Joy Global (JOY) Module 11: Adjusting Accounting Information Thomas Maguire 4/6/2014
Joy Global Background • Manufactures and services mining equipment • Focus on: Coal, Copper, Iron Ore, Oil Sands, and Gold • Revenue split between • Surface Mining Equipment • Underground Mining Machinery
Introduction • In Module 10, we analyzed and included additional sources of info included in footnotes and management’s discussion and analysis • Allowed us to revise and improve our identification of NEA and EPAT • Understanding effects of accounting choices • Reported numbers are the result of a set of accounting methods that were chosen by management • Had another set of accounting methods been chosen by management we would have different numbers • In this module we will look at potential adjustments to address particular accounting methods and valuation relevant issues in regards to these methods
Effects of Accounting Method Choices on Valuation Models • What happens when we make a choice between two different accounting methods? • Shift reported income between two periods– total income is not changed over the total life of the company • We are examining what period the revenues/expenses are reported • Choice of depreciation effect analyzed previously • Method does not affect computed valuation • Accounting method choice will not affect value!
How does this affect our Valuation? • In our previous examples (finite life project) we had known payoffs and a finite life • It appears as if the depreciation method choice had no effect on valuation • However, in an exercise where we are using past accounting data as the basis for forecasting, income shifting or different accounting method choices can convolute our projections • Reduction in comparability or the appurtenance of comparability when it is not there
How does this affect our Valuation? • We may be looking at inappropriate data to forecast enterprise profitability, also affected: • Forecasted sales growth, EPM and EATO because they are based on past sales growth, EPAT, and NEA • Analysis of industry competitors may also be distorted • Want to make sure our projections are as precise as possible!
How does this affect our Valuation? • We now will look at four separate adjustments that may affect realized EPAT and NEA: • Inventory Method • Operating Leases • Special-Purpose Entities • Share-Based Compensation • If these adjustments are not made, there is a lack of comparability and forecasts may be imprecise
Inventory Method • If two companies use different inventory costing methods, we may not be able to accurately compare their reported financial statements • Comparability is especially effected when LIFO is used • Problem is compounded if the companies hold large amounts of inventory in which prices have moved significantly • To compare the companies with different inventory costing methods we need to adjust the LIFO numbers to their FIFO equivalents or vice versa
Inventory Method • A LIFO to FIFO adjustment is not difficult • If the company chooses to use the LIFO method for inventory costing, they must also provide a LIFO adjustment • This amount allows us to calculate the value of inventory as if the company had reported under the FIFO method • This adjustment should be considered even if all the companies being compared report under LIFO method0– LIFO to LIFO not necessarily apples to apples: • The magnitude of the LIFO adjustment relates to how long the company has used LIFO • Rising costs- more recent adopted would have a much higher cost
Inventory Method • Need to adjust the balance sheet and income statement using the company’s disclosure relating to LIFO reserve • Must be a “net of tax” adjustment because the company would be forced to report to the IRS under FIFO had they used FIFO inventory for financial reporting purposes • Creating “as-if” FIFO numbers for the companies • Working to improve our understanding of reported results and in turn improve our forecasts and eventual valuation
Inventory Method: Joy Global • This inventory adjustment does not pertain to Joy Global’s 2013 financial statements: • Footnote 2- Significant Accounting Policies, Inventories: • “Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method for all inventories.” • We would want to make sure that all companies used for industry analysis have been adjusted properly to assure comparability
Operating Leases • Use of operating leases is the most common off-balance sheet financing employed b companies • Financing transaction not on the balance sheet • Neither the liability or the related asset has been recorded • Accounting standards require detailed footnote disclosures of operating leases, however: • Some managers believe keeping the assets and liabilities off the balance sheet improves the market’s perception of performance and financial health • Implies managers believe market is somewhat inefficient • Research shows informed investors adjust balance sheet to include these items
Operating Leases • Lease transactions affect: • Both sides of the balance sheet: • Long-term assets • Long-term liabilities • Income statement • Lease expense buried in SG&A • Two acceptable approaches under GAAP for reporting leases • Capital Lease Method • Operating Lease Method
Operating Leases • Capital Lease Method- lease asset and liability recorded on balance sheet • Lease asset is depreciated like all long-term assets • Reduces EPAT • Lease liability amortized like debt, separated into interest expense and principal repayment • Financing liability • Operating Lease Method- neither the enterprise lease asset nor financing lease liability is reported on balance sheet • Lease payments recorded as rent expense (SG&A)– reduces EPAT of company
