He believed that in the real estate and construction sectors there is a lack of practical, reliable and punctual sources of information. To cover such a gap, he launched a monthly review and, started to publish a series of specific books and software to better support engineers, architects, and public utilities in their tasks. During the last two years, both the number of books published and software released, and their relative prices have been sharply increased. Such business strategy contributed to strongly increase company sales revenues, but it didn’t generate a proportional growth in company bank balance. Such period has been also characterised by investments in E-commerce and related customer services, which shows a growing contribution in terms of company sales. On the basis of such results, the entrepreneur believes that this is the right way to pursue Grafill’s growth. In particular, for the next two years, he foresees to reinforce the number of product to be launched and E-commerce activities.

Do not quote or reproduce without permission THREE RESIDUAL INCOME VALUATION METHODS AND DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW VALUATION Abstract In this paper we show that the three residual Income models for equity valuation always yield the same value as the Discounted Cash Flow Valuation models. We use three residual income measures: Economic Profit, Economic Value Added (EVA) and Cash Value Added. We also show that economic profit and EVA are different, although Copeland, Koller and Murrin (2000, page 55) say that economic profit is a synonym of EVA. Specifically, we first show that the present value of the Economic Profit discounted at the required return to equity plus the equity book value equals the value of equity. The value of equity is the present value of the Equity cash flow discounted at the required return to equity. Then, we show that the present value of the EVA discounted at the WACC plus the enterprise book value (equity plus debt) is the enterprise market value. The enterprise market value is the present value of the Free cash flow discounted at the WACC.

  • Finance for Managers
    Pablo Fernandez. PhD BusEc (Finance) Harvard U. May 29, 2019 IESE Business School, University of Navarra Finance for Managers Finance for Managers Pablo Fernandez Professor of Finance. IESE Business School, University of Navarra Camino del Cerro del Aguila 3. 28023 Madrid, Spain e-mail: [email protected] The first section (from accounting to corporate finance) answers the following questions: What is the net income? Is it what the shareholders “earn”, what the company “earns”, what someone “earns”? What does shareholders´ equity mean? Is it money? We show that net income is an arbitrary number which depends on several decisions on the accounting of expenses and revenues. We use three different definitions of cash flow: equity cash flow (ECF), free cash flow (FCF) and capital cash flow (CCF) and answer to the question: When is net income equal to the equity cash flow? The second section (shareholder value creation and shareholders return) defines, analyzes and calculates shareholder value creation. It also differentiates the expected return from the required return. The all-shareholder return is the return that all the shareholders of a company had in a period. It is equal to the hypothetical return of a unique shareholder of the company. It is also the return of a shareholder that always had a constant proportion of the shares. The all-period shareholder return is the return that a shareholder that maintained the shares for the whole period had. There are many all-period shareholder returns, depending on the actions of the shareholder during the period: fraction of dividends reinvested, fraction of shares sold when the company repurchased them, number of shares subscribed when the company increased capital… Most databases provide a specific all-period shareholder return valid for a shareholder that reinvested 100% of the dividends, did not sell any share in repurchases and did not subscribe any new share when the company increased capital.

  • The Relationship Between Economic Value Added, Return on Assets, and Return on Equity with Market Value Added in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE)

The sample involves 87 non-financial companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) over the period 2004–2008. Pearson correlation coefficient and regression method was employed to analysis the scondary data. The results indicated there are meaningful correlation between EVA, and ROE with MVA, but there is not meaningful association between ROA and MVA. Key words: economic value added, return on assets, return on equity, market value added, cost of capital 1. Introduction Nowadays, according to company’s development and separation of ownership from management, the discovery of appropriate criterion has become increasingly important for evaluating managers and company's performance(Nakhaei, Nik Intan, Melati, & Nakhaei, 2013). According to Jahankhani & Sohrabi (2010), in order to ensure optimal allocation of limited resources, evaluating of the companies’ performance is vital. Suitable criteria for evaluating performance of the enterprise or shareholder value must be used, if the value of the company does not propel toward real value, the funds are not allocated properly.
