The boring details
| All amounts in millions | Figures |
| Enterprise Value: | 2,625 |
| Net Debt (Long-term borrowings less cash): | 983 |
| Equity Value: | 1,373 |
| Number of Shares Outstanding: | 143,000,000 |
| Calculated value per share: | $7.66 |
Enterprise Value is the present value of the post-tax cash flows for a business into the future.
Where:
- C1, C2, C3 - the cash flow in period 1, 2, 3, ...
- r - the discount rate
To capture the cash flows into the future a terminal value is calculated via a perpetuity calculation -
based on the final years forecast post-tax free cash flow.
Where:
- Cn - the cash flow in the final forecast period.
- LTG - the long-term growth rate
- r - the discount rate
- g - the terminal growth rate
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is used to determine the equity component in the discount rate.
Where:
- rt - the risk free rate
- t - the tax rate
- B - the beta of the company
- MRP - the Market Risk Premium
Valuecruncher uses an estimate of Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) to determine the discount rate in the calculation.

Assumptions
Revenue: Reuters aggregates six analysts covering $NYT and these produce mean estimates of 2008 and 2009 revenues of US$2.99 billion and US$2.92 billion respectively. For our analysis we have used US$2.975 billion in 2008, US$2.835 billion in 2009 and US$2.725 billion in 2010.
Profitability: We have used an EBITDA margin of 14.0% flat to 2010.
Capital Expenditure: We have assumed capital expenditures of US$150.0 million in 2008 then US$75.0 million in 2009 and 2010. We have then assumed US$150 million per annum moving forward.
Discount Rate: 8.0%.
Terminal Growth Rate: 0%. We have assumed zero growth moving forward. If we factor in any growth at all this positively impacts the valuation.
Our analysis incorporates the cash and debt the $NYT balance sheet – Valuecruncher calculates a net debt number.
