1 Chapter 31 Financial Management in Not-for-Profit Businesses
2 Topics in Chapter For-profit (investor-owned) vs. not-forprofit businesses Goals of the firm
3 What are the key features of investor-owned firms? Owners (shareholders) are well defined, and they exercise control by voting for the firm s board of directors. Firm s residual earnings belong to the owners, so management is responsible to the owners for the firm s profitability. Firm is subject to taxation at the federal, state, and local levels.
4 What is a not-for-profit corporation? One that is organized and operated solely for religious, charitable, scientific, public safety, literary, or educational purposes. Generally, qualify for tax-exempt status.
5 Investor-Owned vs. Not-for- Profit Businesses Not-for-profit corporations have no shareholders, so all residual earnings are retained within the firm. Control of not-for-profit firms rests with a board of trustees composed mainly of community leaders who have no economic interests in the firm.
6 Goals for Investor-Owned and Not-for-Profit Businesses Because not-for-profit firms have no shareholders, they are not concerned with the goal of maximizing shareholder wealth. Goals of not-for-profit firms are outlined in the firm s mission statement. They generally relate to providing some socially valuable service in a financially sound manner.
7 Is the WACC relevant to notfor-profit businesses? Yes. The WACC estimation for not-forprofit firms parallels that for investorowned firms.
8 WACC for Investor-Owned and Not-for-Profit Businesses Because not-for-profit firms pay no taxes, there are no tax effects associated with debt financing. A not-for-profit firm s cost of equity, or cost of fund capital, is much more controversial than for an investorowned firm.
9 What is fund capital? Not-for-profit firms raise the equivalent of equity capital, called fund capital, by retaining profits, receiving government grants, and receiving private contributions.
10 How is the cost of fund capital estimated? The cost of fund capital is an opportunity cost to the not-for-profit firm. It is the return the firm could realize by investing the capital in securities of similar risk.
11 Trade-off Theory of Capital Structure and Not-for-Profits Not-for-profit firms optimal capital structures should be based on the tradeoffs between the benefits and costs of debt financing. Not-for-profit firms have about the same effective costs of debt and equity as investor-owned firms of similar risk. (More...)
12 The firm s opportunity cost of fund capital should rise as more and more debt is used, and the firm should be subject to the same financial distress and agency costs from using debt as encountered by investor-owned firms.
13 Asymmetric Information Theory and Not-for-Profits The asymmetric information theory is not applicable to not-for-profit firms, since they do not issue common stock.
14 Implementation Problems with the Trade-off Theory The major problem is their lack of flexibility in raising equity capital. Not-for-profit firms do not have access to the typical equity markets. It s harder for them to raise fund capital. It is often necessary for not-for-profit firms to delay worthy projects because of insufficient funding, or to use more than the theoretically optimal amount of debt.
15 Capital Budgeting for Not-for- Profits The financial impact of each capital investment should be fully understood in order to ensure the firm s long-term financial health. Substantial investment in unprofitable projects could lead to bankruptcy and closure, which obviously would eliminate the social value provided by the firm to the community.
16 What is social value? Social value are those benefits realized from capital investment in addition to cash flow returns, such as charity care and other community services.
17 NPV and Social Value When the social value of a project is considered, the total net present value of the project equals the standard net present value of the project s expected cash flow stream plus the net present social value of the project. This requires the social value of the project provided over its life to be quantified and discounted back to Year 0.
18 Project Risk and Not-for- Profits Corporate risk, or the additional risk a project adds to the overall riskiness of the firm s portfolio of projects, is the most relevant risk for a not-for-profit firm, since most not-for-profit firms offer a wide variety of products and services. (More...)
19 Stand-alone risk would be relevant only if the project were the only one the firm would be involved with. Market risk is not relevant at all, since not-for-profit firms do not have stockholders.
20 What is a corporate beta? A quantitative measure of corporate risk. Measures the volatility of returns on the project relative to the firm as a whole.
21 How does a corporate beta differ from a market beta? A project s market beta is a similar quantitative measure of a project s market risk, but it measures the volatility of project returns relative to market returns.
22 Measuring Project Risk at Notfor-Profits Not-for-profit firms often use the project s stand-alone risk, along with a subjective notion of how the project fits into the firm s other operations, as an estimate of corporate risk. Corporate risk and stand-alone risk tend to be highly correlated, since most projects under consideration tend to be in the same line of business as the firm s other operations.
23 What are municipal bonds? Bonds issued by state and local governments. Municipal bonds are exempt from federal income taxes and state income taxes in the state of issue.
24 Not-for-Profit Health Care and Municipal Bonds Not-for-profit firms cannot issue municipal bonds directly to investors. The bonds are issued through some municipal health facilities authority. The authority acts only as a conduit for the issuing corporation.
25 Credit Enhancement and the Cost of Debt Credit enhancement is, simply, bond insurance that guarantees the repayment of a municipal bond s principal and interest. When issuers purchase credit enhancement, the bond is rated on the basis of the insurer s financial strength rather than the issuer s. (More...)
26 Because credit enhancement raises the bond rating, interest costs are reduced. However, the issuer must bear the added cost of the bond insurance.
27 Sources of Fund Capital Excess of revenues over expenses Charitable contributions Government grants
28 Impact of Non-access to Equity Markets The lack of access to equity capital effectively imposes capital rationing, so the firm may not be able to under-take all projects deemed worthwhile. In order to invest in projects considered necessary, the firm may have to take on more than the optimal amount of debt capital.
29 Financial Analysis, Planning and Working Capital Management In general these tasks are the same regardless of the type of ownership. However, the unique features of notfor-profit organizations--especially the lack of financial flexibility--creates some minor differences in implementation.
