2. Framework for Financial Statement Analysis
Financial statement analysis is the examination of both the relationships among financial statement numbers and the trends in those numbers over time.
One purpose of financial statement analysis is to use the past performance of a company to predict its future profitability and cash flows.
(continued)

3. Framework for Financial Statement Analysis
Another purpose of financial statement analysis is to evaluate the performance of a company with an eye toward identifying problem areas.
Most pieces of information are meaningful only when they can be compared to some benchmark; such as past values or with values for other firms in the same industry.
(continued)

4. Framework for Financial Statement Analysis
The Accounting Principles Board stated that comparisons between financial statements are most informative and useful under the following conditions:
The presentations are in good form; that is, the arrangement within the statement is identical.
The content of the statements is identical; that is, the same items from the underlying accounting records are classified under the same captions.
(continued)

5. Framework for Financial Statement Analysis
Accounting principles are not changed, or, if they are changed, the financial effects of the changes are disclosed.
Changes in circumstances or in the nature of the underlying transactions are disclosed.
To the extent that the foregoing criteria are not met, comparisons may be misleading.
(continued)

6. Common-Size Financial Statements
Financial statements are made comparable by dividing all financial statement numbers for a given year by sales for the year.
The resulting financial statements are called common-size financial statements, with all amounts for a given year being shown as a percentage of sales for that year.

7. DuPont Framework
The DuPont framework was developed internally at DuPont around 1920.
It provides a systematic approach to identifying general factors causing return on equity (ROE) to deviate from normal.
Return on equity (net income/equity) is the single measure that summarizes the financial health of a company.

8. DuPont Framework
Return on equity for Colesville Corporation for the years 2013 and 2012 is computed as follows:
Net income $180,000 $205,000
Stockholders’ equity $1,468,000 $1,090,000
Return on equity 12.3% 18.8%
(continued)

9. DuPont Framework
Coleville’s ROE is 12.3% for 2013 and 18.8% for 2012.

22. Margin vs. Turnover
The profitability of each dollar in sales is sometimes called a company’s margin.
The degree to which assets are used to generate sales is called turnover.
Margin isn’t everything, nor is turnover everything.
The important thing is how margin and turnover combine to generate return on assets.

23. Leverage Ratios
Higher leverage increases return on equity through the following chain of events:
More borrowing means that more assets can be purchased without any additional equity investment by stockholders.
More assets means that more sales can be generated.
More sales means that net income should increase.

35. Impact of Alternative Accounting Methods
If companies are using different accounting practices, it will impact the comparability of ratios.

36. Introduction to Equity Valuation
The following information for McDonald’s will be used for a simple valuation model:
Assume the required rate of return on equity capital for McDonald’s is 15%.

37. Constant Future Dividends
The appropriate formula is as follows:
Price =
Dividends
Required rate of return on equity capital
Price =
$2.05
0.15
= $13.67
Thus, the implied price per share for McDonald’s for 2009 was $13.67.

38. Constant Dividend Growth
McDonald’s growth rate over the past 12 years has exceeded 20%. Assuming a slower future growth rate of 12%, the implied price per share is computed as follows:
Price =
Dividends
Required rate of return on equity – Expected future dividend growth rate
Price =
$2.05
0.150 – 0.12
= $68.33

39. Price-Earnings Multiple
An investor can value a company’s share by using the information in the P/E ratio as follows:
Price = Earnings × P/E ratio
P/E ratios for a selection of restaurant chains at the end of 2009 are as follows:
(continued)

40. Price-Earnings Multiple
Using the average of these ratios (27.0), the implied price per share 2009 for McDonald’s is computed as follows:
Price = Earnings × P/E ratio
Price = $4.11 × 27.0 = $110.97

41. Discounted Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is defined as:
Cash from operating activities
– Cash paid for capital expenditures
= Free cash flow

42. Comparison of the Valuation Models
The computed prices for McDonald’s shares at the end of 2009, using each of the four models are as follows:
The actual market price of a share of McDonald’s stock at the end of 2009 was $61.91.
