Liabilities and Shareholders equity Financial Resources Where does the money come from? Total Assets Liabilities + Shareholders equity 2
The Balance Sheet: a reminder A condensed presentation of the Balance Sheet Assets Liabilities and Shareholders equity Long-lived Assets Assets (physical or intangible) that produce benefits for more than one year Shareholders equity Investment of Shareholders and accumulated reinvested profits Inventories Accounts receivable Cash and marketable securities Items held for sale or used in the manufacture of products that will be sold amounts owed to the firm by customers who have purchased on credit short-term investments easily sold and converted to cash Long-Term Financial Debt Short-Term Financial Debt Accounts Payable Loan or debt obligation with maturities beyond one year Loan that must be repaid in one year Amounts owed to suppliers purchases made on credit.. Total Assets Liabilities + Shareholders equity 3 The Balance Sheet date can be crucial!!!! Lists the firm s assets and liabilities Provides a snapshot of the firm s financial position at a given point in time. The Balance sheet does not reflect the firm s financial position during the year The fiscal year may differ from one country to another 4
The Balance Sheet date can be crucial!!!! Lists the firm s assets and liabilities Provides a snapshot of the firm s financial position at a given point in time. The Balance sheet does not reflect the firm s financial position during the year The fiscal year may differ from one country to another Seasonality factor The example of the LEGO Toy company 80% of Lego s annual sales occur between September and December. What could be the impact of the seasonality factor on some of the components of the Balance Sheet? 5 The Balance Sheet and the Industry Example : the industry is critical Assets 1 2 3 Intangible assets 2 853 2 050 36 084 Tangible fixed assets 19 765 112 426 294 487 Financial assets 40 263 63 478 294 755 Fixed assets 62 881 177 954 625 326 Inventory 1 230 196 036 443 397 Accounts receivable 112 686 175 451 135 238 Cash and cash equivalents 6 590 181 773 1 032 364 TOTAL ASSETS 194 596 731 214 2 236 326 Liabilities and Equity 1 2 3 Shareholders Equity 150 054 360 111 893 324 Long-term debt 369 41 137 416 912 Accounts payable 201 809 198 738 1 050 157 Short term debt 860 131 228 0 TOTAL LIABILITIES 194 596 731 214 2 236 326 EUROPAGES (produces agendas and office supplies based on paper) RFM (a network radio) TOUTCONFORT (an electrical goods retailer ) 6
The Balance Sheet and the Industry Example : the business model has major implications on the relevant items in the balance sheet 7 The Balance Sheet: the traditional accounting form Example: JIT : Just-In-Time Computer Services Consolidated Statements of Financial Position Prepared According to IFRS in millions Assets Year 2 Year 1 Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity Year 2 Year 1 Goodwill 0,0 0,0 Intellectual property rights, brands and other intangible assets 41,0 14,0 Net Property, Plant and Equipment 78,7 66,9 Financial Assets (Equity in Joint ventures, investments in shares and participations, deferred tax assets, etc.) 1,0 0,0 Total Shareholders' Equity 32,2 31,2 Long-term financial debt 106,0 61,8 Total non-current assets 120,7 80,9 Non-current liabilities 106,0 61,8 Inventories 15,3 14,3 Accounts receivables 18,5 13,2 Other current assets 0,0 0,0 Short-term financial debt 9,0 11,0 Accounts payable 30,5 24,9 Asset liquidity Short-term investments 2,0 1,0 Cash and cash equivalents 21,2 19,5 Current liabilities 39,5 35,9 Maturity dates Total current assets 57,0 48,0 TOTAL NET ASSETS 177,7 128,9 TOTAL LIABILITIES AND EQUITY 177,7 128,9 8
