Chapter 4 The Income Statement

Lists the following for a firm over a period of time: Ongoing Activities
Revenues Expenses Gains Losses

Incidental or Peripheral Activities:

The excess of revenues and gains over expenses and losses is equal to net income for the period. US GAAP vs. IFRS:
IFRS requires at least one year of comparative data on income statement (IAS 7) US GAAP has no specific requirement (however, SEC rules require firms to report 3 years of income statement data)

Usefulness of the Income Statement

Evaluate past performance of a company
Feedback value

Provide a basis for predicting future performance

Predictive value

Assist in assessing the risk or uncertainty of future cash flows

Predictive value

Limitations of the Income Statement

Does not report items that cannot be measured reliably
Examples of excluded items?

Reported income is a function of the accounting choices made

Examples of accounting choices?

Managers exercise judgment in measuring income can lead to earnings management:

Managers timing reporting of revenues, expenses, gains and losses to meet their incentives Generally increase current NI which decreases future NI Can also be used to decrease current NI in order to increase future NI

Single-Step Income Statement

The single-step statement consists of just two groupings: Revenues
Income Statement (in thousands) Revenues: Sales Interest revenue Total revenue Expenses: Cost of goods sold Advertising expense Depreciation expense Interest expense Income tax expense Total expenses Net income Earnings per share $ 285,000 17,000 302,000 149,000 10,000 43,000 21,000 24,000 247,000 $ 55,000 $ 0.75

Expenses

Multi-Step Income Statement Presentation

Operating Section:
Contains information about the operating activity of a business Used as basis for extrapolating into the future May include unusual gains and losses

Non-operating Section:
Interest expense and revenue Other gains and losses May include unusual gains and losses

Income Tax Section: Irregular Items Section: presented Net of Tax

Discontinued operations Extraordinary items Net of tax

Irregular Items
Reporting when both Discontinued Operations and Extraordinary Items are present.
Income Statement (in thousands) Sales Cost of goods sold
Interest expense Total other Income before taxes Income tax expense Income from continuing operations Discontinued operations: Loss from operations, net of tax Loss on disposal, net of tax Total loss on discontinued operations Income before extraordinary item Extraordinary loss, net of tax Net income $ 315 189 504 54,496 539 53,957

Discontinued Operations
(specify $ or % of tax)

Extraordinary Item
(specify $ or % of tax)

Reporting Irregular Items: Discontinued Operations

Basic criteria (SFAS 144):
1. Results of operations and cash flows of a component of a company have been (or will be) eliminated from ongoing operations * No significant continuing involvement in that component after disposal transaction *

2.

Two important dates in reporting discontinued operations: Measurement date (when management commits itself to a plan of segments disposal) Disposal date (the date of sale of the segment).
The time between the measurement date and the disposal date is often called the phase-out period

Reporting Irregular Items: Discontinued Operations

Presentation:
1. Writedown of assets to fair value less costs to sell if less than carrying value. No write-up recorded if fair value greater than carrying value. Results of operations for both current and prior periods are required to be reported as part of discontinued operations. Both items are reported net of tax (i.e. below the line).
Separate line item for tax expense (benefit)
Narrative less applicable tax expense (benefit) of $xxx or xxx% Refer to footnote on the face of the Income Statement

Time Line for Discontinued Operations

Year-end

Measurement Date

Year-end

Final Disposal

Prior year: reclassify into loss from op.

Loss from Operations (B)

Part of Loss on Disposition (C)

Part of Loss on Disposition: estimate future disposal costs and accrue (D)

(A)

Combine actual portion (C) + estimated portion (D) = Loss on Disposition on I/S

Example: Albertsons (2003)

January 30, 2003 January 31, 2002 Earnings from continuing operations before taxes 1,405 863 Income tax expense 540 367 --------------------------------------- ----------------- ----------Earnings from continuing operations 865 496 Discontinued operations: Operating (loss) income (50) 10 Loss on disposition (379) Tax (benefit) expense (143) 5 ------------------------------------- ----------------- ----------Net (loss) earnings from discontinued operations (286) 5

Discontinued Operations: US GAAP vs. IFRS

1. Definition of component (IFRS 5)
US GAAP is less restrictive than IFRS definition (IFRS: a reportable business or geographical segment or major component thereof)

2. 3.

