Capitalisation of Net Operating Profit<\/b>\u00a0is the primary method of valuation and is performed by assessing a net operating profit (based on the pub or hotel\u2019s historical trading performance) and capitalising that into perpetuity at an appropriate capitalisation rate (yield). The capitalisation rate is derived by analysing recent hotel sales that are considered comparable.<\/span><\/p>

For example, if the Valuer adopts an achievable net income of $400,000 per annum and a capitalisation rate of 16%, the adopted value would be calculated by dividing the net income by the capitalisation rate. The achievable net operating profit is assessed by analysing the hotels trading performance through the profit and loss statements and turnover reports.<\/span><\/p>

Particular consideration is given to each of the following items:<\/span><\/p>

Turnover<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Analysed on a dollar per week or dollar per annum basis. Historical turnover levels for each department will need to be provided (ie. bars, retail, food, accommodation etc.). The Valuer will determine appropriate turnover levels in comparison to historical performance.<\/span><\/p>

Gross Profit Margins<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Analysed as a percentage of turnover. The Valuer will compare the achieved gross profit margins with industry averages for each department. The Valuer will adopt gross profit margins based on historical performance, as long as achieved gross profit margins are not out of line with industry parameters.<\/span><\/p>

Expenses<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Analysed as a percentage of turnover or on quantum dollar basis. The Valuer will compare expenses to industry levels and may require invoices to reconcile major expense items. Assuming that expenses are not out of line with industry parameters, expense levels will be based on historical performance.<\/span><\/p>

Wages are of particular interest and depending on the size of the pub or hotel may either be included or excluded in determining the net operating profit. Typically, smaller hotels suitable for owner management will have owner\u2019s wages excluded, however larger hotels will have all operational owner\/management wages included in the expense assessment. The inclusion or exclusion of manager\u2019s wages will be dependent on the manner in which the Valuer analyses their sales.<\/span><\/p>

Gaming<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Gaming income is commonly analysed based on metered win per machine per day. Gaming income is compared to local area averages. Net Operating Profit \u2013 The resultant net operating profit is often adjusted for a gaming machine replacement allowance, which is a sinking fund that allows for the continual upgrade of gaming machines. The adjustment for the gaming machine replacement allowance will depend on the Valuer and their valuation method.<\/span><\/p>
