Valuation

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Historical Cash Flows:

Ryan Air's annual free cash flows from the past 10 years[12]:

Year Annual Free Cashflow (£ Mn)
2023 2 063.22
2022 1 010.68
2021 (-3 072.54)
2020 831.96
2019 545.19
2018 892.85
2017 523.90
2016 1 133.79
2015 1 143.06
2014 722.26
2013 918.44
2012 1 006.38
2011 (- 146.75)
2010 52.45
2009 36.00
Projected Cash Flows:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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.
