Ch. 3 Financial Statements, Cash Flows and Taxes

Goals

• To understand financial Statements• To understand how to calculate cash flows• To understand how to measure the

performance• To understand taxes

1. Financial Statement & Reports

• Two types of information in annual reports• 1) Letter describing the operating results

during the past years• 2) 4 Financial Statements: balance sheet,

income statement, statement of retained earnings and statement of cash flows

2. Balance sheet:• A statement of the firm’s financial position

at a specific point in time• It measures asset (what a company own)

and claims on assets ( what it owes)• Items is listed in order of liquidity or the

length of time• Ex) Table 2-1

Asset Liability and EquityCash and equivalents Accounts payable

Short term investments Notes payable

Accounts receivable Accruals

Inventory Total current liabilities

Total current assets Long term bonds

Net plants and equipment Total liabilities

Preferred stock

Common stock

Retained earnings

Total common equity

Total liabilities and equity

Something in B/S: - Liquidity - Debt versus Equity (Source of Financing): Claims in Bankruptcy Financial Distress - Common equity = common stock +

retained earnings

- Market Value versus Book Value Book value explain the current market value? Ex) Good Management or reputation Market value is more concern

- Accounting Rules: Inventory (FIFO & LIFO) – cost of goods sold Depreciation Methods (Accelerated or straight line)

- Net worth = asset - liabilities

3. Income Statement:A statement summarizing the firm’s revenue

and expenses over a periodEx)

Something in I/S - Matching with GAAP: not matching with the actual cash flows - Depreciation and amortization are not actual cash outlay

SalesCost except depreciationEBITDADepreciationEBITLess interestEBTTaxes (40%)Net IncomeDividends to commonAddition to retained earnings

- EBITDA is commonly used among managers, analysts and bank loan officers

- Net cash flow = Net income – noncash revenues+ noncash charge = Net income +depreciation and amortization

3. Statement of retained earnings:A statement reporting how much of the

firm’s earnings were retained in the business rather than paid out in dividends

4. Statement of Cash Flows:A statement reporting the impact of a firm’s

operating, investing and financing activities on cash flows over a period

5. Modifying Accounting data for investors and managerial decisions

• Net operating working capital = operating current asset – operating current

liabilities = (cash + A/R + Inventories) – (A/P + Accruals)• It indicates the level of liquidity in business. • (here, AP and accrued taxes and wages are free

due to no fees. They are not provided by investors)

• Total net operating capital = net operating working capital + operating long term asset (net plant and equipment)

• Change of total net operating capital = net investment in operating capital

• Ex) relationship among working capitals and net income or sales

• - lower increase of sales/net income, compared to higher increase total net operating capital indicates something wrong. Cash management problem? Inventory problem? Why?

2) Operating Cash Flows The cash flow generated through operations

determines the firm’s value. • Operating Cash Flow =EBIT (1- tax rate) +Depreciation and Amortization

• Here, EBIT(1- tax rate) is called NOPAT (net operating profit after taxes). It is a profit that a firm would generate if it has no debt and held only operating assets.

• NOPAT is better performance measurement due to different debts and interest charges

• Comparing changes of NOPAT to those of EPS reveals impact of interests

3) Free cash flow (FCF):• cash flow actually available for distribution to all

investors after investments in fixed assets, new products and working capital necessary to sustain ongoing operations

• It will determine the value of a company’s operations

FCF (free cash flow)=NOPAT – net investment in operating capital=(NOPAT + Depreciation) – (Net investment in operating

capital +Depreciation)= Operating cash flow – Gross investment in operating

capital

How to use FCF?• Pay interest • Repay debt-holders• Pay dividends• Repurchase stock• Buy short term investments or non-operating

assets

• Ex) Negative FCF is Bad? • High growth firms with positive NOPAT and

negative FCF

• However it is a bad sign if FCF was negative because NOPAT is negative.

• One way to measure this issue is ROIC (return on invested capital).

• ROIC = NOPAT / Total net operating capital. If ROIC is greater than WACC, firm is adding value.

• 4) MVA and EVA:• Performance Measurement with stock price

information

• (1) Market value added (MVA):MVA = market value of stock – equity capital supplied

by shareholders= (shares outstanding × stock price) – total

common equity

• The difference between the market value of the firm’s stock and the amount of equity capital investors have supplied

• Based on the belief that maximizing the difference will maximize the stock price

• But it measures the management’s performance during the whole period

• Another MVA = (market value + market value of debt and preferred stock) – Total investor-supplied capital. Here total investor-supplied capital is summation of equity, debt and preferred stock.

(2) Economic value added (EVA):• Value added to shareholders by

management during the given year• EVA• = NOPAT – after-tax dollar cost of capital

used to support operations• = EBIT(1-tax rate)-(Total net operating

capital)(after tax cost of capital)• = (Total net operating capital) × (ROIC –

WACC)

6. Federal Income Tax System• Corporate income is generally taxed by the

federal government at the rate of 15% to 35%, depending taxable incomes. Also most state governments impose income tax on corporations ( typically around 5%). Thus a large firm usually pay around 40%.

• Individuals are taxed by the federal government at the rate of 10% to 35%. Also some states impose state taxes. Pension accounts are not taxed until the money is withdrawn.

• Page 71• Taxable income of $65,000.• Tax amount = 7500 + 0.25*(65000-50000)• =11250• Here 25% is a marginal tax rate.• 11250/65000 is an average tax rate.

• For a business, interest payment is considered as expense and reduce taxable incomes. But for individuals, it is not (exception: home loans).

• Interests earned from state and local government debts are exempt from federal taxes.

• Dividends paid is not tax deductible.• Dividend received by the individuals are taxed

as capital gains. But 70% of dividends received by corporations from others could be deducted in order to minimize triple taxation.

• Tax loss carry-back and carry-forward: Ordinary corporate operating losses can be

carried back to prior 2 years and forward for the next 20 years if necessary. The loss is applied first to the earliest year, then to the next earliest year, and so on, until losses have been used up.

• Improper accumulation to avoid payment of dividends. It is subject to penalty rate.

• S corporation is taxed like a personal taxation.

• Consolidated corporate tax return: if a corporation owns 80% or more of another corporation’ stock, then it can aggregate income and file one consolidated tax return.

• Taxes on Oversea Income: As long as foreign earnings are reinvested oversea, no tax is due. But when repatriated, it is subject for taxation – difference between what is paid in foreign countries and in US.
