Here is the step-by-step DCF model build, structured for an MBA graduate, with the rigor expected in a McKinsey engagement.
---
**STEP 1: FRAMING & INPUTS (The "Clean Room")**
- **Objective:** Define the valuation date, currency, and the exact scope of the business (e.g., consolidated vs. core operations).
- **Inputs:** Gather the last 3 years of historical financials (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement). Segment revenue by product/service line and geography.
- **Key Inputs for your company:** Based on your description, I will use the following placeholders. You must fill these in:
- **Revenue:** `[REVENUE_Y1]`, `[REVENUE_Y2]`, `[REVENUE_Y3]`
- **EBITDA Margin:** `[EBITDA_MARGIN_Y1]`, `[EBITDA_MARGIN_Y2]`, `[EBITDA_MARGIN_Y3]`
- **Capex Intensity:** `[CAPEX_AS_PCT_OF_REVENUE]` (e.g., 5% for software, 15% for manufacturing)
- **Industry:** `[INDUSTRY]` (e.g., SaaS, Industrials, Consumer Retail)
---
**STEP 2: REVENUE PROJECTIONS (The "Top Line")**
- **Methodology:** Build a bottom-up forecast, not a single growth rate. Drive revenue by volume and price, or by customer count and ARPU (Average Revenue Per User).
- **Formula:** `Revenue (Year N) = Revenue (Year N-1) * (1 + Growth Rate N)`
- **Forecast Horizon:** 5 years (Years 1-5). Do not go beyond 10 years.
- **McKinsey Rule:** The growth rate in Year 5 must be below the long-term GDP growth rate of the country of operation.
---
**STEP 3: OPERATING MARGINS & EBIT (The "Core")**
- **Project EBITDA Margin:** Do not assume a linear improvement. Model a path to a "steady-state" margin by Year 5.
- **Formula:** `EBITDA (Year N) = Revenue (Year N) * EBITDA Margin (Year N)`
- **D&A (Depreciation & Amortization):** Project D&A as a percentage of revenue or as a percentage of the prior year's Net PP&E (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus new capex.
- **Formula:** `EBIT (Year N) = EBITDA (Year N) - D&A (Year N)`
---
**STEP 4: FREE CASH FLOW (FCF) BRIDGE (The "Engine")**
- **Taxes:** Apply a normalized cash tax rate. Use the statutory rate (e.g., 21% in the US) unless you have specific NOL (Net Operating Loss) carryforwards.
- **Capex:** Use your specific `[CAPEX_GROWTH_PCT_OF_REVENUE]` assumption.
- **Working Capital (WC):** Model the change in Net Working Capital (NWC) as a percentage of the change in revenue.
- **Formula:** `Change in NWC = (Revenue N - Revenue N-1) * (NWC as % of Revenue)`
- **Note:** A positive change in NWC is a cash outflow (use negative sign).
- **The Core FCF Formula:**
`FCF (Year N) = EBIT (Year N) * (1 - Tax Rate) + D&A (Year N) - Capex (Year N) - Change in NWC (Year N)`
---
**STEP 5: WACC CALCULATION (The "Discount Rate")**
- **Formula:** `WACC = (E/V) * Cost of Equity + (D/V) * Cost of Debt * (1 - Tax Rate)`
- **Cost of Equity (via CAPM):** `Cost of Equity = Risk-Free Rate + Beta * Equity Risk Premium`
- **Risk-Free Rate:** Use the 10-year US Treasury yield (e.g., 4.0%).
- **Beta:** Use a levered beta from a comparable public company set, then relever it to your target capital structure.
- `Unlevered Beta = Levered Beta / (1 + (1 - Tax Rate) * (Debt/Equity))`
- `Relevered Beta = Unlevered Beta * (1 + (1 - Tax Rate) * (Target Debt/Equity))`
- **Equity Risk Premium (ERP):** Use a standard range of 4.5% - 5.5%.
- **Cost of Debt:** `Pre-Tax Cost of Debt = Risk-Free Rate + Credit Spread` (based on the company's credit rating).
- **Capital Structure Weights:** Use the *target* capital structure (market values), not the current book values.
---
**STEP 6: TERMINAL VALUE (The "Long Tail")**
- **Method 1: Gordon Growth Model (Perpetuity Growth)**
- **Formula:** `Terminal Value (TV) = FCF (Year 5) * (1 + Terminal Growth Rate) / (WACC - Terminal Growth Rate)`
- **Terminal Growth Rate:** Use the long-term inflation rate (e.g., 2.0% - 2.5%). Never exceed the GDP growth rate.
