linked to a brand, its name and symbol, that add to the
value provided by a product or service to a firm and/or

 A systematic approach to brand valuation was jointly
developed by Interbrand and the London Business School in
1988. The method was partially revised in 1993.

 Since then, Interbrand has evaluated some 3500 brands for
nearly 400 companies.
One approach to Brand valuation
calculation
 The purpose of evaluations of brand equity:

1. Evaluations for financial transactions in connection
with mergers & acquisitions, internal licensing and
fiscal issues.

2. Evaluations to optimize brand investments, advertising
expenditures, monitor an manage future changes in
brand value.
One approach to Brand valuation
calculation
 Brand value is defined as the NPV of future earnings
generated by the brand alone. One approach (Interbrand) is
based on the following three economic functions:

1. the brands function to create cost synergies,
2. the brands function to generate demand for the products and
services, and
3. the brands function to secure future demand and thus
reduce operative and financial risks.
Brand Equity/Value
 The method employed to evaluate brands comprises five
steps:
1. Segmentation,
2. Financial analysis,
3. Demand analysis,
4. Brand strength analysis,
5. Calculation of the net present value of brand earnings.

Calculating Brand Equity
 Consumers purchasing behavior and attitudes towards
brands differ from one market sector to another.

 The value of a brand can only be determined precisely
through the separate assessment of individual segments
that represent a homogenous customer group.
Segmentation
 Start with an assessment of the company's value and then
determine the value contributed by the brand.
 Isolate brand earnings from other forms of income is to
determine the Economic Value Added (EVA)
 which tells whether a company is able to generate returns that
exceed the costs of capital employed.

 The analysis is based on a five-year forecast of future
revenues.
Financial Analysis
 Analyze the brands value chain and identify the position of the
brand in the minds of customers.
 To determine the brands share of EVA:

 Evaluate the factors that influence demand and motivate
customers to purchase.
 These factors are weighted in terms of their bearing on
demand

 The sum of these brand contributions on the demand drivers
is expressed as the Role of Brand Index (RBI)

 RBI multiplied with the EVA, yields the brand earnings.
Demand Analysis
Demand Analysis
 The stronger a brand, the lower is its risk, and thus the
more certain are future brand earnings.
 Assess the competitive position and infer the risk by
analyzing the strength of a brand compared with its
competitors on the basis of seven factors
 market,
 stability,
 brand leadership,
 trend,
 brand support,
 diversification,
 protection
 This step results in the Brand Strength Score (BSS).


Brand Strength Analysis
Brand Strength Score
 The economic value of future brand earnings is inversely
correlated with the brands estimated risk

 This risk is directly linked to brand strength.

 The procedure reflects the dynamism of the market:
extreme ends of the scale brands react differently from
brands in the middle range.
Net Present Value Calculation

 Strongest brands are discounted with the risk-free rate of
the total market while average-strength brands are
discounted with the industry WACC (cost of equity in the
financial service industry).

 Discounting the forecast period (present value) and the
calculation of an annuity (terminal value) results in the
total value of the brand.

 The transformation of brand strength into brand risk (or
into discount rate) is completed using an S-curve.
Net Present Value Calculation
Net Present Value Calculation
 Since this procedure focuses on value creation, it is
independent of potential and probable changes in
organizational structure.

 The total value of the brand is calculated as the sum of
its segment values (sum-of-the-parts).
Total Brand Equity
 Lets Calculate Brand equity of DELL INC.

 This will be just a rough approximation since we will
be making some assumptions along the way

Example
 Critical assumptions:
 Assume that we are T-5 years from the latest available
financial statement. E.g. If the latest financial statement
is in 2008 assume we are in year 2003.
 Normal analysis requires forecasting 5 years in advance.
 We will assume that the actual financial performance
for the years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008
(obtained from financial statements) is the forecast as
of 2003.
Example
 Assume that Brand Strength analysis revealed that the
appropriate discount rate is 9%
 Just above WACC = 10%

 Role of Brand Index (RBI) = 40%

 Get the financial data from:
 Go to Mann library website
 Click on Find->Databases
 Social Sciences->Business and Management
 Mergent ONLINE
 Click on “COMPANY FINANCIALS”





Example
 Click on “COMPANY FINANCIALS”

 ANNUALS + BALANCE SHEET will be default

 From here you need to take TOTAL CURRENT ASSETS (in this
case it is line 13) of data for 5 years.
 Can be different line for other companies.

 Next, switch to ANNUALS + INCOME STATEMENT

 From here you need to take NET INCOME (LOSS) (in this case
it is line 13 from the bottom) of data for 5 years

 These 2 sets of numbers should be enough to calculate brand
equity.
(choose only if net income>0)
