Land for a share, or a sale?

The questionA state-linked investment group received two offers from a developer for its land: a share in the future project, or an outright purchase.
What we didWe rebuilt the developer's figures, valued every offer in today's money at the group's own cost of funds, and set out what a fair deal looks like.
What it showedThe first partnership offer was worth far less than its headline. The developer came back with a better offer for the same land.
+47%Value gained

more for the same land, hundreds of millions of Egyptian pounds in today's money, from the developer's improved offer

A long concession for a historic public attraction

The questionA private promoter proposed a long-term concession to rebuild and run a historic public attraction, paying the state a fixed amount.
What we didWe rebuilt the promoter's model until it matched the promoter's own results, then tested who keeps the value.
What it showedThe promoter's fixed fee gave the state a tiny share of the value. We showed how a share of sales would pay the state far more.
66×Value gained

more income for the state, billions of Egyptian pounds over the concession, than the promoter's fixed fee

Buying into a life insurer's share offering

The questionAn investor was invited to buy shares when a state-owned life insurer came to market.
What we didWe valued the insurer's future profits from verified sources and compared the result with the offer price.
What it showedThe offer price was well above fair value. We advised the investor not to pay more than the value we found.
Up to 50%Loss avoided

A battery maker's partnership offer

The questionA battery maker offered the client a minority stake in return for a long-term purchase commitment.
What we didWe rebuilt the maker's own model exactly, then measured what each side would bring and what each would receive.
What it showedThe stake offered was far below a fair share, which was closer to half the company. We drafted the client's counter, and the maker stepped back.
70%Loss avoided

of the client's contribution, tens of millions of dollars, would have gone to the partner for nothing

What a mineral value chain is really worth

The questionA national mineral value chain was being promoted with a headline grade that looked very rich.
What we didWe traced the chain step by step from published sources, from extraction to finished products, and tested the case for a new plant.
What it showedThe headline grade was a maximum, not an average. A new plant on that basis would take decades to pay back; the faster gain sits in an existing plant running at about a third of its design output.
7×Loss avoided

overstated. The client was spared from putting hundreds of millions of dollars into a new plant on a resource worth a seventh of its headline

Client names and money figures are withheld to protect confidentiality. Each value shows what the client gained, or the loss it avoided (a cost or an opportunity cost), as a share or a multiple and the size of the money at stake, never the real figure.
