Each point uses the same reverse solver to match the calculated fictional target EV. Blank regions indicate unavailable solutions; no values are interpolated.

These are calculated outputs from fictional inputs and the shared DCF engine, not a forecast or investment advice.

Calculation provenance

Shared financial engine

Reverse DCF calls the existing deterministic growth solver. Forward Valuation and the fixed teaching target call the same five-year FCFF/WACC DCF engine. Every chart point uses the existing solver with the same fixed fictional target.

The demo has no company dataset, source records, market reference date, issuer identity, or quote.

Inputs and calculation notesFormulas, assumptions, and provenance

Fictional educational inputs only — not real company data. The baseline and assumptions below are invented; user changes are scenario assumptions.

Baseline values are fictional scenario inputs, not historical issuer facts; all five year columns are forecast outputs.

Revenue and operating assumptions

  • Revenue: base revenue $1,000.0000m × (1 + revenue growth 8.00%)forecast year.
  • EBIT: revenue × forecast operating margin 20.00%.
  • Taxes: EBIT × effective tax rate 22.00%.
  • D&A: revenue × D&A-to-revenue ratio 8.00%.
  • CapEx: revenue × CapEx-to-revenue ratio 7.00%.
  • Operating NWC: revenue × operating-NWC-to-revenue ratio 4.00%.

FCFF construction

  • Change in NWC: current-year operating NWC − prior-year operating NWC. Year 1 compares with base-year revenue $1,000.0000m using the same operating-NWC ratio.
  • FCFF: EBIT − taxes + D&A − CapEx − change in NWC.

Discounting

  • Discount factor: 1 / (1 + WACC 10.00%)forecast year.
  • Present value of FCFF: FCFF × discount factor.

Terminal value and enterprise value

  • Terminal value: Year 5 FCFF × (1 + terminal growth 2.50%) / (WACC 10.00% − terminal growth 2.50%).
  • Present value of terminal value: terminal value / (1 + WACC 10.00%)5.
  • Modeled EV: sum of the five FCFF present values + present value of terminal value.

Input status and provenance

  • Base revenue $1,000.0000m, tax rate 22.00%, D&A ratio 8.00%, CapEx ratio 7.00%, and operating-NWC ratio 4.00% are fictional scenario inputs; real source provenance and effective dates are unavailable.
  • Revenue growth: 8.00% — solver-derived by this Reverse DCF result.
  • Forecast operating margin: 20.00% — fictional baseline assumption (editable by the user).
  • Effective tax rate: 22.00% — fictional scenario value, not verified historical company data.
  • WACC: 10.00% — fictional baseline assumption (editable by the user).
  • Terminal growth: 2.50% — fictional baseline assumption (editable by the user).

Enterprise-value reconciliation

Modeled EV includes the present value of terminal value.

Sum of present values of forecast FCFF$771.7839m
Terminal value at Year 5 Undiscounted; reference only$3,273.9169m
Present value of terminal value$2,032.8448m
Modeled enterprise value$2,804.6287m

Modeled enterprise value equals the sum of the present values of the five forecast FCFFs plus the present value of terminal value. Terminal value at Year 5 is undiscounted and shown for reference; it is not added directly to this subtotal. Amounts are shown to four decimal places; underlying values retain full precision.
