The boring details
| All amounts in millions | Figures |
| Enterprise Value: | 108,058 |
| Net Debt (Long-term borrowings less cash): | -15,386 |
| Equity Value: | 164,070 |
| Number of Shares Outstanding: | 881,000,000 |
| Calculated value per share: | $146.70 |
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.

Our assumptions are revenues of US$32.8 billion in 2008 growing to US$48.0 billion in 2010. We have used a flat EBITDA margin of 21% from 2008. We have used a terminal growth rate of 5.75%. We calculated that using a present value calculation with the growth rate dropping from 17.5% in 2011 to 3.5% in 2015 (the current projected growth from 2009 to 2010 is 18-20%). We used a terminal capital expenditure number of US$900 million. We have used a WACC (discount rate) of 11.0%.
