Cost Approach

23

Page 24: SAA 2014 Intangible Presentation Final

48th SAA ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE

When the cost approach can be developed reliably, it is very helpful in determining the appropriate allocation of value to tangible asset classes.

It may be appropriate to value certain

intangible assets by the cost approach (asset approach).

COST APPROACH

24

Page 25: SAA 2014 Intangible Presentation Final

Issues: Proper allocation of each item of cost Proper allocation of entrepreneurial incentive Recognition of and support for all forms of

Sales Comparison Approach

27

Page 28: SAA 2014 Intangible Presentation Final

48th SAA ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE

For certain property types, real property rarely sells independently of intangible assets.

If some method of allocating the sales price is available, it may be possible to do an allocated sales comparison approach.

Otherwise, the sales comparison will only provide an unallocated value of the going concern.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH

48th SAA ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE

In many cases, properties are built for specific businesses which support a going concern. In these properties, there may be an element of non-taxable value in the going concern. If there is a non-taxable element of

intangible value, how do you extract it?

INTANGIBLE VALUE - CASE STUDIES

Page 45: SAA 2014 Intangible Presentation Final

48th SAA ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE

Drug Store Example (continued)

On previous slide:

Cost to develop and value based on capitalized income is $3.0 million or $200 per square foot. General retail stores in area sell for $150 to $225 per square foot.

Leased to Walgreens, the value is $4.0 million or $267 per square foot. Walgreens-leased drug stores sell for $250 to $350 per square foot in region.

What is the $1.0 million difference in value attributed to?

Tangible (taxable) real estate, personal property, or intangible value?

INTANGIBLE VALUE - LEASES

45

Page 46: SAA 2014 Intangible Presentation Final

48th SAA ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE

Drug Store Example (continued) Legal Basis for Extracting Intangible Value: Walgreens believed a property in Madison, Wisconsin was over-

assessed due to taxation of intangible value. Walgreens appealed to Assessor and lost and then sued the City

(Walgreen Co. v. City of Madison). Walgreens lost at the trial, but appealed and the Wisconsin Supreme

Court overturned the verdict. The supreme court directed that the assessment would be based on

market rental rates in conformance with recognized appraisal authorities, such as the Appraisal of Real Estate.

Going forward in Wisconsin, contract rents will not be considered for assessment purposes due to inclusion of non-taxable intangible assets.

INTANGIBLE VALUE - LEASES

46

Page 47: SAA 2014 Intangible Presentation Final

48th SAA ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE

Many properties are built for a specific use such as a hotel. The hotel business cannot operate without the real estate, and value of real estate can be impacted by going the concern.

Are there intangible items included in the valuation of an operating hotel? If so, what are some of the intangible items? Trained workforce Brand Customer relationships Advanced bookings

How can the real estate value be separated from the going concern to avoid taxation of intangible assets?

Lets build a small hotel in Florida to see if we can identify intangible value. Assume Stabilized market 68% occupancy and $115 ADR, 2 years to stabilize. Land value $1 million, buildings $4 million, and FF&E $500,000.

ELK HILLS CASE

51

Page 52: SAA 2014 Intangible Presentation Final

48th SAA ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE

In most taxing authorities, intangible assets cannot be assessed.

Under CA law, intangibles can be assumed to exist for property to be operated at highest and best use. But intangible items must be excluded from valuation.

In Elk Hills, BOE valued power plant by income approach but did not deduct value of carbon credits needed to operate the plant.

Elk Hills sued and lost, but CA Supreme Court reversed in favor of Elk Hills.

ELK HILLS CASE - CONTINUED

52

Page 53: SAA 2014 Intangible Presentation Final

48th SAA ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE

The Supreme Court announced four principles: (1) The value of intangible assets cannot be taxed directly

or included in the value of taxable property; (2) When valuing taxable property, assessors may assume

the presence of intangible assets that are necessary to put the taxable property to beneficial or productive use;

(3) Assuming the presence of intangible assets permits the value of taxable property to be enhanced from salvage value to fair market value; and

(4) When a unit value includes the direct valuation of an intangible asset or includes income attributable to enterprise value, those values must be accounted for and removed.

ELK HILLS CASE - CONTINUED

53

Page 54: SAA 2014 Intangible Presentation Final

48th SAA ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE

This case (May 2014) addresses intangible valuation theory in the assessment of the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay Hotel. The question at issue was “how to properly value taxable property, with associated intangible assets, at fair market value.” California Court of Appeals overturned Assessment Appeal Board and Trial Court that agreed with Assessor.

Assessor Enrolled Value: Sales Price: $124,350,000 Personal Property: $7,370,000 Taxable Real Estate Value: $116,980,000

Assessor Valuation: Market Value: $129,700,000 Personal Property: $7,340,000 Real Estate: $122,360,000 Enrolled at (within 5% of appraisal): $116,980,000

Property Owner Valuation: Market Value (Purchase Price): $124,350,000 Less Personal Property: $8,000,000 Subtotal: $116,350,000 Less Taxable Real Estate: $99,500,000 Intangible Assets (goodwill and 3 others): $16,850,000

HALF MOON BAY CASE - CONTINUED

Page 56: SAA 2014 Intangible Presentation Final

48th SAA ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE

The Assessor valuation deducted the management fee and the franchise fee in Income Approach which was assumed to address intangible value. (Management Fee Method).

The Assessor attempted to discredit Assessor’s Handbook (Sec. 502) which requires removal of intangible values in property assessments.

Assessor relied on California Assessors’ Association’s position paper 99-003 rejecting the Assessors’ Handbook. The California Assessors’ Association does not agree with the Assessor’s Handbook.

HALF MOON BAY CASE - CONTINUED

56

Page 57: SAA 2014 Intangible Presentation Final

48th SAA ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE

Taxpayer expert testified that intangible value is a residual. Taxpayer expert testified that the Management Fee Method

does not capture all intangible values. Specifically did not address: 1. Hotel work force in place: $1,000,000 2. Leasehold interest in a parking lot: $200,000 3. Agreement with golf course operator: $1,500,000 4. Goodwill: $14,150,000 Total: $16,850,000

Court ruled that method used by Assessor violated law as it did not remove all intangible items.

Interestingly, ruling did not require assessor to recalculate goodwill, just workforce, parking leasehold and golf course agreement.

Page 58: SAA 2014 Intangible Presentation Final

48th SAA ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE

Why are cap rates higher for lodging than for traditional commercial real estate? An hypothesis is that the cap rate includes a return on intangible items.

We can look at rates from PwC National Real Estate Investor Survey for 2nd Quarter 2014 (Korpacz):

Reasonable real estate rate is 7.75% for our subject full service hotel and 6.50% for other asset types.

Note that a management fee is already deducted when the hotel cap rate is derived.

We will need to know the required return for the intangible business operations.

We can find the business cap rate from a business valuation resource. Operating hotel companies trade at 6 to 7 multiples of pre-debt EBITDA or cap rates of 14% to 16%. We will use 15%.

With rates estimated, we can allocate percentage of value allocated to each component based on iteration of weighted rate.

If the NOI is $1.55 million, we can prove the allocation by capitalizing the income from each component.

One method of determining intangible value is the management fee which was deducted. The calculation below is based on a 20% net profit and 3% expense.

Does deduction of $279,000 in management fees account for $2,941,180 of intangible asset value?

In most taxing jurisdictions, the values of intangible items must be excluded from assessed values of real property.

Even though intangible items may exist, they may not add value to a going concern.

If there are intangible items of value, there are numerous methods available to extract the value of intangible assets.
