11.  After analysing the market and our
company, we identified 4 competitors which
operate in the same market and whose
businesses are tightly connected to
Brevini’s
 Using the historical data available for our
competitors, we built a statistical periodic
fit with the least squares method
and, hence, we were able to determine the
future ROICs for those companies

14. ◦ We applied the ROIC trend deduced from our
competitors to Brevini, keeping in mind that:
• We have expected a constant growth rate for the IC, which is explained
by Brevini’s will to bust its production and geographical expansion
 The parameters of this function respond to the qualitative sentiments
that have been presented in our SWOT analysis
 We have assumed an higher “pro-cyclical” movement than most of the
other competitors and a more flexible capital structure, which has
allowed Brevini to reduce the negative effect of the revenue contraction
 this has lead to an upward asymmetrical behavior

17. ◦ The key element of DCF and how we have estimated
them:
 Ke: we have used a Market model, based on the CAPM
WACC
 Kd: we have used the Debt ratio to find the
appropriate rating and the cost of debt.
 We have analyzed the historical path of the main
financial items to find out the relationship between
them and any existing trend.
FCF
 We have estimated the revenues growth rate through a
three period model that describes our qualitative
judgment on the company.

18.  Capital structure :
◦ Our target has been the characteristic median Debt-to-Equity
ratio in the industrial machinery market, which is about 14%
(source: McKinsey)
◦ This goal is too far from the present structure, so we have
developed a correction in the DCF model, to better fit our
hypothesis with those of the model
◦ The company is not financially distressed, therefore the book
value of the net debt can be a good proxy of its market value
◦ The market equity value has been calculated through an iteration
◦ Our solution has been to develop a changing structure
from 2010 to 2014, which has lead to a variable
WACC, due to changes in Ke, Kd and weights

19. o Ke has been calculated using the formula:
Risk free + Beta*Mkt premium
o The risk free chosen is an equally weighted blend
between the most recent German and Italian 10y zero
coupon bonds rate, because the company is mainly
exposed in those two countries
o The market risk premium has been taken from the
paper by Fernandez. It is an average between the
German and Italian ones for the same reason as before
o The marginal tax rate chosen is 30%

◦ The target structure has been decided using the average of

developed a variation to the DCF model. Mainly, we re-
levered the beta using different target D/E between 2010

our company, following our expectations:
◦ We have assumed a variable interest expense linked to
the German and Italian 5y bonds + the premium
corresponding to its rating (Spread Approach, though
Interest Coverage Ratio calculation)
◦ We have taken into account the possible future
monetary policy, which is going to cause the increase
of the risk free rate, but at the same time our rating
will improve and, so, the spread reduce. In
conclusion, we hypnotised a stable level of Kd of
5.5%, considering the result of the two opposite effects

The chart above is a sensitivity analysis on the WACC. The row
represents a standard deviation range from the beta value used, the
column is a range of possible market premiums.

25. 1. We have divided our model into three time periods:
◦ 2010-2014  We have built an IS & BS by estimating each item
◦ 2015-2024  By estimating Key drivers
◦ 2025-infinity  We have computed a terminal steady growth rate using
macroeconomical inputs
2. We have chosen different tools to implement our
proxies for each period, the ratio for each of them is:
◦ In the first period, we have less uncertainty, so we have felt
confident enough to develop three scenarios with a
considerably low standard deviation
◦ In the second period, due to higher uncertainty, we have
developed three scenarios with a higher volatility
◦ In the last period, we have relied on the general accepted
belief that the firm will reach a certain stability and will
follow the global growth rate

26.  We have set up three different scenarios:
◦ The Normal case will assume that the firm will follow its forecast growth
path, which has been estimated through a periodic function based on
historical data
◦ The Best scenario is going to assume that the firm’s revenues will have
the same growth rate as the market when the economy faces a
downturn, while it will keep its forecast growth in positive economic
conditions.
◦ The Worst scenario will assume that the firm will keep behaving as
forecast in negative conditions and will not be able to outperform the
market growth in positive circumstances and, therefore, as a proxy, we
have chosen the market growth rate itself as the path that it will follow.

