Corporate Finance Lecture 17 INTRODUCTION TO CAPITAL STRUCTURE (continued) Ronald F. Singer FINA 4330 Fall, 2010
The Irrelevance Theorem • Perfect Capital Market Setting • No Taxes • No Contracting Costs • Costs of Financial Distress • Agency Costs • No Information Costs
ASSETS PVA $1,000,000 PVGO 2,000,000 TOTAL $3,000,000 LIABILITIES DEBT 0 EQUITY 3,000,000 TOTAL $3,000,000 Irrelevance Theorem
ASSETS PVA $1,000,000 PVGO 2,000,000 TOTAL $3,000,000 LIABILITIES DEBT 1,600,000 EQUITY 1,400,000 TOTAL $3,000,000 Irrelevance Theorem
The Static Tradeoff Theory • Benefits versus Costs of Leverage. • Benefits Costs Taxes Financial Distress Resolution of Agency Costs Agency Costs Bondholder/Stockholder Manager/Stockholder Bankruptcy Costs Direct and Indirect Information Costs
Tax Implications LIABILITIES DEBT 0 EQUITY 2,100,000 TOTAL $2,100,000 ASSETS PVA $1,000,000 PVGO 2,000,000 - PV of Tax Liability 900,000 TOTAL $2,100,000
Tax Implications (Suppose T = 30%) ASSETS PVA $1,000,000 PVGO 2,000,000 Less: PV of Tax Liability 420,0000 TOTAL $2,580,000 LIABILITIES DEBT 1,600,000 EQUITY 980,000 TOTAL $2,580,000
Originally: $2,100,000 in Equity Interest Now: 980,000 in Equity Interest $1,600,000 in Cash 2,580,000 Total Stockholders’ Wealth increased by 480,000 = the reduction of taxes. Stockholders’ Wealth
Firm Value Assuming Perfect Capital Markets except for Taxes • Notice what happens, the (after tax) FCF increases due to the tax benefit from the interest deduction on debt. In particular, FCF = Before Tax FCF – Tax Tax = T (Earnings) = T (Rev-Exp-Interest) = (Rev-Exp)(T) – (Int)(T) So FCF = FCF(1-T) + Interest(T)
The Tax Benefit • So we can divide the After Tax Free Cash Flow into two separate Cash Flows: • Cash Flow from operations FCF*(1-T) = The Free Cash Flow (after Tax) that would be generated if there were no debt in the capital structure Interest*(T) = The reduction of tax due to the Tax shield on interest.
Example • Suppose that the firm’s cash flows looked as follows: • Revenue $20 million • Cash Expense $10 million • Interest $2 million • Depreciation $3 million • Change in WC 0
Calculation of Unlevered Cash Flow • That is, how much (after tax) would be generated if there were no interest payments • “Net Operating Income” (NOI)= (Rev-Cash Expense – Depreciation) = $7 million Tax @ 30 % = $2.1 million After Tax Operating Cash Flow NOI – Tax + Depreciation $7 - 2.1 + 3 = 7.9 Million
The Interest Tax Shield • Notice we can find the amount of the tax shield by considering how much tax saving there is for each dollar of interest. In particular The Tax Shield = T * Interest = (.3) * 2 million = 0.6 million
PV of Cash Flow: • V = S(Y)(1-T) + ST (Interest) (1+ro)t (1+rB) t = V(u) + PV of Tax Shield
With Taxes V = V(u) Plus Present Value of Tax Shield on Debt. V= V(u) + (Corp. Tax Rate) * Debt In the special case when debt is thought of as perpetual.
Graphically Firm Value (V) V = V(u) + Tc*B V(u) Debt
Cost of Capital rs = ro + (ro -rB)B/S WACC = ro r rB
Cost of Capital (After Tax) rs = ro + (ro-rB)(1-T)B/S r WACC = r0(1-T(D/v)) = rs(S/V) + rB(1-T)(B/V) rB
The two ways of representing firm value V = V (u) + T * BV = SY(1-T)(1+WACC)tWhere,WACC = r0 = rs (S/V) + rB (1-T)(B/V)
Static Tradeoff Theorem • Costs of Financial Distress (“Contracting Costs”) • Potential Bankruptcy Costs • Underinvestment • Risk Shifting • Agency Costs • Assume: • Not Taxes • Risk neutrality • Single period • Interest rate = 0%
Example of Underinvestment ASSETS PVA $1,000,000 PVGO 2,000,000 TOTAL $3,000,000 LIABILITIES DEBT 2,500,000 EQUITY 500,000 TOTAL $3,000,000
Example of Underinvestment ASSETS PVA $1,000,000 PVGO 2,000,000 TOTAL $3,000,000 LIABILITIES DEBT 2,500,000 EQUITY 500,000 TOTAL $3,000,000
Example of Underinvestment ASSETS PVA $1,000,000 (Cash = 600,000) (Real Assets = 400,000) PVGO 2,000,000 TOTAL $3,000,000 LIABILITIES DEBT 2,500,000 EQUITY 500,000 TOTAL $3,000,000
Example of Underinvestment Make a Div Payment rather than invest ASSETS PVA $400,000 (Real Assets = 400,000) PVGO 2,000,000 TOTAL $2,400,000 LIABILITIES DEBT 2,250,000 EQUITY 1 50,000 TOTAL $2,400,000
Risk Shifting • Suppose the firm has value that will look like the following: • Value in Good State = $4,500,000 • Value in Bad State = 1,500,000 • With equal probability • Promised payment to the Bondholder: $3,500,000 What is the value of the equity and the debt?
Investment Opportunity • Invest $1,000,000 to generate: $1,500,000 with probability ½ in good state, 0 otherwise, so that New cash flows are: $5,000,000 in good state 500,000 in bad state: What is the NPV of the project, value of the debt and value of the equity?
Firm Value Costs of Financial Distress V = V(u) + PV of Tax Shield Debt Level Optimal Debt Level
Pecking Order Hypothesis • Costly Information • Conclusion • Firm has an ordering under which they will Finance • First, use internal funds • Next least risky security
Intuition • Suppose that you know your firm is undervalued, and you want to invest in a project: How do you finance it? • Now suppose you believe the firm is overvalued
Pecking Order theory • So you have a dominating way of getting capital • Internal Financing • Risk free debt • Risky debt • Equity In general, the more “debt like” a security is, the more you want to issue it.
So the announcement effect • If the firm announces it intends to issue equity to invest in a project, this is bad news and stock prices will go down. That is the market will ASSUME this is a bad firm. • Therefore the firm will never issue equity if it can avoid it. • Thus pecking order.
