This is a professional financial model adapted to manufacturing or retail companies that allows the user to forecast the Company's profit and loss account, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and it also estimates the value of your company/Investment using the DCF method.

The forecast is based on the company's historical performance, including interim accounts, and assumptions about the future for different scenarios.

The tabs provided can be split into two main categories:

1. Input tabs:

Drivers - in this tab you will enter general information about currency, valuation date, forecast years. etc;

a) Income Statement- in this tab the user can enter the Income Statement items, including interim accounts;

b) Balance Sheet - in this tab one can enter the historical balance sheet items, including interim accounts;

• The majority of the drivers are based on growth % or ratios based on the main drivers (i.e. Revenues, PPE) except for the absolute scenarios where the user can input absolute numbers for the different drivers

• For some drivers it's only possible the absolute numbers approach

e) DCF Valuation

2. Output tabs:
