Introduction
Use the balance sheet to describe a firms
investments in assets and the way it has
financed them.

3-4
Principles Used in This Chapter

Principle 1: Money Has a Time Value.


We need to recognize that financial statements
do not adjust for time value of money.

Principles Used in This Chapter
(cont.)
Principle 3: Cash Flows Are the Source of
Value.
Financial statements provide an important
starting point in determining the firms cash
flow.
We should be able to distinguish between
reported earnings and cash flow. It is possible
for a firm to report positive earnings but have
no cash!

Principles Used in This Chapter
(cont.)
Principle 4: Market Prices Reflect
Information.
Firms financial statements provide important
information that is used by investors in forming
expectations about firms future prospects and
subsequently, the market prices.

3.1 An Overview
of the Firms
Financial
Statements

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


Basic Financial Statements

Following four types of financial statements


are mandated by the accounting and
financial regulatory authorities:
1. Income statement
2. Balance sheet
3. Cash flow statement
4. Statement of shareholders equity

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-9
Basic Financial Statements (cont.)

1. Income Statement:
An income statement provides the following
information for a specific period of time (for
example, a year or 6 months or 3 months):
Revenue,
Expenses, and
Profit.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-10
Basic Financial Statements (cont.)

2. Balance sheet:
Balance sheet provides a snap shot of the
following on a specific date (for example, as of
December 31, 2010)
Assets (value of what the firm owns),
Liabilities (value of firms debts), and
Shareholders equity (the money invested by the
company owners).

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-11
Basic Financial Statements (cont.)

3. Cash flow statement:


It reports cash received and cash spent by the
firm over a period of time (for example, over
the last 6 months).

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-12
Basic Financial Statements (cont.)

4. Statement of shareholders equity:


It provides a detailed account of the firms
activities in the following accounts over a
period of time (for example, last six months):
Common stock account,
Preferred stock account,
Retained earnings account, and
Changes to owners equity.

What is the Focus of this Chapter?

Discuss the basic Content and Format of:


Income statement,
Balance sheet, and
Cash flow statement

3-14
Why Study Financial Statements?
Analyzing a firms financial statement can help
managers carry out three important tasks:
1. Assess current performance through financial
statement analysis,
2. Monitor and control operations, and
3. Forecast future performance.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-15
Why Study Financial Statements?
(cont.)
1. Financial statement analysis:
Financial statement analysis allows us to
assess the present financial condition of a
firm.
Chapter 4 introduces the tools and techniques
used to carry out financial statement analysis.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-16
Why Study Financial Statements?
(cont.)
2. Financial control:
Financial statements are used by both insiders
(such as managers, board of directors) and
outsiders (such as suppliers, creditors) to
monitor and control the firms operations.
For example, a creditor may analyze a firms
financial statements to decide whether or not
to renew companys loan.

3-17
Why Study Financial Statements?
(cont.)
3. Financial forecasting and planning:
Financial planning models are typically built
using the financial statements.
Financial planning is covered in chapter 17.

3-18
What are the Accounting Principles Used
to Prepare Financial Statements?

The following three fundamental principles are


adhered to by accountants when preparing
financial statements:
1. The revenue recognition principle,
2. The matching principle, and
3. The historical cost principle.
An understanding of these basic principles allows
us to be a more informed user of financial
statements.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-19
What are the Accounting Principles Used
to Prepare Financial Statements? (cont.)

1. The revenue recognition principle:


It states that the revenue should be included
in the firms income statement for the period
in which:
Its goods and services were exchanged for
cash or accounts receivable; or
The firm has completed what it must do to
be entitled to the cash.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-20
What are the Accounting Principles Used
to Prepare Financial Statements? (cont.)

2. The matching principle:


This principle determines whether specific costs
or expenses can be attributed to this periods
revenues.
The expenses are matched with the revenues
they helped produce.
For example, employees salaries are recognized
when the product produced as a result of that work is
sold, and not when the wages were paid.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-21
What are the Accounting Principles Used
to Prepare Financial Statements? (cont.)

