An Intrinsic Calculation For Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. (CVE:TBRD) Suggests It's 48% Undervalued
The projected fair value for Thunderbird Entertainment Group is CA$3.29 based on 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Current share price of CA$1.70 suggests Thunderbird Entertainment Group is potentially 48% undervalued In this article we are going to estimate the intrinsic value of Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. (CVE:TBRD) by taking the expected future cash flows and discounting them to their present value. The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model is the tool we will apply to do this. Before you think you won't be able to understand it, just read on! It's actually much less complex than you'd imagine. Remember though, that there are many ways to estimate a company's value, and a DCF is just one method. If you want to learn more about discounted cash flow, the rationale behind this calculation can be read in detail in the Simply Wall St analysis model. See our latest analysis for Thunderbird Entertainment Group We're using the 2-stage growth model, which simply means we take in account two stages of company's growth. In the initial period the company may have a higher growth rate and the second stage is usually assumed to have a stable growth rate. In the first stage we need to estimate the cash flows to the business over the next ten years. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years. Generally we assume that a dollar today is more valuable than a dollar in the future, and so the sum of these future cash flows is then discounted to today's value: 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 Levered FCF (CA$, Millions) CA$9.32m CA$9.71m CA$10.1m CA$10.4m CA$10.7m CA$11.0m CA$11.3m CA$11.6m CA$11.9m CA$12.2m Growth Rate Estimate Source Analyst x1 Est @ 4.15% Est @ 3.61% Est @ 3.24% Est @ 2.97% Est @ 2.79% Est @ 2.66% Est @ 2.57% Est @ 2.51% Est @ 2.46% Present Value (CA$, Millions) Discounted @ 8.3% CA$8.6 CA$8.3 CA$7.9 CA$7.5 CA$7.2 CA$6.8 CA$6.5 CA$6.1 CA$5.8 CA$5.5 ("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = CA$70m The second stage is also known as Terminal Value, this is the business's cash flow after the first stage. The Gordon Growth formula is used to calculate Terminal Value at a future annual growth rate equal to the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield of 2.4%. We discount the terminal cash flows to today's value at a cost of equity of 8.3%. Terminal Value (TV)= FCF2034 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = CA$12m× (1 + 2.4%) ÷ (8.3%– 2.4%) = CA$210m Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= CA$210m÷ ( 1 + 8.3%)10= CA$94m The total value is the sum of cash flows for the next ten years plus the discounted terminal value, which results in the Total Equity Value, which in this case is CA$165m. The last step is to then divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Compared to the current share price of CA$1.7, the company appears quite good value at a 48% discount to where the stock price trades currently. Remember though, that this is just an approximate valuation, and like any complex formula - garbage in, garbage out. Now the most important inputs to a discounted cash flow are the discount rate, and of course, the actual cash flows. If you don't agree with these result, have a go at the calculation yourself and play with the assumptions. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at Thunderbird Entertainment Group as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 8.3%, which is based on a levered beta of 1.371. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business. Whilst important, the DCF calculation ideally won't be the sole piece of analysis you scrutinize for a company. The DCF model is not a perfect stock valuation tool. Rather it should be seen as a guide to "what assumptions need to be true for this stock to be under/overvalued?" For example, changes in the company's cost of equity or the risk free rate can significantly impact the valuation. Can we work out why the company is trading at a discount to intrinsic value?
