Financial Planning - Pro Forma Financial Statements

The Role of Pro-forma Financial Statements

• describe the predicted financial outcome of a particular course of action (Strategic)

• By showing the financial implications of certain decisions, managers should be able

to allocate resources in a more efficient and effective manner

Preparing the Pro forma Financial Statement

Involves four major steps:

1. Identify the factors that will affect the pro forma statements

2. Forecast the sales for the period

3. Forecast the remaining elements of the financial statements (Assets, Liabilities, and Capital – Net Working Capital)

 An increase in the level of sales is likely to lead to a need for:

o An increase in cash, accounts receivable, and an increase in inventory to meet the increase in demand (Working

Capital)

 An increase in the level of sales should also lead to:

o An increase in accounts payable as a result of increased purchases, and an increase in accrued expenses as a result

of increased costs

4. Prepare the pro forma financial statements.

PRO FORMA INCOME STATEMENT

A pro forma income statement provides insight into the anticipated level of future profits or

losses, which can be defined as the difference between the anticipated levels of sales and

expenses.

PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF RETAINED EARNINGS

• Computes the closing balance in retained earnings

• It uses the opening balance in the retained earnings account, adds the net income from the pro

forma income statement, and deducts the projected level of dividends that will be paid to

shareholders
Chapter 5 - 3 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.
• Arrive at the closing balance in retained earnings.
3
PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET

• The pro forma balance sheet reveals the end-of-period balances for assets,

liabilities, and shareholders’ equity

• It should normally be the last of the four statements to be prepared.

• This is because the other statements will produce information to be used when

preparing the pro forma balance sheet.

PERCENT-OF-SALES METHOD

• An alternative

sheet is the percent-of-sales method
Income Statement

The percent-of-sales method assumes that the following income statement items can be expressed

as a percentage of sales:

• All operating expenses

• The net profit figure, which is the difference between sales and expenses

However:

• Corporate tax and dividends are assumed to vary with the level of net profit and so are expressed

as a percentage of the net profit figure

Chapter 5 - 5 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

Balance Sheet

The percent-of-sales method assumes that the following balance sheet items can be

expressed as a percentage of sales:

•Current assets that increase with sales, such as inventory and accounts receivable

•Current liabilities that increase with sales, such as accounts payable and accrued

expenses

•Cash (as a pro forma cash budget is not prepared to provide a more accurate

measure of cash).

However:
Chapter 5 - 6 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

•Property, plant, and equipment will only be expressed as a percentage of sales if 6


Identifying the Financing Gap

•When sales increase, there is a risk that the business will outgrow its current financing.

•The forecast increase in assets may exceed the forecast increase in liabilities and the retained

earnings

•A financing gap may arise because the initial pro forma balance sheet does not balance.

•The additional financing required by the business will be the amount necessary to make the

balance sheet balance, and includes obtaining new loans and issuing new equity (shares).

BONDS

• A bond is a promise to pay a series of payments over time (the


interest component) and a fixed amount at maturity (the face
amount). Thus it is blend of an annuity (the interest) and lump
sum payment (the face value).

• To determine the amount an investor is willing to pay for a


bond requires present value computations to determine the
current worth of the future payments.

Interest)

• Bonds are sensitive to interest rates, which in turn are affected by
inflation.

• Rising interest rates cause the market price of all bonds to fall
because the fixed coupon rates make the old bonds less valuable.

• Conversely, falling interest rates cause all existing bond prices to


rise.

• So, bond prices rise and fall in a similar fashion to stock prices,
although usually they are not as volatile

• Assume that Shultz Company issues a 5-year, 8% bonds

with a face value of $1,000, and interest paid every six

months. Using these assumptions, consider the

following three alternative scenarios:

• Par

• Premium

• Discount
Chapter 5 - 20 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

20
BONDS AT PAR VALUE
WHEN THE MARKET RATE OF INTEREST IS 8%

If the market rate of interest for companies like Schultz (ie:


companies having the same perceived integrity and risk)
then Schultz’s bonds should sell at face value (also known
as par).

That is to say, that investors will pay $1,000 today for a


bond that will return $40 every six months and will get the
face value at maturity (10 years) of $1,000.

Thus, the bond would yield 8%.


Chapter 5 - 21 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

21
See: Homework Par
BONDS AT A PREMIUM
IF THE MARKET RATE OF INTEREST IS 6%

If the market rate of interest is 6%, the Shultz bonds are attractive
to the investor because they will be paid 8% on their investment
while other investments of similar integrity and risk are paying 6%.

The question becomes: How much will the investor pay for
Shultz’s 8% bonds?

The answer is that investors will bid up the price of the bond
(arbitrage) until the effective yield rate drops to 6%.

Chapter 5 - 22 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

22
BONDS AT A PREMIUM
IF THE MARKET RATE OF INTEREST IS 6%

In other words, the price of the bond would have to be high


enough so that the $40 semiannual payment and the $1,000 face
value (at maturity) would yield 6%

The exact amount they would be willing to pay is determined by


discounting the cash flow stream at the market rate of interest.

See: Homework Premium

Chapter 5 - 23 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

23
BONDS AT A DISCOUNT
IF THE MARKET RATE OF INTEREST IS 10%

If the market rate of interest is 10%, the Shultz bonds are NOT
attractive to the investor because they will be paid 8% on their
investment while other investments of similar integrity and risk
are paying 10%.

The question becomes: How much will the investor pay for
Shultz’s 8% bonds?

The answer is that investors will bid down the price of the bond
(arbitrage) until the effective yield rate increases to 10%.

Week 10 Capital Investment Decisions
Accrual Accounting Rate of Return (AARR), Payback Period
(PP), and Discounted Payback Period (DPP)

An investment is typically one large amount and


the benefits arrive as a series of smaller
amounts over a fairly protracted period.
Investment decisions are very important
because:
• Large amounts of resources are often involved.
• It is often difficult and/or expensive to bail
out of an investment once it has been
undertaken.
Chapter 5 - 26 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

26
Methods of Investment Appraisal

Four methods are used in practice by businesses


throughout the world to evaluate investment
opportunities:

• Accrual Accounting rate of return (AARR)


• Payback period (PP)
• Discounted Payback Period (DPP)
• Net present value (NPV)
•Chapter
Internal rate of return (IRR).
5 - 27 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

27
Accrual Accounting Rate of Return
(AARR)
• (AARR) method takes the average accounting
profit that the investment will generate and
expresses it as a percentage of the average
investment made over the life of the project.

Chapter 5 - 28 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

28
Accrual Accounting Rate of Return
Manitoba Railway Ltd. (MRL) is considering spending $650 million to add new
rolling stock. It is estimated that the trains will last 15 years and have a salvage
value at the end of 15 years of $50 million, and the Expected Annual Revenue
Increase before depreciation is $75 million. If MRL's cost of capital (Interest or
Discount rate) is 7%. Calculate the Accrual Accounting Rate of Return
a) Average Annual Profit = Expected Annual Revenue Increase - Annual Depreciation

= $75 - ($650-$50) / 15

= $75 - $40

= $35

b) Average Annual Investment = (Initial Investment + Scrap Value) / 2

= ($650 + $50) / 2

Chapter 5 -=29 © 2012


$350
Pearson Canada Inc.

AARR = $35 / $350 10.0% 29


Problems with AARR

1. AARR Ignores TIME VALUE of Money


2. AARR Can Lead to an Illogical Decision
3. AARR Is Based on the Accounting PROFITS, Not
the Future Cash Flows.
4. AARR Measures Relative Size and Not Absolute
Size of the Return (Ballpark).

Chapter 5 - 30 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

30
Payback Period (PP)

• The length of time it takes for an initial investment to


be repaid out of the net cash inflows from a project
• A manager using PP would need to have a maximum
payback period in mind.
The decision rules to be used are:
1. For any project to be acceptable, it must fall within
the REQUIRED payback period.
2. Where there are competing projects that meet the
REQUIRED payback period requirement, the project
with the SMALLEST payback period should be
selected.

Payback Period
Manitoba Railroad Limited (MRL) is considering spending $450 million to add new rolling stock. It is
estimated that the trains will last 15 years and the expected annual revenue increases are $55
million. MRL’s cost of capital (the interest or discount rate) is 7%. Calculate the Payback Period.

Week 11: Making Capital Investment Decisions:
Discounted Cash Flow Methods (DCF)

There are two superior methods of estimating the


results of investing in risky capital projects:

- Net Present Value (NPV)

- Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

Chapter 5 - 35 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

35
Net Present Value (NVP)
• Considers all of the incremental costs and incremental
benefits of each investment opportunity.

• Makes a logical allowance for the timing of those costs


and benefits.

The decision rules are:


• For any project to be acceptable, the NPV must be
positive.

• Where there are competing projects with positive


NPVs, the one that gives the highest positive NPV
Chapter 5 - 36 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

should be accepted. 36
Net Present Value
Manitoba Railroad Limited (MRL) is considering spending $450 million to add new rolling stock.
It is estimated that the trains will last 15 years and the expected annual revenue increases are
$55 million. MRL’s cost of capital or discount rate is 7%. Calculate the Net Present Value.

