Valutico Introduces New Feature to Support Documentation of Decisions and Assumptions

 

 

  • Valutico launches a new « Notes » feature to document decisions and assumptions in valuations.
  • The feature empowers users to justify and communicate valuation inputs to third parties effectively.
  • Users can take comprehensive notes, facilitating internal reflection and collaboration with colleagues.
  • The new feature now means Valutico provides users both “numbers” and “narratives” to add important depth to each valuation.


Valutico is excited to introduce its latest feature, « Notes, » designed to address the critical need for documenting decisions and assumptions in valuations. The new functionality aims to empower users to justify and communicate their valuation inputs effectively to third parties, such as clients, courts, and potential buyers.

 

Justifying Valuation Inputs Made Easy

 

Valuation processes often rely on standardized methodologies, but the decisions and assumptions underlying these valuations are highly subjective. When presenting a valuation to external parties, users frequently face the challenge of justifying specific decisions or assumptions made throughout the process. This could include explaining the selection of peers, rationale behind forecasts, or adjustments made during the quality assurance phase.

To overcome this challenge, Valutico’s new feature enables users to document decisions and assumptions directly within the platform. Users can take comprehensive notes to remind themselves of the reasoning behind specific choices or areas that require further analysis. This documentation not only facilitates internal reflection but also serves as a valuable resource for discussing decisions and assumptions with colleagues working on the valuation.

« We recognize the importance of providing our users with the tools they need to justify their valuations and enhance trust in their work, » said Paul Resch, CEO at Valutico. « Our new feature allows users to document decisions and assumptions comprehensively, empowering them to demonstrate their expertise, professionalism, and preparation. »

 


Seamless Integration For an End-to-End Valuation Workflow

 

The new functionality caters to a diverse range of users who require robust documentation capabilities. Notetaking facilitates collaboration and discussion among team members, providing a platform to explain and share rationales. But users can also leverage the solution to present well-structured and professional justifications for their valuations to clients or other stakeholders, even when they don’t have access to the underlying spreadsheet-based model.

Currently, users resort to workarounds such as maintaining separate documents for note-taking. Valutico’s new feature eliminates the need for third-party tools and consolidates all documentation within the platform, aligning with the company’s commitment to an end-to-end valuation workflow.

 

 

 

By introducing this feature, Valutico aims to improve user experiences and enhance trust in valuations. Users will also be able to export the comprehensive documentation as part of their reports as part of a planned update in an upcoming phase, which will foster transparent communication with third parties and showcase the thought process behind their valuation inputs.

 


Key New Note Features

 

Core Features of Valutico’s New Note Taking Product Feature:


Comprehensive Note-Taking:

Users can take notes at various stages of the valuation process, including the qualitative assessment, peer choice, valuation methodology selection, and parameter adjustments.


Documentation of Decisions and Assumptions:
The feature allows users to document the rationale behind specific decisions and assumptions made in the valuation. This documentation helps justify inputs to third parties, such as clients, courts, and potential buyers.


Collaboration and Discussion:
For internal users, the feature facilitates collaboration and discussion among team members. Users can explain their rationales and share notes with colleagues, enhancing teamwork and understanding.


Seamless Integration within Valutico:
The note-taking feature eliminates the need for third-party tools or Excel spreadsheets. Users can keep all their documentation within the Valutico platform, aligning with the platform’s end-to-end valuation workflow.


Filter by Stage:
Users can filter for specific notes within valuations, making it easy to find relevant information when reviewing or sharing valuations. The ability to add, remove, and edit notes ensures that users always have an updated set of notes.

 

To explore this new feature further, we invite you to book a demo and connect with one of our Valutico experts.

ValutECO is the New Groundbreaking ESG Tool for Sustainable Business Valuations

 

 

  • Valutico’s latest launch, ValutECO, empowers finance professionals to conduct valuations based on ESG criteria
  • Companies with higher ESG scores can receive higher company valuations
  • ValutECO is launched in an alpha trial phase to invite feedback

  

Leading the way in sustainable finance, Valutico has launched ValutECO, an advanced tool that assesses the value of companies based on their environmental impact. With this groundbreaking announcement, the valuation platform Valutico has made a significant step into integrating sustainability into the widespread practice of valuing businesses.

Valutico’s newly launched tool, currently in an ‘alpha’ trial phase, allows accountants, M&A consultants, investment managers, private equity professionals, and those in corporate finance to consider the impact of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors on a company’s value. By addressing the potential links between ESG and financial performance, ValutECO is leading the way towards incorporating sustainability into financial theory and practice.

