Clear appreciation, strong decisions

Our specialists deliver independent valuations that provide insight into the true value of companies and investments to support transactions and strategic decisions.

Valuation Services

Clear valuations. Strong decision-making.

Value is not a fixed datum, but the result of assumptions, risk assessments and strategic choices. In transactions, it determines the difference between a good and an excellent deal. We help you make that value clear, substantiated and strategic.

Whether it is an acquisition, sale, restructuring or dispute, an informed valuation is the foundation of any strategic decision.

Our Valuation Services offer you an independent and in-depth analysis of the economic value of your company, shareholding or specific assets. We combine financial expertise with transaction experience so that you not only understand value, but also negotiating room and risk.

When is a valuation necessary?

We support valuation issues in a variety of situations:

  • Mergers and acquisitions
  • Shareholder disputes
  • Management participations
  • Tax restructurings
  • Purchase price allocations and impairment analyses
  • Financing questions
  • Fairness opinions

In each case, one question is central: what is a realistic and defensible value, given the specific context?

Our approach

Every valuation starts with a comprehensive analysis of the company and its environment. We assess factors such as:

  • Historical performance and earnings quality
  • Future cash flows and forecasts
  • Market position, competitive advantages and risks
  • Sector developments and relevant multiples
  • Capital structure and financing

Depending on the context, we apply appropriate methodologies, such as discounted cash flow and market multiple analyses. We work with scenarios and sensitivities to give you insight into value drivers, ranges and underlying assumptions.

What it provides you

  • An independent and well-founded valuation
  • Decades of experience on both buy-side and sell-side
  • A clear understanding risks and room for negotiation
  • Senior involvement from start to finish

Valuation Services

Valuation services are independent valuations of a company, business unit or stake for transactions and decision-making, underpinning a value range with appropriate methodologies and making the key assumptions and value drivers transparent.

Usually, discounted cash flow analysis (DCF) is combined with market comparisons (trading multiples and comparable transactions) and, where appropriate, an asset-based approach. The choice depends on the predictability of cash flows, the availability of good reference companies and the type of business (e.g. project-based versus recurring revenue).

Key value drivers are growth expectations, margins, cash flow conversion, working capital profile, capital expenditure (capex) and the risk premium (discount rate/WACC). In the mid-market segment, quality of management information, customer concentration and contract duration also tend to weigh heavily.

Valuations come in different depths: from a quick indicative valuation to a comprehensive substantiation with multiple scenarios and assumptions. In addition, an independent review can be done or valuation support can be provided for specific purposes, such as internal decision-making, financing processes or reporting requirements.

Valuation services provide an informed value bandwidth and make the key assumptions and value drivers transparent, allowing better substantiation of price discussions, bids, earn-out structures and discussions with investors or financiers. In addition, this is relevant for every company: in manufacturing and logistics, assets and investments often play a heavier role, in software and services especially recurring cash flows and growth, and in highly regulated sectors (e.g. healthcare/financial), risk and compliance often weigh extra.
