How should you conduct an analysis and valuation of digital businesses? These businesses often generate negative operating margins and cash flows, paired with double-digit revenue growth. Nevertheless, they can represent significant enterprise value because of high margins and cash flow farther out on the horizon. What are key financial and operating indicators for analysis of performance? What are best methods for estimating enterprise value?
This one day course will help you identify which direction a digital business is headed by providing approaches to develop and read financial and operating indicators. Find out the critical factors for the success of a digital business, and how to determine if such companies could expand their value creation in the future. In addition, the course provides guidance on how to setup a discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation of digital business, based on scenarios for long-term business performance and growth and how to select and apply valuation multiples.
