2 sory radoally lfe assurace comaes hae reored facal resuls o shareholders o he bass of he sauory requremes of he surace comaes' legslao. So he mos commo measure of a lfe surace comay's facal year was he sauory eargs from oerao. hs has bee a coee measure sce also rereses he amou of moey whch ca be ad o olcyholder or ad he form of ddeds. he major dsadaage of relyg uo sauory eargs as a measure of how well a comay s dog s ha sauory accoug eds o be desged o roec agas solecy ad herefore by s ery aure suffers from oer coserasm. Sauory eargs do o measure how well a comay s dog o a gog cocer bass. For eamle caal esed acqurg busess acquso eeses ad aluao sra s mmedaely wre off. Successful acquso of rofable ew busess resuls a mmedae loss followed by a subseque ehaced seres of rofs. Alhough suable for solecy esg he sauory aroach by chargg he caal cos of ew busess o reeue ad gorg he fuure surlus sream arbuable o ew busess fals o dslay ay accoug erod a meagful accou of he radg acy of ha erod. For mos roducs a slowdow sales wll resul a mmedae crease sauory eargs ad geerally mos would o regard a slowdow sales as beg a sg of a healhy comay! So s clear ha sauory eargs are he wrog mehod o measure he healh of he comay see for eamle Burrows ad Fces [3] Colls [7] ad he ublcao of Waso & Sos [24] Largely as a resul of he adequaces of sauory accoug US surers were requred by he Secures Echage Commsso he early 970 s o beg o reor eargs o shareholders o a Geerally Acceed Accoug Prcles GAAP bass see Garder [] ad Faga [0]. he major adaage of GAAP accoug s ha does aem o roduce eargs ha reflec how well or how badly he surace comay had erformed a form whch s useful o maageme. Wh GAAP geerally a crease sales wll o deress GAAP eargs o he same degree as would sauory eargs. Uforuaely because 00% of acquso coss are o deferred creased sales wll sll deress GAAP eargs o some ee. Addoally margs for coserasm are ormally roduced o he assumos ad GAAP mgh suffer from he loc- rcle. Oce assumos are se for a arcular geerao or brach of busess he assumos cao be chaged uless fuure losses are lely. Aoher major dsadaage of GAAP s ha GAAP eargs may ary sgfcaly bewee wo decal comaes deedg o he objeceess of maageme esablshg assumos. herefore oerall GAAP s o a good rogoscaor for how well a comay s dog. Durg he erods of flucuao eres raes whch occurred he US durg he md- 970 s ad early 980 s some US comaes bega o loo a cash flows as a measure of how well her comaes were dog. he real adaage of usg cash flows as a measureme ool s ha s he oly bass ha loos a real moey. Bu s really oly a mmedae solecy es. Cash flow s o a measure of how well a comay s dog.

Edowme surace C 00'000 α 4% o Caal β.5% o Premum γ 0.3% o Caal SM 978/83 4% P 3970 α 3.8% β % 6% 8% Ieres o e asses.5% γ 0.2% ae rae 0% he eres o e asses s he afer a esme reur eared by he asses ha suor shareholders e asses. I s o uusual for hs rae of reur o be subsaally below he reur eared o asses suorg surace lables because of asses allocao echques used by comaes. I s commo o assg o-eres-bearg asses or lower-yeldg asses o suor shareholders e asses ad o allow he hgher-yeldg asses o bac olcyholder lables. Before showg he chars we hae o oce ha we wll rese a rojeco of he aluao mehods. I realy hese mehods are calculaed each year wh he daa of ha year ad used o comare wh fgures of reous years. I our eamle we are eresed he deelome of he resuls hrough me ad he we suose ha we do o chage he assumos ha he assumos mach wh he realy ad ha here s o ew busess. Wh hese assumos he real rof equals he eeced rof. Soc rofle % We oce ha he rofle s decreasg. hs s because he aual rofs are early cosa ad he each year he soc has oe rof less because here s o ew busess. Embedded Value rofle 9

10 % Each year he Embedded Value creases because of he eres eared o e asses ad he aual rof Embedded Value adaages Embedded Value aes he fuure rofs of he Prof esg o accou ad he he alue s o oly flueced by he loss of he frs year. Embedded Value allows comarg facal resuls of dffere ds of aces. Vsual rereseao whch seems o be easy o udersad Embedded Value dsadaages Whou ublshg he assumos he resul of he mehod has o real sese. Rs Dscou Rae s o a geeral coce ad furhermore Embedded Value s esecally sese o Rs Dscou Rae. I radoal boo eeg we eer use hs rae. hs rae s oly used Prof esg ad Embedded Value. Embedded Value s sesy o Embedded Value 8% Embedded Value 0% Year 0 Embedded Value wh of 8% equals Embedded Value wh of 0% equals

