Estimating The Intrinsic Value Of Ormester Vagyonvédelmi Nyrt. (BUSE:ORMESTER)

In this article we are going to estimate the intrinsic value of Ormester Vagyonvédelmi Nyrt. (BUSE:ORMESTER) by estimating the company's future cash flows and discounting them to their present value. Our analysis will employ the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. Before you think you won't be able to understand it, just read on! It's actually much less complex than you'd imagine.

Remember though, that there are many ways to estimate a company's value, and a DCF is just one method. If you still have some burning questions about this type of valuation, take a look at the Simply Wall St analysis model.

The calculation

We use what is known as a 2-stage model, which simply means we have two different periods of growth rates for the company's cash flows. Generally the first stage is higher growth, and the second stage is a lower growth phase. To begin with, we have to get estimates of the next ten years of cash flows. Seeing as no analyst estimates of free cash flow are available to us, we have extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the company's last reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years.

A DCF is all about the idea that a dollar in the future is less valuable than a dollar today, and so the sum of these future cash flows is then discounted to today's value:

	2021	2022	2023	2024	2025	2026	2027	2028	2029	2030
Levered FCF (HUF, Millions)	Ft44.5m	Ft69.5m	Ft97.2m	Ft124.6m	Ft149.8m	Ft171.6m	Ft189.8m	Ft204.6m	Ft216.7m	Ft226.5m
Growth Rate Estimate Source	Est @ 79.71%	Est @ 56.21%	Est @ 39.76%	Est @ 28.25%	Est @ 20.19%	Est @ 14.55%	Est @ 10.6%	Est @ 7.83%	Est @ 5.9%	Est @ 4.54%
Present Value (HUF, Millions) Discounted @ 9.1%	Ft40.8	Ft58.4	Ft74.7	Ft87.8	Ft96.7	Ft101	Ft103	Ft102	Ft98.6	Ft94.4

("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)
Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = Ft857m

We now need to calculate the Terminal Value, which accounts for all the future cash flows after this ten year period. The Gordon Growth formula is used to calculate Terminal Value at a future annual growth rate equal to the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield of 1.4%. We discount the terminal cash flows to today's value at a cost of equity of 9.1%.

Terminal Value (TV)= FCF₂₀₃₀ × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = Ft227m× (1 + 1.4%) ÷ (9.1%– 1.4%) = Ft3.0b

Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)¹⁰= Ft3.0b÷ ( 1 + 9.1%)¹⁰= Ft1.2b

The total value is the sum of cash flows for the next ten years plus the discounted terminal value, which results in the Total Equity Value, which in this case is Ft2.1b. To get the intrinsic value per share, we divide this by the total number of shares outstanding. Compared to the current share price of Ft890, the company appears around fair value at the time of writing. Valuations are imprecise instruments though, rather like a telescope - move a few degrees and end up in a different galaxy. Do keep this in mind.

The assumptions

Now the most important inputs to a discounted cash flow are the discount rate, and of course, the actual cash flows. Part of investing is coming up with your own evaluation of a company's future performance, so try the calculation yourself and check your own assumptions. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at Ormester Vagyonvédelmi Nyrt as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 9.1%, which is based on a levered beta of 0.918. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business.

Looking Ahead:

Valuation is only one side of the coin in terms of building your investment thesis, and it shouldn't be the only metric you look at when researching a company. DCF models are not the be-all and end-all of investment valuation. Preferably you'd apply different cases and assumptions and see how they would impact the company's valuation. For example, changes in the company's cost of equity or the risk free rate can significantly impact the valuation.
