The Valuation of
Distressed Businesses
Moderator: Grant W. Newton

Key Points to Establishing a Framework and
Avoiding Pitfalls
• Proper assessment of the turnaround thesis viability and
cash flow projections
• Proper consideration of the capital structure
• Proper development of an appropriate discount rate
• Proper development of market multiples
Can the Company be Reorganized?
• Viability of turnaround thesis
• Management team execution capability
• Build up of projections consistent with turnaround thesis
– Reasonableness, conservatism, milestones
• Adequate liquidity through reorganization
Determinants of Capital Structure and Ability
to Reorganize
• Trade off between interest tax shields and the cost of
financial distress
• The pecking order of financing choices
• The benefits and costs of financial slack
Factors that May Impact the Costs of Financial
Distress, and a Company’s Ability to Reorganize
• Level of operating profits
• Company size
• Nature of assets
• Complexity of capital structure and make up of creditors
• Impact of economic cycles
• Length of revenue cycle
• Average product/service transaction size
• Quality and timeliness of financial reporting
• Leadership and human capital
• Labor relations
• Asset specificity
• Supplier concentration
• Quantity (number and dollar amount) of executory contracts
Tax Considerations• Net operating losses
– Age of net operating losses
– Potential restrictions on utilization of net operating losses• IRC Section 382
• Built in gains/losses
• Special bankruptcy exceptions
• Cancellation of debt (COD) income– Tax attribute reduction
– Taxation of COD income
• Tax basis and holding period– Transaction type
• Character of income– Asset type
• Other tax consequences of debt restructuring and asset foreclosures– Original issue discount (OID)
– Recourse vs. nonrecourse debt
• Consolidated corporate group issues
• Value of tax shields implicit in the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
Capital Structure for Valuation
• Using different capital structures of debt and equity can
affect valuation
• Options:
– Actual or anticipated at close of transaction
– Industry average
– Theoretical or optimal
Determining Theoretical Capital Structure
• Debt capacity analysis
• Theoretical bond ratings analysis
• Comparable company analysis
• Triangulate appropriate theoretical capital structure
Discount Rates
• Cost of equity
– Modified CAPM
– Duff & Phelps
– Fama & French Three Factor Model
– Consideration of company specific risk
• Cost of debt
– Bond rating and yield to maturity
• Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
– Value of tax shields implicit in WACC
Comparable Company Multiple Analysis
• Multiples largely move up and down with the economic
cycle
• Also driven by availability of capital, therefore, consistent
with trends of leverage multiples
