EXTERNAL VALUE DRIVERS
• After some difficult years, dayrates are anticipated to grow at about 4% annually for
jackups. When looking at capabilities and water depths served, premium jackup
dayrates should grow even faster.
• Looking solely at the rig counts, global offshore activity is improving slightly. The
lecturer can mention that there are now 543 rigs under contract around the world, up
ten from the previous month, and that the overall fleet size also grew during the
month by a net five rigs (3 floaters and 2 jackups) to 756 rigs marketed globally.
• It is also worth mentioning the reliance upon majors. Most of the work is contracted
with a small number of international clients, much larger than Dietswell. The company
is always at risk of being squeezed in the middle.

1. DCF – FCFF
• We use the assumptions provided by the management (8.7% growth in 2016-2018, 3% perpetual growth)
• Valuation as of 1 July 2012: discount FCFFs for 6 months, 1.5 years, etc. Also account for only half the 2012 FCFF

Vary the WACC between say 6% and 8%, against a growth rate of 2% to 3.5%
We obtain a lower share price! It seems counterintuitive but the reason is simple:
as often, forecasts in the distant years tend to be done “top down”, here as a percentage
of sales, with the exception of the D&A which was calculated “bottom up”, based on the
large Capex of the past and thus fixed.
While everything seems reasonable at first sight, it is arithmetically doomed: the EBIAT
will be a bit more than 5% of sales while the Capex and change in NWC together amount
to a negative 6% of sales. The D&A contributes positively but is fixed.
So, the more sales in 2016-2018, the less FCFF… (students who didn’t follow the
instructions to keep the D&A fixed won’t see the issue)
Conclusion: the assumptions are not all compatible

2. FACTORIG VALUATION – SGS OFFER
• €350K SGS offer doesn’t look exciting for half of the business
• Other half of the offer doesn’t add much value, on the contrary:
• SGS is de facto granted a call option. That call option should be
considered as a cost that reduces the value of the €0.35K
upfront payment.
• SGS may decide not to buy the other half and they would
probably not exercise their option just when the shareholders
would need the money most!

Dietswell. As of March 29th, Cogefi Gestion owned 42.66% of the shares
