Analysis Details
Growth Rate Projection

An exponential growth model was fit to the past cash flow data, giving more weight to more recent years. This model determined a growth rate estimate of -56.8%.

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)

The calculated WACC is 5.3%. This value is used as the default discount rate.

Value of Future Flows

Assuming a growth rate of -56.8%, the cash flows for the next 5 years are projected.

The present value of each year's flow is adjusted to present value using the discount rate.

Year Future flow (million) Present value (million)
2023 0.0463 0.044
2024 0.02 0.018
2025 0.00864 0.00739
2026 0.00373 0.00303
2027 0.00161 0.00124
Terminal Value

Assuming a growth rate after the projection years of 2.0%, the terminal value of the company would be 0.0492 million. This corresponds to a present value of 0.036 million.

Intrinsic Value Per Share

The total present value of the projected cash flows is 0.0737 million. Adding in the terminal value gives a total present value of 0.11 million.

There are presently 23.4 million outstanding shares, so the intrinsic value per share is 0.0.
