Calculating UFCF Overview

1. Calculating UFCF Overview

So again, at this point, you should have downloaded the Business Valuation Model template that we're going to work through together. This is a different file from the Exercises template. Okay, so let's move over to the DCF Model tab. And again, we have our three financial statements stacked on top of one another. Let's just go ahead and hide those. We really don't need them. We included them again just so that you can see where a lot of the DCF numbers come from. So we have the three, in our statement, grouped. We'd see that on the left hand side of Excel. And if we want to collapse the grouping, we do Alt A+H that hides the Income Statement. We'll do the same thing with the Cash Flow Statement, Alt A+H, and then the Balance Sheet as well, Alt A+H. And now we're down at the point where we can start talking about and calculating our unlevered free cash flows. So we've covered three different ways to calculate unlevered free cash flows. We can scroll down and we have a section for each methodology, starting at EBIT earnings before interest and taxes, starting at net income and unlevered free cash flow using EBITDA. Up above here, we have Excerpts Provided from the Financial Statements. So we have everything we need here in these Excerpts Provided from the Financial Statements to calculate the unlevered free cash flows using the three different methods that we discussed in our presentation. At this point, please do your best, calculate unlevered free cash flow using all three methodologies, then we'll come back and we'll do it together. Remember though, regardless of which method you use, the unlevered free cash flows should all be the same.