Continuing Involvement (IFRS 5)

IFRS does not address continuing involvement

Taxes (IFRS 5)
US GAAP requires both pre-tax and post-tax income /loss to be disclosed on face of income statement IFRS requires only post-tax income or loss to be disclosed

Reporting Extraordinary Items

Extraordinary items must meet BOTH of the following criteria:
1. Event/transaction must be unusual in nature.

2.

Event/transaction must occur infrequently.

Items are reported net of tax (i.e. below the line). Items that are NOT Extraordinary Items under GAAP:
Losses from write-down or write-off of receivables, inventories, etc. Gains and losses from: Exchange or translation of foreign currency Disposal of a segment of a business

Abandonment of property used in business

Effects of strike Adjustments or accruals on long term contracts

Extraordinary Item classification not allowed under IFRS

Extraordinary Item Example

Verizon Communications:
In January 2007, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela declared its intent to nationalize certain companies, including CANTV. On February 12, 2007, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Republic. The MOU provides that the Republic will offer to purchase all of the equity securities of CANTV, including our 28.5% interestat a price equivalent to $17.85.Based on the terms of the MOU and our current investment balance in CANTV, we recorded an extraordinary loss on our investment of $131 million, net of tax, or $.05 per diluted shares, in the first quarter of 2007.

Reporting Unusual Gains or Losses

Unusual gains or losses:
Restructuring Charges Gains or losses that are generally unusual or infrequent, but not both. Do not qualify as extraordinary must be reported above the line in either operating or non-operating section of the income statement. This is an area where managers exercise discretion in presentation. Example: AOL P&L and Note 9

Accounting Changes
Categories of Accounting Changes:
1. Change in Accounting Estimate 2. Accounting Errors in Financial Statements 3. Change in Accounting Principle

Accounting Changes
What possible ways can we handle these changes?
1.

2.
3.

Change in Accounting Estimate

Application of certain accounting concepts requires estimates:
Matching concept requires an estimate of the life of long-lived assets Examples: uncollectible accounts, warranty liabilities, depreciation.

Estimates updated as new information becomes available.

Reporting:
Reported prospectively.
Change reported in current and future periods No effect on prior periods Reported in the affected accounts, NOT below the line

Change in Accounting Estimate

Example of prospective treatment:
Purchase machine on 1/1/05 for $110,000 with an estimated useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $10,000. Due to technological changes in 2006, it is estimated that the machine will have zero salvage value and will only have a useful life of 4 years beyond 2006. 2006 depreciation and beyond will be:

Accounting Errors in F/S

Includes:
Change from an accounting principle that is not GAAP to GAAP. Mathematical mistakes Changes in estimate that occurs because estimates not prepared in good faith or facts used in error Oversights (ex: failure to accrue or defer expenses and revenues at end of period)

Reporting:
Reported retrospectively as a restatement

Correct error in year(s) originally made by a direct entry to the affected line item(s). In following years the effect flows through beginning R/E. If error prior to years presented, just adjust beginning R/E.
Errors from previous periods do not flow through current period income.

Accounting Errors in F/S

Example: ABC companys auditor found the following errors during the 12/31/10 audit. What is the impact of each error? Assume ABC is public.
(1) At the end of 2009, sales salaries of $45,000 were not accrued.

(2)

In 2010, the company wrote off $87,000 of inventory considered to be obsolete; this loss was charged directly to Retained Earnings and credited to inventory.

(3)

2007 depreciation was understated by $100,000. Subsequent years depreciation was correctly recorded

Change in Accounting Principle

Voluntary adoption of different acceptable accounting principle
Common example is LIFO/FIFO/Weighted Average Inventory costing Must demonstrate that newly adopted principle is preferable Treat retrospectively. Need to restate prior years f/s for new method
Prior years statements presented in the financial statements are recast on a basis consistent with the newly adopted principle. Adjust beginning retained earnings for the earliest year presented to reflect any cumulative effect on periods prior to those presented.