Assets Liabilities Shareholders Equity 32 Fixed Assets 121 WCN = Inventory + Accounts receivable Accounts Payable Current Assets: Inventory Accounts receivable 34 Long-Term Financial Debt Current Liabilities Accounts Payable 106 31 Net Fin. Debt = Financial Debt LT & ST Cash & short-term investments Cash & short-term investments 23 Short Term Financial Debt 9 9 Working capital needs of JIT Computer services Year 1: WC = Year 2: WC = 15.3 M + 18.5M (29.9 + 0.6) = 3.3 millions Working Capital Needs in days worth of sales Year 1 Year 2 Inventory (Days of sales) 30 30 + Accounts Receivable (Days of sales) 27 36 - Accounts Payable (Days of sales) 52 60 Working Capital Needs (Days of sales) 5 6 10
The rationale behind using Net Debt rather than Gross debt Analyzing financial debt Risk of default Autonomy/independence of the management vs pressure/intervention of creditors Firm 1 Firm 2 Gross fin debt 100 M 100 M Cash 20 M 100 M Net debt +80 M 0 M 11 Shareholders Equity 32 Fixed Assets 121 Net Financial Debt 92 Working Capital 3 Capital Employed 124 Invested Capital 124 The financial simplified presentation of the balance sheet 12
Capital Employed vs Invested Capital Total assets do not reflect necessarily the economic real value of the firm Capital Employed (or Operating Assets) is a better indicator than Total Assets Capital Employed = Invested Capital Fixed Assets + Working Capital = Shareholders Equity + Net Fin. Debt Shareholders Equity 32 Capital Employed Fixed Assets 121 Net Financial Debt 92 Invested Capital Working Capital 3 Quick Check Question : Calculate capital employed of JIT Company (What does the money spent on)? N+1 N Fixed Assets 120,7 80,9 Working Capital 3,3 2,6 Capital Employed 124,0 83,5 N+1 N Shareholders' Equity 32,2 31,2 Net Financial Debt 91,8 52,3 Invested Capital 124,0 83,5 13 Book Value or Market Value of a firm s equity? The two most important things in any company do not appear in its balance sheet: its reputation and its people Henry Ford 14
Book Value or Market Value of a firm s equity? The book value of a firm s equity: a reminder Shareholders equity = Total assets - Liabilities An accounting measure of a shareholder s net worth The book value of a firm s equity is not a good estimate of its true value Many of the assets listed on the balance sheet are valued based on their historical cost rather than their true value today Example: the value of an office building Many of the firm s valuable assets may not be captured on the balance sheet Example: the expertise of the firm s employees, the firm s reputation in the marketplace, the relationships with customers and suppliers, etc. The book value of a firm s equity could possibly be negative 15 Book Value or Market Value? Negative book value of Shareholders equity 16
Book Value or Market Value? Negative book value of Shareholders equity 17 Book Value or Market Value of a firm s equity? Traditional Accounting: Book value = Historical cost depreciation Problems: Historical cost current cost or value Depreciation value loss To make a long story short From a valuation perspective, book values are almost meaningless, except in a liquidation context New approach (IFRS): Book value = Faire Value Problems: Fair value often impossible to define or arbitrary Frequent Fluctuations should be interpreted with caution 18
The Market Value: an accurate assessment of the fair value The market value of a firm s equity: a company s Market Capitalization Market Capitalization = Market Price per Share x Number of Shares Outstanding Cannot be negative Does not depend on historical cost of assets Often differs substantially from book value It depends on what investors expect those assets to produce in the future Quick Check Question : On December 31, JIT had 3.6 million shares outstanding, and these shares are trading for a price of 14 per share. what was the JIT s market capitalization? How does the market capitalization compare to book value of equity? JIT s Market Cap = The book value of equity = 19 The Market-to-book ratio (or Price-to-Book Ratio (PBR)) The ratio of a firm s market capitalization to the book value of stockholders equity: Market Value of Equity Market - to - Book Ratio = Book Value of Equity M/B Ratio > 1 The market value of the firm s assets exceeds their historical cost (or liquidation value) Quick Check Question : Compute the Market-to-book ratio of JIT Company? 50.4 Market - to - Book Ratio = = 1.5 32.2 Investors are willing to pay one and a half times the book value of JIT s shares 20

