Brand Valuation – set the scene
What are Intangibles?
Easier to explain in context of tangibles – ‘Tangible assets would consist of exclusively of assets with a physical substance capable of being touched and intangible assets would comprise solely incorporeal rights.
Non-financial fixed assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and controlled by the entity through custody or legal rights.
Examples would include goodwill, patents, brands and trademarks. Deferred expenditure such as research and development costs are also
considered an intangible asset.

Brand Valuation – set the scene
Traditional Accounting Treatment for Intangibles?
Purchased goodwill - usually the difference between the purchase price and the book value of the assets.
Will be appear in the Balance Sheet as an asset and then amortised (written off) over 20 years or useful life.
Should not be shown at a value greater than its recoverable amount – Impairment Reviews required.
Internally generated goodwill – will not be recognised on the company’s Balance Sheet.
Internally developed intangible assets should be capitalised only where they have a readily ascertainable market.

Brand Valuation – set the scene
Readily Ascertainable Market -
HMRC guidance –
The assets belongs to a population of assets that are equivalent in all material aspects, and An active market, evidenced by frequent transactions, exists for that population of assets.
Example would be milk quota held by a farming company. Same rules apply to brands
@simonmurrison

Value concept

@simonmurrison
Brand Valuation – Methods
3 Methods currently being used
Income Approach Market Approach Cost Approach
Value concept & characteristics of the brand will dictate which approach is used
@simonmurrison
Brand Valuation – Income Approach
Measures the value of the brand by reference to the present value of the economic benefits expected to be received over the remaining useful economic life of the brand.
Estimating the expected after-tax cash flow streams attributable to the asset over its remaining economic life, and converting these after-tax cash streams to present value through discounting with an appropriate discount rate
@simonmurrison
Brand Valuation – Income Approach
Cash flow methods –
Price Premium Method – estimate the value of a brand by reference to the price premium it creates.
Volume Premium Method – estimate the value of a brand by reference t the volume premium that it generates.
Income-split Method – value the brand as the present value of the portion of economic profit attributable to the brand.
Multi-period Excess Earnings Method – present value of the future residual cash flow after deducting returns for all other assets required to operate the business.
Incremental Cash Flow Method – the cash flow generated by a brand in a business through comparison with a comparable business with no such brand.
Royalty Relief Method – present value of expected future royalty payments assuming that the brand is not owned but licensed.
@simonmurrison
Brand Valuation – Income Approach
Financial Variables –
Discount rate applied Useful economic life. Tax rate – cash flow is ‘after tax’.
@simonmurrison
Brand Valuation – Market Approach
Measures value based on what other purchasers in the market have paid for assets that can be considered reasonably similar to those being valued.
The application of market approach shall result in an estimate of the price reasonably expected to be realised if the brand were to be sold.
@simonmurrison
Brand Valuation – Market Approach
Considerations –
Needs to be comparable Brand strengths Goods and services similar Economic and legal situation Closeness in time to transaction Independent parties involved Similar strategic values & synergies
@simonmurrison
Brand Valuation – Cost Approach
Measures the value of a brand based on the cost invested in building the brand, or its replacement or reproduction cost.
The actual cost invested in the brand shall encompass all costs spent on building and protecting the brand up to the value date.
The cost to replace the brand shall include the cost of constructing a similar brand of equivalent utility at prices applicable at the time of the valuation analysis.