11 3.2 Arasal Value Arasal Value s he eeso of he Embedded Value o he mare alue see Bager []. So o oba hs alue we hae o cosder he goodwll. Bu he goodwll s a subjece alue whch rereses he alue of he cles he fuure ew busess ec. So hs alue s ery dffcul o ealuae. Burrows ad Whehead [4] roose he followg formula: Arasal Value Embedded Value Goodwll 3.3 Value Added Value Added s a dyamc alue. I s he crease he Embedded Value bewee wo me erods. VA EV EV We saw ha he Embedded Value s he alue of he comay he Arasal Value s he mare alue of he comay ad ow we see he Value Added whch s a dyamc measure cosdered o show how well he comay s dog durg a secfed erod see for eamle Burrows ad Fces [3] ad Merda [9]. We wll use ow oly Embedded Value because Arasal Value s more comlcaed o alue because of he goodwll. Bu of course hs mehod ad he followg ca also be calculaed wh Arasal Value. o llusrae he Value Added we ca ae he followg eamle. Suose ha a comay has 00 of equy ad es eeryhg ew busess we could hae for eamle: Begg of year Ed of year Ne asses 00 0 Busess force 0 5 Value Added Prof ad loss accou could hae show a loss of 00. hrough hs eamle we oce ha he Value Added seems o be more able o show he rofably ha he sauory rofs.

12 3.3. Numercal eamle Value Added rofle 60 8% Frs year he Value Added s esecally hgh because he comay sells a rofable roduc a hs me. Aferwards here s o ew busess ad he Value Added decreases. Comarso bewee Value Added ad sauory eargs: % Sauory eargs Value Added hs grah s ery eresg because we ca see he dfferece bewee Value Added ad sauory eargs. I hs eamle he wo mehods behae comleely dfferely. he sauory eargs show frs a loss followed by a seres of gas ad he Value Added shows frs a ga followed by a seres of smaller gas. he Value Added seems much more able o show rofably ha he sauory eargs. 2

RR VA D C EV where D shareholders ddeds a he ed of me C shareholders corbuos a he ed of me I s ecessary o do correcos for ddeds ad shareholder corbuo because he Embedded Value s chaged by hese alues. Whe dded s ad he e asses decrease ad he Embedded Value oo. he shareholder s ew s ha he recees dded ad he Value Added. he we hae o ae accou of he dded he oal Rae of Reur.

For eamle oe could say e year we hae o reach a oal Rae of Reur equal o he Rs Dscou Rae. 5

16 4 Crcal Aroach Ul ow we hae see he aluao mehods. Eeryhg seems o be smle ad we are able o show he rofably of a comay. Bu some asecs of hese mehods could be crcsed. I hs chaer all he umercal eamles are based o he daa ge he aee "Numercal alcao 2". 4. he roblem he resuls of he aluao mehods deed o he model ad he arameers le he reur o esme he bes esmae moraly ec. hese mehods use always he mea of fuure rss. So he adaage s o oba a uque alue bu he dsadaage s o hde he flucuaos. I realy he flucuaos are due o he model he radomess ad he uceray. o choose a model wh a ew o coceualsg real heomea s a smle aroach whch cao reflec eacly he realy. he radomess s he uforeseeably of ees whch follow a robably fuco. Ee whe we erfecly ow he robably law he effece realsao of he ees cao be deermed. I our model arcular he radomess corresods o he flucuaos of he reur o esme ad he flucuaos of he real umber of deahs. he esmaos we calculae oday are oly mea alue of fuure realsao. he uceray comes from he merfec owledge of he arameers ad her ossble eoluo hrough he me. For eamle we do o ow eacly he real amou of eeses ad hs amou ca follow a fuure ueeced eoluo. Besdes hese flucuaos roblems here s a erreao roblem. he Value Added ad he oal Rae of Reur are ofe cosdered as rofably ools ee hough hese mehods ca ge a false sgal o he rofably of he comay. o dscuss hs erreao roblem we ae he followg umercal eamle Edowme surace Caal 00'000 α 5% o Caal γ 0.4% o Caal β cluded γ SM 988/93 4% P 332 α 5800 Muao eeses 333 8% Ieres o e asses.5% γ 80 6% ae rae 0% We wll use wo secal cases as follows: A rofable case: Prooro of rof reaed 3% A o rofable case: Prooro of rof reaed 5% he rooro of rof reaed s he erceage of rof ha he surace comay was o ee. hs meas he ar whch s o dsrbued o he sured. Le us see ow he chars hese wo cases. 6

17 Value Added Profable case No-rofable case he frs year loos sesble here s o erreao roblem. he surace comay sells a rofable corac whch creases he alue of he comay he frs case. I he secod case he corac s o-rofable ad he alue of he comay decreases. Secod year ad laer. For he frs case we do o oce ay roblem. he Value Added decreases because he comay does o sell ay oher corac. I he secod case he comay does o sell ay oher corac ad he Value Added s ose alhough had sold reously a o-rofable corac. he se esecally bewee he frs ad he secod year s o easy o udersad for he urose of rofably.

