10 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Operating Decisions  Measuring business performance and benchmarking are important roles of finance to insure goals and objectives are being achieved.  Operating Decisions usually revolve around the Profit and Loss statement. Finance then benchmarks these results against budget/plan (variance analysis) and against peers.  Revenue – Average Selling Price (ASP), pricing, unit volume, product mix, market share, CAGR of sales  Cost of Sales – Outsourcing decisions, tax advantaged manufacturing locations, supply chain management, labor productivity  OPEX – Selling, general and administrative expense control, headcount, lease vs. buy decisions  Interest Expense – amount of debt, type of debt and interest rate.  Tax Management  Earnings Per Share - number of shares outstanding 10

11 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Corporate Counsel’s Role In Operating Decisions  Revenue recognition through the structuring of contracts.  Cost of sales through the negotiation and structuring of purchase contracts and hedging contracts.  Labor Costs through effective management of labor laws and negotiation with collective bargaining agreements  Selling, General and Administration costs through rent negotiations, advertising contracts, compensation agreements and insurance contracts  Managing litigation in a cost effective manner  Interest expense through negotiations on the terms and conditions of debt instruments.  Tax expense though management of tax liabilities and negotiation of tax incentives  Earnings per share through securities regulation and SEC compliance.  Assist in Internal Audit and External Financial Reporting 11

12 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Corporate Counsel’s Role In Investing Decisions  Assistance in collection of accounts receivable  Negotiation of contracts for capital expenditures and real estate transactions  Managing Acquisitions and Divestitures  Monitoring Treasury Investments  Managing IT risks and investments, including domain names and cybersecurity  Protecting and licensing intellectual property 12

16 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Financial Ratios: Key Areas of Performance Measurement  Performance in several key areas must be considered when evaluating a firm’s prospects for the future  Operational analysis  Cost Analysis, Cycle Time, Customer Satisfaction, Quality Metrics  Resource management  Asset Turnover, Days Sales Outstanding, Inventory Turns  Profitability and Productivity  Profit Margins, Sales/Employee, Sales/Sq. Ft.  Investment returns  ROA, ROE, ROIC  Market indicators  Market Share, EPS, P/E Ratio, Price/Sales  Risk Measurements  Liquidity, leverage, and debt service coverage 16 Source: Helfert, Erich A., “Techniques of Financial Analysis: A Guide to Value Creation,” 10 th Edition, Irwin McGraw Hill, Burr Ridge IL, 2000.

17 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Business Performance 17  Managers can increase the firm’s value and it return to shareholders: (Return on Assets and Invested Capital can also be used)  By increasing Revenue (Profitability/Growth)  Increasing Average Selling Price (ASP) and/or Volume (Q)  Organic growth vs. acquisition ; New Stores; New Products/Services; New Territories  By decreasing Expenses (Profitability)  Decrease Avg. Unit Cost (AUC) through Supply Chain Management, Labor Productivity, OPEX control and Scaling Fixed Costs  By decreasing Assets (Efficiency)  Increasing Cash Conversion Cycle and Plant Utilization  By increasing Liabilities (Leverage/Risk – other people’s money)  Higher returns come with higher financial risk if ROIC > Cost of Debt

25 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Financial Strategies & Value Creation

26 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Financial Goals & Strategies  All companies have similar financial goals – namely, to maximize shareholder wealth.  Companies employ different strategies and tactics to achieve this goal.  Some work off maximizing profit margins through differentiation or intellectual property (Software/ Pharmaceuticals)  Some work off scale (Mass Merchandisers) lower margins but more volume and lower selling costs. Others work off scope by selling a broad range of offerings.  Some work off efficient asset utilization (Airlines) – covering fixed costs with “bottoms” in seats. Revenue passenger seat miles.  Some work off leverage (Financial Services) – high debt to equity ratios in banks and insurance companies.  Combinations are possible 26

27 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Financial Strategy  The financial goal (recognizing there are other stakeholders) is to maximize shareholder wealth.  This is accomplished by investing in projects that exceed the firm’s cost of capital (Capital Budgeting)  Cost of capital is a function of risk and opportunity costs  Firms can create value by using its competitive advantage in:  Costs (power over suppliers, business model, OPEX control)  Pricing (power over customers)  Asset Utilization  Access and Cost of Capital  Growth (branding, distribution channels, marcom)  Risk Management (hedging, diversification, leverage) 27

28 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 DuPont Analysis  Let’s compare some public companies in different industries  Let’s look at  A Grocery Chain – Whole Foods  A general merchandiser – Wal-Mart  A software company – Microsoft  A computer company – Apple  A pharmaceutical (research) company – Merck  A financial institution – Wells Fargo  An insurance company – Allstate  What would you expect the return on equity to be for each of these companies given the risk of their industry to be able to attract capital?  How do you think they generate their return? Through profit margins, asset efficiency or leverage 28

