  • 1. Working With Financial Statements Chapter Three

2. Chapter Outline

  • Cash Flow and Financial Statements: A Closer Look
  • Standardized Financial Statements
  • Ratio Analysis
  • The Du Pont Identity
  • Using Financial Statement Information

3. Cash Flow and Financial Statements: A Closer Look

  • Sources and Uses of Cash
  • SOURCES: Activities that bring in cash
      • selling assets, borrowing money or selling securities.
      • USES: Activities that involve cash outflows
      • buying assets, paying off debt, repurchasing stock or paying dividends.

4. Mechanical Rules for determining Sources and Uses:

  • Sources: Decrease in asset account Increase in liabilities or equity account
  • Uses: Increase in asset account Decrease in liabilities or equity account

5. The Statement of Cash Flows

  • Group cash flows into one of three categories:
    • operating activities
    • investing activities
    • financing activities.
  • Note:some considerable simplification in chapter especially with respect to treatment of gains and losses

6. Operating Activities

  • + Net Income
  • + Depreciation
  • + Decrease in current asset accounts (except cash)
  • + Increase in current liability accounts (except notes payable)
  • Increase in current asset accounts (except cash)
  • Decrease in current liability accounts (except notes payable)

7. Investing Activities

  • + Ending net fixed assets
  • -Beginning net fixed assets
  • + Depreciation

8. Financing Activities

  • +/- change in notes payable
  • +/- change in longterm debt
  • +/- change in common stock
  • Dividends

9. Putting it all together:

  • +/- Net cash flow from operating activities
  • +/- Fixed asset acquisition
  • +/- Net cash flow from financing activities
  • =Net increase (decrease) in cash over the period

10. Standardized Financial Statements:

  • Allow users to
    • Compare companies of different sizes
    • Compare a company as it grows through time.
  • CommonSize Statements: Useful in comparison of firms of unequal size.
    • Common-Size Balance Sheet express each account as a percent of total assets
    • Common-Size Income Statement express each item as a percent of sales
  • CommonBase Year Financial Statements: Trend Analysis
    • Select a base year, then express each item or account as a percent of the baseyear value of that item
    • Useful for picking up trends through time.

11. Combined Common-Size and Base-Year Analysis

  • Express each item in base year as a percent of either total assets or sales.
  • Then, compare each subsequent year's commonsize percent to the baseyear percent
  • Abstracts from the growth in assets and sales.

12. Ratio Analysis

  • Considerations
  • Categories

13. Things to consider with financial ratios:

  • What aspects of the firm are we attempting to analyze?
  • What information goes into computing a particular ratio and how does that information relate to the aspect of the firm being analyzed?
  • What is the unit of measurement (times, days, percent)?
  • What are the benchmarks used for comparison? What makes a ratio "good" or "bad?

14. Categories of Financial Ratios:

  • Solvency
  • Asset Management
  • Profitability
  • Market Measures

15. Solvency

  • Shortterm Solvency, or Liquidity:ability to pay bills in the short-run
    • Current Ratio= current assets / current liabilities
    • Quick Ratio= (current assets inventory) / current liabilities
    • Cash Ratio= cash / current liabilities

16. Solvency (continued)

  • LongTerm Solvency: ability to meet long-term obligations
    • Total debt ratio= (total assets total equity) / total assets
      • Variations:
        • Debt/equity ratio = (total assets total equity) / total equity
        • Equity multiplier = 1 + debt/equity ratio
    • Times interest earned ratio= EBIT / interest
    • Cash coverage ratio= (EBIT +depreciation) / interest

17. Asset Management, or Turnover, Measures: efficiency of asset use

  • Inventory turnover= cost of goods sold / inventory
  • Days' sales in inventory= 365 days / inventory turnover
  • Receivables turnover= sales / accounts receivable
  • Days' sales in receivables= 365 days / receivables turnover
    • Ratio also called"average collection period" or "days' sales outstanding
  • Total asset turnover= sales / total assets

18. Profitability Measures

  • Note
    • These measures are based on book values, so they are not comparable with returns that you see on publicly traded assets.
  • General Form:Net Income / Some Base
  • Profit margin= net income / sales
  • Return on assets= net income / total assets
  • Return on equity= net income / total equity

19. Market Value Measures

  • How the market values the firm relative to the book values
  • Priceearnings ratio= price per share / earnings per share
  • Markettobook ratio= market value per share / book value per share

20. The DuPont Identity

  • Provides a way to breakdown ROE and investigate what areas of the firm need improvement.

21. DuPont Formulas

  • ROE = (NI / total equity)
  • Multiply by one:(assets / assets) & Rearrange
  • ROE = (NI / assets) (assets / total equity)
  • Multiply by one: (sales / sales) & rearrange
  • ROE = (NI / sales) (sales / assets) (assets / total equity)
  • ROE = profit margin x total asset turnover x equity multiplier

22. Interpretation

  • Three ratios indicate that a firm's return on equity depends
    • its operating efficiency (profit margin)
    • its asset use efficiency (total asset turnover)
    • its financial leverage (equity multiplier).

23. Using Financial Statement Information

  • Why
  • Benchmarks
  • Problems/Limitations

24. Why Evaluate Financial Statements

  • Internal Uses evaluate performance, look for trouble spots, generate projections
  • External Uses making credit decisions, evaluating competitors, assessing acquisitions

25. Choosing a Benchmark

  • TimeTrend Analysis look for significant changes from one period to the next
  • Peer Group Analysis
    • Compare to other companies in the same industry
    • Use SIC or NAICS codes to determine the industry comparison figures

26. Problems with Financial Statement Analysis

  • Lack of Theory: No underlying financial theory
  • Finding comparable firms
  • What to do with conglomerates, multidivisional firms
  • Differences in accounting practices
  • Differences in capital structure
  • Seasonal variations, onetime events

27. 28. Sources and Uses

  • Sources
    • Cash inflow occurs when we sell something
    • Decrease in asset account ( Sample B/S )
      • Cash & equivalents is the only source
    • Increase in liability or equity account
      • Everything except accounts payable is a source
  • Uses
    • Cash outflow occurs when we buy something
    • Increase in asset account
      • Everything except cash & equivalents is a use
    • Decrease in liability or equity account
      • Accounts payable is the only use

29. Statement of Cash Flows

  • Statement that summarizes the sources and uses of cash
  • Changes divided into three major categories
    • Operating Activity includes net income and changes in most current accounts
    • Investment Activity includes changes in fixed assets
    • Financing Activity includes changes in notes payable, long-term debt and equity accounts as well as dividends

30. Sample Statement of Cash Flows Numbers in thousands 3,170* -3,319 227,301 -395,521 -36,159 517,764 141,217 *Difference due to rounding of dividends Cash End of Year Net Decrease in Cash Net Cash from Financing Dividends Paid Decrease in C/S Increase in LT Debt Increase in Notes Payable Financing Activity -957,007 Net Cash from Investments -957,007 Fixed Asset Acquisition Investment Activity 726,387 Net Cash from Operations -26,934 Decrease in A/P -82,150 Increase in Other CA -93,692 Increase in Inventory -46,127 Less: Increase in A/R 141,049 Increase in Other CL 362,325 Plus: Depreciation 471,916 Net Income Operating Activity 6,489 Cash, beginning of year 31. Standardized Financial Statements

  • Common-Size Balance Sheets
    • Compute all accounts as a percent of total assets
  • Common-Size Income Statements
    • Compute all line items as a percent of sales
  • Standardized statements make it easier to compare financial information, particularly as the company grows
  • They are also useful for comparing companies of different sizes, particularly within the same industry

32. Ratio Analysis

  • Ratios also allow for better comparison through time or between companies
  • As we look at each ratio, ask yourself what the ratio is trying to measure and why is that information important
  • Ratios are used both internally and externally

33. Categories of Financial Ratios

  • Short-term solvency or liquidity ratios
  • Long-term solvency or financial leverage ratios
  • Asset management or turnover ratios
  • Profitability ratios
  • Market value ratios

34. Computing Liquidity Ratios

  • Current Ratio = CA / CL
    • 1,801,690 / 1,780,785 = 1.01 times
  • Quick Ratio = (CA Inventory) / CL
    • (1,801,690 314,454) / 1,780,785 = .835 times
  • Cash Ratio = Cash / CL
    • 3,171 / 1,780,785 = .002 times

35. Computing Long-term Solvency Ratios

  • Total Debt Ratio = (TA TE) / TA
    • (4,931,444 1,761,044) / 4,931,444 = .6429 times or 64.29%
    • The firm finances a little over 64% of its assets with debt.
  • Debt/Equity = TD / TE
    • (4,931,444 1,761,044) / 1, 761,044 = 1.800 times
  • Equity Multiplier = TA / TE = 1 + D/E
    • 1 + 1.800 = 2.800

36. Computing Coverage Ratios

  • Times Interest Earned = EBIT / Interest
    • 820,183 / 52,841 = 15.5 times
  • Cash Coverage = (EBIT + Depreciation) / Interest
    • (820,183 + 362,325) / 52,841 = 22.38 times

