The boring details
| All amounts in millions | Figures |
| Enterprise Value: | 268,659 |
| Net Debt (Long-term borrowings less cash): | -14,218 |
| Equity Value: | 170,332 |
| Number of Shares Outstanding: | 314,000,000 |
| Calculated value per share: | $590.39 |
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.

1. Growth – where Google’s current dominance of on-line search and advertising is enhanced and revenues grow faster than anticipated in the base case. This scenario holds all the inputs from the base case constant except that we have increased the terminal growth to 7.0% – based on 2011 growth of 20% decreasing to 5% over ten years – and lifted EBITDA margins to 42.5%. This scenario has a valuation of US$590.39 per share. This is 8.9% above the current share price and 22.5% above our base case valuation.
