Break down RNEA Enterprise Profit Margin (EPM) Enterprise Asset Turnover (EATO) Measure of profitability: How much operating profit does the firm earn from each sales dollar? Measure of efficiency: What level of sales does the firm realize from each dollar invested in enterprise assets?
Valuation using cash flows • FCF = EPAT - ∆NEA • Discount rate 10% • Enterprise Value = 133,895
Cost of capital & valuation General Motors
Regression Data • 60 months of S&P historical data • 39 months of GM historical data • Bankruptcy • MTLQQ • Used to find Cost of Equity Capital (CAPM)
“Government motors” • June 2009: filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy • July 2009: emerged from bankruptcy with ownership split between: • US Federal Government • United Auto Workers Association • Canadian Government • GM bondholders • November 2010: GM shares returned to the NYSE at $33 per share
Regression Results • Coefficient: 1.73 • 95% confidence interval: 1.04-2.41
Beta estimates • Bloomberg Adjusted Beta 1.303 • Other Beta Estimates • Yahoo Finance 1.76 • Nasdaq 1.2 • Google Finance 1.73 • MSN Money 1.76 • Morningstar 1.76 • Firstrade 1.76 • ADVFN 1.70 • Calculated Beta 1.73 • Selected Beta 1.73
Cost of equity • Capital Asset Pricing Model: • Assumptions: • Beta = 1.73 • rMkT = 8% • 5 return +3% premium • Intercept and standard error found in regression • rEqt = 19.72% • Using equation from slide 13: rEq = rrf + [β*(rMkt – rrf)] • Assumptions: • Beta = 1.73 • rMkT = 8% • rrf = 3.68% (from Bloomberg) • rEqt = 11.15% Cost of Equity from Bloomberg = 12.6%
Cost of debt capital • Pretax borrowing rate proxied by: • Interest Expense Average amount of interest bearing debt • rD = 489/16,050*(1-.37) = 1.9% • Alternative calculation: • FEAT NFL • rD = 1,622/(5,419) = (29.9%) Cost of Debt from Bloomberg = 1.9%
Cost of enterprise capital • rEnt = (rD * VD/VEnt) + (rEq * VEq/VEnt) • For GM: • VD = (5,419) NFL • VEq = 52,482 Market cap • Implied VEnt = 47,063 • Calculated WACC = 13.83%
Valuing GM • Estimate of Enterprise Cost of Capital = 10.1%