29 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 DuPont Analysis  Averages – Last Five Years Whole Wal- Wells FoodsMart Microsoft Apple Merck Fargo Allstate ROE11.52% 21.9% 35.73%39.24% 15.26% 10.71%11.57% Profit Margin2.81%3.67% 27.84%23.4% 17.98% 16.62% 9.54% Turnover 2.45 2.380.590.93 0.42 0.0640.27 Leverage1.67 2.51 2.391.80 2.02 10.074.49 Note the different financial strategies the different companies take to produce a risk adjusted return that allows they to attract capital. Whole Foods and Wal-Mart works off volume and efficient asset turnover while leveraging their suppliers, but have small profit margins. Microsoft, Apple and Merck have intellectual property that enables them to have higher profit margins, but they have relatively low asset turnover (MSFT has $76 Billion and Apple has $137 Billion in cash). Financial Service companies like Allstate and Wells Fargo have huge asset bases and low turnover but work off other peoples money (leverage). Low investment returns, catastrophic losses, bad loans have affected ROE. 29

31 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 31 Asset Efficiency & Utilization

32 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Asset Turnover  Return is increased when sales are increased relative to the investment in assets.  Fixed Assets – Higher utilization of property, plant and equipment. Producing more sales with the same or fewer assets.  Current Assets – Faster turnover of working capital (accounts receivable and inventory) or a reduction in Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and Days Sales Inventory (DSI).  The risk of loss of sales from capacity constraints or too restrictive working capital polity also increases as the company attempts to turnover the assets faster.  We will take a closer look at the working capital as measured by the firm’s cash conversion cycle. Poor working capital management can create cash flow problems even in a profitable company. 32

33 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Treasury Management  Managing short and medium term cash flow requirements  Cash management and maintenance of liquidity  Safety, liquidity and yield  Handles foreign exchange and currency hedging  Implementation of treasury management system  Interfaces with banking platforms  Operational use of derivatives  Risk Management - Asset and liability management  Commercial Finance activities  E-banking solutions, banking arrangements & facilities/account structures. 33

34 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Working Capital Management  Credit administration & collection  Accounts Receivable terms  Credit and Collections  Days Sales Outstanding  Aging of Receivables  Inventory Management  Ordering vs. Carrying Costs  Just-in-time, LIFO/FIFO  Days Sales Inventory  Accounts Payable  Early Payment Discounts  Days Payable Outstanding 34

37 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Cash Conversion Cycle = DSO + DSI – DPO Cash Conversion Cycle A measure of how effectively a company is using its cash DSO: Days Sales Outstanding How many days, on average, does it take for customers to pay DSI: Days Sales in Inventory How many days, on average, does product sit in inventory, waiting to be sold DPO: Days Payables Outstanding How many days, on average, does a company wait before paying their supplies 37 DSO + DSI – DPO = CCC DSO= 45 Days Avg Accts Receivable/Net Sales*365 DSO= 45 Days Avg Accts Receivable/Net Sales*365 DSI=65 Days Average Inventory/COGS*365 DSI=65 Days Average Inventory/COGS*365 DPO= 54 Avg Accounts Payable/COGS*365 DPO= 54 Avg Accounts Payable/COGS*365 45 + 65 – 54 = 56

38 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Capital Budgeting Lawyers don’t have to be seen as sales prevention or deal killers. Corporate Counsel needs to be included earlier in the decision- making process, but must change their “image” to be accepted earlier in the process. Otherwise, they will beg for forgiveness rather than ask for permission. Your legal job is to mitigate risk, which can be value producing activity. However, since there is a risk/return trade-off in business, this is often seen as being counterproductive to people incented by return.

39 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Common Elements of Decision-Making 39  Using fact-based analysis to maximize the goals and objectives of the person or organization.  What are the Costs (Operating, Capital & Opportunity costs)  What are the Benefits (Economic Profits/Free Cash Flow)  What are the Risks (Uncertainty/Ambiguity)  Over what Time (Time value of money)  With each business decision you are involved in, you should ask:  How will this decision impact the stated goals of the organization?  What other parts of the organization will be impacted by this decision, both negatively and positively?  Are there other options that might have better outcomes or less risk.  Where is value being created or destroyed in the firm?

