BRANDZ VALUATION METHODOLOGY<br />

TOP 50 MOST VALUABLE LATIN AMERICAN BRANDS 2015<br />

WHY BRANDZ TM IS<br />

THE DEFINITIVE<br />

BRAND VALUATION<br />

METHODOLOGY<br />

Eligibility criteria and definitions<br />

All brand valuation methodologies<br />

are similar – up to a point.<br />

All methodologies use financial<br />

research and sophisticated<br />

mathematical formulae to<br />

calculate current and future<br />

earnings that can be attributed<br />

directly to a brand rather than<br />

to the corporation. This exercise<br />

produces an important but<br />

incomplete picture.<br />

What’s missing? The picture of the<br />

brand at this point lacks input from<br />

the people whose opinions are most<br />

important – the consumer. This is<br />

where the BrandZ methodology<br />

and the methodologies of our<br />

competitors part company.<br />

HOW DOES THE COMPETITION<br />

DETERMINE THE CONSUMER VIEW?<br />

Interbrand derives the consumer point of view from panels of experts<br />

who contribute their opinions. The Brand Finance methodology employs<br />

a complicated accounting method called Royalty Relief Valuation.<br />

WHY IS THE BRANDZ TM<br />

METHODOLOGY SUPERIOR?<br />

BrandZ goes much further and is more relevant. Once we have<br />

the important, but incomplete, financial picture of the brand, we<br />

communicate with consumers, people who are actually paying for<br />

brands every day, constantly. Our on-going, in-depth quantitative<br />

research includes three million consumers and more than 100,000<br />

brands in over 50 markets worldwide.<br />

WHAT'S THE BRANDZ TM BENEFIT?<br />

The BrandZ methodology produces important benefits for two broad<br />

audiences.<br />

• Members of the financial community, including analysts,<br />

shareholders, investors and C-suite, depend on BrandZ for the<br />

most reliable and accurate brand value information available.<br />

ELIGIBILITY<br />

The brands ranked in the BrandZ Top<br />

50 Most Valuable Latin American Brands<br />

2015 report meet one of these four<br />

eligibility criteria:<br />

• The brand must be owned by a<br />

publicly-traded enterprise<br />

• The publicly-traded enterprise must<br />

report positive earnings<br />

• The brand must be characterized as<br />

a local Latin American brand (either<br />

originating from Latin America or a<br />

relevant proportion of its business is<br />

located there).<br />

• The brand is owned by an enterprise<br />

listed on any of the Stock Exchanges<br />

of the evaluated countries.<br />

DEFINITIONS<br />

Brand Contribution<br />

Brand Contribution is a BrandZ<br />

measurement of a brand’s uniqueness<br />

in the mind of the consumer and the<br />

impact of brand alone, without any<br />

other factors, on future earnings. Brand<br />

Contribution is expressed on a scale of<br />

one to five, with five being the highest.<br />

Brand Power<br />

Brand Power is a BrandZ measurement<br />

of a brand’s competitive position in<br />

its category. It roughly correlates with<br />

volume share. Brand Power is a BrandZ<br />

component of brand equity, which is the<br />

consumer predisposition to choose one<br />

brand over another.<br />

MEANINGFUL,<br />

DIFFERENT, SALIENT<br />

Meaningful<br />

Consumers feel an affinity for the brand<br />

or think it meets their needs. In any<br />

category, these brands appeal more,<br />

generate greater “love” and meet the<br />

individual’s expectations and needs.<br />

Different<br />

The brand feels different to other brands<br />

in the category. They are unique in a<br />

positive way and “set the trends” for the<br />

category, staying ahead of the curve for<br />

the benefit of the consumer.<br />

Salient<br />

The brand comes to mind quickly and<br />

spontaneously when activated by ideas<br />

related to category purchase. The brand<br />

of choice for key needs.<br />

• Brand owners turn to BrandZ to more deeply understand the<br />

causal links between brand strength, sales and profits, and to<br />

translate those insights into strategies for building brand equity.<br />
