The Goal of Financial Management


Value-based management drives our performance targets and incentives. We have set ambitious short and medium-term financial and operating targets and, to help meet these, have aligned the interests of management and employees with those of our shareholders and customers. Our incentive systems are linked to key aspects of shareholder value, such as margins and asset productivity. Our strategic focus is centred on profitable growth, better margins through innovation and higher productivity, improved asset management, and turnarounds in operations whose past performance has not been world class.

First Principles of Creating Shareholder Value


l

Invest in projects that yield a return greater than the minimum acceptable hurdle rate.
u

The hurdle rate should be higher for riskier projects and reflect the financing mix used - owners funds (equity) or borrowed money (debt) Returns on projects should be measured based on cash flows generated and the timing of these cash flows; they should also consider both positive and negative side effects of these projects.

Choose a financing mix that minimizes the hurdle rate and matches the assets being financed. If there are not enough investments that earn the hurdle rate, return the cash to stockholders.
u

The form of returns - dividends and stock buybacks - will depend upon the stockholders characteristics

Minimize unnecessary financial risks.

Objective: Maximize the Value of the Firm


Copyright 2000 Ian H. Giddy

U.S. Capital Markets and the New Economy 31

Overpaying on Takeovers
l

The quickest and perhaps the most decisive way to impoverish stockholders is to overpay on a takeover. The stockholders in acquiring firms do not seem to share the enthusiasm of the managers in these firms. Stock prices of bidding firms decline on the takeover announcements a significant proportion of the time. Many mergers do not work, as evidenced by a number of measures.
u u

The profitability of merged firms relative to their peer groups, does not increase significantly after mergers. An even more damning indictment is that a large number of mergers are reversed within a few years, which is a clear admission that the acquisitions did not work.
