recently announced stock repurchase plan.

Sector valuation and risks
Our stock valuations are derived from a combination of comparable companies’
analysis, analysis of near-term earnings viability and computation of discounted
cash flows. For comparable companies’ and near-term earnings analysis, we
primarily employ a P/E-based valuation methodology and at times an EV/EBITDAbased
valuation approach for each of the stocks under our coverage, discussed in
this bulletin. We select what we deem to be an appropriate multiple on our
forward earnings (EPS) or EBITDA estimates based on our assessment of relative
growth rates, risks and competitive position.
Risks to investments in these stocks include a general economic slowdown
affecting employment trends and consumer spending, tight discretionary
corporate spending environment, interest rate fluctuations, and difficulty in
attracting and retaining top talent.
