3. 9-3 Prospective Analysis Security Valuation - free cash flow and residual income models require estimates of future financial statements. Management Assessment - forecasts of financial performance examine the viability of companies’ strategic plans. Assessment of Solvency - useful to creditors to assess a company’s ability to meet debt service requirements, both short-term and long-term.

6. 9-6 The Projection Process Steps: 1.Project sales 2.Project cost of goods sold and gross profit margins using historical averages as a percent of sales 3.Project SG&A expenses using historical averages as a percent of sales 4.Project depreciation expense as an historical average percentage of beginning-of-year depreciable assets 5.Project interest expense as a percent of beginning-of- year interest-bearing debt using existing rates if fixed and projected rates if variable 6.Project tax expense as an average of historical tax expense to pre-tax income Projected Income Statement

9. 9-9 The Projection Process Steps: 1.Project current assets other than cash, using projected sales or cost of goods sold and appropriate turnover ratios as described below. 2.Project PP&E increases with capital expenditures estimate derived from historical trends or information obtained in the MD&A section of the annual report. 3.Project current liabilities other than debt, using projected sales or cost of goods sold and appropriate turnover ratios as described below 4.Obtain current maturities of long-term debt from the long-term debt footnote. 5.Assume other short-term indebtedness is unchanged from prior year balance unless they have exhibited noticeable trends. (continued) Projected Balance Sheet

10. 9-10 The Projection Process Steps: 6.Assume initial long-term debt balance is equal to the prior period long-term debt less current maturities from Step 4. 7.Assume other long-term obligations are equal to the prior year’s balance unless they have exhibited noticeable trends. 8.Assume initial estimate of common stock is equal to the prior year’s balance 9.Assume retained earnings are equal to the prior year’s balance plus (minus) net profit (loss) and less expected dividends. 10.Assume other equity accounts are equal to the prior year’s balance unless they have exhibited noticeable trends.

14. 9-14 The Projection Process If the estimated cash balance is much higher or lower, further adjustments can be made to: 1.invest excess cash in marketable securities 2.reduce long-term debt and/or equity proportionately so as to keep the degree of financial leverage consistent with prior years.

17. 9-17 Application of Prospective Analysis in the Residual Income Valuation Model The residual income valuation model defines equity value at time t as the sum of current book value and the present value of all future expected residual income: where BV t is book value at the end of period t, RI t + n is residual income in period t + n, and k is cost of capital (see Chapter 1). Residual income at time t is defined as comprehensive net income minus a charge on beginning book value, that is, RI t = NI t - (k x BV t - 1 ). The residual income valuation model defines equity value at time t as the sum of current book value and the present value of all future expected residual income: where BV t is book value at the end of period t, RI t + n is residual income in period t + n, and k is cost of capital (see Chapter 1). Residual income at time t is defined as comprehensive net income minus a charge on beginning book value, that is, RI t = NI t - (k x BV t - 1 ).

18. 9-18 Application of Prospective Analysis in the Residual Income Valuation Model In its simplest form, we can perform a valuation by projecting the following parameters: -Sales growth. -Net profit margin (Net income/Sales). -Net working capital turnover (Sales/Net WC). -Fixed-asset turnover (Sales/Fixed assets). -Financial leverage (Operating assets/Equity). -Cost of equity capital In its simplest form, we can perform a valuation by projecting the following parameters: -Sales growth. -Net profit margin (Net income/Sales). -Net working capital turnover (Sales/Net WC). -Fixed-asset turnover (Sales/Fixed assets). -Financial leverage (Operating assets/Equity). -Cost of equity capital

20. 9-20 Trends in Value Drivers The Residual Income valuation model defines residual income as: RI t = NI t – (k X BV t-1 ) = (ROE t – k) X BV t-1 Where ROE = NI/BV t-1 - Stock price is only impacted so long as ROE ≠ k - Shareholder value is created so long as ROE > k - ROE is a value driver as are its components - Net Profit Margin - Asset Turnover - Financial leverage Two relevant observations: - ROEs tend to revert to a long-run equilibrium. - The reversion is incomplete.
