How does this work?

Assumptions
Revenue: Reuters aggregates 25 analysts covering $YHOO and these analysts have mean estimates of 2008 and 2009 revenues of US$5.69 and US$6.42 billion respectively. For our analysis we have used US$5.50 billion in 2008, US$6.15 billion in 2009 and US$6.75 billion in 2010.
Profitability: We have used an EBITDA margin of 33% flat to 2010.
Capital Expenditure: We have assumed capital expenditures of US$700 million in 2008, US$800 million in 2009 and 2010 and then US$750 million beyond that.
Discount Rate: 11.0%.
Terminal Growth Rate: 4.5%.
Our analysis incorporates the cash the $YHOO balance sheet – Valuecruncher calculates a net debt number.

Keeping the assumptions from the Yahoo standalone scenario intact but dropping the growth from 12% (in the Yahoo standalone scenario) in 2011 to 10% and falling to 3% in 2015 (using the same present value calculation) gives a terminal growth of 5%.

We agree with Henry Blodget – a deal with Google on search is not US$1 billion of free cash flow to Yahoo. It is more likely to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars range. For simplicity we have assumed that a search deal with Yahoo adds US$1 billion to the top-line revenues. We have kept all our other assumptions from the Yahoo standalone scenario intact.

Assumptions are revenues of US$5.75 billion in 2008 growing to US$7.25 billion in 2010. We have used a flat EBITDA margin of 35%. We have used a terminal growth rate of 5.75%. We calculated that using a present value calculation with the growth rate dropping from 12% in 2011 to 3.5% in 2015. We used a terminal capital expenditure number of US$600 billion. We have used a WACC (discount rate) of 10.5%.
