How does this work?

KO grew revenues from US$21.7 billion in 2004 to US$28.9 billion in 2007 – a 9.9% compound annual growth rate. Our assumptions of revenues for the next three years are US$33.15 billion in 2008 growing to US$36.65 billion in 2010 – an 8.3% compound annual growth rate. We have projected EBITDA margins to be 29% in 2008 then flat at 30% to 2010. We have used a terminal growth rate of 3.25%. We calculated this terminal growth rate based on year three (2009-10) growth of 4.1% dropping to a 3.0% stable growth rate by year 10. We used a terminal capital expenditure number of US$1.75 billion. We have used a WACC (discount rate) of 8.0%.
WACC at 9% - Coca-Cola is a company with pretty stable cash flows (limited variability - therefore lower WACC). Terminal growth at 4.5%. I believe there is growth in emerging markets still to achieve. EBITDA margins at a healthy 30% - selling fizzy water is a great business model (but a big brand spend).