3. The historical cost principle:


This principle provides the basis for
determining the dollar values the firm reports
in its balance sheet.
Most assets and liabilities are reported in the
firms financial statements at historical cost i.e.
the price the firm paid to acquire them. The
historical cost generally does not equal the
current market value of the assets or liabilities.

3.2 The Income
Statement

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


An Income Statement

An income statement is also called a profit


and loss statement.

An income statement measures the


amount of profits generated by a firm over
a given time period (usually a year or a
quarter).

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-24
An Income Statement (cont.)

Income statement can be expressed as


follows:

Revenues (or Sales) Expenses = Profits

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-25
An Income Statement (cont.)
An income statement will contain the
following basic elements:
1. Revenues
2. Expenses
Cost of goods sold, Interest expenses, SGA (selling,
general and administrative) expense, depreciation
expense, Income tax expense
3. Profits
Gross profit, net operating income (also known as
EBIT), earnings before taxes (EBT), and net income

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-26
An Income Statement (cont.)
Sales
Minus Cost of Goods Sold
= Gross Profit
Minus Operating Expenses
Selling expenses
General and Administrative expenses
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
= Operating income (EBIT)
Minus Interest Expense
= Earnings before taxes (EBT)
Minus Income taxes
= Net income (EAT)

EBIT = Earnings before interest and taxes; EBT = Earnings before taxes;
EAT = Earnings after taxes

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-27
Sample Income Statement

3-28
Evaluating a Firms EPS and
Dividends
We can use the income statement to
determine the earnings per share (EPS)
and dividends.
EPS = Net income Number of shares
outstanding

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-29
Evaluating a Firms EPS and
Dividends (cont.)
Example 1: A firm reports a net income
$90 million and has 35 million shares
outstanding, what will be the earnings per
share (EPS)?

EPS = Net income Number of shares


= $90 million $35 million
= $2.57

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-30
Evaluating a Firms EPS and
Dividends (cont.)
We can determine the dividends paid by
the firm to each shareholder by dividing
the total amount of dividend (reported on
the income statement) by the total number
of shares outstanding.

Dividends per share = Net income


Number of shares

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-31
Evaluating a Firms EPS and
Dividends (cont.)
Example 2: A firm reports dividend payment
of $20 million on its income statement and
has 35 million shares outstanding. What will
be the dividends per share?

Dividends per share = Net income


Number of shares
= $20 million $35 million
= $0.57

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-32
Connecting the Income Statement
and the Balance Sheet
What can the firm do with the net
income?:
1. Pay dividends to shareholders, and/or
2. Reinvest in the firm

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-33
Connecting the Income Statement
and the Balance Sheet (cont.)
Example 3: Review examples 1 & 2. How
much was retained or reinvested by the
firm?
Amount retained = Net Income
Dividends
= $90m - $20m = $70m
The firms balance on retained earnings will
increase by $70 million on the balance
sheet.

3-34
Interpreting Firm Profitability using
the Income Statement
What can we learn from H.J. Boswell Inc.s
income statement (Table 3-1)?

1. The firm has been profitable as its revenues


exceeded its expenses.

3-35
Interpreting Firm Profitability using
the Income Statement (cont.)
2. The gross profit margin (GPM)
= gross profits sales
= $675 million $2,700 million
= 25%

GPM indicates the firms mark-up on its cost of


goods sold per dollar of sales.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-36
Interpreting Firm Profitability using
the Income Statement (cont.)
3. The operating profit margin
= net operating income sales
= $382.5 million $2,700 million
= 14.17%

The operating profit margin is equal to the ratio


of net operating income or EBIT divided by firms
sales.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-37
Interpreting Firm Profitability using
the Income Statement (cont.)
Net profit margin:
= net profits sales
= $204.75 million $2,700 million
= 7.58%