Operating Leases • Four financial reporting consequences of operating leases for lessee: • Lease asset not reported on balance sheet • EATO higher because reported NEA is lower and revenues are not affected • Lease liability is not reported on balance sheet • Financial leverage ratios are improved- wouldn’t affect enterprise value calculation but would impact adjustment from enterprise to equity value • Return on NEA is inflated without adjustment • Reported rent expense for operating lease less than depreciation and interest expense for capital lease • Net income higher in early years of lease • EPAT lower because only depreciation expense is an enterprise expense for capital lease
Operating Leases • Use of operating leases varies by industry • Airline industry notorious for use of operating leases • GAAP requires disclosure of expected future payments for leases • Use these disclosures to form better estimates of NEA and EPAT • “As-if” the operating leases had instead been capital leases
Capitalizing Operating Leases • Capitalization of operating leases is a four step process: • Determine the discount rate • Compute the present value of future lease payments • Adjust the balance sheet to include the PV on both asset and liability side • Adjust the income statement to include depreciation and interest instead of rent expense • Capitalization on pre tax interest rate and adjustment to EPAT on an after-tax basis
Capitalizing Operating Leases • Step 1: Determine the discount rate • Three approaches to determine appropriate discount rate • If capital leases are disclosed in addition to operating leases: impute implicit rate of return on those capital leases • Rate that yields the PV computed by the company on the given capital leases • Use the rate that corresponds to the company’s credit rating • Employ the cost of debt capital
Capitalizing Operating Leases • Joy Global Step 1: Determine the discount rate • No capital leases to impute implicit rate of return • No recent borrowings • Last issue was 10/6/2011 • Use rate computed for cost of debt– 4.93% • BBB, so high rate makes sense!
Capitalizing Operating Leases • Joy Global Step 2: Future Lease Payments
Capitalizing Operating Leases Joy Global Step 2: Present Value of Future Lease Payments
Capitalizing Operating Leases • Joy Global Step 3: • Now that we have the PV of the future lease payments, $108.2, we adjust NEA upward by that amount to include this additional asset that is now capitalized • Enterprise liabilities however is not adjusted • This was a choice in financing • Financing liabilities increased by $108.2
Capitalizing Operating Leases • Joy Global Step 4: Adjust income statement to include depreciation and interest instead of rent expense • Operating lease payment included in SG&A in 2013: • $47.9 million • We reverse this amount out of EPAAT • Calculating additional depreciation • Unrecorded obligation of $108.2 would yield interest expense at 4.93% of $5.33
Capitalizing Operating Leases • Payment of $47.9 million removed from SG&A reclassified: • $5.33 Interest Expense • $42.6 Depreciation Expense • After Tax Effect: • Using effective tax rate of 32%, • Net after tax effect is increase to EPAT of $7.04 • 2013 revenue was $5,000
Special-Purpose Entities • Special-Purpose Entities (SPEs) allow companies to structure projects or transactions with a number of financial benefits, have a long rooted history in finance: • Sponsoring companies often form subsidiary capitalized only with equity • Bankruptcy remote entity • If the parent becomes bankrupt, no one has claims to SPEs assets • Not parent or creditors • SPEs often set up to assist in securitization • Subsidiary purchases assets from sponsoring company and sells them to securitization trust– the SPE • SPE purchases assets using borrowed funds
Special-Purpose Entities • Benefits of SPEs: • Direct economic benefits to parent • Speed up receipt of company’s operating cash flows and mitigating risk • Indirect economic benefit to parent- financial reporting benefits and alternatives • Removing assets and corresponding debt from the balance sheet • Improve asset turnover and financial leverage ratio • Most common forms of SPE use: • Asset securitization • Ford motor company example • Real estate financing
Special-Purpose Entities • SPEs must be consolidated by whichever company has the power to direct the activities of the SPE and the right to receive its benefits • SEC registrants, balance sheet and income statement of SPE reported together with the parent • With the previously discussed Ford example, securitization process would be fully reflected in the financial statements • Companies are required to have comprehensive disclosures relating to the magnitude of the assets securitized and effects on access to credit markets
Special-Purpose Entities • Even though these SPEs are fully reflected in financial statements, they provide a lower-cost financing source to companies • Reduce credit risk for lenders • Will continue to be part of the financial reporting process as long as this is the case • If an SPE financing source was in danger of continuing, this would be a serious concern in which a large amount of business was generated through the entity • Another concern would be if credit markets no longer favored SPE structure
Special-Purpose Entities • SPEs do not affect EPAT and NEA • Need to consider: • Cost of debt capital & • Liquidity
Share-Based Compensation • Employee Stock Options (ESOs) are used by companies to compensate employees and better align employee interest with that of the shareholder’s • Attempting to limit principal-agent problem • Companies differing use of ESOs creates a lack of comparability unless an adjustment is made to EPAT and NEA • Consider the case where one company chooses to only ESO compensation and another uses only cash!!!
