Cash Flow Analysis SPACE-IOUS Cars Ltd Mary Low Waikato Management School The University of Waikato © Mary Low © Mary Low

Importance of Cash Remember that in finance*, cash is king. To explain the importance of cash, let us first look at this hint provided by Gitman (2000) in a Managerial Finance textbook. Remember that in finance*, cash is king. Income statement [Performance statement] profits are good, but they do not pay the bills nor do asset owners accept them in place of cash. * Gitman defines finance as ‘the art and science of managing money’ (p. 2).  Profits do not represent cash in the business. Income (Performance) Statement profits are determined under GAAPs. © Mary Low

Why is Cash important? You could say that Cash is one of the most important assets in an organisation Without cash, an organisation will not survive in the long term. You might try and think of cash as petrol that you need for your car to go! You car won’t go if your petrol gauge indicates ‘empty’. Neither will the business ‘go’ if it doesn’t have cash! A business without cash cannot: pay for supplies, wages and other operating costs buy assets to help it earn revenues, repay debts or reward its owners © Mary Low

How to evaluate an organisation’s cash flows? To evaluate an organisation’s cash flows, we usually look at their Statement of Cash Flows The statement of cash flows summarises how an organisation’s operating, investing and financing activities have affected cash during an accounting period. Operating activities Financing activities Investing activities © Mary Low

Statement of Cash Flows – Operating Activities This category of activities show cash flows directly related to the production and sale of the organisation’s goods and services. Net cash flow from operating activities Cash Sales Accounts Receivables Cash inflows from customers Interest Tax Suppliers Operating Expenses Cash outflows to suppliers, employees and other expenses © Mary Low

Statement of Cash Flows – Investing Activities This category of activities show cash flows related with the acquiring and selling of non-current assets like property, plant and equipment assets and investments. Sale of Property, plant and equipment assets Purchase of investments Net cash flow from investing activities Sale of investments Cash outflow inflow © Mary Low

Statement of Cash Flows – Financing Activities This category of activities show cash flows related with equity capital contribution and rewards to owner(s) and debt borrowing and repayments. Capital contribution/ Issue of shares Short-term / long term borrowing Cash Drawings by sole trader or dividends paid to shareholders Repayment of short-term / Cash inflow outflow Net cash flow from financing activities © Mary Low

How to evaluate a Statement of Cash Flows We will look at SPACE-IOUS Cars Ltd, a fictitious example from 2 situations. Situation 1 shows an overall favourable cash position for the SPACE-IOUS Cars Ltd business. Situation 2 – You are to try this as a practice example. What makes the cash position and cash flows favourable or unfavourable need to be examined. © Mary Low © Mary Low

Situation 1 - Details Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended 31 March 2005 31 March 2006 Cash flows from Operating Activities Receipts from customers $3,381,000 $4,011,000 Payments to suppliers (1,940,000) (2,530,000) Payments for operating expenses (980,000) (990,000) Interest paid (43,000) (22,000) Tax paid (45,000) (53,000) Net cash flow from operating activities 373,000 416,000 Cash flows from Investing Activities Purchase of non-current assets (95,000) (79,000) Net cash flow from investing activities Cash flows from Financing Activities Share issues 32,000 Loan repayment (80,000) (30,000) Net cash flow from financing activities (48,000) Net Increase (Decrease) in cash $230,000 $307,000 Opening cash balance 25,000 255,000 Closing cash balance $255,000 $662,000 © Mary Low

Situation 1 - Analysis The overall cash position in SPACE-IOUS Cars Ltd (Situation 1) is favourable because of the following reasons: Net increase in cash in 2005 was $230,000. In 2006, the net increase in cash was $307,000 resulting in an overall cash closing balance of $662,000. Net cash flow from operating activities is positive. In 2005, it was $373,000 and in 2006 it was $416,000. It is important to have positive operating net cash flows. Positive operating cash flows tells us that we should be able to pay for operating costs, have cash available for purchase of assets and investments as well as repay borrowings and rewarding the owner(s). © Mary Low

Situation 1 – Analysis continued Net cash flow from investing activities is negative. In 2005, it was $95,000 and in 2006 it was $79,000. A negative cash flow under investing activities is not necessarily unfavourable. In this situation, the negative cash flows were due to the purchase of non-current assets. Purchase of such assets can signal growth or replacement of assets that are needed to improve revenue-earning potential. Net cash flow from financing activities is negative. In 2005, it was $48,000 and in 2006 it was $30,000. Similar to investing activities, a negative cash flow here is not necessarily unfavourable. In this situation, the negative cash flow was due to the repayment of debt. Debt repayment is good as it may imply that the riskiness of the business is being reduced. © Mary Low

Situation 1 – Analysis continued Overall, SPACE-IOUS Cars Ltd has a very good cash position as it is generating significant positive cash flows from its operating activities. This has allowed the business to purchase more assets, to repay debt and to increase its overall cash position. © Mary Low
