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 />
