Valuation Model		Excess Returns Model
Stable EPS	Weighted future Return on Equity estimates from 4 analysts. = Stable Book Value * Return on Equity = £1.51 * 22%	£0.33
Book Value of Equity per Share	Weighted future Book Value estimates from 5 analysts.	£1.51
Discount Rate (Cost of Equity)	See below	6.4%
Perpetual Growth Rate	10-Year GB Government Bond Rate	1.2%

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 GB Govt Bond Rate	1.2%
Equity Risk Premium	S&P Global	6%
Capital Markets Unlevered Beta	Simply Wall St/ S&P Global	0.73
Re-levered Beta	= Unlevered beta (1 + (1- tax rate) (Debt/Equity)) = 0.735 (1 + (1- 20%) (9.8%))	0.861
Levered Beta	Levered Beta limited to 0.8 to 2.0 (practical range for a stable firm)	0.86

Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for LSE:SNN using Excess Returns Model Model

The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for Sanne Group 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.

LSE:SNN Value of Excess Returns
	Calculation	Result
Excess Returns	= (Stable Return on equity – Cost of equity) (Book Value of Equity per share) = (22% – 6.36%) * £1.51)	£0.24
Terminal Value of Excess Returns	= Excess Returns / (Cost of Equity - Expected Growth Rate) = £0.24 / (6.36% - 1.23%)	£4.60
Value of Equity	= Book Value per share + Terminal Value of Excess Returns = £1.51 + £4.60	£6.11

LSE:SNN Discount to Share Price
	Calculation	Result
Value per share (GBP)	From above.	£6.11
Current discount	Discount to share price of £6.08 = -1 x (£6.08 - £6.11) / £6.11	0.5%
