Spanish term or phrase: descuento de flujos de caja con un coeficiente multiplicador
Not sure quite what they mean here. It's from a Spanish purchase agreement to buy all the shares of a Spanish plc.

"El precio de la totalidad de las Participaciones es de XXX euros. El Precio de las Participaciones ha sido calculado del siguiente modo: [en base a un valor de empresa de [X.XXX.XXX Euros] calculado mediante el descuento de flujos de caja con un coeficiente multiplicador y sin tener en cuenta la deuda financiera neta de la Sociedad] al cual se le ha restado el importe de XXX € correspondiente a la deuda financiera neta de la Sociedad [a esta fecha] declarada por los Vendedores de acuerdo con la Certificación mencionada en la Cláusula 5 (viii) del Contrato."

Does this mean that they arrived at this figure (value of the company ) by deducting the cash flow from a larger amount and using a multiplication coefficient (?)? I don't really get the "con" here. Using?

Any help appreciated!

discounted cash flows with a multiplying factor/coefficient
Explanation:

http://www.finance-glossary.com/terms/discounted-cashflow.ht...
A formula closely related to Net Present Value which springs from the idea that £1 received in ten years' time is not worth as much as £1 received now because the £1 received now could be invested for those ten years and compound into a higher value.

Discounted cashflow applies a discount rate to future cashflows to establish their present worth. Added to the company's terminal value (i.e. what you'd get if you sold its assets), this gives you a total value for the whole business.

flow of funds discount through a multiplication coefficient


Explanation:
Hello Will:

In my opinion the con that want to translate would be translated as through, because it is through the multiplication coefficient that they shall obtain the flow of funds discount

Definition of flow of funds: Entradas y salidas de dinero generadas por un proyecto, inversión o cualquier actividad económica.

Hope it helps you!!