Net profit margin indicates the percentage of


revenues left after all expenses (including
interest and taxes) have been considered.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-38
Interpreting Firm Profitability using
the Income Statement (cont.)
These profit margins (gross profit margin,
operating profit margin, and net profit
margin) should be closely monitored and
compared to previous years and those of
competing firms.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-39
GAAP and Earnings Management

While the firms must adhere to set of


accounting principles, GAAP (Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles), there is
considerable room for managers to
influence the firms reported earnings.
Managers have an incentive to tamper with
reported earnings as their pay depends
upon it and investors care about it.

Checkpoint 3.1

Constructing an Income Statement


Use the following information to construct an income statement for
Gap, Inc. (GPS). The Gap is a specialty retailing company that sells
clothing, accessories, and personal care products under the Gap, Old
Navy, Banana Republic, Piperlime, and Athleta brand names. Use the
scrambled information below to calculate the firms gross profits,
operating income, and net income for the year ended January 31,
2009. Calculate the firms earnings per share and dividends per share.

Checkpoint 3.1: Check Yourself

Reconstruct the Gaps income statement assuming the firm is


able to cut its cost of goods sold by 10% and where the firm
pays taxes at 40% tax rate. What is the firms net income and
earnings per share?

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-44
Step 1: Picture the Problem
The income statement can be expressed as
follows:
Revenues Expenses = Net Income

The template on the next slide can be used to


solve the equation.
We are given information on revenues and
expenses (cost of goods sold, operating expenses,
interest expense and income taxes) to fill the
template.

3-49
Step 4: Analyze

The firm is profitable since it earned net


income of $1,472,940,000.

The shareholders were able be earn $2.06


per share. However, the dividends per
share were only $0.34 indicating that the
difference of $1.72 was reinvested in the
corporation.

3.3 Corporate
Taxes

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


Corporate Taxes

A firms income tax liability is calculated


using its taxable income and the tax rates
on corporate income.

See the table on next slide for corporate


tax rates.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-52
Corporate tax rates

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-53
Corporate tax rates

The table reveals the following:


Tax rates range from 15% to 39%
Tax rates are progressive i.e. larger
corporations with higher profits will tend to pay
more taxes compared to smaller firms with
lower profits.

Note: In addition to federal taxes, a firm may


face State and City taxes.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-54
Marginal and Average Tax Rates

While analyzing the tax consequences of a


new business venture, the appropriate tax
rate is the marginal tax rate.
Marginal tax rate is the tax rate that the
company will pay on its next dollar of
taxable income.
Average tax rate is total taxes paid
divided by the taxable income.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-55
Marginal and Average Tax Rates

Example 3: What is the average and


marginal tax liability for a firm reporting
$100,000 as taxable income.

3-56
Marginal and Average Tax Rates

Average tax rate


= Total tax liability Total taxable income
= $22,250 $100,000
= 22.25%
Marginal tax rate
= 39% as the firm will have to pay 39% on its
next dollar of taxable income i.e. if its taxable
income increases from $100,000 to $100,001.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-57
Dividend Exclusion for Corporate
Shareholders
The dividend received by corporate
stockholders are partially exempt from
taxation. The rationale is to avoid double
taxation at the corporate level. The
percentage of exempt taxes is based on
the degree of ownership of the firm.
Note dividends for non-corporate
investors, like you and me, are not exempt
from taxation they are actually, double-
taxed.

Dividend Exclusion for Corporate
Shareholders
Example 4
What will be the taxable income if firm ABC
receives $200,000 in dividends from firm XYZ.

3.4 The Balance
Sheet

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


The Balance Sheet

The balance sheet provides a snapshot of


the firms financial position on a specific
date.

The balance sheet is defined by the


following equation:
Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Shareholders Equity

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-62
The Balance Sheet (cont.)