27.  The Revenue has been forecast by means of a statistical
periodic fit: we have found the periodic function that
approximates the data we had with the least squares method
 The properties of the function we obtained confirmed the
qualitative analysis of the revenue’s growth:
◦ The minimum of the function is in 2011, it grows to reach the
pre crisis level until 2013 and it reaches the maximum in 2014

Worst case -11% 1/7

29.  During this period, Brevini will experience a “transition”
phase which will lead to a steady growth level
 We have set up three different scenarios:
◦ The Best scenario is going to assume an higher growth rate in
comparison to the market  the company will be able to increase both
its production and geographical coverage
◦ The Normal case will assume a continuous growth path at a rate lower
than previously, but still higher than the market average
◦ The Worst one will assume the failure of the company to achieve a
satisfying competitive advantage  it will reach a steady state level at
the beginning of the period
 Our work has been lead both by qualitative and quantitative
analysis:
◦ The qualitative argument is based on the capability to retain extra-
earning thanks to competitive advantage
◦ The quantitative analysis is based on the shift of the geographical
exposure and global growth expectation

30.  We have taken the expected value of the
compound annual growth rate of our three
scenarios
About 7,7% with a variance of 80,91%
It means that the company will double its size in 10 years

31.  “Brevini Group’s industrial plans include substantial
investments [...] because our growth depends on
our presence around the globe […]. We are looking
beyond the crisis and focusing on the recovery that
will arrive,” said Renato Brevini, President of Brevini
Power Transmission
 From this we have deduced that the company will
increase its production and its investments starting
from 2012

32.  We have assumed an “exotic” function for the COGS, whose parameters
have been set to capture a loss of efficiency due to a revenue
contraction in 2010-11 (less scale efficiency) and then a normalization
in the remaining years
 We have linked SGA growth to the COGS for 2/3 and to an intrinsic
growth for 1/3, following the expected business plan
 “Other Revenues” is composed of two parts: one correlated to sales for
2/3 and the other independent and pretty steady through time

33.  Operating cash represents the minimum amount of cash necessary
for daily business  it has been assumed as a fixed percentage of
revenues
 Inventories are defined as a percentage of revenues  We have
assumed a reduction in production and a disbanding of its inventories
for 2010-11, on the other hand in 2012 there will be an increase to
anticipate the higher revenue-growth expectation
 A positive net change has been estimated for Receivables and
Payables. We have also considered a renewed investment in WC to mach
the increase in revenue in 2012-2014.

34.  Net PPE is defined as a % of revenue, our estimate consistently matches our
hypothesis on the Invested capital trend
 Our estimate on the Debt repayment converges to the target value, as
forecast through our assumptions on the Debt ratio
 We have chosen to have a positive trend in PPE, independently from the
revenue growth, due to our strong confidence on the IC hypothesis.
 To define the Debt position we have also tried to:
◦ Bound the excess cash into a coherent interval
◦ Ensure enough liquidity availability to sustain the CAPEX and new building

46. When discussing about the time frame to consider, we had to keep in mind
that 2008 and 2009 were years afflicted by the financial crisis.
1. We started with the classical approach, which is using the last available
year, i.e. 2009. The values we obtained where excessively low. This can be
explained by the fact that this year has been considerably affected by the
financial crisis and the situation presented by most of the companies
worldwide, and in particular companies belonging to the industrial
machinery sector, does not do any justice to their real value.
2. We then tried to capture the value of the company by using forecast
data, which we found available only up to 2012. Unfortunately, the
economy is excessively negatively biased during this period, as we do not
expect any recovery before 2011, therefore the values we obtain are again
not doing any justice to the real value of the company.
3. It would have been more appropriate to use data from 2007, when the
company was able to show all its potential and external causes where not
affecting its activity, but unfortunately Brevini data were not available.
4. The ultimate chance we were left with was to consider data from 2008.
2008 financials are available, not too badly influenced by the financial
crisis and therefore sufficiently reliable.

49. After a careful analysis, we have come to the conclusion that
Brevini is a company that operates in a highly competitive
business which requires a great amount of fixed investments.
On the other hand, it has high growth potential, as it is
planning to expand geographically. Moreover, its products are
very versatile and, hence, can serve different purposes. It also
presents a high efficiency of production, which might come
even handier whether new plants were to be opened by
developing economies of scale . The financial crisis has had a
very negative impact on the company, but we expect a prompt
recovery. We have used different approaches to measure the
value and each time we created a set of assumptions that
were both realistic and thought through. We even tried to
adapt such methods to every specific circumstance. The
results we obtained were consistent and sound; therefore we
are confident enough that the value we got is pretty fair.
