Supporting context

This section explains the evidence and judgment used to support the recommendation and the legal, brand and financial assumptions used in the valuation.

Reference case

Fortum

Prepared reference case

Indicative value of the Fortum name in electricity and gas retail. Generation assets, hedges, customer contracts and enterprise value are excluded.

Revenue follows electricity and gas prices, and the segment margin is about 4%. The Fortum name on generation is excluded by judgement because that output is sold on exchanges. The 0.90% name-only ceiling and 0.630% selected royalty are analyst assumptions, not an observed licence. Opening hypothetical rent of EUR 19.1m is about 15.6% of EUR 122m FY2025 Consumer Solutions comparable operating profit. Legal and behavioural inputs are outside-in estimates, not a trademark opinion or customer survey.
Informed by numerous sources including company reporting, investor materials, analyst research, market data and selected benchmark references where relevant.
