With time, the number of spreadsheets on this page has also increased. To help you in finding the spreadsheet that you might want, I have categorized the spreadsheets into the following groups:
Free lotus symphony download. Productivity downloads - Lotus Symphony by IBM and many more programs are available for instant and free download.
- Corporate finance spreadsheets: These spreadsheets are most useful if you are interested in conventional corporate financial analysis. It includes spreadsheets to analyze a project's cashflows and viability, a company's risk profile, its optimal capital structure and debt type, andwhether it is paying out what it can afford to in dividends. These programs are broadly categorized into those that
- Estimate risk in an investment and its hurdle rate, as well as assess investment returns (net present value, internal rate of return, accounting return)
- Evaluate the right mix of debt and equity in a business and the right type of debt for a firm
- Examine how much a firm should return to investors and in what form (dividends versus buybacks)
- Valuation Inputs Spreadsheets: In this section, you will find spreadsheets that allow you to
- Estimate the right discount rate to use for your firm, starting with the risk premium in your cost of equity and concluding with the cost of capital for your firm.
- Convert R&D and operating leases into capitalized assets
- Estimate the right capital expenditures and diagnose the terminal value assumptions to see if they are reasonable.
- Valuation Model Reconciliation: In this section, you will find spreadsheets that reconcile different DCF approaches - FCFE versus Dividend Discount Model, FCFE versus FCFF model, EVA versus Cost of capital and Net Debt versus Gross Debt Approaches.
- Big-picture valuation spreadsheets: If you are looking for one spreadsheet to help you in valuing a company, I would recommend one of these 'ginzu' spreadsheets. While they require a large number of inputs, they are flexible enough to allow you to value just about any company. You do have to decide whether you want to use a dividend, FCFE or FCFF model spreadsheet. If you have no idea which one will work for you, I would suggest that you try the 'right model' spreadsheet first.
- Focused valuation spreadsheets: If you have a clear choice in terms of models - stable growth dividend discount, 2-stage FCFE etc. - you can download a spreadsheet for the specific model in this section.
- Valuation of specific types of companies: Valuation is all about exceptions, and these spreadsheets are designed to help value specific types of companies including:
- Financial Service firms: While dividend discount models tend to be the weapon of choice for many, you will find an excess equity return model here.
- Troubled firms: You will find an earnings normalizer spreadsheet, a generic valuation model for valuing a firm as a going concern and a spreadsheet that allows you to estimate the probability that a troubled firm will not survive.
- Private companies: You will find spreadsheets for adjusting discount rates and estimating illiquidity discounts for private companies.
- Young and high-growth firms: You will find a revenue growth estimator as well as a generic valuation model for high growth firms in this section.
- Multiples: You can estimate equity as well as firm value multiples, based upon fundamentals.
- Valuation in Acquisitions: You can value synergy in an acquiisition and analyze a leveraged buyout.
- Valuation of other assets: In this section, you will find a model for valuing income-generating real estate.
- Value Enhancement Spreadsheets: In this section, you will find a spreadsheet that reconciles EVA and DCF valuation, a model for estimating CFROI and a DCF version of a value enhancement spreadsheet.
- Basic option pricing models: In this seciton, you will find Black-Scholes models for valuing short term options, long term options and options that result in dilution of stock (such as warrants). In addition, you will find spreadsheets that convert Black-Scholes inputs into Binomial model inputs and use the binomial model to value options.
- Real option models in corporate finance: In this section, you will find three basic real option models - the option to delay, the option to expand and the option to abandon. In addition, the value of financial flexibility is considered as an option.
- Real option models in valuation: In this section, you will find models to value both a patent (and a firm owning a patent) as an option, natural resource firms and equity in deeply troubled firms.
These spreadsheet programs are in Excel and are not copy protected. Download them and feel free to modify them to your own specifications. I do have video guides available for some of the most accessed spreadsheets. I hope they are useful.
One more point. I am not an expert on Microsoft Excel and am frankly mystified by some of the quirky differences between the Mac version (which I use) and the PC version (which you probably have). If you want to refine your spreadsheet skills, you can of course by a book on Excel. However, a reader of this website, Alex Palfi of Tykoh Training, has been kind enough to offer this guide to using and building spreadsheets. Please feel free to download it and use it and to then convey your appreciation to him.
Browser warning: Starting in August 2021, Google Chrome seems to be having trouble downloading files (spreadsheets, data etc.) from my site. I have no idea why, and have little interest in investing more time finding out. If you have download problems, please try a different browser.
Back in ’08, we saw a change in the world of word processors because the IBM Lotus Symphony was released that year. The IBM Lotus Symphony is a power packed suite of office applications developed by IBM. Very similar to the usual selection, Microsoft Office, Lotus Symphony provides you the ability to edit/create/share presentations, texts, and spreadsheets. Different from Microsoft which is it’s counterpart, the IBM suite provides its users the ability to open a presentation/text/spreadsheet application from the very same position. So what this means is an individual can write a document, create and fill in a spreadsheet and create a presentation, and all that from the very same location. A different and faster approach than Microsoft Office.
Lotus Symphony works with Linux, IBM and Windows, and you can download and install it for free. The office suite consists of 3 applications: IBM Lotus Symphony Documents, IBM Lotus Symphony spreadsheet, IBM Lotus Symphony Presentations.
Lotus Symphony Mac Download Full
It’s vital to keep in mind that IBM Lotus Symphony bases mostly upon OpenOffice.org 3. So there are tons of features that you can find in both IBM Lotus Symphony and OpenOffice that are similar.
Lotus Symphony Document
This is basically the word processor that replaces MS Word. Don’t get me wrong when I say that this is a world class word processor that provides many features which are essential in making a pro word document. You must notice that there is a tabbed user interface that features a program or document.
You can also download tons of document types that can be of various types.
For people who love to have clip art in their word documents, you can download your favourite clip arts to make a creative word document and the best part about it is that you can save the documents in MS Word formats.
Lotus Symphony Spreadsheet
Ofcourse you’d need some place separate to handle your spreadsheets, won’t you? This is a substitute for MS Excel and enables you to produce new spreadsheets or use built in templates.
Lotus Symphony Presentation
Presentation is the replacement program from IBM Lotus Symphony for MS PowerPoint where you can create your desired PowerPoint documents from scratch or even edit pre made PowerPoint document.
Web Browser
Now this is something not every word processor suite provides. The web browser enables you to easily open links in tab while working on the project. This is a very handy web browser specially for those who frequently need to open and observe links in documents. A very good addition to the suite.
Conclusion
Symphony software, free download
If you’re looking for a word processor better than the usual selection Microsoft Office at a price that is cheap or absolutely free, go for IBM Lotus Symphony. Email client like MS Access are not included, but if you really do need it you can use OpenOffice.org base which works the same. All in all it seems like IBM Lotus Symphony is a free word processor program that can get your work done easily and efficiently.
