Flow77 - In relation to your 21.38 post of yesterday there are a number of variables which would affect a proper valuation of Powerhouse. As an illustration a worse case scenario valuation based on a 35tpd DMG power only unit operational for 350 days a year works out something like this. For this illustration I am assuming that the W2T acquisition does not go ahead but Protos and the other 10 sites are built with PHE receiving just the license fee. Fees for additional services cancel out the effect of having to deduct the operational expenses before calculating the license fee which is 10% instead of the normal 20%. I am also going to assume that PHE never get anymore customers. I should say if there was any chance of this scenario actually happening, I would bail out.
Gate Fee 35 x 80 = 2,800 a day
Power 81.6 x 60 = 4,896 a day
Total 7,696 a day
Annual revenue 2,693,600
License fee @10% 269,360
So, for 11sites with one DMG unit on each site you would get annual revenues of 29,629,600. The average P/E ratio for energy from waste companies appears to be around 10 so I will use this figure although a higher P/E ratio may be applied as PHE would be a high margin company. This would give a valuation of £296,296,000.
Can somebody check my maths and tell me if they agree. As I said this is a worse case scenario.
