The Importance of Cash Flow

Financial Statements and Cash Flow

How can we derive cash flowing in and out of firm from

• Income Statement• Balance Sheet• Statement of Cash

Flow

Cash Flow Measures

• Cash flow from assets (also called free cash flow): CF(A)

• Cash flow to creditors: CF(B)

• Cash flow to shareholders: CF(S)

CF(A) = CF(B) + CF(S)

Cash Flow from Assets

Operating Cash Flow - Capex - ΔNWC

= EBIT = gross capex = increases in CA+depreciation - asset sales - increases in CL- current taxes

(Note slight difference from cash flow from operations in accounting statement of cash flow – no interest subtracted from earnings here )

Cash Flow to Investors

Cash Flow from Assets

Cash Flow to Creditors Cash Flow to Shareholders = interest paid = dividends

+ debt repaid + stock repurchased - new L.T. debt issued - new stock issued

time represents average time to collect on A/R

Financial Forecasting

• How can we use facts and assumptions to construct pro forma financial statements and estimate how much cash we will need?

Steps in Financial Forecasting

• Choosing a model driver• Making reasonable assumptions as needed• Using the discipline of accounting definitions

(e.g., balance sheet must balance)• Making the forecast• Interpreting the results• Sensitivity analysis

Possible Model Drivers

1. Sales• Assets are needed to support

sales, so assets must keep pace with sales and increased assets must be financed

2. Financing Policy• Assets (and thus sales) can only

grow as fast as the company’s ability/willingness to finance them

A Simple, Sales-Driven Model

Assumptions:

• Sales will grow by 50% (to 150) in 2007

• Assets/Sales = 2.0• Costs/Sales = 0.90• Net Income/Sales (Net Profit

Margin) = 0.10• Liabilities/Sales = 1.0• Plowback ratio = 0.60

How much new external funding must be provided to support the forecast 2007 sales growth?

• There is a funding shortfall of 41 (A = 300, L&NW = 259)

• This must be made up by:1. Issuing new equity2. Allowing the ratio of

liabilities/sales to rise3. Some combination of (1)

Sustainable Growth Rate

• Growth rate in sales = g (i.e., S1 = (1+g)S0 and ΔS = S1 – S0 = gS0

• At what rate can we grow without issuing new equity or allowing liabilities/sales to increase (e.g., EFN = 0)?
