2022 Calculations
1 Company does not pay dividends
2 Profit margin = 100 × Net income attributable to SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. ÷ Revenues
= 100 × 93,779 ÷ 3,110,279
= 3.02%
3 Asset turnover = Revenues ÷ Total assets
= 3,110,279 ÷ 4,265,949
= 0.73
4 Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Total SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. stockholders’ equity
= 4,265,949 ÷ 2,176,366
= 1.96
5 g = Retention rate × Profit margin × Asset turnover × Financial leverage
= 1.00 × 9.05% × 0.79 × 1.99
= 0.00%
FCFE growth rate (g) forecast
SolarEdge Technologies Inc., H-model
| Year | Value | gt |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | g1 | 0.00% |
| 2 | g2 | 0.00% |
| 3 | g3 | 0.00% |
| 4 | g4 | 0.00% |
| 5 and thereafter | g5 | 0.00% |
where:
g1 is implied by PRAT model
g5 is implied by single-stage model
g2, g3 and g4 are calculated using linear interpoltion between g1 and g5
Calculations
g2 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 0.00% + (0.00% – 0.00%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 0.00%
g3 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 0.00% + (0.00% – 0.00%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 0.00%
g4 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 0.00% + (0.00% – 0.00%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 0.00%
