Valuation, Modeling & Analytics

Complex valuations and financing modeling: Your partner in every discipline

Our experienced valuation and modeling experts provide support with answering all of the possible questions about company valuation, reflecting individual value in business plans and developing a finance strategy. We analyse companies, business areas, individual assets or finance instruments. From start-ups, SMEs and stock-market-listed companies through to companies that are financed by private equity or that are in the midst of a crisis: An expert value analysis is the foundation for every kind of business transaction.

Valuation: As varied as the companies it analyses

There is a broad range of situations in which a company valuation is necessary, including company-law-related structural measures such as mergers, in-kind investments, squeeze-outs, controlling agreements and profit transfer agreements. Company valuations are also often necessary during internal company restructuring, or contractual agreements such as those that occur in the event of a shareholder exit or inheritance dispute. Valuation questions also arise in the context of tax-related considerations and for financial reporting purposes (e.g. purchase price allocations and the associated impairment test in line with IAS 36).

The right solution for every situation

As consultants, we act as neutral appraisers or arbitrators – depending on the specific situation and the purpose of the company valuation. Our experts support our clients with their comprehensive knowledge of corporate finance, company law, financing, accountancy and tax, as well as business planning. Depending on the specific circumstances, we create indicative valuations and capital-market-oriented reports, purchase price allocations, impairment tests, fairness opinions in line with IDW S8, as well as detailed advisory opinions in line with IDW S1. We take advantage of internationally recognised valuation processes – including Discounted Cash Flow, earnings value and market multiplier methods. We’ve got the necessary experience to select and apply the right valuation methods, even for complex financing and transaction structures such as option price models and simulation processes. We can also share our expert knowledge to support clients with questions related to the value of intangible assets like brands, patents and technologies.
