Equity Methods today announced it has expanded its partnership with Equilar to enhance and simplify use of the Monte Carlo Simulator, a tool that helps companies create quick and easy value estimates for relative TSR (rTSR) awards from the comfort of the Equilar platform.

In 2022, Equilar developed the Monte Carlo Simulator in partnership with Equity Methods to assist issuers with their pro forma modeling and preparation processes for the SEC’s then-recently released pay versus performance rule.

Now, as part of the expanded partnership, subscribers can obtain an ASC 718-compliant fair valuation report as well as on-demand pro forma Monte Carlo modeling in a combined offering. Simulator users may now tap Equity Methods’ expertise to receive:

• Replications for five randomly chosen dates to validate the results of the Monte Carlo Simulator
• A grant-date fair valuation report specifically developed for ASC 718 financial reporting purposes

“Equity Methods and Equilar share a passion for making issuers’ lives better,” said Takis Makridis, President and CEO of Equity Methods. “Our goal is to make fair value compliance simple for Monte Carlo Simulator users. This partnership creates an easy way for issuers who enjoy hands-on Simulator access to address their compliance needs in a single package.”

“Our enhanced partnership with Equity Methods underscores our commitment to providing our clients with the most accurate, reliable and compliant solutions for their equity valuation needs,” said David Chun, CEO and Founder at Equilar. “By combining our leading-edge technology with Equity Methods’ deep expertise in valuation and financial reporting, we are offering a comprehensive solution that sets a new standard in the industry.”
