Financial Ratio Formula Sheet FSA Note: Summary of Financial Ratio Calculations This note contains a summary of the more common financial statement ratios. A few points should be noted: • Calculations vary in practice; consistency and the intuition underlying the calculated ratio are important. This list is not exhaustive. • A firm’s fiscal year end often corresponds to the point in time at which business activity is at its lowest. Hence, ratios calculated using internal data at different points in the year may differ significantly from those based on published financial statements.

Current assets less current liabilities = Current assets “working capital,” the relatively liquid portion of an enterprise that serves Current ratio = as a safeguard for meeting unexpected obligations arising within the Current liabilities ordinary operating cycle of the business. Benchmark: PG, HA, ROT (>2) Cash + marketable securities + net receivables Immediate short-term liquidity Quick (acid-test) ratio = Benchmark: PG, HA, ROT (>1) Current liabilities Cash + marketable securities More conservative than quick ratio as it excludes net receivables (all of Cash ratio = which may not be collected) Current liabilities Benchmark: PG, HA, ROT (>40-50%) CFO Ability to repay current liabilities from operations CFO ratio = Benchmark: PG, HA, ROT (>40-50%) Average current liabilities 365 X Quick ratio numerator Conservative view of firm’s liquidity.

(Cash burn rate) Projected expenditures (= COGS + Other Benchmark: PG, HA operating expenses except depreciation) Note: you may have used a different definition from corporate finance. Working capital = Current assets – Current liabilities Please use this definition for FSA. Abbreviations for benchmarks: ROT: rule of thumb. EB: economic benchmark. PG: peer group average. HA: firm’s historical average. Note: The rule of thumb numbers vary significantly depending on whose “thumbs” we are talking about. Provided here are the often-seen numbers. Industry peer and firms’ historical average are always useful benchmarks.

Book value of equity Benchmark: PG, HA Cash dividends paid on common equity Percentage of earnings distributed as cash dividends. Note: Some firms/analysts Dividend Payout = calculate this using cash dividends declared in the numerator instead. Net income Benchmark: PG, HA Cash dividends paid per share of common equity Percentage of share price distributed as cash dividends Dividend Yield = Benchmark: PG, HA Price per share Page 4 of 5 FSA formulas Numerator Solvency Ratios Interpretation and Benchmark Denominator Percentage of total assets provided by creditors. Total debt is a subset of total Total debt liabilities. Typically, you sum total long term debt and the current portion of long Debt to total assets = term debt in the numerator. Other additions might be made: notes payable, Total assets capital leases, and operating leases if capitalized. Benchmark: EB (optimal capital structure), PG, HA Total debt Percentage of total assets provided by owners. Debt to equity = Benchmark: EB (optimal capital structure), PG, HA Total shareholders’ equity Degree to which enterprise uses owners’ capital to finance assets. We’ll calculate Total (average) assets this ratio using the averages of the balance sheet accounts to facilitate our ratio Financial leverage = decomposition. Total (average) shareholders’ equity Benchmark: EB (optimal capital structure), PG, HA EBIT Ability to meet interest payments as they mature. EBIT is sometimes called Times interest earned (TIE) = Operating Income. Interest expense Benchmark: PG, HA, ROT (minimal 2-4) Ability to meet interest payments from operating cash flow. Some analysts CFO + interest and taxes paid in cash calculate the numerator using CFO + interest expense + tax expense. This CFO to interest = calculation is less internally consistent as what we are striving for in the Interest expense numerator is a cash flow number, not a mix of cash flow and accruals. Benchmark: PG, HA, ROT (>=2-4) CFO + interest and taxes paid in cash Ability to repay total liabilities in a given year from operations. See caveat above CFO to debt = regarding numerator. Average total liabilities Benchmark: PG, HA, ROT (?) CFO Measures how many times capital expenditures, debt repayments, cash dividends Cash flow adequacy = covered by CFO. CAPEX + debt and dividends payments Benchmark: PG, HA, ROT (1) Common shareholders’ equity Amount each share would receive if company were liquidated at the amounts Book value per share = reported on the balance sheet Outstanding shares Benchmark: none Operating cash flow + accruals = operating earnings. This ratio gives an CFO indication of how much CFO differs from operating earnings due to accounting CFO to Operating earnings = accruals. Operating earnings Benchmark: PG, HA, ROT (>1).

  • 14. Calculating Total Cash Flows
    Chapter 2 Lecture Problems 14. Calculating Total Cash Flows. Greene Co. shows the following information on its 2008 income statement: Sales = $138,000 Costs = $71,500 Other expenses = $4,100 Depreciation expense = $10,100 Interest expense = $7,900 Taxes = $17,760 Dividends = $5,400. In addition, you're told that the firm issued $2,500 in new equity during 2008, and redeemed $3,800 in outstanding long-term debt. a. What is the 2008 operating cash flow? b. What is the 2008 cash flow to creditors? c. What is the 2008 cash flow to stockholders? d. If net fixed assets increased by $17,400 during the year, what was the addition to NWC? a. To calculate the OCF, we first need to construct an income statement. The income statement starts with revenues and subtracts costs to arrive at EBIT. We then subtract out interest to get taxable income, and then subtract taxes to arrive at net income. Doing so, we get: Income Statement Sales $138,000 Costs 71,500 Other Expenses 4,100 Depreciation 10,100 EBIT $52,300 Interest 7,900 Taxable income $44,400 Taxes 17,760 Net income $26,640 Dividends $5,400 Addition to retained earnings 21,240 Page 1 Chapter 2 Lecture Problems Dividends paid plus addition to retained earnings must equal net income, so: Net income = Dividends + Addition to retained earnings Addition to retained earnings = $26,640 – 5,400 Addition to retained earnings = $21,240 So, the operating cash flow is: OCF = EBIT + Depreciation – Taxes OCF = $52,300 + 10,100 – 17,760 OCF = $44,640 b.

