Client Request

Our client engaged us to prepare a comprehensive valuation report for a leading Russian-focused rail-freight company. The objective was to assess the company’s value based on financial data, recent corporate development, and prevailing market conditions, to support strategic planning and decision-making.

Project Overview

The project involved conducting an independent valuation of a major transportation company operating in the freight rail sector. The company had recently been the subject of notable corporate developments, which made it important to assess its value using financial information and relevant market benchmarks.

Approach and Methodology

To ensure a robust and supportable valuation outcome, we implemented a consolidated methodology consisting of:

  • Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis
  • Relative Valuation using industry trading multiples, and
  • Comparable Companies analysis based on a selected peer group

Each method was applied to triangulate a defensible value range. The analysis was grounded in financial data, sector-specific metrics, and adjusted forecasts, while also accounting for macroeconomic indicators, regional market trends, and the potential impact of currency fluctuations

Scope and Execution

  • Methodology: DCF, Industry Multiples, Peer Multiples
  • Deliverables: Detailed valuation report
  • Delivery Time: Completed within 2 months from project initiation

Outcome

The client received a comprehensive and professionally presented valuation range, backed by detailed financial analysis and relevant benchmarks. The valuation report was delivered in a structured, presentation-ready format, allowing the client to easily integrate the findings into their evaluation process. It was later used, alongside other expert analyses, as part of legal assessments, demonstrating the clarity, reliability and professional standard of the work.
