The discounted cash flow approach to valuing a firm
involves the following steps:
1. Analysing historical performance
2. Estimating the cost capital
3. Forecasting performance
4. Determining the continuing value
5. Calculating the firm value and interpreting the results.

4. Analysing Historical Performance
 Reorganising the financial statements to get a handle
over economic performance, instead of accounting
performance, in terms of net operating profit less
adjusted taxes (NOPLAT) and free cash flow (FCF).
 Getting a perspective on the drivers of FCF.
 Measuring and analysing the return on invested
capital (ROIC) to assess the ability of the company to
create value.
 Decomposing revenue growth into various
components.
 Assessing the company’s financial health and capital
structure.