37
The Discount Rate and the Cost of Capital

• The appropriate discount rate to use in NPV


assessments is the opportunity cost of funds.

• This will normally be the cost of the mixture of


funds (shareholders’ funds and debt) used by
the business usually known as the weighted
average cost of capital.

Chapter 5 - 38 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

38
Why NPV Is Superior to ARR and PP

NPV is a better method of appraising potential


investment opportunities than either ARR or PP
because it fully takes account of each of the
following:
1. The timing of the cash flows.
2. The whole of the relevant cash flows.
3. The objectives of the business.

Chapter 5 - 39 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

39
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
• Closely related to the NPV method in that, like NPV, it also
involves discounting future cash flows.

• The internal rate of return (IRR) is the breakeven discount rate


that makes NPV = 0.

• If the discount rate is higher than the IRR, then the NPV will be
negative.

• If the discount rate is lower than the IRR, then the NPV will be
positive.

• Chapter

IRR continued
• The minimum required IRR is often referred to as the hurdle rate.

• It is usually the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC).

The following decision rules should be applied:


• For any project to be acceptable, it must exceed the IRR
requirement.

• Where there are competing projects, the one with the highest IRR
should be selected.

The Firm’s Capital Structure:
Types of Capital
All of the items on the right-hand side of the
firm’s balance sheet, excluding current liabilities,
are sources of capital. The following simplified
balance sheet illustrates the basic breakdown of
total capital into its two components, debt
capital and equity capital.

Chapter 5 - 44 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.


The Firm’s Capital Structure:
Types of Capital – Debt Capital
• The cost of debt is lower than the cost of other
forms of financing.
• Lenders demand relatively lower returns
because they take the least risk of any
contributors of long-term capital.
• Lenders have a higher priority of claim against
any earnings or assets available for payment,
and they can exert far greater legal pressure
against the company to make payment than can

The Firm’s Capital Structure:
Types of Capital – Equity Capital
• Unlike debt capital, which the firm must
eventually repay, equity capital remains invested
in the firm indefinitely—it has no maturity date.
• The two basic sources of equity capital are (1)
preferred stock and (2) common stock equity,
which includes common stock and retained
earnings.
• Common stock is typically the most expensive
form of equity, followed by retained earnings and

The Risk/Return (CAPM) Approach to
the Valuation of Common Shares

• The risk/return approach is based on the idea

that the cost of a common share is made up of a


risk-free rate of return plus a risk premium.

• The risk premium is calculated by measuring the risk


premium for the market as a whole, then measuring
the returns from a particular share in relation to the
market, and applying this measure to the market risk
premium.

• Working capital represents a NET investment in short-term assets.

• These assets are continually flowing into and out of the business,
and are essential for day-to-day operations.

• The various elements of working capital are interrelated, and can


be seen as part of a short-term cycle

• The management of working capital is an essential part of the


business’s short-term planning process.

• It is necessary for management to decide how much of each

Week 13b: Breakeven Analysis
• A company’s breakeven point occurs when its
sales equal its costs
• Often useful to determine the breakeven point
for a particular product line
• The breakeven point can be determined as
dollars of sales, but often helpful to divide the
sales by the selling price to obtain the number
of units the company must sell to break even
• Breakeven analysis is especially useful in
determining whether a new product for the
company might be successful

• Breakeven analysis is used to indicate the level
of operations necessary to cover all costs and to
evaluate the profitability associated with various
levels of sales; also called cost-volume-profit
analysis.

• The operating breakeven point is the level of


sales necessary to cover all operating costs; the
point at©which
Chapter 5 - 75 EBIT

75
The first step in finding the operating breakeven

point is to divide the cost of goods sold and

operating expenses into fixed (FC) and variable

(VC) operating costs.

Chapter 5 - 76 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

76
• Fixed costs (FC) are costs that the firm must pay in
a given period regardless of the sales volume
achieved during that period.

• Variable costs (VC) vary directly with sales volume.

• The difference between the selling price (SP) and


the variable cost (VC) per unit is called the

contribution margin (CM). 77


Assume that Cheryl’s Posters, a small poster
retailer, has fixed operating costs of $2,500. Its sale
price is $10 per poster, and its variable operating
cost is $5 per poster. What is the firm’s:
• SP
• FC
• VC
• CM
• Breakeven Point in units (BEPu)

Chapter 5 - 78 © 2012 Pearson Canada Inc.

78
BEPu = S / FC-VC

BEPu = S / CM

BEPu = $2,500 / $10 - $5

BEPu = $2,500 / 5

BEPu = 500 units
