OUR APPROACH

​

Depending on each individual circumstance, whether due to a regulatory requirement or based on our ability to access reliable information, we select the most approach valuation methodology and then use an alternative method to provide a cross-check to get a more accurate valuation range, to provide a fair value you can rely on.

​

• Market Approach – involving observation of comparable businesses and their implied value based on their trading performance or precedent transactions where an implied value can be derived. HMW Capital has access to a global market intelligence platform and database to get up-to-date comparative data of listed and unlisted companies.

• Income Approach – includes valuing companies based on either a capitalisation of future maintainable earnings using comparative and adjusted implied multiples to earnings or Discount Cash Flow methodology which takes the cash flow projected into the future and applies a discount to bring it back to the current value.
  A DCF valuation takes into account the cost of equity and cost of debt to calculate the discount factor. This methodology takes into account a range of factors to assess the risk and ultimately the worth of the Company.

• Adjusted Net Asset Approach – to determine a fair market or present value of the asset net of liabilities.