Share-Based Compensation • ASC 718-10-25-2 applies to stock options granted after 2005: • Requires companies to expense fair value of options at grant date • Recognize equivalent increase in stockholder’s equity (APIC) • Reflecting the transfer of enterprise value to employees- reduction in what is available to other stakeholders • Use of grant date to measure expense omits changes in value of stock9optiosn between the grant and exercise date • Changes in value prior to exercise are additional compensation earned by employee and should be considered
Share-Based Compensation • Use disclosures to estimate the expense between grant date and exercise date • 7 step process to capture ESO liability • Compute the value of options exercisable at beginning of year using beginning of year share price • Compute the value of options exercisable at beginning of year using end of year share price • Estimate the value of ESOs exercised during the current year using an estimate of the average share price over the year
Share-Based Compensation • Estimate the value of ESOs cancelled during the current year using an estimate of the average share price over the year • Compute the value of options exercisable at end of year using end of year share price • Compute an estimate of additional share-based compensation from information computed above • Adjust NFL, CSE, EPAT, and FEAT using information computed above
Share-Based Compensation • In addition to the information below, we need to know the beginning and ending share price: • Beginning: $61.55 • Ending: $58.09
Share-Based Compensation • Joy Global Step 1: Compute the value of options exercisable at beginning of year using beginning of year share price • The beginning share price was $61.55 which is $21.86 greater than the exercise price of $39.69 for the 1,009,916 exercisable options • Beginning ESO overhang of: • $22,076,764 • (61.55-39.69)*1,009,916
Share-Based Compensation • Joy Global Step 2: Compute the value of options exercisable at the beginning of year using end of year share price • The share price at the end of year was $58.09 which is $18.40 greater than the exercise price of $39.69 for the 1,009,916 exercisable options • This yields a value of: • $18,582,454 • (58.09-39.69)*1,009,916
Share-Based Compensation • Joy Global Step 3: Estimate the value of ESOs exercised during the current year using the average share price • The beginning and ending share price yield an average share price of: $59.82 • This average share price is $33.18 greater than the average exercise price of $26.64 for the 160,276 exercised options • This yields an estimated value for exercised options of: • $5,317,958 • ($59.82-$33.18)*160,276
Share-Based Compensation • Joy Global Step 4: Estimate the value of ESOs cancelled during the current year using the average share price • The average share price was $59.82 which is $13.24 less than the average exercise price of $73.06 for the 144,094 cancelled options • This yields an estimated value of: • -$1,907,805 • ($59.82-$73.06)*144,094
Share-Based Compensation • Joy Global Step 5: Compute the value of options exercisable at end of year using end of year share price: • The ending share price was $58.09 which $5.42 is greater than the exercise price of $52.67 for the 1,255,551 exercisable options. • This yields an ending ESO overhang of: • $8,977,190 • (58.09-52.67)*1,255,551
Share-Based Compensation • Joy Global Step 6: Compute estimate of additional share-based compensation from information computed above:
Share-Based Compensation • Joy Global Step 7: Adjust NFL, CSE, EPAT, and FEAT using the information above • Increase NFL by (5): $8,977,190 • Decreases CSE by (5): $8,977,190 • (Increase) decrease EPAT by (6): $(6,195,112) • Increase (decrease) FEAT by (2)-(1)-(3)-(4): $(6,904,462)
Share-Based Compensation • With the adjustments listed above, we are now capturing estimates of compensation owed by the firm as a result of ESOs • Incorporating items that would be excluded under GAAP • Better comparability • Not income shifting as previously discussed but an “ommision”
