The power of Valuatum system is within the automatic estimate generation and the ability to change the estimates. It is essential to generate the estimates before generating a report, and the automatic estimates provide a good starting point for more accurate estimates. Estimate generation uses the historical financial figures and creates forecasts for the following years based on a set of predetermined rules. The most important estimates are Net sales growth and EBIT-%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">The estimate generation rules can be modified in the superadmin page in the platform. The user therefore can overwrite the standard rules. Simple rules can use if-conditions, for example to handle negative historical values for Net sales growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Estimate generation can be utilized alongside with our valuation tool. You can find a video tutorial about using our valuation tool from our <a href=\"https:\/\/creditreports.dk\/en\/support\/platform-tutorials\/#howtovalue\">platform tutorials pages<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-block-type=\"core\">Contents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-block-type=\"core\">\n<li data-block-type=\"core\"><a href=\"#ns_growth\">Net sales growth in estimate generation<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\"><a href=\"#ebit_roi\">EBIT and ROI in estimate generation<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li data-block-type=\"core\"><a href=\"#other_items\">Other items<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ns_growth\" data-block-type=\"core\"><span id=\"ns_estimation\"><\/span>Net sales growth in estimate generation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Net sales growth-% is arguably the most important estimate, as well as a good example of a rather simple but appropriate estimate rule. It is estimated by calculating the average growth from previous years. Net sales growth-% gradually converges to 3%, which would be a sensible upper bound for growth, during the estimate years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-feature ugb-feature ugb-8554b80 ugb-feature--v2 ugb-feature--design-basic ugb-main-block\" id=\"\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-feature__item\"><div class=\"ugb-feature__content\"><h2 class=\"ugb-feature__title\">Case 1<\/h2><p class=\"ugb-feature__description\">For a company which has had reasonably positive net sales growth, the first estimate years will also have positive growth, while the estimate will start to converge to a more conservative long-term growth rate.<br><br><\/p><\/div><div class=\"ugb-feature__image-side\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ugb-feature__image ugb-img wp-image-1589\" src=\"http:\/\/www.valuatum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/05\/ns_growth_1.png\" alt=\"Estimate generation for company experiencing moderate growth\" width=\"421\" height=\"310\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-feature ugb-feature ugb-6ee4734 ugb-feature--v2 ugb-feature--design-basic ugb-main-block\" id=\"\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-feature__item\"><div class=\"ugb-feature__content\"><h2 class=\"ugb-feature__title\">Case 2<\/h2><p class=\"ugb-feature__description\">This company has had unbelievable high growth.

The depreciation percentage is calculated from the latest year, which is then applied for estimate year assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-button ugb-button-wrapper ugb-08c55f0 ugb-main-block\" id=\"\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-button-container\"><a class=\"ugb-button1 ugb-button ugb-button--size-normal ugb--hover-effect-lift\" href=\"https:\/\/creditreports.dk\/support\/credit-risk-manual\/\" rel=\"\"><span class=\"ugb-button--inner\">Back to Credit Risk Manual front page<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"ugb-button-container\"><a class=\"ugb-button2 ugb-button ugb-button--size-normal ugb--hover-effect-lift\" href=\"#top\" rel=\"\"><span class=\"ugb-button--inner\">Back to top<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\"><\/p>\n<style class=\"advgb-styles-renderer\">.ugb-8554b80 .ugb-img{width:421px;height:auto !important}.ugb-6ee4734 .ugb-img{width:424px;height:auto !important}.ugb-4c0a818 .ugb-img{width:425px;height:auto !important}.ugb-15274f7 .ugb-block-content{justify-content:flex-start}.ugb-15274f7 .ugb-button1{background-color:#abb8c3;border-radius:35px !important}.ugb-15274f7 .ugb-button1 .ugb-button--inner,.ugb-15274f7 .ugb-button1 svg{color:#222222 !important}.ugb-15274f7 .ugb-button1:before{border-radius:35px !important}.ugb-15274f7 .ugb-inner-block{text-align:left}.ugb-4abf958 .ugb-img{width:419px;height:auto !important}.ugb-720cb68 .ugb-img{width:431px;height:auto !important}.ugb-f6e9799 .ugb-img{width:421px;height:auto !important}.ugb-cc5ff1f .ugb-block-content{justify-content:flex-start}.ugb-cc5ff1f .ugb-button1{background-color:#abb8c3;border-radius:35px !important}.ugb-cc5ff1f .ugb-button1 .ugb-button--inner,.ugb-cc5ff1f .ugb-button1 svg{color:#222222 !important}.ugb-cc5ff1f .ugb-button1:before{border-radius:35px !important}.ugb-cc5ff1f .ugb-inner-block{text-align:left}.ugb-08c55f0 .ugb-block-content{justify-content:flex-start}.ugb-08c55f0 .ugb-button1{background-color:#abb8c3;border-radius:35px !important}.ugb-08c55f0 .ugb-button1 .ugb-button--inner,.ugb-08c55f0 .ugb-button1 svg{color:#222222 !important}.ugb-08c55f0 .ugb-button1:before{border-radius:35px !important}.ugb-08c55f0 .ugb-button2{background-color:#abb8c3;border-radius:35px !important}.ugb-08c55f0 .ugb-button2 .ugb-button--inner,.ugb-08c55f0 .ugb-button2 svg{color:#222222 !important}.ugb-08c55f0 .ugb-button2:before{border-radius:35px !important}.ugb-08c55f0 .ugb-inner-block{text-align:left}<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Estimate Generation Estimate generation is a component that can generate estimates to a model.
