Case Study 1
1. Assumptions
This Forecast uses the sales driven approach; assuming, where logical, that accounts have a high
correlation with revenue. When predicting revenue growth I have looked at the revenue driving forces
of each industry sector that Aurizon Holdings Limited (AZJ) operates in as well as AZJs past
performance.
Coal
Although coal exports have declined in recent years analysts are expecting $10,053 million in 2014
up from $8,774 million in 2013. I have assumed the analysts are correct about this extra demand for
coal and the result will be strong growth on coal revenues for AZJ for the 2014 period and the
following periods to slowly revert back to a more sustainable rate. AZJs coal revenue growth will
also come from strong investment and market share growth. They have done well to secure long term
contracts that are expected to provide income until past 2020 and continue to invest their coal network
to take advantage of the expected increase in demand. This strategy has worked in the past as AZJs
revenues have continued to grow while demand (exports) has decreased therefore I made the base
case assumption that coal haulage revenues to grow 11.8%, 8.4% and 5.1% in 2014, 2015 and 2016
respectively.
Freight
Freight revenues have been declining in recent years. There is no mention from management as to
how they will address this issue, economist expectation of only 1.1% increase in rail freight for 2014,
equal to 2013, and an average CAGR of 2.1% for the decade I expect that this sectors revenues will
continue to decline. I forecast -6.4%, -4.9% and -3.8% for 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively.
Network Services
AZJs Network revenues have performed erratically. With the investment in the network and economic
data suggesting that demand is going strengthen, backed up by profit upgrades from Rio Tinto and
BHP Billiton, I believe that there will be growth in AZJs network revenues of 5.9%, 3.7% and 3.2%
in 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively.
Iron Ore
Recent expansion into the iron ore market has provided good revenue for AZJ and has grown rapidly.
This expansion is expected to reach the target of 30mt in 2014, an increase of 5.3mt. There are growth
opportunities in the Pilbara region, although analysts expect it will be difficult to challenge the big
market players in the iron ore industry for this reason I expect growth to continue but at a
substantially slower rate in the future (tonnage forecasts have been used, over growth rates, due to the
previous rapid growth rates being unsustainable and less insightful).
Intersegment adjustment
The intersegment adjustment forecast has been made as average of the adjustments in the previous 3
years and as no pattern has presented itself it is best predicted at this rate in the future.

This combination of macro and internal growth analysis gives a future revenue growth forecast of
5.7%, 4.2% and 3.0% in 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively before adjusting for inflation. The
adjustment for inflation has been made at a 2.5% rate for all years using the expected 2014 rate to be
the best estimate for all years as inflation doesnt fluctuate substantially. This inflation adjustment
also travels through the model as the inflation affected accounts are linked to revenue.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses are assumed to grow as a portion of revenue, adjusting for the following;
Cost savings due to their Integrated Operating Plan of an expected $20m per year.
Reduced redundancy costs as expected voluntary redundancies decline.
Tax
The company is currently not paying the statutory tax but due to lack of information and a long term
expectation for the company to pay the statutory tax rate we have used 30% in our estimates.
Abnormals
The company has announced that it will be incurring 2 impairment expenses;
Pretax $147m in relation to the sale of the locomotive and wagon fleet
Pretax $50m in relation to the failed joint venture with Glencore Xstrata
Receivables and Inventories
I made the assumption that accounts receivable and inventory would expand proportionally to revenue
and that accounts receivable days and inventory days would not substantially deviate from the
average. Therefore an average of the 2011 to 2013 period has been used as an estimate.
Dividends/Retained Earnings
The dividend payout ratio is assumed to stay consistent with 2013 at 65%. AZJs debt is serviceable
and short term capital requirements can be sourced from the unused portion of the debt facility.
Property Plant and Equipment, Depreciation and Capital Expenditure
The information provided by management for planned CAPEX is assumed to be the best estimate.
Depreciation rates as a proportion of PPE have been stable around the mean and therefore the 3 year
average has been the basis for the forecast. One adjustment in PPE for the loss recognized on the
partial sale of the locomotive and wagon fleet. After this PPE is calculated as last years PPE
Depreciation + CAPEX.
The Plug and Non-Current Borrowings
The plug has been used and the deficit placed in overdrafts, in reality this money would come from
the reserves in the long term debt facility as the costs would be significantly cheaper.
Interest Expense
The interest expense has been calculated as 5% (given interest rate) of all current and non-current
borrowings including the amount added with the plug.
Cash and Provision
These accounts were expected to be linked to revenue and therefore increase proportionally.
The unpredictability of the following due to lack of information made either the 3 year average, held
at 0 or no change on previous year the best forecast
Amortisation NCA inventories NCA Investments Investments
Prepaid expenses Intangibles NC Provisions Other NC Liabilities
NCA held for sale Minorities Other current assets