37. Computing Inventory Ratios

  • Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Inventory
    • 1,762,721 / 388,947 = 4.53 times
  • Days Sales in Inventory = 365 / Inventory Turnover
    • 365 / 4.53 = 81 days

38. Computing Receivables Ratios

  • Receivables Turnover = Sales / Accounts Receivable
    • 4,335,491 / 1,095,118 = 3.96 times
  • Days Sales in Receivables = 365 / Receivables Turnover
    • 365 / 3.96 = 92 days

39. Computing Total Asset Turnover

  • Total Asset Turnover = Sales / Total Assets
    • 4,335,491 / 4,931,444 = .88 times
  • Measure of asset use efficiency
  • Not unusual for TAT < 1, especially if a firm has a large amount of fixed assets

40. Computing Profitability Measures

  • Profit Margin = Net Income / Sales
    • 471,916 / 4,335,491 = .1088 times or 10.88%
  • Return on Assets (ROA) = Net Income / Total Assets
    • 471,916 / 4,931,444 = . 0957 times or 9.57%
  • Return on Equity (ROE) = Net Income / Total Equity
    • 471,916 / 1,761,044 = .2680 times or 26.8%

41. Computing Market Value Measures

  • Market Price = $60.98 per share
  • Shares outstanding = 205,838,910
  • PE Ratio = Price per share / Earnings per share
    • 60.98 / 2.41 = 25.3 times
  • Market-to-book ratio = market value per share / book value per share
    • 60.98 / (1,761,044,000 / 205,838,910) = 7.1 times

42. Deriving the Du Pont Identity

  • ROE = NI / TE
  • Multiply by 1 and then rearrange
    • ROE = (NI / TE) (TA / TA)
    • ROE = (NI / TA) (TA / TE) = ROA * EM
  • Multiply by 1 again and then rearrange
    • ROE = (NI / TA) (TA / TE) (Sales / Sales)
    • ROE = (NI / Sales) (Sales / TA) (TA / TE)
    • ROE = PM * TAT * EM

43. Using the Du Pont Identity

  • ROE = PM * TAT * EM
    • Profit margin is a measure of the firms operating efficiency how well does it control costs
    • Total asset turnover is a measure of the firms asset use efficiency how well does it manage its assets
    • Equity multiplier is a measure of the firms financial leverage

44. Why Evaluate Financial Statements?

  • Internal uses
    • Performance evaluation compensation and comparison between divisions
    • Planning for the future guide in estimating future cash flows
  • External uses
    • Creditors
    • Suppliers
    • Customers
    • Stockholders

45. Benchmarking

  • Ratios are not very helpful by themselves; they need to be compared to something
  • Time-Trend Analysis
    • Used to see how the firms performance is changing through time
    • Internal and external uses
  • Peer Group Analysis
    • Compare to similar companies or within industries
    • SIC and NAICS codes

46. Real World Example - I

  • Ratios are figured using financial data from the 1999 Annual Report for Ethan Allen
  • Compare the ratios to the industry ratios in Table 3.9 in the book
  • Ethan Allens fiscal year end is June 30.
  • Be sure to note how the ratios are computed in the table so that you can compute comparable numbers.
  • Ethan Allan sales = $762 MM

47. Real World Example - II

  • Liquidity ratios
    • Current ratio = 2.433x; Industry = 1.4x
    • Quick ratio = .763x; Industry = .6x
  • Long-term solvency ratio
    • Debt/Equity ratio (Debt / Worth) = .371x; Industry = 1.9x.
  • Coverage ratio
    • Times Interest Earned = 70.6x; Industry = 3.4x

48. Real World Example - III

  • Asset management ratios:
    • Inventory turnover = 2.8x; Industry = 3.6x
    • Receivables turnover = 22.2x (16 days); Industry = 17.7x (21 days)
    • Total asset turnover = 1.6x; Industry = 2.2x
  • Profitability ratios
    • Profit margin before taxes = 17.4%; Industry = 3.1%
    • ROA (profit before taxes / total assets) = 27.6%; Industry = 5.8%
    • ROE = (profit before taxes / tangible net worth) = 37.9%; Industry = 17.6%

49. Potential Problems

  • There is no underlying theory, so there is no way to know which ratios are most relevant
  • Benchmarking is difficult for diversified firms
  • Globalization and international competition makes comparison more difficult because of differences in accounting regulations
  • Varying accounting procedures, i.e. FIFO vs. LIFO
  • Different fiscal years
  • Extraordinary events

50. Work the Web Example

  • The Internet makes ratio analysis much easier than it has been in the past
  • Click on the web surfer to go to Multex Investor
    • Choose a company and enter its ticker symbol
    • Click on comparison and see what information is available
