even without significant loss here, the Net Income does not equally represent the strength in the company’s financial growth the way sales do. The overall production costs have increased steadily as well, but this is probably due to the large amount of inventory added between 2000 and 2001.

This was confirmed by the firm’s tier 1 ratio, that is the ratio of equity capital to risk-weighted assets: with a value of…

ordinary share by the following equation: We applied for the relevant data of free cash flow from the UBS analyst report(2013) around the IPO date. And also use the ratios on the weighted average cost of capital(WACC) and terminal growth rate is 8.3% and 0.5% respectively. Additionally, we applied for the amount of average diluted shares of 1,000m. Therefore, in the end, we use DCF model to replicate the offer price and this yields an equity value per share of £4.13. And the detailed…