  • Mortgage-Equity and 9 Residual Valuation Techniques
    MORTGAGE-EQUITY AND 9 RESIDUAL VALUATION TECHNIQUES Introduction In this chapter we move from the stable income, all-cash world depicted in the previous chapter, to the reality that property is typically purchased with financing, creating debt leverage. Our focus is the mortgage- equity or M-E technique. This valuation technique is founded on the premise that the overall rate should reflect the importance of separate yields attributable to the equity position and to the debt position. The M-E technique is not as commonly used as capitalization or discounted cash flow in everyday real estate practice. However, the M-E technique is helpful in certain situations to: $ determine overall rates; $ derive building and land capitalization rates for residual techniques; $ analyze the capitalization rates derived through other techniques; $ test separately determined value estimates; or $ graphically analyze financial components of an overall rate.1 This chapter begins with some history on the evolution of the M-E method. Early valuation methods did not consider the impact of mortgage financing. To explore this impact, economists in the 1950s developed new valuation techniques, the first of which was Band of Investment or BOI. Roughly speaking, BOI can be considered a forerunner to the mortgage-equity method, so in order to better understand M-E, it is useful to have a quick primer on its BOI predecessor. The goal of BOI is to determine an overall capitalization rate by building up the rate from the key factors that investors consider when making an investment decision. These factors include: • The initial loan-to-value ratio; • Interest rate on the loan; • The entrepreneur’s equity investment; and • The rate of return on investment expected.

  • Equity Valuation Using Multiples: an Empirical Investigation
    Equity Valuation Using Multiples: An Empirical Investigation DISSERTATION of the University of St.Gallen Graduate School of Business Administration, Economics, Law and Social Sciences (HSG) to obtain the title of Doctor of Business Administration submitted by Andreas Schreiner from Austria Approved on the application of Prof. Dr. Klaus Spremann and Prof. Dr. Thomas Berndt Dissertation no. 3313 Deutscher Universitäts-Verlag, Wiesbaden 2007 The University of St. Gallen, Graduate School of Business Administration, Eco- nomics, Law and Social Sciences (HSG) hereby consents to the printing of the pre- sent dissertation, without hereby expressing any opinion on the views herein ex- pressed. St. Gallen, January 22, 2007 The President: Prof. Ernst Mohr, Ph.D. Foreword Accounting-based market multiples are the most common technique in equity valuation. Multiples are used in research reports and stock recommendations of both buy-side and sell-side analysts, in fairness opinions and pitch books of investment bankers, or at road shows of firms seeking an IPO. Even in cases where the value of a corporation is primarily determined with discounted cash flow, multiples such as P/E or market-to-book play the important role of providing a second opinion. Mul- tiples thus form an important basis of investment and transaction decisions of vari- ous types of investors including corporate executives, hedge funds, institutional in- vestors, private equity firms, and also private investors. In spite of their prevalent usage in practice, not so much theoretical back- ground is provided to guide the practical application of multiples. The literature on corporate valuation gives only sparse evidence on how to apply multiples or on why individual multiples or comparable firms should be selected in a particular context.

  • Part 3 Cash Flow Statement
    Part 3 Cash Flow Statement Slide # 1 Cash Flow Statement The Cash Flow Statement is the second statement you will complete, since it draws information from the Income Statement and provides information for the Balance Sheet. The ChCash Flow Sta temen t summarizes the cash actlltually entitering and lileaving the company over a period of time. Slide # 2 Cash Flow Statement How is Cash different from Net Income? All companies have at least one non‐cash expense, which is depreciation. For companies that allow accounts receivable, revenues may be recorded without a cash inflow. Likewise with accounts payable, expenses can be deducted from Net Income without a cash outflow. Additionally, Net Income reflects activity for a period of time but does not indicate how much cash was available at the start of the period. Therefore, Net Income is not the same as Cash. Example: Cash Adjustment for Depreciation If you’re working on a cash‐basis, how much of a difference could there really be between Net Income and cash? Consider this example. A newspaper company spends $250,000 in cash on a new printing press. Using a 10‐year depreciation schedule, the only expense subtracted from Net Income for the year is $25,000 in depreciation. However, cash reserves have been reduced by the full $250,000 cost. If you looked only at Net Income, you might think the company’ s cash balance is $225,000 higher than it really is. Slide # 3 Cash Flow Statement Why do you care about the cash balance? Companies only continue operating only while there is cash to pay suppliers and employees.

Forecasting cash flows are very important for decision making purposes. Reporting cash flow related information for internal decision making process receives extra attention along with external reporting. At the same time, management of cash flows on a regular basis is an important task of treasury now-a- days. The firms need to maintain a delicate balance between holding too much cash resulting into sacrifice of profitable investment opportunities and too little cash triggering unnecessary borrowing to support daily transactions. The purpose of this standard is to consider issues in developing and using cash flow information from a forward looking perspective. Sometimes it has been observed that in spite of adequate profit in business, they are unable to meet their taxes and dividends, just because of shortage of cash.

The business cannot survive if it fails to manage its cash properly. Given these trends, it is becoming increasingly important that cash flow information be prepared in a consistent and reliable manner. 18.2 Objectives The standard provides a basic guideline on forecasting cash inflows and outflows, reporting of cash flow related information, analyzing cash flow data and using cash flow data in different typical situations.
