Assumptions
- Revenue: Reuters aggregates four analysts covering $MVN.NZ and the mean estimates of 2010 and 2011 revenues are NZ$141.6 million and NZ$146.1 million respectively. For our analysis we have used NZ$145.0 million in 2010, NZ$150.0 million in 2011 and NZ$155.0 million in 2012.
- Profitability: We have used a flat EBITDA margin of 14.0% to 2012. Reuters don’t list an EBITD margin for $MVN.NZ.
- Capital Expenditure: We have assumed capital expenditures of NZ$3.0 million per annum moving forward.
- Discount Rate: 11.0%. The PwC New Zealand cost of capital report does not list $MVN.NZ but has the wider market at 8.3%. We believe a discount rate in the 10-12% range is appropriate. We have chosen the middle of this range.
