Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for NYSE:WRE using 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity using Adjusted Funds From Operations Model
The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for Washington Real Estate Investment Trust is arrived at by discounting future cash flows to their present value using the 2 stage method. We use analyst's estimates of cash flows going forward 5 years for the 1st stage, the 2nd stage assumes the company grows at a stable rate into perpetuity.

This excludes depreciation and borrowing. Ideally analysts estimates of AFFO are used, where these aren't available we use FFO.