Pearson Value stocks (low M/B ratios) vs growth stocks (high M/B ratios) 21 The enterprise Value Versus Market Capitalization Capital Employed (= Shareholders Equity + Net Financial Debt) is a good estimate of a firm s value Market value of Capital Employed = Market value of Equity + Net Financial Debt Enterprise Value = Market cap + Debt - Cash Quick Check Question : JIT s Market Cap = 50.4 million. What was the JIT s Enterprise Value in N+1? Enterprise Value = It would cost 142.4 million to buy all of JIT s equity and pay off its debt 22

Asset Structure Ratios and Capital Structure Ratios What can we learn from analyzing a firm s balance sheet (book value)? Estimate the liquidation value : the value of the firm after its assets are sold and liabilities paid Useful information on : How the firm uses its money? The ratio of fixed assets, the ratio of current assets, liquidity of assets, etc. How the money is raised? Leverage, borrowing capacity, short-term cash needs, etc. 27 Asset Structure Ratios: How the firm uses its money? Used to assess the weight of each asset in the operating activity Asset (i) Assets Structure Ratios = Total Assets Example of Just-In-Time Company N+1 N Accounting approach Fixed Assets Ratio = Inventory Ratio = Fixed Assets Total Assets Inventory Total Assets Receivable Receivable Ratio = Total Assets Cash Cash Ratio = Total Assets 67,9% 62,8% 8,6% 11,1% 10,4% 10,2% 13,1% 15,9% Fixed assets (I) 120,7 80,9 Financial approach Working Capital (II) 3,3 2,6 Capital Employed (I+II) 124,0 83,5 28

Used to assess the weight of the debt as a source of financing Indicate the level of dependence vis-à-vis of creditors Accounting approach Example of Just-In-Time Company N+1 N Net Debt Leverage (gearing) Ratio = Debt - Equity Ratio = Total Equity Net Debt Debt - to - Capital Ratio = Net Debt + Total Equity Long term Debt Ratio = Short term Debt Ratio = Payable Ratio = Long term Debt Total Liabilities Short term Debt Total Liabilities Payable Total Liabilities 285,1% 167,6% 74,0% 62,6% 72,9% 63,3% 6,2% 11,3% 21,0% 25,5% Financial approach Shareholders' Equity Net Fin. Debt = Financial Debt - Cash & Short term Investments Capital invested = Shareholders' Equity + Net Debt 32,2 31,2 91,8 52,3 124,0 83,5 30
Capital Structure ratios: Where does the money come from? Financial leverage may increase because of a decrease in shareholder equity Example: Carrefour 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 Financial Leverage 604,4% 689,1% 746,8% 841,5% 614,4% Debt-to-capital ratio 85,8% 87,3% 88,2% 89,4% 86,0% Long-term debt / Total Liabilities 24,2% 27,4% 29,6% 22,8% 22,7% Short-term debt / Total Liabilities 15,7% 14,0% 14,3% 5,5% 6,4% Accounts payable / Total Liabilities 38,5% 37,9% 34,9% 38,8% 39,7% Shareholders' Equity 9191 7925 7181 6618 9584 Net Financial Debt 55552 54614 53624 55693 58887 Invested Capital 64743 62539 60805 62311 68471 The significant fall in equity between 2010 and 2011 (-31%) is due to the distribution of Dia shares, which reduced shareholder s equity by 2.2B and the payment of 0.8B in cash dividends 31 Leverage Ratio: book value or market value? Because of the difficulty interpreting the book value of equity Example: Domino s Pizza has, based on the strength of its cash flow, consistently borrowed in excess of the book value of its assets. In 2012, it had debt of $ 1.6 billion, with a total book value of assets of only $ 600 million and an equity book value of -$ 1.4 billion it is more informative to compare the firm s debt to the market value of its equity 32
Concept Check and Critical Thinking 1. What is depreciation designed to capture? 2. The book value of a company s assets usually does not equal the market value of those assets. What are some reasons for this difference? 3. What does a high debt-to-equity ratio tell you? 4. What is a firm s enterprise value? 33