- **Method 2: Exit Multiple Method**
- **Formula:** `Terminal Value (Year 5) = EBITDA (Year 5) * Exit Multiple`
- **Exit Multiple:** Use the current median EV/EBITDA multiple of the public comps, but apply a discount (e.g., 10-20%) to reflect the cyclicality or lack of liquidity.
- **McKinsey Rule:** Always cross-check both methods. If they diverge by more than 20%, your assumptions are inconsistent.
---
**STEP 7: ENTERPRISE VALUE & EQUITY VALUE (The "Bridge")**
- **Enterprise Value (EV):** `EV = PV of FCF (Years 1-5) + PV of Terminal Value`
- Discount each year's FCF and the Terminal Value back to today using the WACC.
- **Equity Value:** `Equity Value = EV - Net Debt + Cash - Non-Controlling Interests - Pension Deficits`
- **Per Share Value:** `Equity Value / Diluted Shares Outstanding`
---
**STEP 8: SENSITIVITY TABLE (The "What-If")**
- **Build a 2-Dimensional Data Table:**
- **Rows:** WACC (e.g., 8% to 12% in 0.5% increments).
- **Columns:** Terminal Growth Rate (e.g., 1.5% to 3.5% in 0.5% increments).
- **Output:** Implied Equity Value per Share.
- **Interpretation:** The table shows the range of outcomes. The "base case" should sit in the middle of the table, not at the edge.
---
**STEP 9: COMMON MISTAKES & HOW TO AVOID THEM**
1. **Circularity in WACC:** Do not use the WACC to calculate the capital structure weights. Use a target weight.
2. **Mismatched Cash Flows:** Ensure FCF is unlevered (pre-interest) and discounted at WACC. If you use levered FCF, discount at Cost of Equity.
3. **Working Capital Sign Error:** A *decrease* in NWC (e.g., collecting receivables faster) is a *source* of cash (add it back). An *increase* is a use of cash (subtract it).
4. **Terminal Value Dominance:** If the Terminal Value is > 80% of EV, your forecast horizon is too short or your growth rate is too high.
5. **Ignoring the Balance Sheet:** Ensure your model is internally consistent. The balance sheet must balance each year (Assets = Liabilities + Equity).
---
**STEP 10: SANITY CHECKS (The "Reality Check")**
- **Public Comps:** Compare your implied EV/EBITDA multiple to the current median of the public comps. If your model implies a 15x multiple while comps trade at 8x, your assumptions are too aggressive.
- **Precedent Transactions:** Compare your implied multiple to the average multiple paid in recent M&A deals in the industry. M&A deals typically carry a 20-30% premium to public comps.
- **Reverse DCF:** Solve for the implied growth rate or margin that the current market price is assuming. If the market is pricing in 20% growth and you only see 5% potential, you have a strong buy signal.
---
**STEP 11: STRESS-TESTING (The "Killer Assumptions")**
- **The "Blow-Up" Assumptions:**
- **Revenue Growth:** A 1% change in the Year 1-3 growth rate can swing the valuation by 10-15%.
- **EBITDA Margin:** A 100bps change in the terminal margin is often the single largest driver of value.
- **WACC:** A 0.5% change in WACC can change the valuation by 5-10%.
- **Stress Test:** Run a "Bear Case" (e.g., revenue growth halved, margin down 200bps) and a "Bull Case" (growth doubled, margin up 200bps). If the Bear Case is still above the current stock price, the stock is a clear buy.
---
**STEP 12: THE MCKINSEY PARTNER PRESSURE TEST (The "Red Team")**
- **The "So What?" Test:** The Partner will ask: "What is the single most important driver of value in this model?" You must answer instantly (e.g., "It's the terminal margin, not the growth rate").
- **The "Sensitivity" Challenge:** The Partner will point to a cell in the sensitivity table and ask: "What is the probability of this scenario occurring?" You must have a qualitative answer, not just a number.
- **The "Reverse" Test:** The Partner will ask: "What would the WACC have to be for the equity value to be zero?" This tests the robustness of your downside.
- **The "Story" Test:** The Partner will ask: "Tell me the story of this company in 3 sentences." If the model is not intuitive, it is wrong. The model must reflect the business reality (e.g., "This is a high-growth, low-margin business that will generate cash only after Year 3 when capex normalizes").
