This analysis can also provide insight into the sensitivity of a valuation to key inputs; as shown on the following page. As this method requires an estimate of future cash flows it is most suitable for companies that; have a history of stable financial performance.; We have used Trade Me (NZX:TME) for this example given its historically stable growth rate and margins. As this is illustrative; only (and not a viewpoint on Trade Me's value) we have used inputs that mean the DCF calculation is equal to the current share; price ($4.36). Key inputs include an 8-year linear revenue forecast EBITDA margin at 70% across an 8-year forecast period a; discount rate of 9% and a 1.5% terminal growth rate. Net working capital has not been included. Yellow cells are inputs.; The steps below provide a quick DCF; valuation for one years' worth of results.; This is an illustrative example not an equity research report designed to value Trade Me. This report shows how to conduct a highlevel; DCF valuation using Trade Me as an example. Clare Capital is not implying that Trade Me is either under or overvalued given; the output of the example. A DCF valuation requires a detailed financial model as a starting point rather than a single point; revenue forecast and constant EBITDA margin. We have not independently verified any of the inputs below.; CLARE CAPITAL TECH INSIGHTS; DCF Valuation Sensitivity Analysis Revenue and Growth; Terminal Value; Free Cashflow in Final Period 161; Plus: Inflation Uplift 2; Annual CF Post Forecast Period 163; Multiplier (1/r-g) 13.33; TV @ Final Year of Forecast Period 2 176; Discount Factor in Final Period 0.50; Present Value of Terminal Value 1 092; Discount Rate Share Price; Enterprise Value 7% 6.12; Present Value of Free Cashflows 724 8% 5.10; Present Value of Terminal Value 1 092 9% 4.36; Enterprise Value 1 816 10% 3.80; 11% 3.35; Equity Value (Market Capitalisation); Enterprise Value 1 816 EBITDA Margin Share Price; Plus: Cash 53 60% 3.59; Less: Debt 136 65% 3.98 EBITDA and Margin; Market Capitalisation 1 733 70% 4.36; 75% 4.75; Share Price 80% 5.13; Market Capitalisation 1 733; Number of Shares 397 Capital Expenditure Share Price; Share Price 4.36 (8%) 4.58; (9%) 4.47; Disclaimer (10%) 4.36; (11%) 4.25; (12%) 4.15; Terminal Growth Rate Share Price; 0.5% 4.01; 1.0% 4.18; 1.5% 4.36; 2.0% 4.57; 2.5% 4.82; A sensitivity analysis shows the impact of; changing one input on the valuation of a; company by keeping all other variables; constant.

We have only included companies with; revenues greater than $2 million. The EV/Revenue multiple is a metric which shows how the market is valuing each dollar of revenue generated by the company.; There are four components which make up the metric:; The numerator represents the Enterprise Value = Market; Capitalisation + Debt - Cash. We remove the capital structure; from the equity value (Market Capitalisation) to generate the; Enterprise Value. The change in multiple is illustrated by:; This can be somewhat counter-intuitive if the rate of; revenue growth is faster than the rate of value growth then; a company's multiple will fall.; The information provided in this report has been solely sourced and calculated from FactSet.

Most NZX companies have their annual results 12 months to 31 March where their interim results are the six months to 30; September. Most ASX have their annual results to 30 June six-month interim results to 31 December. To calculate the LTM results for NZX companies like Plexure who report their; six month interim results to 30 September this is the second half of the previous financial year plus the first half of this financial year (H2 [1 October to 31 March] + H1 [1 April to 30; September]). ASX companies will be the same just three months ahead. A company's annual results will be the same as their LTM result.; This week with the recent release of their results we are putting a spotlight on Plexure.
