1. Definitions
Net Asset Value (NAV) per share:
Shareholder’s equity/(shares outstanding-treasury shares)
Shareholder’s equity: any of the following measures
NAV/share example using NipponKoa’s March, 2008 balance sheet:
(536,700+ 170,805+(586,000*10%))/(762m shares)= 1004 yen/share*
Growth in net asset value per share:
((NAV per share Year 2+dividends paid Year 2)- ((NAV/share Year 1+dividends paid year 1)/(NAV/share year 1+dividends paid year 1)
Target growth rate: based on 6%, Southeastern’s hurdle rate for Japanese equities, taking into account Japan’s current bond yield and an equity risk premium of approximately 5%
CAGR: “compound annual growth rate” assuming that dividends are reinvested in the shares at the share price on the day dividends are paid.
*Southeastern’s appraisal significantly exceeds NipponKoa’s March, 2008 net asset value per share, even after taking into account recent declines in Japan’s equity market. NipponKoa possesses substantial non-core real estate as well as franchise value over and above liquidation value.
