How this works / Assumptions

FCFₜ = current FCF × (1 + growth)^t
PVₜ = FCFₜ / (1 + r)^t
Terminal value = FCFₙ × (1 + g) / (r − g)
Enterprise value = Σ PVₜ + PV of terminal value
Equity value = enterprise value − net debt
Use unlevered annual free cash flow and a matching discount rate (typically WACC). Cash flows arrive at year end. Growth is constant during the explicit projection; thereafter, the Gordon growth model assumes perpetual terminal growth and requires r > g. Net debt is deducted from enterprise value; negative debt represents net cash. No separate non-operating assets, minority interests, dilution, or transaction costs are modeled. Blank or zero shares omit per-share value. Small assumption changes can materially change value.
