Earnings Based Valuations Dr. Mangold California State University, East Bay
Dividend capitalization model: P0 = One of these dividends is the expected liquidating dividend: P0 =
Cash Flows to the Firm: P0 = When expected leveraged free cash flows are projected to remain constant into perpetuity: P0 = When expected free cash flows are projected to grow at a constant rate equal to g: P0 = Expected Cash Flowt=1 *
Expected Earnings: Substitute a firm’s expected earnings for its expected leveraged free cash flows in the formulation of market price: P0 = Firm’s earnings constant: P0 = Firm’s earnings to grow at a constant rate g: P0 = Expected Earningst=1 *
Actual Earnings: Substitute actual earnings of the most recent period for expected permanent earnings: P0 = Steady growth rate g: P0 = Actual Earningst-1 *
Market Price = PV of Future Dividends to Shareholders ↓ = PV of Future Leveraged Free Cash Flows of the Firm ↓ = Capitalized Value of Future Earnings of the Firm ↓ = Capitalized Value of Current Earnings of the Firm
Theoretical Model (P/E ratios): No Growth Firm:
Example 1: No growth Earnings = 700 Cost of Equity Capital = 0.14 PE Ratio = 1/0.14 = = 7.14 P = 700x (1/0.14) = 5000
Example 2 Earnings = 700 Cost of Equity Capital = 0.14 g = 0.05 PE Ratio =(1+0.05)/(0.14-0.05) = 11.67 P = 700*11.67 = $8,167
Example 3 Earnings = 700 Cost of Equity Capital = 0.14 g= 0.06 PE Ratio = (1+0.06)/(0.14-0.06) = 13.25 P = 700*13.25 = $9,275
Let’s now apply the theoretical P-E Model (growth version) to Coke. Market Price per Share (Dec. 31, Year 7) $52.63 Earnings per Share (Year 7) $1.40 Market Beta 0.97 Cost of Equity Capital 12.8%* Five-year Compound Annual Growth Rate in Earnings 16.7% Risk-free Interest Rate 6.0% Market Risk Premium 7.0% [*12.8% = 6.0% +0.97(7%)] Solution P-E ratio = 37.6 = $52.63/$1.40 Cost of Equity Capital = 19.8% when the Growth Rate in Earnings is 16.7% ∵37.6 = 1.167/(x – 0.167) ∴x = 0.198 Implied Growth Rate in Earnings = 9.9% ∵37.6 = (1 + g)/(0.128 – g) ∴g = 0.099
The difference between Actual P/E and Theoretical P/E: Actual < Theoretical Buy or Sell Actual > Theoretical Buy or Sell 1. Actual earnings of the current period is a poor predictor of expected earnings. 2. Impact of accounting principles: Industry - Use conservative accounting principles -Technology – expense R&D -LIFO -Lower earnings -Higher P/E ratios
P/E ratios: • Risk. • Growth. • Difference between current and expected future (permanent) earnings. • Alternative accounting principles.
Price to Book value Ratios: P0 = P0 =
In Equilibrium, ROCE = r, P = BV, P/BV = 1 P0 = BV0 +
If firm can generate excess returns forever, n → ∞ infinity,
P-BV Ratio • A function of • The expected level of profitability relative to the required rate of return • Growth in the book value of common shareholders’ equity • Growth in book value is a function of • Earnings generated each period in excess of dividends paid plus additional capital contributions by shareholders
Example Earnings = 700 Cost of Equity Capital = 0.14 t0 = $4,375 Expected ROCEt=1 = 16% = 700/4,375 Assume ROCEt=2 = 15% and thereafter is 14%, then P0 = $4,375 + (0.16-0.14)(4,375)/(1.14)1 + (0.15-0.14)* (4,375+700)/(1.14)2 = $4,375 + $76.75 + $39.05 = $4,490.80 The P-BV Ratio at t0 = P0/BV0 =1 + (76.75+39.05)/4,375 = 1+ 0.0265 = 1.0265
Market Value of Shareholders’ Equity on Dec. 31, Year 7 (in millions) $130,575 Book Value of Shareholders’ Equity on Dec. 31, Year 7 (in millions) $6,156 Cost of Equity Capital 12.8%* ROCE for Year 7 60.5% Dividends as a Percentage of Net Income 35.7% Coke Example:
Assume that Coke is expected to generate an ROCE of 60.5% for five years, and then the ROCE reverts to 12.8%. The P-BV ratio is calculated as follows: = 1 + [(2603 + 3206 + 3947 + 4861 +5989)/ 6156 = 4.437
Shareholders’ Equity grows each year by the amount of earnings and decreases by the amount of dividends. For example, the calculation of shareholders’ equity at the end of Year 8 is as follows: Shareholders’ Equity, Dec 31 Year 7 $6,156 Net Income for Year 8: 0.605 × $6,156 3,724 Less Dividends: 0.357 × $3,724 (1,329) Shareholders Equity, Dec 31 Year 8 $8,551 The actual P-BV ratio = 21.2 = $130,575/$6,156
Differences between Actual and Theoretical Levels of P-BV ratios • Errors in estimating the level or sustainability of ROCE • Errors in measuring the cost of equity capital • Errors in measuring the growth in common shareholders’ equity • Using an actual ROCE that includes transitory earnings • Using an actual ROCE that incorporates biases caused by alternative accounting principles
Using P/E ratios and P/BV ratios of Comparable Firms: • Analysts can use • P-E and P-BV ratios of comparable firms • to assess the corresponding ratios of publicly traded firms.
Valuation Approaches: 1. PV of projected cash flows. 2. a). Price – earnings ratios using theoretical models. b). Multiples for comparable companies. 3. a). P-BV ratios using theoretical models. b). Multiples for comparable companies.