40 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Investment Decision Making  We said that Finance role is making the investing and financing decisions of the firm.  Investing Decisions  To accept a new project, the project must increase the value of the firm. It must produce a return that exceeds the required return (hurdle rate) based on the riskiness of the project (always?).  Since a firm could have more projects that produce returns that exceed their hurdle rate, financial managers must prioritize which investments should be chosen which produce the greatest value to the firm.  Thus, capital must be allocated and rationed and projects must be ranked. This is called capital budgeting.  Financing Decisions  Once projects have been accepted, the financial manager must decide how to finance the projects which produce the lowest cost of capital. 40

41 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Capital Budgeting  Time Value of Money  Most projects require a substantial investment in CAPEX, OPEX and working capital at the beginning of the project. The project then generates revenues, expenses, income and cash flow over the life of the project. However, future dollars are not worth as much as current dollars (opportunity cost) and thus the cash flows must be adjusted for the time value of money.  Investment Decision –Making Tools  Financial managers have investment decision-making tools which allow them to account for risk, return and the time value of money. These investment decision-making tools include:  Payback Method  Net Present Value  Internal Rate of Return  Profitability Index  and Real Options. 41

42 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Capital Budgeting Issues  Most companies have more projects than they have capital.  To rank projects, managers must estimate:  Initial Investment  CAPEX (plant and equipment) and working capital requirements (inventory, receivables, payables)  Ongoing Investment  As revenues grow, the project may require additions to working capital and additional CAPEX.  Expected Revenues  Expected Expenses (Cost of sales, headcount, OPEX)  The project may have negative cash flows the first few periods which represents OPEX investment)  The investment horizon (usually three to five years)  A terminal value at the end of the project  Capital has a cost  The future benefits and costs must be discounted at the appropriate discount rate.  Hurdle Rate, Opportunity Cost, Weighted Average Cost of Capital 42

43 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Quantitative Tools  How many of the value levers does the project pull?  Growth  Profitability  Economic Profit – Covers Operating and Capital Costs?  EBITDA Margin – Contribute to incremental profit?  Asset Efficiency/Productivity/Capacity Utilization  Leverage – Physical Assets, Capital and Human Resources  Risk – Uncertainty – How do you mitigate.  Once we have estimated the cash flows, (CF - both inflows and outflows) and determined the appropriate discount rate, r t, we simply perform the calculation to determine if the benefits exceed the costs of the project: 43

44 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Project Ideas  How are project ideas generated?  Large scale strategic investments tend to come from top down.  Merger or acquisitions. New products or territories.  Expansion, new equipment and other capital expenditures tend to be generated from the bottom up.  Each business unit or department may generate capital projects needs or ideas.  Projects are usually split into:  Routine repair, replace and maintenance of existing assets (typically a percentage of annual depreciation)  Discretionary/expansion projects – remainder of the capital budget. 44

45 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Project Prioritization  Projects may be prioritized first on a non-financial basis:  Short-term vs. long-term investment horizon – longer term projects need more analysis.  Strategic vs. Non-Strategic (affect a competitor, diversification of risk, solidifies market position, builds barriers to entry, etc.)  High financial impact vs. low financial impact ( immediate or deferred)  Low risk (low marginal investment or costs, evolutionary) vs. high risk project (bet the farm, revolutionary)  Projects which can be deferred without loss of opportunity vs. projects in which delay would cause substantial loss of opportunity.  Synergistic vs. Non-synergistic (impact on existing operations)  Non-financial resource constraints – technology constraints, regulatory, engineering capacity, sales and distribution capacity, etc.)  Market Attractiveness  FIT with the Company’s Business Model 45

46 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Market Attractiveness Factors  Market size (TAM)  Market growth rate  Market profitability  Competitive intensity/rivalry  Pricing trends  Demand variability  Opportunity to differentiate  Risk of achieving potential returns 46

47 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Fit With Model Factors  Clear linkage between vision, strategic initiatives, tactical plans, financial plan, annual budgets, and operational competency and capacity  Brand Relevancy  Core Competencies  Market share and “managed” growth  Customer loyalty and switching costs  Competitive pricing and cost advantage  Control & influence over hospital and quality of care  Leverage System - Ability to leverage distribution, supply chain, capacity and company networks 47

51 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Time Value of Money  Managers invest money today in assets which will generate cash flows in the future.  A basic problem faced by financial managers when evaluating new investments is estimating the value of the future cash flows (variability = risk).  Average Selling Price (ASP), units sold, cost of good sold, operating expenses, R&D, Capital Expenditures (CAPEX), depreciation, working capital all must be estimated and then discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk. 51

52 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 If you invest a dollar today you will earn interest during the year so that you will have more than a dollar in the future. The trade-off between current dollars and future dollars is determined by the rate of return that you can earn on money during the year. This is what we refer to as the interest rate or opportunity cost. 52 First Principle of Finance: A Dollar Today Is Worth More Than A Dollar Tomorrow

