2023 Calculations

1 Company does not pay dividends

2 Profit margin = 100 × Net income ÷ Revenues
= 100 × 3,953,600 ÷ 13,117,200
= 30.14%

3 Asset turnover = Revenues ÷ Total assets
= 13,117,200 ÷ 33,080,200
= 0.40

4 Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Stockholders’ equity
= 33,080,200 ÷ 25,973,100
= 1.27

5 g = Retention rate × Profit margin × Asset turnover × Financial leverage
= 1.00 × 36.86% × 0.49 × 1.36
= 24.81%

FCFE growth rate (g) implied by single-stage model

g = 100 × (Equity market value0 × r – FCFE0) ÷ (Equity market value0 + FCFE0)
= 100 × (81,823,745 × 5.67% – 3,875,400) ÷ (81,823,745 + 3,875,400)
= 0.89%

where:
Equity market value0 = current market value of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. common stock (US$ in thousands)
FCFE0 = the last year Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. free cash flow to equity (US$ in thousands)
r = required rate of return on Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. common stock

Year Value gt
1 g1 24.81%
2 g2 18.83%
3 g3 12.85%
4 g4 6.87%
5 and thereafter g5 0.89%

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)
= 24.81% + (0.89% – 24.81%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 18.83%

g3 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 24.81% + (0.89% – 24.81%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 12.85%

g4 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 24.81% + (0.89% – 24.81%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 6.87%