 

ValutECO Explained

 

With ValutECO, financial professionals use a streamlined ESG assessment, specifically designed with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in mind and simplified to facilitate easier reporting. Analysts can identify priority areas for improvement, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, managing water usage, and increasing recycling rates. 

Valutico’s pioneering new tool integrates ESG scores into the ‘Cost of Capital’ component of a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation. This revolutionary feature allows companies with positive ESG scores to be valued higher, making them more attractive to potential buyers and investors seeking sustainability and long-term growth.

ValutECO was developed following a grant by Wirtschaftsagentur Wien, and follows research into the impacts of ESG criteria on the valuations of businesses across multiple industries, alongside validation that the condensed ESG assessment reflects more exhaustive assessments on the market. 

 


Impact on Sustainability

 

The widespread adoption of a tool like ValutECO has the potential to be a game-changer for sustainability in industries all around the world. It would financially incentivize companies to prioritize sustainability and embed environmental factors as a key component of their everyday operations. This would result in one way in which companies’ impact on the planet becomes a crucial aspect of buying, selling, and investing decisions.

Valutico acknowledge that the integration of ESG into financial analyses is an ongoing conversation requiring further academic study, but they’re optimistic that their new tool ValutECO will contribute to steering the conversation in the direction of a more sustainable future.

 



 

Valutico’s CEO, Paul Resch states:

« Leading the way in integrating sustainability into financial practices is a significant accomplishment for Valutico. We recognize the importance of ValutECO as an initial step towards achieving this goal, and we’re grateful for the grant provided by Wirtschaftsagentur Wien that made this possible. We’re looking forward to receiving feedback from financial professionals on how this innovative tool can enable sustainable growth and we’re excited for what lies ahead. »

 

 

Alpha Phase: Valutico appreciate that a universally accepted standard for ESG scoring, nor ESG valuation analysis, currently exist. As such, ValutECO has been launched as a working and viable early-stage tool, and further development is anticipated following user feedback, and ongoing research.

ValutECO – FAQs

 

What is ValutECO?

 

A tool that allows financial professionals to incorporate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) aspects in the valuation of a company.

  

How does ValutECO work?

 

Users complete a streamlined ESG assessment of the target company to arrive at an ESG score. The ESG score feeds into our proprietary algorithm to derive an appropriate adjustment to the Cost of Equity and Cost of Debt, which impacts the final valuation.

 

Who is ValutECO for?

 

All finance professionals who value companies, such as accountants, auditors, tax advisors, M&A professionals, investment managers, corporate finance advisors, and banks who want to consider ESG factors as part of their decision-making process, especially as an input to the valuation.

 

How are the Cost of Capital adjustments calculated?

 

Valutico developed a proprietary Cost of Capital adjustment algorithm, based on the ESG scores of listed companies, obtained from S&P Capital IQ. We performed a detailed linear regression analysis, considering the betas and credit spread of listed companies, regressed against their ESG scores, for the universe of listed companies globally. The ESG score of the target company is then fed through the algorithm to arrive at Cost of Capital discount or premium, which in turn will affect the Discounted Cash Flow valuation result.

The higher the ESG score, the higher the Cost of Capital discount, which results in a lower overall Cost of Capital and thus a higher valuation. For very low ESG scores, the algorithm will apply a Cost of Capital premium, increasing the overall Cost of Capital and thus decreasing the valuation.

As a general rule of thumb, ValutECO will generally apply a ~0.08% discount to the Cost of Equity and a ~0.09% discount to the Cost of Debt for every 10 point improvement in a company’s ESG score.

Similarly to the Qualitative Assessment, it is up to the discretion of the user as to whether they wish to use these specific discounts or premiums in their final valuation. The ESG industry is relatively nascent and thus, as a new tool, this approach is not yet a widely adopted standard across the industry.

 

ValutECO is still in Alpha Phase – what does this mean?

 

Valutico appreciates that neither a universally accepted standard for ESG scoring, nor a universally accepted standard for ESG valuation analysis, currently exist. As such, we are launching ValutECO as a viable tool at an early stage of development, to solicit feedback, work closely with users to understand their needs in this area and develop ValutECO into a tool that could be more widely adopted. Notably, this means ValutECO can be considered as still under development and subject to change at any time.

 

Do I need a Valutico subscription to use ValutECO?

 

Yes, in order to access ValutECO you need a subscription to the Valutico valuation platform.

 

I do not have a subscription to ValutECO, how do I use ValutECO?