2. Financing Needs
430184880
3

Looking at the overdrafts account you can see an extra $271m is needed in 2014, increasing to $706m
in 2015 before being paid back down to $600m in 2016. The main driver of this is forecasted growth
capital expenditure which is significantly reduced in 2016 and the reason why the overdraft account is
also reduced in 2016. The sale of the locomotive and wagon fleet also provides some relief from
financing in 2014.
The service of this extra funding is within AZJs capacity as they have $3,600 in floating rate bank
facilities. AZJ will require and extra $706m by 2015 bringing their total long term borrowings to
$3,185m, within the $3,600m limit. The excess lending capacity of $415m in 2015 and then a
reduction in borrowings in 2016 should be considered satisfactory for AZJs growth strategy and I see
no need for extra financing to arise or any change in AZJs dividend policy to occur.

3. Important Assumptions
Revenue Growth
The assumptions that have determined the revenue growth are the most important as most accounts
are linked in one way or another to these assumptions. A change in revenue growth by 1% effect
revenue and profitability by approximately $39m and $9m in 2014 respectively, over three years the
effect is approximately $124m and $31m respectively. This effects dividends paid by approximately
$6m per year per percentage point move.
Although many accounts will be effected by changes in revenue growth AZJs financing need is
resilient fluctuations in yearly revenue growth. A 1% change in revenue causes a change in net debt of
approximately $3m per year and $11m over the 3 years.


Payout Ratio
The payout ratio was an important assumption for a company undertaking a growth strategy. The
capital needs of AZJs investments could prove to alter the 65% payout ratio in my forecasts.
A 5% move in the payout ratio causes the net debt to change approximately $30m and a move back to
a 50% payout ratio would improve financial position of AZJ by $66m in 2014 and $269m over the 3
years. This is directly at the expense of dividends paid. The interest expense is reduced by
approximately $3m, $5m and $5m in 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively, totalling $13m.


Tax Rate
The tax rate has fluctuated in AZJs history and was therefore hard to predict, the conservative
assumption of 30%, the statutory rate, could differ and a 1% move would change net debt by
approximately $3m. The company has paid lower tax rates in previous years and reducing the rate to
24% improves the companys net debt by approximately $20m per year. The net profit and therefore
dividends are also significantly affected by the tax rate lowering the rate to 24% would increase AZJs
profit by an average of $51m and dividends would increase by an average of $33m.


4. Operating Ratio

Aurizon Is currently undertaking heavy cost cutting strategies, The Drive to 75 initiative has seen
the company introduce a voluntary redundancy program which has been a great success. They have
reduced the workforce by 2,047 employees since the IPO and the program is expected to be mostly
complete by 2015. The efforts of management have been successful and resulted in a reduction in the
cost operating ratio from 78.4% in 2010 to 66.8% in 2014.
Redundancy costs associated with the redundancy program are expected to be close to fully realised
by 2015 and according to my analysis costs decrease by $64m in 2014 and $28m in 2015. The
Integrated Operating Plan will also provide a cost benefit as the plan to reduce the size of Aurizons
locomotive and wagon fleet is expected to save $20m per annum from 2014 until 2018. Accounting
for these cost savings puts Aurizon ahead of schedule and their cost operating ratio should be 64.7%
and 64.1% in 2014 and 2015 respectively. The savings from the reduced labour force may see
Aurizon outperform these estimates.
The negotiation of a new enterprise agreement with employees is causing trouble for Aurizon as
internal dissatisfaction rises the risk of industrial action resulting in strikes also rise. The costs
associated with a strike would disrupt Aurizons plans for a 65% cost operating ratio.
External pressure from Asciano Limited may also threaten sales margins if aggressive competitive
tactics are pursued and price cutting results. The macro factors determining the future of the resources
sector in have proven to be volatile recently and if demand drops and revenues fall the cost operating
ratio is likely to deteriorate as fixed costs become proportionately larger to variable costs.
