Value creation in Telcos G.Alagarsamy Pr.CCA Tamil Nadu Circle
Of the five business deadly sins, the first and easily the most common is the worship of high profit margins. Peter F . Drucker
Value Questions • Is OR wholesome performance metric? • Is profit positive cash positive? • Is return positive value positive?
Value Creation • ROCE high • Is it necessarily value creating?
Dynamic Of Performance Metric Time sophistication Measures of PM VBM:Returns, growth, .WACC,FCF CFROI Returns, growth, WACC, EVA/MVA Single period Returns, growth, earnings Ignores WACC ROE,ROCE,RONA Return Ignores growth
EVA-Definition • EVA = Net operating profit after tax(NOPAT)- Capital charge = EBIT(1-T)- WACC* CE where WACC : weighted average cost of capital CE : Capital employed =(ROCE-WACC)* CE
EVA- Definition • EVA is not a percentage return metric- a measure of surplus value –residual income of a business in absolute terms • It is closest to the NPV of a project in capital budgeting • NPV = ΣEVA/(1+Kc)^t
Accounting Profit Vs Economic Profit • EBIT xxx less interest on loan xxx • Pre-tax profit xxx less tax @ xxx • PAT xxx • Add interest on loan xxx • PAT but before interest xxx (NOPAT) less Capital Charge (WACC on CE) xxx Economic value added xxx
Cost of Equity- CAPM Approach RE = RF + β*(RM-RF) Where RE : Expected rate of return from equity RF : Risk free rate of return RM : Expected rate of return from market portfolio RM-RF : Market Risk Premium β : A measure of systematic risk
Cost of Equity-CAPM Approach RISK Total risk Unsystematic risk Systematic risk NO of securities in portfolio
Cost of Equity- CAPM Approach • β = Covariance of stock returns with market returns / variance of market portfolio. • A company’s β is the company’s risk compared to the risk of market portfolio. The more a stock moves up and down with the market, the more non-diversifiable risk it has. • β of market portfolio is ‘1’ • If a stock has a β of ‘2’, it is 2 times more risky than market portfolio. If the β of the stock is 0.5, it is less risky than market portfolio by 0.5 times
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) Risk premium Expected return 1 2 0.5 Systematic risk (beta)
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) WACC= (E/D+E)*Ke + (D/D+E)*Kd(1-T) where E= market value of equity D= Book value of debt Ke=Nominal cost of equity Kd=Nominal cost of debt T = Tax rate
EVA Adjustments • Economic capital= Shareholders equity+ goodwill written off+ Capitalised cumulative unusual loss+ deferred tax+ minority interests+ Total debt • NOPAT=Operating profit+ interest expense-unusual gain-taxes

Working Capital Leverage • Sensitivity of ROI to change in the level of current assets • WCL = CA/(TA-ΔCA) in case of decrease in current assets • =CA/(TA+ΔCA) in case of increase in current assets where CA= Gross CA, FA=Net fixed assets, ΔCA=Change in the level of current assets • ROI will increase /decrease by WCL depending on decrease/increase of current assets
How to achieve EVA >0? • Tighten working capital management- Use techniques like supply chain management, e-procurement etc in a big way
