Return on Enterprise Operations • RNEA = EPAT/avg(NEA) • Rate of return on Net Enterprise Assets
RNEA – Competitors • RNEA of competitors are all over the grid • Amount of resources employed varies • Different growth stages
Enterprise Profit Margin • Profit the firm earns from each sales dollar • Affected by level of enterprise expenses
EPM from Sales • Cannot forecast certain gains/losses from non-operating revenue
Enterprise Asset Turnover • Sales realized from each dollar invested in enterprise assets • How Walmart manages working capital
EPM v EATO • Industry – low capital structure • Higher EATO • Low profit margin
Weak revenue growth in 2010 due to recession • From 2011 on: • Avg. growth of 4.54% • Expect stronger growth in the future from emerging markets
Parsimonious Forecast Assumptions • Sales Growth: 4.95% first two years • 6.5% last three years • Higher revenue growth from growing markets • Canada &Emerging markets (Brazil, China, India, etc.) • EPM: 5.2% • Avg. is 5.23% • As competition rises, lower profit margins
Assumptions (cont.) • EATO: fluctuates during the years • 3.75 – first two years • Increased investing in new markets • 4.00 – last three years • Increase return on its earlier investments
Forecasts • Ambitious, yet reasonable forecast • Based on company trends, less on comparable companies
