needed documents: words for the report and excel showing the simple calculations. For the following
Required: Calculate the value of TP using the following methods (a, b, and c):
a. Comparable multiples (p/s and p/e)* as a valuation method. The most important aspect of (a) is the selection of inputs and the associated documentation, discussion, and motivation for why certain companies and numbers were selected.
b. Acquisition Premium. Again, defend your input(s)!
c. Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, which must include the Terminal Value
(TV). As in (a), document your selections. The forecast must be for 5 years in total. Then, assume an appropriate terminal value. Document your assumptions and defend your position.
d. Compare the computed values and comment in detail on the firm ?s performance and valuation as related to your selection of comparables. Also use the PEG Ratio to check your valuation range, in addition to the previously calculated valuation metrics. Decide on a value or narrow range of values.
e. You must discuss your selection of inputs that you use in the models. This is a very important part of the assignment. Also, discuss how you forecasted the income statement.
Valuation Case
DueALP (DP) Inc, a European diversified pharmaceutical company is looking
to acquire Thunderbird Pharma, Inc. (TP), a privately held pharma company
located in Ireland. The main business of TP is pharmaceuticals that treat
relatively rare diseases, thus too small for large international pharmaceutical
companies to invest in. The following data is available for TP:

Acquisition Premiums:
Again, the main business of TP is pharmaceuticals that treat relatively rare
diseases, i.e. diseases that are not very common.
Required: Calculate the value of TP using the following methods (a, b, and
c):
a. Comparable multiples (p/s and p/e)* as a valuation method. The most
important aspect of (a) is the selection of inputs and the associated
documentation, discussion, and motivation for why certain companies
and numbers were selected.
b. Acquisition Premium. Again, defend your input(s)!
c. Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, which must include the Terminal Value
(TV). As in (a), document your selections. The forecast must be for 5
years in total. Then, assume an appropriate terminal value. Document
your assumptions and defend your position.
d. Compare the computed values and comment in detail on the firm´s
performance and valuation as related to your selection of comparables.
Also use the PEG Ratio to check your valuation range, in addition to the
previously calculated valuation metrics. Decide on a value or narrow
range of values.
e. You must discuss your selection of inputs that you use in the
models. This is a very important part of the assignment. Also,
discuss how you forecasted the income statement.
Again, be sure to state any assumptions you make. Also, discuss and support
why you picked certain numbers and companies. As stated earlier, this is an
important aspect of this problem. If needed, use a discount rate of 20 percent.
If needed, the tax rate = 25%. Discovering treatments is a risky business.
