Methodology

Despite the considerable differences between them, all appraisal methodologies derive from the same principle: that of substitution. According to it, no investor will pay a higher amount for a good if there is the possibility of paying less for another substitute and corresponding good.

Find below a summary of the appraisal methodologies.

*       Market approach - Aims at comparing the company being analyzed with others recently sold or being offered in the market (multiples or stock market listing).

*       Asset approach - Aims at analyzing the accounting records and appraising the net book value or the value of the shareholders' equity at the market value. The latter takes into consideration the adjustments made to the assets and liabilities appraised (difference between the net book value balance and the market value).

*       Income approach - It is also known as discounted cash flow. In this methodology, the market value of the company is equal to the sum of all the future monetary benefits that it can offer to its holder (future values converted to present value, at an appropriate rate).

The following table summarizes the methodologies described above and points out the indications, difficulties and advantages of each of them. APSIS shall determine the methodology which best suits the proposed objective.
