Valuation


Informed and detailed valuation models are essential to yielding successful transaction outcomes. Our experience and reputation in this area has resulted in the firm’s valuation of over $1 billion in combined assets this past year alone.

In projecting future income, our industry expertise allows us to accurately assess historical earnings by accounting for unique aspects of a catalog across all revenue streams. We are experienced in valuing many different types of catalogs, whether standard publishing, music for television, music performed in foreign markets, production music libraries, and administration companies. In addition, we have valued catalogs that span multiple genres, including Pop, Rock, Classical, R&B/Hip-Hop, Standards, and Latin. We also consider potential fit with the seller, market dynamics, as well as identify unlocked value. Our proprietary models allow us to scenario-build and project various outcomes using their associated probabilities. In short, our extensive experience in copyright valuation allows us to provide a three-fold value to our clients: rigorous workproduct, the ability to benchmark results for greater accuracy, and established credibility.
