McGraw-Hill/Irwin © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2003 All rights reserved Cutting to the Core: ROCE Drivers ROCE is decomposed into drivers over three levels of analysis: 1.Analysis of Leverage 1.Analysis of Operating Profitability 1.Analysis of Net Borrowing Costs

McGraw-Hill/Irwin © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2003 All rights reserved First-Level Breakdown: Analysis of Effects of Financial Leverage (FLEV) So, ROCE is a weighted return to operating activities and financing activities: or, RNOA = OI (After tax) / NOA(Return on Net Operating Assets) FLEV = NFO / CSE(Financial Leverage) NBC= NFE (after tax) / NFO(Net Borrowing Cost) SPREAD= RNOA – NBC(Operating Spread) Spread

McGraw-Hill/Irwin © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2003 All rights reserved The Financial Leverage Equation ROCE = RNOA + FLEV x [RNOA – NBC] The equation says that ROCE is driven by three factors: 1.Profitability of Operations: RNOA 2.Financial Leverage: FLEV = NFO CSE 3.Operating Spread: RNOA - NBC

McGraw-Hill/Irwin © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2003 All rights reserved ROCE = RNOA + [FLEV x SPREAD] -4% -2% 0% 2% 4% 6% 8% FLEV Difference between ROCE and RNOA (ROCE-RNOA) SPREAD = 6% SPREAD = 4% SPREAD = 2% SPREAD = 1% SPREAD = 0% SPREAD =-1% SPREAD =-2% How Financial Leverage Explains the Difference Between ROCE and RNOA

McGraw-Hill/Irwin © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2003 All rights reserved Financial Leverage: General Mills, Inc. General Mills, a large manufacturer of packaged foods, has had considerable stock repurchases over the years. At the end of fiscal 1998 common shareholder equity was only $190.2 million on net operating assets of $2.251 billion. Its financial leverage was a huge 5.745, based on average balance sheet amounts. The firm’s ROCE for 1998 was 121.6%. Further analysis reveals that this very high number is driven by the high leverage: ROCE = RNOA + [FLEV x (RNOA  NBC)] 121.6% = 21.6% + [5.745 x (21.6%  4.2%)] ROCE can exaggerate underlying operational profitability: RNOA is 21.6% but the high financial leverage, combined with a SPREAD over a borrowing cost of 4.2%, yields a much higher ROCE. Beware of firms boasting high ROCE: is it driven by financial leverage?

McGraw-Hill/Irwin © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2003 All rights reserved Financial Leverage: General Mills, Inc. A What-If Question: What if the RNOA at General Mills fell to 3%? What would be the effect on ROCE? The answer is that the ROCE would fall to -3.9%: -3.9% = 3.0% + [5.745 x (3.0%  4.2%)] The unfavorable leverage would produce a negative ROCE on a positive RNOA.

McGraw-Hill/Irwin © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2003 All rights reserved Microsoft Corp has been very profitable. For fiscal 1998 the firm reported an ROCE of 36.3% on average common equity of $ billion. But Microsoft had no financing debt other than $980 million of convertible preferred stock. And it had considerable financial assets of $ billion from cash generated from its operations. The return on average net financial assets was 8.0% (a significant portion from unrealized gains on financial assets). The reported ROCE masks the profitability of operations: The RNOA of 179.4% is weighted down by return on financing activities in the overall ROCE. Financial Leverage: Microsoft Corp.

McGraw-Hill/Irwin © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2003 All rights reserved Microsoft has regular stock repurchases. In fiscal 1998 the company used $2.796 billion of its financial assets to repurchase stock. What would the ROCE have been had it not undertaken the stock repurchase? The answer: With $2.796 billion more in average financial assets and common equity, the NFA to CSE ratio would have been rather than 0.835, and the ROCE would have been: 31.5% = 179.4%  [0.863 x (179.4%  8.0%)] Stock repurchases (and dividends) increase ROCE. Financial Leverage: Microsoft Corp. A What-If Question:

McGraw-Hill/Irwin © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2003 All rights reserved The Effects of Operating Liability Leverage (OLLEV) Operating liabilities lever the Return on Net Operating Assets What would be the operating profitability without operating liabilities? where Implicit Interest on Operating Liabilities = Short-term Borrowing Rate x Operating Liabilities The Effect of OLLEV: where RNOA = ROOA + (OLLEV x OLSPREAD)

McGraw-Hill/Irwin © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2003 All rights reserved Operating Liability Leverage: General Mills, Inc. General Mills had average net operating assets of $2.310 billion during fiscal 1998 of which $1.159 billion were in operating liabilities other than deferred taxes and pension liabilities. Thus its operating liability leverage ratio was Its borrowing rate on its short-term notes payable was 5.4%, or 3.4% after tax. It reported operating income of $499.6 million, but applying the after-tax short-term borrowing rate to operating liabilities other than deferred tax and pension liabilities, this operating income includes implicit after-tax interest charges of $39.4 million. So, The effect of operating liability leverage is favorable:

McGraw-Hill/Irwin © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2003 All rights reserved Operating Liability Leverage: General Mills, Inc. A What-If Question: What-if suppliers were to charge the short-term borrowing rate of 5.4% explicitly for the credit in accounts payable. What would be the effect on ROCE? The answer: Probably no effect. The interest would be an additional expense. But, to stay competitive, the supplier would have to reduce prices of goods sold to the firm by a corresponding amount so that the total price charged (in implicit plus explicit interest) remains the same. But supplier markets may not work as efficiently as this supposes, so firms can exploit operating liability leverage.