 

You will need access to Valutico to use ValutECO. Within the platform it features as an optional step. Users can also utilise the ESG assessment component by itself, without applying any ESG adjustment , in case they wish to conduct their standard valuation but still discuss ESG issues with their clients separately. If you are a Valutico user, read the next FAQ response for more information.

 

I am a Valutico user, how do I use ValutECO?

 

If you’re a Valutico user, reach out to customer service and they can provide you access. ValutECO’s launch add-on price point is established at between $200 – $500, with 100% of sales being donated to the World Land Trust Charity, patroned by David Attenborough. Valutico extends a cordial invitation to contribute beyond the stipulated amount.

Once you have access to ValutECO, a new step will be added to the valuation workflow. Upon entering this step, you have the choice to start or skip the ESG assessment. In the former case, you will conduct a short 29-question ESG assessment, which provides an overall ESG score, as well as dimension scores for E, S and G. Your overall ESG score has an impact on the Cost of Capital, which impacts the discount rate applied to all DCF-based valuation approaches. You may also choose to conduct the ValutECO assessment for informational purposes, but not apply any Cost of Capital adjustments. In order to do so, simply deactivate the toggle on the ValutECO result screen, or in the parameters on the valuation screen.

 

Where do I see the impact in Valutico’s valuation platform?

 

If activated, the Cost of Equity and Cost of Debt adjustments will be shown in the Discount Rate table on the Valuation screen, per the screenshot below:

 

 

How can we advise clients of the impact of the ESG report?

 

There are at least two ways you might want to use this tool with clients:

  1. Demonstrate their ESG score, in order to discuss which aspects across Environmental, Social and Governance dimensions they should be aware of, in order to future-proof the value of their business
  2. Indicate the difference between a valuation that incorporates the ESG score into the valuation, versus one that does not. This might be a positive or negative impact, showing the effect of certain ESG aspects on the value of the business

 

Is the streamlined ESG survey consistent with longer-format ESG surveys?

 

Yes, the condensed ESG survey is broadly consistent with the S&P Capital IQ ESG scoring mechanism, but is focused on SMEs as opposed to large, listed companies.

 

When would you recommend using ValutECO?

 

We built the ValutECO methodology with private SMEs in mind, for which complex probability-weighted ESG cashflow scenarios might pose an insurmountable or expensive challenge. We want to lower the barrier to ESG adoption for these types of companies. The questionnaire is purposely kept as broadly applicable as possible.

Some notable use cases for ValutECO include:

  • Sell-side M&A: showcase the positive impact of a good ESG performance and justify an elevated valuation
  • Private Equity: showcase the positive impact of a good ESG performance and justify an elevated valuation; satisfy ESG requirements by your LPs
  • Sustainability / Management consulting: help clients understand ESG is not just a soft factor, but translates into tangible value

 

When would you recommend NOT using ValutECO?

 

Users should not use the Cost of Capital adjustments generated by ValutECO if their forecasts already include ESG impacts, in order to avoid double-counting.

Recent innovative product extensions of the existing valuation models, which currently focus on the financial value of a company, include the integration of the Capitalised Earnings Method and Venture Capital (VC) Method. But Valutico is also working on a robust qualitative and quantitative module for the holistic assessment of an organisation’s impact on the environment, society and governance (‘ESG’). 

 

Paul Resch, Co-Founder & CEO comments:

“The new funding rounds off an outstanding year for the company and will allow us to double down on our growth path and continue to innovate around the question of what “value” means in a business context. The benefits of Valutico’s platform are already being felt across the financial landscape and this recent funding helps us strengthen our offering and broaden our positive impact. We are using this opportunity to reinforce our commitment to our clients and we look forward to the road ahead!”

Laurenz Simbruner, Founding Partner at PUSH Ventures comments: 

“Paul and the team have shown an impressive track record building a fantastic product for a global audience of business customers. We are super excited to support Valutico on its way to becoming a world leader in the financial services software industry.”

Christoph Haimberger, Managing Director, aws Gründerfonds comments:

“Our investment allows Valutico to grow beyond legacy valuation tools, in ESG and digital usability. A value-driven combination of our investment thesis into “Green Winners” and “Digital Winners”. We are thrilled to be part of the journey with the outstanding and globally ambitious Valutico team.“

Ingo Bleier, Board Member for Corporates Banking & Markets at Erste Group comments:

“At Erste, we are committed to improving our ability to analyse and apply data in order to gain a better understanding of our customers’ needs and to develop our offering accordingly. That’s why we are exploring how Valutico‘s innovative valuation platform can help us to further digitalize part of our process in the corporate banking and underwriting business.”
