Paul Kerin
2. 2 Assessing company performance
3. 3 Typical profit & loss statement Total Revenue [i.e. sales]
(Operating Expenses)
EBIT [also referred to as operating profit]
(Interest Expense)
Profit Before Tax [also referred to as PBT]
(Tax Expense)
Profit After Tax [also referred to as PAT or net proft]
4. 4 Typical balance sheet Current Assets
Cash
Accounts Receivable
Inventory
Etc
Fixed Assets
Property, Plant & Equipment
Goodwill
Etc
Total Assets
Current Liabilities
Accounts Payable
Accrued Liabilities (eg wages pay)
Short-term Debt
Etc
Long-term Liabilities
Long-term Debt
Provisions (eg, deferred taxes)
Etc
Equity
Paid-in capital
Retained earnings
Etc
Total Liabilities & Equity
5. 5 Alternative Measures Preferred measure:
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC=RONA=ROFE)
EBIT / (LTL+E) or
EBIT/(FA+NWC)
Other measures:
Return on Assets (ROA or ROTA)
EBIT / Total Assets
Return on Equity (ROE or ROSF)
PAT / Equity
EBIT Margin (operating profit margin)
EBIT / Total Revenue
6. 6 Why ROIC? Better than ROA:
IC = TA CL
CL are working, non-interest-bearing liabilities which help reduce invested capital
Makes a difference on average, CL = 27% of TA (ASX 2000)
Supermarket example
Better than ROE
In understanding inherent industry attractiveness and in comparing the performance of different companies separates out operating performance from financing decisions
Leveraging up can raise ROE for any given ROIC
Better than EBIT margin:
ROIC = EBIT margin / net asset turnover
Net asset turnover varies enormously between and within industries
Supermarket example
7. 7 Ultimately these measures are all related ...
8. 8 Gearing magnifies profits (and losses) and changesthe ROE (but also risk) for any given ROIC
9. 9 EBIT margins and asset intensity varies dramatically between industries
10. 10 Assessing what is an acceptable (or excellent) ROIC depends on a number of factors Which industry? (eg, consumer goods vs steel or airlines)
Which country? (eg, Japan)
Which time period? (eg, 1980s vs 1930s, one year vs multi-year, inflation)
Etc