53 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 In 1626, Peter Minuit Bought Manhattan Island for $24 from the Indians  You might suspect that the Indians got a bad deal, but...  If the Indians had invested the money at 10% per year, the value today of the $24 in 1626 would be. = ($24)(1.1) 385 = ($2.07)x10 17 = $207,000 trillion This is enough money to buy all of the world’s financial assets! ($198 Trillion per McKinsey) 53

54 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Present Value and Future Value 54 Present Value Future Value Value In $ Years 510 FV= $2,159 PV=$1,000 8% interest rate Thus, $1,000 invested today at 8% will be worth $2,159 in 10 years. If someone promised to pay you $2,159 ten years from now, the present value would be $1,000 today assuming you require an 8% return.

55 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Safe vs. Risky Dollars  Second Basic Principal of Finance: A safe dollar is worth more than a risky dollar.  If future cash flows are not certain:  Use expected future cash flows (apply probabilities) and  Use a higher discount rate that reflects the expected rate of return on other investments of comparable risk. 55

56 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Time Value of Money  Future Value is greater with:  Larger interest rate  Longer time period  Present Value is greater with:  a smaller interest rate  a shorter time period 56

57 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 NPV Process 57 Projection of FCF Terminal Value Discount Rate Present Value Decision Project free cash flow (FCF) over the planning horizon, typically 3 -10 years. Project revenues, expenses, taxes, working capital and CAPEX. Calculate the terminal value (if any) at the end of the forecast period by taking the non-depreciated value of the fixed assets (net book value of the fixed assets) plus add back the net working capital at the end of the project. Find the company’s hurdle rate. This discount rate for the time value of money should be based on the riskiness of the cash flows (opportunity cost). If similar in risk to other company projects, the company’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) can be used by proportionately weighting the after-tax cost of debt and equity. Determine the current value by discount each year’s projected FCF as well as the terminal value with the discount rate to get the present value of the future FCF. If the NPV is > $0, the project is acceptable and if the NPV is < $0 then the project is rejected. If the project returns a $0 NPV, then you have found the IRR of the project which is equal to the hurdle rate.

58 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Net Present Value (NPV) 58 The Net Present Value of a project equals the present value of the project’s annual cash inflows and outflows (Free Cash Flows) discounted by the firm’s weighted average cost of capital, WACC. The free cash flows from a project are calculated as follows: Net Revenue - COGS & Operating Expenses Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Dep & Amort (EBITDA) - Depreciation and Amortization Operating Income. (EBIT or Op Inc) x (1 - Average Tax Rate) Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) + Depreciation and Amortization - Capital Expenditures - Additions to Working Capital Free Cash Flows where: t is the period in which the cash flow is received.

59 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Popular Alternatives to NPV  Payback  Internal Rate of Return 59

60 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 The Payback Period  The payback period is the length of time it takes to recover the initial investment.  Over the payback period, the cumulative cash flows generated by an project are equal to the original investment outlay.  Accept an investment if its expected payback period is less than some predetermined cutoff value (e.g., 2 years). 60

61 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Internal Rate of Return 61 The IRR is the discount rate, r, for which the NPV = 0. It is the average rate of return earned during the project. IRR assumes you get your investment back plus earn a rate of return that produces an NPV of $0.

62 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Capital Budgeting Summary  Capital Budgeting allows us to pursue the goal of maximizing shareholder wealth by taking future costs and benefits, discounting them to the current point in time and comparing the project to other opportunities the company may have to invest.  Different projects can have different risks and these risk factors can be modeled into the analysis by adjusting the expected cash flows or by varying the discount rate.  If a project is accepted and the projections are realized exactly, then the market value of the company should increase by the NPV of the project.  Would a company ever accept a negative NPV project? 62

63 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Practical Applications of Capital Budgeting  Building new plants or acquiring new capital equipment  Lease vs. Buy Decision  Outsoursing vs. In-house production  Make or Buy Decision  Mergers and Acquisition  New Store openings  New product introduction, rollout  Selling to customers on credit 63

71 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Financing Goals & Strategies  The goal of the financing decision is to employ capital in the correct mix of debt and equity that minimizes the average cost of capital to the firm.  Judicious use of debt will enable the firm to employ financial leverage so that the firm’s return on shareholder equity is maximized. 71