I order o udersad wha haes le us aalyse he fgures of he Value Added. 7

18 Profable case Ieres o e asses Corbuo from force busess Corbuo from ew busess Caal adjusme dded Value Added No-rofable case Ieres o e asses Corbuo from force busess Corbuo from ew busess Caal adjusme dded Value Added For he frs year here s o erreao roblem. he dfferece comes from he ew busess ose for he rofable case ad egae for he o-rofable case. For he secod year we hae a erreao roblem. Le us aalyse each comoe of he Value Added: -Ieres o e asses s he same because bous begs oly he hrd year our eamle. -Corbuo from ew busess s he same because we do o sell ay ew coracs. -Caal adjusme s he same because we do o ge ay bous before he hrd year. -he dfferece comes from he corbuo from force busess. Wha s surrsg s ha he o-rofable case hs corbuo s ose ad hs s le a reur effecely he calculao. ha s why he Value Added s ose he o-rofable case. Fally he roblem of erreao s due o he corbuo from force busess ad more esecally o he Rs Dscou Rae. Le us see ow he fluece of Rs Dscou Rae o Value Added Profable case wh 8% Profable case wh 9% he Rs Dscou Rae s a requreme of reur he frs year bu aferwards hs rae becomes a reur o he soc. Afer he frs year he Value Added calculaed wh a of 9% s hgher ha wh a of 8%. hs s really he source of he erreao roblem. 4.2 hree ds of aluao We hae o adm ha he Value Added ad he oal Rae of Reur are o able o show drecly he rofably of he comay. Bu he erreao roblem dsaears f we use he aluao mehods he correc coe. 8

Value of a comay Of course he alue of a comay s drecly ge by Embedded Value or Arasal Value Icrease he alue of a comay For measurg he crease he alue of a comay we hae o aalyse he Value Added ad s comoes eres o e asses corbuo from force busess corbuo from ew busess caal adjusmes chage of assumos ad emergece of acual eerece ad he oal Rae of Reur.

I our reous eamle dese he fac ha he coracs sold do o mee he crera of Ieral Rae of Reur he reur s ose bu smaller ha he Rs Dscou Rae. ha s why he comay creases s alue wh hs roduc Profably of a comay he roblem of erreao comes also because we do o hae a clear defo of rofably. We wll use he followg defo of rofably. I our coe he rofably s he measure of he acy of a comay coeco wh he ew busess ealuaed hrough he fuure rofs eeced o emerge from he ew busess durg a secfed erod of me. Whe we are eresed he rofably of a surace comay seems o be logcal o be esecally eresed he ew busess creaed durg he secfed erod of me. I our coe we ca aalyse he Ieral Rae of Reur of he ew busess ad s NPV. We ca he hae he followg coclusos: IRR NPV of ew busess Cocluso > >0 Am of reur reached 0<IRR< <0 Am o reached bu ose reur <0 <0 Loss 4.3 Fal remars abou crcal aroach We hae see ha he Value Added ad he oal Rae of Reur cao be drecly cosdered as ools for measurg he rofably. We hae see ha he aluao mehods mus be used he rgh coe. We hae o use he comoes of he Value Added. hs s 9

20 why we hae defed wha we call alue crease of he alue ad rofably of a surace comay or a rof cere. I our coe we ge a defo of rofably. We hae o foud ay ew mehod we jus ela ha he aluao mehods do o always drecly ge he rgh aswer ad ha we hae o use he rgh coe. 5 Sesy Aalyss As we hae already see he resuls of he aluao mehods deed o he model ad he arameers le he reur o esme he bes esmae moraly ec. hese mehods use always he mea of fuure rss. So he adaage s o oba a uque alue bu he dsadaage s o hde he flucuaos. I realy he flucuaos are due o he model he radomess ad he uceray. he uceray comes from he merfec owledge of he arameers ad her ossble eoluo hrough he me. For eamle we do o ow eacly he real amou of eeses ad hs amou ca follow a ueeced fuure eoluo. 5. Aroach he sesy aalyss s used o aalyse he fluece of he uceray he arameers' alues. For hs urose we creae some scearos wh omsc ad essmsc alues of arameers. We suose ha cera rages of arameer alue are ossble ad we es he reacos of he resul of he mehod wh hose modfcaos of arameer alue see Leasseur ad Quar [8] ad Sharo [20]. wo ways are ossble he successe sesy aalyss ad he smulaeous sesy aalyss.
