Relationship Between Financial Model And Strategy


Financial modeling aims to mimic the actual business operation as close as possible. Business operation is guided by strategy. Strategy planning helps to identify opportunities & risk and develops plan of actions to deal with the opportunities & risks Plan of actions cover the business model design and redesign, changes in marketing strategy, product strategy, pricing strategy, human capital strategy, production, logistics, etc. All the actions will lead to reallocation of company resource or even quest additional resources externally. As a consequence, they will affect the business financially. Financial model quantifies the effect by translate as truthfully as possible the actual business into a simplified model with changeable inputs and delivers the forecasted output to the users. Based on the output of financial models, management can have a quantitative understanding of the impact on the business that a specific strategy plan/action would have

Comparison Of Major Valuation Methods


There There is is no no single single method method is is better better than than others others and and each each is is more more appropriate appropriate for for specific specific situations situations Most Most frequently, frequently, combination combination of of 3 3 methods methods will will be be used used to to cross cross check check and and narrow narrow the the valuation valuation range. range.

Valuation methods
Trading comparable method

Description
Analyze the trading multiples and operation situation of comparable public companies to arrive at a range of trading multiples for the target company The valuation does not factor in value of controlling premium

Pros and Cons


Pros: very market oriented can easily put pieces together to value company with multiple industrial operations Cons constrained by availability of comparable public companies Pros: very market oriented Cons constrained by availability of comparable historical transaction Valuation multiples might differ from time to time due to market cycle, etc. Pros: less relied on third party data Cons not suitable for start-ups or distressed companies very sensitive to the forecasts and assumption

Transaction comparable method

Analyze comparable historical merger & acquisition transactions to arrive at a range of transaction multiples for the target company The valuation does factor in value of controlling premium

Discounted cash flow method

Forecast the future cash flows and terminal value, discount them by appropriate discounts rates, to arrive at valuation result of target company. More complex, but has most sound theoretical foundation

Trading Comparable Method

Generally, there is always some comparable companies listed on stock exchange. The trading stock prices are good indicators of how the market/investors value such companies within the same industry/segment. Using trading multiple ratios of such companies, we can estimate the value of a target company as if it were listed For non-public company, the convention is to apply a discount rate of 20-30% off listing company trading valuations. Moreover, the larger the target company, the smaller the discount rate. The discount is roughly a reflection of liquidity risk.

General steps of application of trading comparable method Select appropriate comparable listed companies Select appropriate multiples Estimate the target company value

Trading Comparable Analysis


Step 1. Select a comparable industry, as close as possible Different industries are traded at different multiples (investors view them differently) Step 2. Shortlist the comparable companies within that industry Product Scale (Revenue, gross profit, net profit, production) Geographic region Profitability (gross margin, net margin) Efficiency (turnover ratio), etc. Step 3. Select multiples and range of multiples TO COMPARE! Which multiples are meaningful when comparing How is the operation of target company compared with the short listed comparable companies? Better or worse? How much better/worse? Why? It is sustainable? How different is the target companys business from each comparable company? How much would the different impact on the valuations? How is the capital structure of the target company compared with its peers? Etc.

Transaction Comparable Method

Selecting appropriate historical M&A transactions is crucial to the valuation result Industry, business and financial performance of the comparing companies shall be as similar as possible Transaction consideration shall be close to intended transaction of the target company It very difficult to gather transaction information of non-public companies, public news might be the one available information source. Some considerations when using transaction comparable method Strategic buyer and financial buyer might offer different premium/discount Other non-valuation factors might affect the transaction value (negotiation power, government influence/policy, sellers true intention of exit, etc.) Timing when different transaction happens (internet bubble, distressed assets during financial crisis, etc.)

