Using an unlevered Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) model, we project Natural Gas Services Group, Inc.'s cash flows over 5 years with line-by-line expense modeling. Revenue is projected revenue growing from 13.9% to 24.2% annually, with expenses (COGS, SG&A, R&D) held at historical ratios. Depreciation is computed from a vintage matrix based on a 5-year useful life. Working capital is modeled using historical turnover days (DSO 102, DPO 43, DIO 89). At a 6.7% WACC with mid-year discounting, the terminal value (147% of enterprise value) is derived by applying the industry peer median EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.1x to Year 6 EBITDA. After subtracting net debt, the equity value implies a fair price of $20.69 per share, suggesting NGS is overvalued by 48.3% at the current price of $40.04.
Adjust parameters to explore scenarios. Changes are for exploration only and do not affect saved valuations.

Based on default parameters
Using an unlevered Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) model, we project Natural Gas Services Group, Inc.'s cash flows over 10 years with analyst estimates for the first 3–5 years, fading toward long-term GDP growth for the remaining years with line-by-line expense modeling. Revenue is projected revenue growing from 13.9% to 6.5% annually, with expenses (COGS, SG&A, R&D) held at historical ratios. Depreciation is computed from a vintage matrix based on a 5-year useful life. Working capital is modeled using historical turnover days (DSO 102, DPO 43, DIO 89). At a 6.7% WACC with mid-year discounting, the terminal value (162% of enterprise value) is derived by applying the industry peer median EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.1x to Year 11 EBITDA. After subtracting net debt, the equity value implies a fair price of $44.21 per share, suggesting NGS is fairly valued by 10.4% at the current price of $40.04.
