Spirit Airlines: Financial Statement Reformulation Module 2 Carl Brinker January 22, 2014
Spirit Airlines: Brief Company Background • “Ultra-Low Cost” Passenger Airline Company • 2-star rating • Services USA and Latin America • IPO – June 1, 2011 • (Dec. 31 year end) • $1 billion revenue, $190 million net income
Net Enterprise Assets Financing LiabilitiesCommon Shareholder Equity
Net Enterprise Assets • In general, no major issues determining Enterprise Assets or Liabilities • Used 2% of sales for cash E.A. • Restricted cash: what is it? • Credit card companies require Spirit to have cash-on-hand for pre-booked flights • Ended post-IPO
Net Financing Liabilities • No financial liabilities • post-IPO • Used proceeds to • pay off debts • Mandatorily redeemable • preferred stock • Related to IPO?
Enterprise Profit After TaxFinancing Expense After TaxComprehensive Income
Tax Shield Calculation • Issue: what tax rate should be used? • Notes to Financial Statements give no marginal rate • Rate given: 37.90% (effective tax rate) • Concluded that this rate was appropriate • Federal rate (35%) plus state tax of approx 2% = 37% • This is close to 37.90%; I will use Spirit’s ETR for this calculation
Enterprise Profit After Tax • No major issues • Special charges merit • future investigation
Summary of Issues • Large negative tax provision • Interferes with trend analysis? • Restricted cash • Enterprise asset or financial asset? • Mandatorily redeemed preferred stock • Needs special consideration? • Marginal tax rate assumption • Appropriate assumption? • “Special charges” • What do they relate to?
