4. 2-4 Income Statement Device to measure the profitability of a firm over a period of time –It covers a defined period of time –It is presented in a stair-step or progressive fashion to examine profit or loss after each type of expense item is deducted

5. 2-5 Income Statement (cont’d) Sales – Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) = Gross Profit (GP) GP – Expenses = Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) or Operating Income (OI) EBIT – Interest = Earnings Before Taxes (EBT) EBT – Taxes = Earnings After Taxes (EAT) or Net Income (NI)

6. 2-6 Income Statement (cont’d) Table 2–1

7. 2-7 Return to Capital Three primary sources of capital: –Bondholders (receive interest) –Preferred stockholders (receive dividends) –Common stockholders (receive dividends after preferred stockholders) Earnings per share –Interpreted in terms of number of outstanding shares –May be paid out in dividends or retained by company for subsequent reinvestment

8. 2-8 Statement of Retained Earnings Indicates disposition of earnings with: –any adjustments to previously reported income –any restrictions on cash dividends

9. 2-9 Price-Earnings (P/E) Ratio Multiplier applied to earnings per share to determine current value of common stock Indicates expectations about the future of a company Some factors that influence P/E: –Earnings and sales growth of the firm –Risk (volatility in performance) –Debt-equity structure of the firm –Dividend payment policy –Quality of management

10. 2-10 Price-Earnings (P/E) Ratio (cont’d) Allows comparison of the relative market value of many companies Firms with higher expected returns will have higher P/E ratio Price-earnings ratios can be confusing –Drop in earnings may not match the magnitude of the falloff in earnings, which causes increase in P/E ratio

11. 2-11 Price-earnings Ratios for Selected U.S. Companies Expectations of returns and P/E ratios do change over time

12. 2-12 Limitations of the Income Statement Income gained/lost during a given period is a function of verifiable transactions –Stockholders, hence, may perceive only a much smaller gain/loss from actual day-to-day operations Flexibility in reporting transactions might result in differing measurements of income gained from similar events at the end of a time period

13. 2-13 Balance Sheet Indicates what the firm owns and how these assets are financed in the form of liabilities or ownership interest –Delineates the firm’s holdings and obligations –A picture of the firm at a point in time –Items are stated on an original cost basis rather than at current market value

14. 2-14 Balance Sheet Items Liquidity: Asset accounts are listed in order of liquidity –Current assets Items that can be converted to cash within one year –Marketable securities Temporary investments of excess cash –Accounts receivable Allowance for bad debts to determine their anticipated collection value –Inventory Includes raw materials, goods in progress, or finished goods

15. 2-15 Balance Sheet Items (cont’d) –Prepaid expenses Represent future expense items that are already paid for –Investments Long-term commitment of funds (at least one year) Includes stocks, bonds, or investments in other corporations –Plant and equipment Carried at original cost minus accumulated depreciation Accumulated depreciation: Sum of past and present depreciation charges on currently owned assets

16. 2-16 Balance Sheet Items (cont’d) –Total assets: Financed through liabilities or stockholders’ equity Liabilities are financial obligations of the firm and move from current liabilities (due within one year) to longer-term obligations Short-term obligations –Accounts payable (amount owed on open account to suppliers) –Notes payable (short-term signed obligations –to the banker or other creditors) –Accrued expense (payment not made for the obligation incurred on the services received)

17. 2-17 Stockholder’s Equity Represents total contribution and ownership interest of preferred and common stockholders –Preferred stock –Common stock –Capital paid in excess of par –Retained earnings

18. 2-18 Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet)

19. 2-19 Concept of Net Worth Net worth/book value = Stockholders’ equity – preferred stock component Market value is of primary concern to the: –Financial manager –Security analyst –Stockholders

20. 2-20 Limitations of the Balance Sheet Most of the values are based on historical/original cost price –Troublesome when it comes to plant and equipment and inventory FASB ruling on disclosure of inflation adjustments no longer in force –It is purely a voluntary act on the part of the company

21. 2-21 Limitations of the Balance Sheet (cont’d) Differences between per share values may be due to: –Asset valuation –Industry outlook –Growth prospects –Quality of management –Risk-return expectations

22. 2-22 Comparison of Market Value to Book Value per Share

23. 2-23 Statement of Cash Flows Emphasizes critical nature of cash flow to the operations of the firm –It represents cash/cash equivalents items easily convertible to cash within 90 days Advantage of accrual method –Allows matching of revenues and expenses in the period in which they occur to appropriately measure profits

24. 2-24 Statement of Cash Flows (cont’d) Disadvantage of accrual method –Adequate attention not directed to actual cash flow position of firm Cash flow analysis helps in combating discrepancies faced through accrual method of accounting

25. 2-25 Sections of a Statement of Cash Flows Three primary sections of the statement of cash flows: –Cash flows from operating activities –Cash flows from investing activities –Cash flows from financing activities The results of three sections are added together to compute the net increase or decrease in cash flow

26. 2-26 Concepts Behind the Statement of Cash Flows

27. 2-27 Determining Cash Flows from Operating Activities Translation of income from operations from an accrual to a cash basis Direct method –Every item on the income statement is adjusted from accrual to cash accounting Indirect method –Net income represents the starting point –Required adjustments are made to convert net income to cash flows from operations

28. 2-28 Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities (Indirect Method)

29. 2-29 Comparative Balance Sheets Table 2–6

30. 2-30 Cash Flows from Operating Activities

31. 2-31 Determining Cash Flows from Investing Activities Investing activities: –Long-term investment activities in mainly plant and equipment Increasing investments represent a use of funds Decreasing investments represent a source of funds

32. 2-32 Determining Cash Flows from Financing Activities Financial activities apply to the sale/retirement of: –Bonds –Common stock –Preferred stock –Other corporate securities –Payment of cash dividends Sale of firm’s securities is a source of funds Payment of dividends and repurchase of securities is a use of funds

33. 2-33 Overall Statement Combining the Three Sections

34. 2-34 Analysis of the Overall Statement How are increases in current assets being financed? Is there an associated buildup in current liabilities? How are increases in long-term assets being financed? Preferably, adequate long-term financing and profits should exist to finance long-term assets Short-term funds may be used to carry long-term needs – could be a potential high-risk situation as short-term sources of funds may dry up while long-term needs continue to demand funding

35. 2-35 Depreciation and Funds Flow Depreciation –A noncash expense –Not a ‘new’ source of funds –Added back to net income to determine amount of actual funds on hand –Attempt to allocate the initial cost of an asset over its useful life Charging of depreciation does not directly influence the movement of funds

36. 2-36 Comparison of Accounting and Cash Flows

37. 2-37 Free Cash Flow Free Cash Flow = Cash flow from operating activities – Capital expenditures – Dividends –Capital expenditures Maintain productive capacity of firm –Dividends Maintain necessary payout on common stock and to cover any preferred stock obligations Free cash flow is used for special financing activities –Example: leveraged buyouts

38. 2-38 Income Tax Considerations Corporate tax rates –Progressive: the top rate is 40% including state and foreign taxes if applicable. The lower bracket is 15–20% Cost of a tax-deductible expense - Interest, Travel expenditures, Salaries, etc. Corporation ACorporation B Earnings before interest and taxes………….$400,000$400,000 Interest…………………………………………… 100,000 0 _________ _________ Earnings before taxes (taxable income)…… 300,000 400,000 Taxes (40%)……………………………………… 120,000 160,000 _________ _________ Earnings after taxes…………………………… $180,000 $240,000 Difference in earnings after taxes……………$60,000
