CHAPTER 19 Financial Statement Analysis
Financial statement analysis can be used to discover mispriced securities. Financial accounting data are widely available, but Accounting earnings and economic earnings are not always the same thing! Financial Statement Analysis 2
Income Statement: Profitability over time Balance Sheet: Financial condition at a point in time Statement of Cash Flows: Tracks the cash implications of transactions. Financial Statements 3

Accounting Versus Economic Earnings • Economic earnings • Sustainable cash flow that can be paid to stockholders without impairing productive capacity of the firm • Accounting earnings • Affected by conventions regarding the valuation of assets 7
Profitability Measures ROE measures profitability for contributors of equity capital. After-tax profit/book value of equity ROA measures profitability for all contributors of capital. EBIT/total assets 8
Past vs. Future ROE ROE is a key determinant of earnings growth. Past profitability does not guarantee future profitability. Security values are based on future profits. Expectations of future dividends determine today’s stock value. 9
Financial Leverage and ROE ROE can differ from ROA because of leverage. Leverage makes ROE more volatile. Let t=tax rate and r=interest rate, then: 10
Financial Leverage and ROE If there is no debt or ROA = r, ROE will simply equal ROA(1 - t). If ROA > r, the firm earns more than it pays out to creditors and ROE increases. If ROA < r, ROE will decline as a function of the debt-to-equity ratio. 11
Decomposition of ROEDuPont Method EBIT Sales Sales Assets Assets Equity Net Profit Pretax Profit Pretax Profit EBIT ROE = x x x (1) x (2) x (3) x (4) x (5) Tax Burden Interest Burden x x Margin x Turnover x Leverage x 13
Decomposition of ROE ROA=EBIT/Sales X Sales/Assets = margin X turnover • Margin and turnover are unaffected by leverage. • ROA reflects soundness of firm’s operations, regardless of how they are financed. 14
Decomposition of ROE ROE=Tax burden X ROA X Compound leverage factor • Tax burden is not affected by leverage. • Compound leverage factor= Interest burden X Leverage 15

Choosing a Benchmark Compare the company’s ratios across time. Compare ratios of firms in the same industry. Cross-industry comparisons can be misleading. 17

Economic Value Added EVA is the difference between return on assets (ROA) and the opportunity cost of capital (k), multiplied by the capital invested in the firm. EVA is also called residual income If ROA > k, value is added to the firm. 25
Example 19.4 Wal-Mart • In 2009, Wal-Mart’s cost of capital was 5.9%. Its ROA was 9.6% and its capital base was $115 billion. • Wal-Mart’s EVA = (0.096-0.059) x $115 billion = $4.25 billion 26
Accounting Differences Inventory Valuation Depreciation Inflation and Interest Expense Fair Value Accounting Quality of Earnings International Accounting Conventions Comparability Problems 27
International Accounting Differences Reserves – many other countries allow more flexibility in use of reserves Depreciation – US allows separate tax and reporting presentations Intangibles – treatment varies widely 28

The Graham Technique • Rules for stock selection: • Purchase common stocks at less than their working-capital value. • Give no weight to plant or other fixed assets. • Deduct all liabilities in full from assets. 30
