To generate a robust and defensible valuation, Valutico requires a combination of company-specific inputs and market-based assumptions. These form the basis for the platform’s analytical outputs and benchmarking calculations.
Core Input: Financial Projections
The primary input for any valuation in Valutico is the company’s financial projections, typically referred to as the business plan or operating model. These should include forward-looking estimates of key financial metrics such as:
Revenue
EBITDA
EBIT
Net Income
Capex
Working Capital
Debt and Cash positions
You can provide these inputs via:
In-platform forecasting using Valutico’s forecasting module
Uploading a spreadsheet with a custom operating model
Using the downloadable financials template provided within the system

Peer Group and Market Benchmarks
Beyond internal projections, Valutico also requires market-based references to anchor the valuation. These include:
Selection of listed peers (for benchmarking valuation multiples and Beta factors)
Comparable transactions (for reference deal multiples)
Target capital structure assumptions
Discounts or premiums to adjust for size, liquidity, or qualitative differences
Valutico provides intelligent suggestions for peers and transactions using data-driven filters, but users always retain full control to curate and adjust these selections.
Analyst Judgment and Valuation Parameters
While Valutico streamlines data input and suggests relevant benchmarks, the ultimate valuation outcome depends on your judgment as the valuation expert. You decide how to:
Fine-tune valuation parameters (e.g., WACC components, terminal growth rate)
Override peer-based defaults
Apply qualitative adjustments via the Qualitative Assessment module
This flexible approach ensures your valuations reflect both market realism and your professional expertise.