Accrual Accounting* And Its Effect On Fixed Assets Depreciation

Accrual, basically means adding something, or the thing that is added. In accounting & finance, the adding together of interest or different investments over a period of time, or the gathering or clustering of things. It implies a gradual accumulating action/effect. Example Accrued revenue: revenue is recognized before cash is received. Accrued revenue (or accrued assets) is an asset, such as unpaid proceeds from a delivery of goods or services, at which such income item is earned and the related revenue item is recognized, while cash for them is to be received in a later period, when its amount is deducted from accrued revenues. Accrued expense: Expense is recognized before cash is paid out. Accrued expense is a liability with an uncertain timing or amount, but where the uncertainty is not significant enough to qualify it as a provision. An example is an unpaid obligation to pay for goods or services received from a counterpart, while cash for them is to be paid out in a latter accounting period when its amount is deducted from accrued expenses. Fixed assets depreciation: Cash is paid out at the time of purchasing in one payment generally, but the cost is not expensed right away in the income statement because the equipment or factory building we bought will be used for many years. Therefore, on the income statement, only portion of the total cash payment (original value) is deducted every year (we call the deduction depreciation) and on the balance sheet, the depreciation portion is deducted from the original value every year afterwards. Effect on the cash flow statement: as the cash out flow is at the beginning of purchase, the depreciation in the later years is not cash out flow, instead, its a non-cash out flow appeared in the income statement.
Note: Accrual accounting,

Importance Of Cash Flow

Cash flow is more important than net profit in valuation, as it can lead to more accurate result by taking the following factors into consideration (which net profit fails to capture by definition): Working capital requirement (working capital = inventory + account receivables + other current assets payables - other current liabilities) Time (time value of money) Moreover, cash flow can, to some extent, narrow the gap due to different accounting principles adopted by various companies However, cash flow does not capture the depreciation/amortization, accrued () expense deferred () expense, etc., it cannot truthfully reflect the profitability of a company The cash flow here is still not the free cash flow we are going to discuss later

Time Value Of Money And The Concept Of Discounting

Money has time value: a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow. Reason: Money in hand can be invested to value generation activities, hence by the end of tomorrow, it will be more than the amount we have today. Therefore, the money we are going to receive tomorrow has to be discounted by applying a rate (such as bank lending rate, etc.) to reach its valuation of today. The process is called cash flow discounting. When value a firm, we can not simply add up all the cash flows which are forecasted to generate in the future, but discount those cash flows to be received at different future time spots to a specific date, say today, then sum up the discounted amounts.

Financial Modeling Workshop Dec, 2009

Simple Example Of Discounting Cash Flow (DCF)

Assuming company A is expected to generate a stream of cash flows, 1 million, 1.1 million, 1.2 million, 1.3 million, 1.4 million in the next 5 years, by discounting using a discount rate of 15% per year, the future cash flows valuation is calculated below

Flow Of Free Cash Flows


Cash pool

Working capital investment

The cash pool holds cash received from various sources, such as cash sales, collection of account receivables, advance from customers, borrowing from banks, issuance of equity, etc. The cash is used to pay suppliers, to make fixed assets purchasing, pay expenses and tax, etc.
Net new borrowing

Net Capex

The cash in the cash pool is different from net income. As net income contains effect of many noncash items, it has to be adjusted to get the free cash flow. Free cash flow to firm is the cash flow to both equity holder and bank, as one single entity. As the money borrowed from banks is already in the cash pool, it shall not be included in the cash flow generated for the entity. In other words, the borrowed money is like the money that is taken from your right pocket (debt holder) and put into your left pocket (equity holder). (You = the firm) Free cash flow to equity, however, is all the money that is put into your left pocket. Therefore, the net borrowing is counted, the after tax interest payment is excluded (these 2 cash flows are inter-pocket cash flows).

Cost Of Equity
Cost of equity can be calculated by using Capital Assets Pricing Model (CAPM): Cost of equity = risk free interest rate + beta x (market return risk free interest rate) Definitions risk free interest rate: long term Chinese government bond yield Market return risk free interest rate, is also called market premium. Market return, in practice, we use long term stock market compounded annual return. Market premium reflect the premium investors require to compensate for the extra risks they take when investing in stock market instead of buying government bonds. Beta: the relative volatility of specific stock price changes to the overall market return (example on next slide). It changes over time due to the business nature of the company changes and investors preservation changes. Levered beta and un-levered beta: as most public companies observed in the stock market borrows money, hence their betas are levered. We need to translate those levered beta into unlevered. The formula is as follow (in which, D=debt, E=equity, T=tax rate, Pref.=preferred stock, Mino.=minority interest) Unlevered Levered beta = beta 1+ (D/E)(1-T)+(Mino+Pref.)/E Again, use comparable analysis to select the most appropriate betas for the target company IMC practice: IMC has its own required return on equity for our investments, 16%?20%?30%? But when we sell any stake in our investment, we shall use market required return on equity/investment to value our business.

