Module 4: Simple Analysis and Parsimonious Forecasting The Ford Motor Company By: Paula Casini
Ford Motor Company • Automotive Sector – sale of vehicles, service parts and accessories • Ford North America • Ford South America • Ford Europe • Ford Asia Pacific Africa • Financial Services Sector • Ford Motor Credit Company – vehicle related financing, leasing and insurance • Other Financial Services – holding companies and real estate
Return on Enterprise Operations • RNEA = EPAT / avg (NEA) • Combination of low EPAT and high avg NEA
Breaking Apart RNEA • RNEA = EPM * EATO • EPM = EPAT / Sales • EATO = Sales / avg (NEA)
Parsimonious Revenues • Ford’s sales growth consistently declining • Average over last three years = 4.40% • Industry expected growth rate 2.4% • Analysts predict only small increase in sales for 2014 and 2015 • Growth Assumption = 2.25% (inflation)
Parsimonious EPM (from sales) • Ford’s EPM from total EPAT was 3%, 11% and 1% in 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively • Average EPM for automotive industry is 6% • EPAT very volatile, sales only expected to grow at the rate of inflation • Assumption = 6.5%
Parsimonious EATO • Stable EATO • Assumption = 1.7
Parsimonious Assumptions • Sales Growth = 2.25%
Parsimonious Assumptions • Sales Growth Rate = 2.25% • EPM = 6.5%
Parsimonious Assumptions • Sales Growth Rate = 2.25% • EPM = 6.5% • EATO = 1.7
