  1. TOPIC: EVALUATING FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Objectives: • Determine how THE firm has performed over time and relative to other firms. • Explore methods to improve financial performance. • Establish the starting point for making financial projections. RW Melicher IBanking 2013

  2. i. Financial models and Ratios • Financial Models consist of two or more interacting ratios • Financial models allow the simultaneous examination of two or more financial dimensions (e.g., profitability, asset utilization, financial leverage, etc.) • Financial ratios provide the basis for conducting comparable companies valuation analysis

  3. A. RETURN ON ASSETS MODEL Operating Performance is Composed of: • Profit Margin (PM) = Net Profit/Net Sales • Asset Turnover or Utilization (ATO) = Net Sales/Total Assets • Return on Assets (ROA) Financial Model = PM x ATO • ROA = net profit/net sales x net sales/total assets = Net Profit/Total Assets

  4. B. RETURN ON EQUITY MODEL Return on Equity (ROE) Financial Model = • Profit Margin (PM) x • Asset Turnover (ATO) x • Equity Multiplier (EM) [where EM = Total Assets/Common Equity] Roe = net income/net sales X net sales/total assets x net Income/Common equity, or net income/common equity

  5. C. conducting RATIO ANALYSIS Types of Financial Ratios: • Liquidity • Profit Margin • Asset Turnover (Utilization) • Financial Leverage 5. Profitability (returns) 6. Market Value-Based

  6. MARKET VALUE-BASED RATIOS: • Market-to-Book Value Ratio: (stock price x number of shares outstanding)/(book value of common equity) • Price-Earnings (P/E) Multiple: Stock price/earnings per share (EPS) • PEG Ratio: (Price/Earnings multiple)/(earnings growth forecast) [Note: Market Value is also referred to as the Market Capitalization Value or Market “Cap”]

  7. d. Methods for improving financial performance • Operations restructuring: improve gross profit and/or operating profit margins • Asset Restructuring: Improve utilization of current assets (working capital) and/or fixed assets • Financial Restructuring: Lower cost of financing through: an efficient mix of debt and equity funds, and cost of capital timing opportunities

  8. II. Additional financial analysis tools • Interpreting the Statement of cash flows • Examining Common size financial statements • Managing the cash conversion cycle

  9. a. statement of cash flows Analysis • Three areas: 1. cash flow from Operating activities 2. cash flow from Investing activities 3. cash flow from Financing activities • Net Cash Burn versus Net Cash Build: sum of operating and investing activities—if negative, cash burn occurred, and if positive, cash build occurred

  10. b. Common-Sized Statement Analysis • Common Size Income Statements: Each item is expressed as a percentage of net sales • Common Size Balance Sheets: Each item is expressed as a percentage of total assets

  11. c. Managing Investment in Working Capital Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC): 1. Inventory Conversion Period (ICP) 2. Receivables Collection Period (RCP) 3. Payables Deferral Period (PDP) 4. CCC = ICP + RCP – PDP [Note: the shorter the cycle the lower the investment in net working capital.] 14

  12. CCC Component Calculations: 1. Inventory Conversion Period: Inventory/(Sales/365) or, inventory/(COGS/365) 2. Receivables Collection Period: Receivables/(sales/365) 3. Payables Deferral Period: Payables/(COGS/365) [Note: cogs = Cost of Goods Sold]
