2011 (146.75)
2010 52.45
2009 36.00
Projected Cash Flows:Edit

Projected cash flow values for the next 10 years, based on an earnings growth prediction rate of 12.3%[13]:

Year Projected cash flow (£Mn)
2024 2,317.00
2025 2,601.99
2026 2,922.03
2027 3,281.44
2028 3,685.06
2029 4,138.32
2030 4,647.33
2031 5,218.96
2032 5,860.89
2033 6,581.78
Determining a Discount Rate:Edit

A WACC value was calculated as follows:

UK 10 Year Government Bond Yield = 4.43% (government data)

Beta value = 1.45[14]

Assumed market return premium = 6% (government data)

WACC = [risk-free rate] + [beta value * assumed market return premium]

WACC = [4.43%] + [1.45 * 6%]

WACC = 13.13%

Present value of predicted future cash flows:Edit

The present value of each predicted cash flow (over the next 10 years), after the discount rate had been applied as follows:

Present value of cash flow = { predicted cash flow }  /  { (1 + WACC)^(number of years) }

Year Present value of predicted cash flow (£Mn)
2024 2,048.08
2025 2,033.06
2026 2,018.14
2027 2,003.33
2028 1,988.64
2029 1,974.05
2030 1,959.56
2031 1,945.19
2032 1,930.92
2033 1,916.75
Net present / intrinsic value of Ryan Air:Edit

The net present value was calculated by summing the present values of predicted cash flows over the next 10 years:

Net present value = £19 817.71 Mn (£19.82 Bn)

Comparison with present market cap of Ryan Air:Edit

Given that the net present value (£19.82 Bn) calculated from the DCF analysis is less than the current market cap of Ryan Air (£18.98 Bn - as of October 2023[15]) - it is possible that Ryan Air is potentially undervalued, calling for a sensitivity analysis to be carried out.