Weighted Average Cost Of Capital (WACC)


The discount rate used to discount free cash flow to firm is WACC, or Weighted Average Cost of Capital, is calculated as =cost of equity x equity ratio + (1- tax rate) x cost of debt x debt ratio Definitions Cost of equity: expected or required rate of return of equity investments Equity: equity market value (in practice we use book value instead of market value, as the market value is what we are forecasted here and would cause iteration calculation) Equity ratio: equity value /(equity value + debt value) Debt ratio: 1- equity ratio Debt value: debt market value (in practice we use book value, as using debt market value would imply forecasting long term interest rate, adding 1 more uncertainty factor) Cost of debt: interest rate charged on the book value of the debt (there might be different rates on loans borrowed from different banks and bonds issued to different creditors) Tax rate: effective enterprise income tax rate (the interest payment is deducted before income tax at company level) Due to the fact that capital structure (debt ratio and equity ratio) changes over time, different WACC shall be applied to discount FCFF of each year. In the long term, the company might pay back most of interest bearing debt, or maintain certain level of leverage (by assumption or industrial average level).

Terminal Value Calculation

Terminal value: discounting cash flow method presumes the target company will continue operation into perpetuity. In our practice, our forecast period cannot extend to perpetuity. Therefore, we have to using simplified method to calculate value of cash flows generated beyond our forecasted period. The total value of cash flow generated after the forecasted period is call terminal value. Valuation of terminal value: there are 2 methods, perpetuity growth model and exiting multiple model Perpetuity growth model: assuming the cash flow grow at a fixed growth rate into perpetuity. Such a stream of cash flow can be summed up using a formula below (in which, g = perpetuity growth rate, r = discount rate)
TV = FCF x (1+g) (r - g)

Exiting multiples model: assuming the company is sold at the end of forecasting period, use multiples of EBITDA (for firm value) or net income (for equity value) to estimate the value. This approach is more market oriented, however, the defect is that it use current market valuation multiples to value the target in several years later (underlying assumption: the market valuation multiples changes little over time)

Definitions For Key Deal Evaluation Terms


Cash on Cash Payback Number of years for undiscounted yearly Free Cash Flows to fully recover cost of capital expenditure (in the case of a project) or investment (in the case of investment in an investee company) on an ungeared basis (ie. no debt). Number of years for undiscounted yearly Free Cash Flows to fully recover equity portion of capital expenditure (in the case of project) or investment (in the case of investment in an investee company) on a geared basis (ie. with debt). Net cash after tax (based on project specific tax rates) from operation less total capital expenditure (in the case of a project); or total receipts from the investment less total amount invested (in the case of an investee company). Net cash after interest and tax (based on project specific interest and tax rates) from operation less equity portion of capital expenditure and debt repayments (in the case of a project); or total receipts from the investment less equity invested and interest & debt repayments (in the case of an investee company). Internal Rate of Return from yearly Free Cash Flows or net investment receipts on an ungeared basis. Internal Rate of Return from yearly Free Cash Flows or net investment receipts on a geared basis. Yearly Free Cash Flows (ungeared) discounted to Year 0, using discount rate of 8%, 12%, 16% plus one considered appropriate by project team. Yearly Free Cash Flows (geared) discounted to Year 0. Value of asset upon divestment, end of project, or end of projections. [Kindly state the basis (e.g. sale value, replacement value, net
book value, earnings/EBITDA multiple etc) in the assumptions. Please state the value if projections are 5 years or less]

Additional terms There are more than one way to interpret the concepts below 1. ROE: Net income during the investment period divided by equity investment at the period beginning (or the maximum amount the shareholders put into the company/project) 2. ROI: Net income during the investment period divided by the total investment at the period beginning (or the maximum amount both shareholders/bonder holders and banks put into the company/project)

