Methodology & Approaches

The typical approaches to value WVA considers in its analyses include the Income Approach, the Asset Approach, and the Market Approach. Within each approach there are different methodologies that can be applied. The Income Approach will consider both the historical earning generating capacity and future earning generating capacity of the entity. The Asset Approach typically involves adjusting the book values of company assets to an indicated market value as of the valuation date. The Market Approach typically considers valuation multiples of other companies operating in the same or similar industry as the subject company, which can include valuation multiples of publicly traded companies or valuation multiples generated from completed transactions of private companies.