Mandated change in accounting principle

Generally new standards require a retroactive approach unless it is impracticable If impracticable or choice given to issuer, can report cumulative effect of change as a separate net of tax line item on the Income Statement
Example stock options

Change in Accounting Principle

Example: Mattke Co. (a non-public company) began operations in 2005 and adopted weighted average pricing for inventory. In 2008, Mattke changed to FIFO pricing. Net Income data is:
Net Income Wtd Ave. 370,000 390,000 410,000 460,000 Net Income FIFO 395,000 430,000 450,000 430,000

Year 2005 2006 2007 2008

How is this reported? Retrospectively, prospectively, currently? Steps to report change. 1) Provide 3 years comparative P&L using restated amounts 2) Provide 2 years comparative B/S using FIFO inventory value and restated Retained Earnings 3) Restate 2006 beginning Retained Earnings to reflect $25,000 higher net income from 2005 What were the journal entries that made the above happen (ignoring taxes)?

Earnings Per Share

Basic EPS Diluted EPS Firms required to disclose both basic and Diluted EPS

Earnings Per Share

Computed as:
Net Income less Preferred Dividends Weighted Average of Common Shares Outstanding Disclosed on the I/S for all the major sections:
Income from continuing operations Discontinued operations loss, net of tax Income before extraordinary item Extraordinary item, net of tax Net income

Earnings Per Share

Example:
Assume NI of $5K Pfd Stk Dividends = $1K 12/31/06 year-end Outstanding common shares as follows: 1/1/06: 100 shares 4/1/06: 200 shares 7/1/06: 250 shares Weighted Average Calculation:

Earnings Per Share

Example: At 12/31/06 Shi Corp. had the following stock outstanding:
10% cumulative preferred stock, $100 par, 107,500 shares Common stock, $5 par, 4,000,000 shares $10,750,000 20,000,000

During 2007, Shi Corp. did not issue any additional common stock. The following also occurred during 2007:
Income from continuing operations before taxes Discontinued operations (loss before taxes) Preferred dividends declared Common dividends declared Effective tax rate $23,650,000 $ 3,225,000 $ 1,075,000 $ 2,200,000 35%

Compute EPS as it should appear on the 2007 f/s.

Retained Earnings Statement

Increased by net income and decreased by net loss and dividends for the year. Prior period adjustments to beginning balance
Corrections of errors in prior period financial statements cumulative impact of changes in accounting policy

Any part of retained earnings appropriated for a specific purpose is shown as restricted earnings.
So dividends cant be paid out from restricted R/E (can be part of a debt covenant)

Comprehensive Income Overview

What is comprehensive income?
All changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by or distributions to owners. Includes regular net income PLUS other comprehensive income:
unrealized holding gains or losses on securities (Ch17) unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency translation unrealized gains or losses on pension obligations

Other items are presented net of tax

Unrealized Holding Gains/Losses on Securities

Why do companies invest in debt and equity securities? < 20% interest assume little or no influence over investee Report debt intending to hold at held to maturity
Record investment at amortized cost Record interest as income

Report equity & other debt investment using fair value method
Mark investment to market on B/S. Recognize unrealized gain or loss. Where depends upon classification
Trading Income Statement Available-for-Sale Other comprehensive income

Other issues
Can calculate gain or loss at the portfolio level Potential for earnings management here?

Unrealized Gains/Losses
Example: on 1/1/09 Big bought shares of Little for $100,000. The shares were < 20% of the total outstanding stock of Little Company. On 12/31/09 the shares had a fair value of $125,000. Little paid dividends of $1000 to Big. How is this accounted for at 1/1/09 and 12/31/09?

If classified as Trading Securities?

If classified as Available for Sale Securities?

Do E17-7

Presentation of Comprehensive Income
