Module 11: adjusting accounting informationCompany: chipotle Matt Ramirez
No adjustment needed • Chipotle already uses FIFO: no adjustment needed/not enough information given in footnote to make any other adjustments
Comments on inventory adjustment • Companies need comparability in their inventory costing methods to determine accurate EPAT and NEA and therefore EPM and EATO: adjusting to FIFO increases this comparability • All companies are required to disclose LIFO adjustment under GAAP, making it possible to adjust to FIFO • Adjustments help gain a better understanding of the industry and its environment due to more accurate comparisons
Addition to nfl *178,289 - (2,082,115 x .0425)

Operating lease adjustment concerns • Virtually no debt = difficulty determining long-term pre-tax interest rate for debt: used credit facility borrowing rate of 4.25% • Incorporating operating leases into NEA & EPAT has significant effect: Net Financial Assets becoming Net Financial Liabilities • Might have significant effect on valuation moving forward
No spe’s • Chipotle does not currently have any SPE’s • The potential benefits of SPE’s (lower cost of debt, better liquidity, mitigation of risks, off-balance sheet transactions, etc.) are not a concern as of now
Continued… • Chipotle’s “Stock Based Compensation” does not included “Employee Stock Options” (ESO’s): No adjustment necessary • The “Incentive Plan” and “SOSARs” are a means of compensating employees with stock, but do not necessarily add excess compensation (exercise price matches fair value) • No ESO’s means that employees do not necessarily “directly” benefit or can create possible future gains
Final comments • Only adjustment: operating leases to “as if” capital leases • Although only this adjustment was made, it will provide a more accurate forecast and valuation going forward • There is now greater comparability to the rest of the industry which will result in a “better picture” of Chipotle’s progress, productivity, and performance compared to other Specialty Eateries