Generating Balance Sheet


Remember, we have forecasted income (=Revenue COGS expenses taxes) in the income statements, we can use those items and major operation assumption to drive the balance sheet forecast. Current assets and current liabilities are items that caused by operating activities, such as procurement, credit sales, short term borrowing, etc. Items are forecasted by using inventory turnover days, account receivable turnover days, account payable turnover days 1. Inventory = COGS (excl. D&A) x inventory turnover days / 365 days 2. Account receivable = Revenue x account receivable turnover days / 365 days 3. Account Payable = COGS (excl. D&A) x account payable turnover days /365 days 4. Other account receivables/payables: use different assumption according to business nature of these items, could be inter-company lending, payable to construction contractors The assumption of turnover days shall be consistent with target company historical operation data and industrial average. Due to tighten credit policy and better/worse inventory control, these assumptions might change over time. Model shall reflect the trend in our assumptions.

Generate Cash Flow Statement Indirect Method


Method Method Based on the accounting principle, cash flow statement can be generated by using last year & current year balance sheet, and income statement Step 1. Start from net income from income statement Step 2. Add back depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash cost items (such as bad accounts provision, capitalized expenses, etc.) Step 3. Deduct increase in current assets (excl. cash), add increase in current liabilities. The 2 actions in net, deduct the working capital investment Step 4. Deduct capex Step 5. Add net funds from equity/bonds raise and net new bank borrowing Step 6. Add year BGN cash to get year END cash balance.

General Modeling Methods And Skills Linking Everything Together


Income statement
Starting from income statements, net income = Revenue COGS expenses - taxes 1. Interest income = saving rate x average of cash balance of year BGN and END 2. Interest expense 2 items 1) Interest expense of loan = interest rate x loan balance at year BGN; 2) Interest expense of necessary to finance = interest rate x average of necessary to finance at year BGN and END 3. necessary to finance a transition item used to balance the balance sheet, basically is of shortterm financing in nature and shall be zero after the balance sheet is balanced 4. Necessary to finance (its included in current liability in the B/S, not included in C/F, but as a calculation outcome of C/F), defined as shortage (if any) of cash balance compared with minimum cash requirements.

Linking Everything Together (Cont)


Balance sheet & cash flow statement forecasts and Iteration
Secondly, use the forecasted ratio and various schedules to complete the balance sheet, with cash balance to be linked with cash flow statements The link causes circular calculation Solution: under Excel spreadsheet tool bar, choose Tools tick Iteration enter 100 (shall be enough) Options Calculation tab

Finally, cash flow statement (slightly different from what you commonly see). Start from net income, adjusted for non-cash gain/loss, such as D&A, gain/loss on assets, etc. Adjust for working capital changes, such as AR, inventory, AP, tax payable, etc. Adjust for financing cash flows (borrowings & pay back, and equity injection) and investment cash flows (Capex) Arrives at cash balance at year end (or year beginning of next year), which will be linked to B/S

Rationale:

To replace lost capacity from fire accident on Warehouse 1 at Wellgro in May 2008 To maximize insurance claim amount ($3.7m vs. $1.4m if no rebuild). Construction needs to be started within 1 year of fire accident

To re-build at Km23 instead of Wellgrow in order to consolidate operation in one location, leverage on Km23s more strategic location and potentially release value from future sales of Wellgrow assets

Investment Paper Supports Assumptions Used In The Model


Aim: To identify the driver & risks of business, and quantify analysis to help management to make decision
1. Macro Environment

GIC IP Industrial profile
1.Macro Environment 2.Industry Market Environment 3.Product Market

Analyze the macro economy (most probably need to cover global economy and trade policies/trend) to identify variables that affect an industrys sales How do these variables affect the sales? by how much? Quantify it (for example, household disposable income vs. residential real estate investment) What is the expectation of future change of these variables?

2.

Industry Market Environment


Demand forecast (major downstream and end customer demand analysis and forecast, quantity growth assumption in the model shall be based on this forecast) Supply forecast (major upstream industry analysis. Capacity adding forecast. If oversupplied, price will go down/at least not go up in our financial model assumption, vice versa) Competition (Major competitors, their strategy and business model, market shares, industrial profitability. If the market structure is stable, if the model assumes to grab share from them/grow faster than them, sales expense could be higher than their/industrial average level)
