Importance of Financial Statements Supplement our qualitative judgments about a company Predict future financial performance Calculate what we believe is the firm’s fair value
Financial Statements What are the three financial statements? • Income Statement • Balance Sheet • Statement of Cash Flows Where do we find them? • Yahoo/ Google/ Morningstar • http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml • Company’s investor relations webpage Which is the most important? • All of them are useful for analysis 10-k, 10-Q
A Bare-bones Income Statement “topline” “bottom line”
Revenue, Cost of Goods Sold, Gross Profit Revenue – money generated from sales of products and/or services within a given time frame COGS – cost of materials directly related to goods/services sold Gross Profit– profit directly related to producing the good/service Gross margins: Gross profit/Revenue
Operating Expenses & Operating Income Gross Profit OpEx – Indirect costs of operating the business Operating Income –profit received from company’s core operations Operating margins: Operating Profit/Revenue
Interest, Taxes, Net Income Operating Income Interest Payments – interest on company debt Taxes – Tax rate * (Income Before Taxes) Net Income – “earnings”, how much total profit a company makes Net Margins: Net Income/Revenue
Fixed vs. Variable Cost Costs Variable Cost Fixed Cost Production
Operating Leverage Op. Income Revenue % of costs as fixed 50% 0% • Total expenses increase at a rate less than that of revenue • Occurs when there are fixed costs in the business • The greater the % of costs as fixed costs, the greater the operating leverage
Understanding Gross Profit A B How do these two businesses differ from one another? Company A has 16% GMs, Company B has 81% GMs
Understanding Gross Profit Certain types of businesses have far lower gross margins than others, and it is important to recognize these
Operating costs: The Great Equalizer Ford has 2x the revenue of Pfizer, but 2x less “operating costs”

How to Think about the B/S LIABILITY ASSET What are the two methods for paying for a house? EQUITY
Therefore… ASSETS = LIABILITIES + EQUITY The “balance sheet equation”
Assets Cash and Cash Equiv. Receivables– IOUs from customers Inventory – goods that have been produced but not sold PP&E– capital goods used to make products
Liabilities Accounts Payable– IOUs to suppliers Long-term Debt – debt to be paid off in more than a year (bonds)
Equity Additional paid-in capital– total value of all issued stock Retained earnings – the sum of all the earnings of the business since day 1
What’s the point? • The balance sheet is useful to investors in two ways: • How efficiently the company is using its capital • Solvency of the company (whether or not it’ll be able to pay back debt Return on Assets: Net Earnings / Total Assets • An indicator for how efficiently the firm uses its assets • Generally the higher the better • Why do airlines have lower ROAs than biotechnology companies? Debt/EBITDA • A higher D/EBITDA means more aggressive financing and is different for every industry • Companies with significant debt usually trade at a discount to companies with less debt
One Type of Business What do you notice on this balance sheet? $20 Billion in PP&E!
One Type of Business The Venetian is “necessary capital” for Las Vegas Sands to provide its product
Another Type of Business What do you notice on this balance sheet?
Another Type of Business “NIKE, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the design, development, marketing, and sale of athletic footwear, apparel, equipment, and accessories”
What happens when the company makes money? • ↓ LT-Liabilities by 100k • ↓ Cash by 100k Pay back $100k debt Cash flow from financing Assume the company makes $1MM earnings in 2013 (all cash) Distribute $200k to Shareholders • ↓ cash by $200k Cash Flow from investing Reinvest rest in co • ↑ cash by $1MM • Capital expenditures • Keep cash on balance sheet Remaining cash flow
Statement of Cash Flows • From Operating Activities • See appendix for detailed explanation From Investing Activities • From Financing Activities • Dividends • Debt paydowns
Why does Cash Flow matter? • As investors, we are entitled to the assets of the company and cash is the most liquid asset • Not all of a company’s earnings are in cash • Chronically negative cash flow could result in increased leverage or eventual default What’s the problem here?
“Cash Rules Everything Around Me”-Wu Tang Clan • Not all financial statements are created equal • IS tells us the earnings and costs of doing business • BS tells us the financial health of the company • CS tells us how much CASH is coming in every year and ties together the two • Cash is what investors want the most (cash = value) • High income doesn’t necessarily = High cash flow • The cash flow statement tells us how much value the company is generating Investors Lenders
Non-Cash Items and Adjustments • Non-cash items are line items included in earnings but don’t represent cash inflows or outflows for the company. • Expenses (additions to earnings): • Depreciation and Amortization – Accounting method for recognizing capitalized expenses over time (non-cash) • Change in Accounts Payable – IOUs to suppliers (didn’t spend the cash) • Revenue (deduction from earnings): • Change in Accounts Receivable – IOUs from customers (didn’t give you cash) But you did spend cash on something else… Capital expenditures Capex is not recognized on the income statement, but is a major use of cash
Free Cash Flow Free Cash Flow: cash the company generates in a given year to pay off lenders and give value to investors Proxy for FCF: • EBITDA (EBIT + D&A) The Equation… Free Cash Flow = Operating Cash Flow – Capex Strong free cash flow is a good indicator of a firm’s value
The Beauty of the Statements CS BS IS Change in Cash Net Income (becomes retained earnings) NWC, Issued Debt Net Income, D&A
