Market price is CRSP stock price and CRSP shares outstanding is the number of shares outstanding<br />

of the matching firm at the close of the day closest to the IPO offer date. OP/IV ratios <strong>for</strong> each IPO firm<br />

based on various multiples are then computed as follows: 18<br />

In addition to the comparable firm approach discussed above, we compute the intrinsic value of IPO<br />

firms using the discounted cash flow method introduced by Ohlson (1990). Here we do not require IPO<br />

firms to have positive sales and EBITDA in the year preceding the IPO. Thus, the discounted cash flow<br />

approach we implement only requires the book value of equity and earnings (whether positive or<br />

negative) to be available <strong>for</strong> three years post IPO. It also requires the calculated intrinsic value to be<br />

positive. Following Ohlson (1990), the fair value of a firm’s shares is calculated as follows:<br />

29<br />

(3.1)<br />

(3.2)<br />

(3.3)<br />

EPS − r * B<br />

+ TV . (4)<br />

2<br />

1 + r ( 1 + r)<br />

Here B 0 is the book value of issuer at the end of IPO year (annual Compustat item 60) divided by<br />

CRSP end of year number of shares outstanding; EPS is income be<strong>for</strong>e extraordinary items available to<br />

common shareholders (annual Compustat item 237) divided by CRSP number of shares outstanding; r is<br />

the required rate of return on firm’s equity. We assume a constant required rate of return r of 13%. TV,<br />

the terminal value is calculated as follows:<br />

( EPS − r * B ) + ( EPS − r * B )<br />

( 1 + r)<br />

The terminal value is calculated as an average to avoid the effect of unusual per<strong>for</strong>mance in year 3.<br />

Constant earnings growth g (5% and 0% are considered) is assumed after year 3 and the terminal value of<br />

18<br />

If earnings are missing or negative <strong>for</strong> the matching firm (in the case of earnings based valuation), the closest Compustat firm<br />

with no missing data is used as the matching firm.
