The Analysis of Profitability Chapter 11
We began by identifying a role for the residual income model in valuation Recall: We identified the central role of ROCE in valuation Since: We reformatted the Income Statement to draw attention to the components of Comprehensive Income (the numerator) We reformatted the Balance Sheet to draw attention to the components of CSE (the denominator) We recognized that the component of earnings which adds value is OI and the assets used to generate that value are NOA The focus now is on the driversof operating income
The Focus: Accounting-Based Valuation • The task is to determine premiums over book value (or equivalently, the P/B ratio) • What will future ROCE (residual earnings) be? • Point of departure: Current ROCE and growth • How will future ROCE and growth be different from current ROCE?
An analyst’s competitive advantage lies in one or more of these steps Steps in Fundamental Analysis 1. Specify the future payoffs to be forecasted 2. Identify information that forecasts payoffs Within financial statements Outside of financial statements 3. Prepare forecasts (pro forma analysis) 4. Determine the cost of capital 5. Infer price from pro forma analysis: combine pro forma with cost of capital
Forecasting and the Analysis of Current Profitability 1. Future ROCE (residual earnings) is the forecast target 2. Establish the present: Analysis of profitability Determine the current profitability (ROCE) and the factors that influence the profitability 3. Determine transition from present to future: Projecting future profitability Determine factors that influence future profitability and describe how the future will be different from the present These correspond to steps 2 and 3 of fundamental analysis The reformulation of the balance sheet and income statement has put them into a form to carry out step 2 and to use them to forecast the future in step 3

Cutting to the Core: ROCE Drivers ROCE is decomposed into drivers over three levels of analysis: • Effects of Leverage • Analysis of Operating Profitability • Analysis of Net Borrowing Costs
Chapter 11 Page 339 Box 11.1 First-Level Breakdown: Analysis of Effects of Financial Leverage (FLEV) So, ROCE is a weighted return to operating activities and financing activities: or, RNOA = OI (After tax) / NOA (Return on Net Operating Assets) FLEV = NFO / CSE (Financial Leverage) NBC = NFE (after tax) / NFO (Net Borrowing Cost) SPREAD = RNOA – NBC (Operating Spread) Spread
Chapter 11 Page 340 Figure 11.2 How Financial Leverage Explains the Difference Between ROCE and RNOA
Chapter 11 Page 341 Box 11.2 Financial Leverage:General Mills, Inc. General Mills, a large manufacturer of packaged foods, has had considerable stock repurchases over the years. At the end of fiscal 1998 common shareholder equity was only $190.2 million on net operating assets of $2.251 billion. Its financial leverage was a huge 5.745, based on average balance sheet amounts. The firm’s ROCE for 1998 was 121.6%. Further analysis reveals that this very high number is driven by the high leverage: ROCE = RNOA + [FLEV x (RNOA NBC)] 121.6% = 21.6% + [5.745 x (21.6% 4.2%)] ROCE can exaggerate underlying operational profitability: RNOA is 21.6% but the high financial leverage, combined with a SPREAD over a borrowing cost of 4.2%, yields a much higher ROCE. Beware of firms boasting high ROCE: is it driven by financial leverage? A What-If Question: What if the RNOA at General Mills fell to 3%? What would be the effect on ROCE? The answer is that the ROCE would fall to -3.9%: -3.9% = 3.0% + [5.745 x (3.0% 4.2%)] The unfavorable leverage would produce a negative ROCE on a positive RNOA.
Chapter 11 Page 342 Box 11.3 Financial Leverage: Microsoft, Corp. Microsoft Corp has been very profitable. For fiscal 1998 the firm reported an ROCE of 36.3% on average common equity of $13.702 billion. But Microsoft had no financing debt other than $980 million of convertible preferred stock. And it had considerable financial assets of $11.447 billion from cash generated from its operations. The return on average net financial assets was 8.0% (a significant portion from unrealized gains on financial assets). The reported ROCE masks the profitability of operations: The RNOA of 179.4% is weighted down by return on financing activities in the overall ROCE. A What-If Question: Microsoft has regular stock repurchases. In fiscal 1998 the company used $2.796 billion of its financial assets to repurchase stock. What would the ROCE have been had it not undertaken the stock repurchase? The answer: With $2.796 billion more in average financial assets and common equity, the NFA to CSE ratio would have been 0.863 rather than 0.835, and the ROCE would have been: 31.5% = 179.4% [0.863 x (179.4% 8.0%)] Stock repurchases (and dividends) increase ROCE.
Chapter 11 Page 342 The Effects of Operating Liability Leverage (OLLEV) Operating liabilities lever the Return on Net Operating Assets What would be the operating profitability without operating liabilities? where Implicit Interest on Operating Liabilities = Short-term Borrowing Rate x Operating Liabilities The Effect of OLLEV: where RNOA = ROOA + (OLLEV x OLSPREAD)
Chapter 11 Page 344 Box 11.4 Operating Liability Leverage: General Mills, Inc. General Mills had average net operating assets of $2.310 billion during fiscal 1998 of which $1.159 billion were in operating liabilities other than deferred taxes and pension liabilities. Thus its operating liability leverage ratio was 0.50. Its borrowing rate on its short-term notes payable was 5.4%, or 3.4% after tax. It reported operating income of $499.6 million, but applying the after-tax short-term borrowing rate to operating liabilities other than deferred tax and pension liabilities, this operating income includes implicit after-tax interest charges of $39.4 million. So, The effect of operating liability leverage is favorable: A What-If Question: What-if suppliers were to charge the short-term borrowing rate of 5.4% explicitly for the credit in accounts payable. What would be the effect on ROCE? The answer: Probably no effect. The interest would be an additional expense. But, to stay competitive, the supplier would have to reduce prices of goods sold to the firm by a corresponding amount so that the total price charged (in implicit plus explicit interest) remains the same. But supplier markets may not work as efficiently as this supposes, so firms can exploit operating liability leverage.
