• Thus, the condition for value creation is not growth but rather the
company’s ability to generate a ROIC that exceeds its cost of capital

• EV is thus the present value of the future operating cash flows generated by the firm’s operating
assets (FA+NWCR) discounted at the appropriate wacc; this is why EV = Net Debt + Equity
• Annually, the firm’s operating income (after taxes) must be sufficient to pay for the cost of funding
the company’s operating assets
• Value is only generated, on a yearly basis, if the return generated by these assets is higther than the
cost of funding them

time
Company sets us working capital to alternate periods on negative and positive treasury. At the bottom
of the NWCR cycle, long term-funding is excessive for NWCR needs and the company has zero ST
bank borrowings. At the top of the NWCR cycle the company partially finances temporary NWCR with
ST debt

With this policy the company agrees with its banks to use flexible short term bank borrowings such
as credit lines that allow it to borrow up to a certain maximum amount, to withdraw money or repay
debt as needed, paying interest only on the outstanding balance plus a fee.

time
Maintaining the original financial policy requires the firm to make long term funds to grow in line with the capital
employed in fixed assets and NWCR
That may imply dividend limitations, raising new long term loans and even new equity (in order to keep the ability to
raise new debt and maintain overall financing risk)

time
If long term funds do not accompany the evolution of long-term capital employed, then working capital declines
by the time until becoming negative. The company’s financial ratios deteriorate (leverage and liquidity) making it
more difficult and expensive to raise new short term debt. One day, the company’s ability to borrow stops and a
liquidity crisis may become inevitable.
