AN EDUCATED GUESTIMATION OF PPS

This concerns the Super Tucano that is in TADF possession, the Sierra Nevada Corp partnership and the pilot training contract that is due for the beginning of the year.

The basic calculations can also be used for other contracts to get a general idea for PPS.

Working backwards to see how much the training portion of the Super Tucano contract could be.

The entire Embraer contract is worth $355 million for 20 planes with the possibility that it could grow to $950 million for 55 planes.

Each plane is said to cost $10.63 million.

20 planes x $10.63 million each = $212,600,000
55 planes x $10.63 million each = $584,650,000

For the $355 million contract
$355,000,000 - $212,600,000 = $142,000,000

For the $950 million contract
$950,000,000 - $584,650,000 = $583,700,000

that's $142 or $584 million for other stuff besides the planes.

How this translates to TADF


According to Yahoo finance, the Aerospace/Defense Products and Services industry has an average P/E of 14.5 and a Net Profit Margin % 6.8

... say TADF landed a $10 million contract. Using the above numbers.

.068 (Net Profit Margin) = earnings / 10,000,000 = $680,000 earnings

$680,000 / 6 000 000 000 shares = $0.000113333333/shares earnings

0.000113333333 x 14.5 = $0.0017 per share.

so, according to this, if TADF lands a $10 mil contract, share price should be around .0017.

$40 million = $.0068
$100 million = $.017

This is all based on industry averages. The actual share price may be higher, or lower depending on what the market decides.
