performance checks

We assess Rexel's performance over the past 5 years by checking for:

Has earnings increased in past 5 years? (1 check)
Has the earnings growth in the last year exceeded that of the Trade Distributors industry? (1 check)
Is the recent earnings growth over the last year higher than the average annual growth over the past 5 years? (1 check)
Is the Return on Equity (ROE) higher than 20%? (1 check)
Is the Return on Assets (ROA) above industry average? (1 check)
Has the Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) increased from 3 years ago? (1 check)

The above checks will fail if the company has reported a loss in the most recent earnings report. Some checks require at least 3 or 5 years worth of data.
Rexel has a total score of 3/6, see the detailed checks below.

Note: We use GAAP Net Income excluding extraordinary items in all our calculations.

Health

How is Rexel's financial health and their level of debt?

A company's financial position is much like your own financial position, it includes everything you own (assets) and owe (liabilities).

The boxes below represent the relative size of what makes up Rexel's finances.

The net worth of a company is the difference between its assets and liabilities.

Net Worth

Rexel is able to meet its short term (1 year) commitments with its holdings of cash and other short term assets.
Rexel's cash and other short term assets cover its long term commitments.

Balance sheet

This treemap shows a more detailed breakdown of Rexel's finances. If any of them are yellow this indicates they may be out of proportion and red means they relate to one of the checks below.

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 1.9x 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.

ENXTPA:RXL Historical Dividend Yield, May 10th 2019 Payout ratios Companies (usually) pay dividends out of their earnings. … If a company is paying more than it earns, the dividend might have to be cut. … Dividend Growth Potential With a relatively unstable dividend, it's even more important to evaluate if earnings per share (EPS) are growing - it's not worth taking the risk on a dividend getting cut, unless you might be rewarded with larger dividends in future.