72 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Cost of Debt  Debt is a cheaper source of capital than equity but a riskier source that creates managerial inflexibility.  Issuance costs are lower for debt  The cost of debt is subsidized - Interest is tax deductible and thus the after-tax cost of debt is lower.  Creditors have contractual returns and higher priority claims. As a result, they perceive less risk and thus will accept lower returns (cost) for their investment.  However, debt has fixed repayment terms and over- leverage can result in financial inflexibility and insolvency.  Interest rate risk and negative leverae  Renewal uncertainty 72

73 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Cost of Equity  Equity capital is more expensive but more patient and less risky source of capital.  Issuance costs are higher and compliance costs are higher.  Shareholder’s are the residual claimants whose returns are variable and thus they perceive greater risk and require higher returns (costs) for their investment.  Dividends are paid after corporate taxes and thus receive no subsidy like interest expense.  With no fixed repayment obligations, equity provides more managerial flexibility. 73

74 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Weighted Average Cost of Capital  Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the after-tax cost of debt and the cost of equity weighted by their market value percentage of the firm value.  The cost of debt is contractual and the rate is multiplied by one minus the tax rate to get the after tax cost of debt.  The cost of equity is an expected return to the residual claimants (shareholders) and can be estimated by the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) or dividend discount model. 74 of 42

75 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Optimal Capital Structure  Where the average cost of capital is minimized.  Where the marginal cost of new capital is equal to the marginal return on the next investment.  Where the value of the enterprise is maximized. 75

76 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Term Sheets  Negotiating Items for the Bank include:  Amount of loan  Interest rate, fixed or floating  Maturity  Loan Covenants  Guarantees  Major negotiating points with the VC will be:  Amount of capital needed  The valuation of the business  Number and composition of the Board of Directors  Liquidation preferences  Anti-dilution provisions  Milestones  Amount of Option Pool and Vesting Schedule  Founder stock vesting  Conversion rights, Redemption rights and Take Along rights  Registration and Piggyback rights 76

77 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Leverage - Summary  The goal of capital structure and dividend policy is to minimize the cost of capital to the firm which allows the firm to invest the capital in projects that exceed the weighted average cost of capital or hurdle rate.  The weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of debt and equity in the firm, which is a function of the perceived risk of the suppliers of capital.  Are Dividends and Stock Buybacks a positive or negative signal to the market? Which is better for your bonus calculations? Can a company have a gain or loss on its purchase and sale of its own stock? 77

78 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Capital Structure Policy  In general, after considering the tax effects, debt is a cheaper but riskier source of capital than equity. If a firm thinks it can earn more than the cost of debt, then favorable financial leverage generates higher returns to shareholders but gives managers less flexibility and exposes shareholders to a higher risk of insolvency.  Dividends and share repurchases can be a good use of excess cash but remember to consider taxes.  The Company is competing with other firms for capital and must give creditors and shareholders a risk adjusted return to be able to attract capital. 78

88 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Cram-downs and Objections  Cram-down – Under certain circumstances, the bankruptcy court may "cram down" a plan over the objection of creditors. In order to confirm a Chapter 11 plan over the objection of a secured creditor, a holder of a secured claim must receive the entire value of the property securing the claim or the entire value of the claim, whichever is smaller. Unsecured creditors must either accept the Chapter 11 plan or the owners of the business must not receive any property under the plan on account of their pre-bankruptcy interest in the farming operation. Finally, a plan cannot be confirmed if the plan does not pay each claim holder as much as he would have received under a Chapter 7 liquidation unless those who receive less accept the plan.  Objections to Plan – Creditors may object to the confirmation of the debtor's plan in a Chapter 11 case. Such objections will usually challenge whether the debtor has met the technical requirements of Chapter 11. However, creditors may also challenge the debtor's valuation of their collateral and the feasibility of the debtor's plan. As a result, it is usually necessary for the debtor to obtain expert testimony concerning the current value of machinery, equipment, livestock, and crops. In addition, it will be necessary for the debtor to provide his creditors with detailed financial projections which will assist the bankruptcy court in determining that the business may be successfully restructured. 88

89 © The University of Texas at Austin 2013 Competing Plans & Confirmation  Competing Plans – As previously mentioned, only the debtor may submit a plan of reorganization within 120 days of the initiation of the bankruptcy case. Any interested party may file a plan thereafter. A plan, including a plan proposed by a creditor, may provide for the liquidation of some or all of the debtor's nonexempt assets. Such a liquidating plan may be proposed and approved by the court.  Confirmation – Confirmation of a plan under Chapter 11 acts as a discharge of all debts, filed or not, excluding those specified as not dischargeable elsewhere in the bankruptcy code. Upon confirmation of a plan, the debtor receives back all his property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances unless such liens are preserved by the plan. Both the debtor and the creditors are bound by the terms of the confirmed plan. 89
