EXPE grew revenues from US$1.8 billion in 2004 to US$2.7 billion in 2007 – a 14% compound annual growth rate. Our assumptions of revenues for the next three years are US$3.0 billion in 2008 growing to US$3.75 billion in 2010 – a 12% compound annual growth rate (2007-10). We have projected EBITDA margins to be flat at 25% to 2010. We have used a terminal growth rate of 3.75%. We calculated this terminal growth rate based on year three (2009-10) growth of 10% dropping to a 3.0% stable growth rate by year 10. We used a terminal capital expenditure number of US$150 million. We have used a WACC (discount rate) of 12.0%.
The key assumptions as we see them are:
EXPE Revenues for the next three years. We believe that 12% per annum growth (2007-10) is a reasonable estimate.
EXPE WACC. We view EXPE’s WACC in the 11-13% range. We took a mid-point. This discount rate is intended to reflect the potential uncertainties of the EXPE cash flows in the near term.