Total assets represents the resources


owned by the firm.
Total liabilities represent the total
amount of money the firm owes its
creditors
Total shareholders equity refers to the
difference in the value of the firms total
assets and the firms total liabilities.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-63
The Balance Sheet (cont.)

In general, GAAP requires that the firm


report assets on its balance sheet using
the historical costs.
Cash and assets held for sale (such as
marketable securities) are an exception to
the rule. These assets are reported using
the lower of their cost or current market
value.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-64
The Balance Sheet (cont.)

Assets whose value is expected to decline


over time (such as equipment) is reported
as net equipment which is equal to the
historical cost minus accumulated
depreciation.
Note, the net value reported on balance
sheet could be significantly different from
the market value of the asset.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-65
The Balance
Sheet (cont.)

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-66
The Balance Sheet (cont.)

The balance sheet includes the following


main components:
1.Assets Found on the left-hand side of
the balance sheet. It includes current
assets and fixed assets.
2.Sources of financing Found on the
right-hand side of the balance sheet. It
includes current liabilities, long-term
liabilities, and owners equity.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-67
The Balance Sheet (cont.)

Current assets consists of firms cash


plus other assets the firm expects to
convert to cash within 12 months or less,
such as receivables and inventory.

Fixed assets are assets that the firm


does not expect to sell within one year. For
example, plant and equipment, land.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-68
The Balance Sheet (cont.)

Current liabilities represent the amount


that the firm owes to creditors that must
be repaid within a period of 12 months or
less such as accounts payable, notes
payable.

Long-term liabilities refer to debt with


maturities longer than a year such as bank
loans, bonds.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-69
The Balance Sheet (cont.)

The stockholders equity is broken down


into two components:
(1) The amount the company received from selling
stock to investors. It may be shown as common
stock in the balance sheet or it may be divided
into two components: par value and additional
paid in capital above par. Par value is the stated or
face value a firm puts on each share of stock. Paid in
capital is the additional amount the firm raised when it sold
the shares.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-70
The Balance Sheet (cont.)

For example, DLK corporations par value


per share is $2.00 and the firm has 30
million shares outstanding such that the
par value of the firms common equity is
$60 million. If the stocks were issued to
investors for $240 million, $180 million
represents paid in capital.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-71
The Balance Sheet (cont.)

(2) The amount of the firms retained


earnings. Retained earnings are the
portion of net income that has been
retained (i.e. not paid in dividends) from
prior years operations.

Thus stockholders equity


= Par value of common stock + Paid in
Capital + Retained Earnings

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-72
The Balance Sheet (cont.)

We can also express stockholders equity


as follows:

Shareholders' equity = Total Assets Total


Liabilities

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-73
Firm Liquidity and Net Working
Capital
Liquidity refers to the speed with which
an the asset can be converted to cash
without loss of value.

For example, a firms bank account is


perfectly liquid. Other types of assets are
less liquid as they more difficult to sell and
convert to cash such as PPE (property,
plant and equipment).

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-74
Firm Liquidity and Net Working
Capital
For the overall firm, liquidity generally
refers to the firms ability to covert its
current assts (accounts receivable and
inventories) into cash so that it can pay its
bills (current liabilities) on time.
We can thus measure a firms liquidity by
computing the net working capital =
current assets current liabilities

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-75
Firm Liquidity and Net Working
Capital (cont.)
If a firms net working capital is
significantly positive, it is in a good
position to pay its debts on time and is
consequently very liquid.

Lenders consider the net working capital as


an important indicator of firms ability to
repay its loans.

Step 4: Analyze
We can make the following observations from
Gaps Balance sheet:
The total assets of $6,564,000,000 is financed
by a combination of current liabilities, long-
term liabilities and owners equity. Owners
equity accounts for $4,387,000,000 of the
total.
The firm has a healthy net working capital of
$1,847,000,000 (3,005,000,000 minus
1,158,000,000).

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-87
Debt and Equity Financing

The right-hand side of the balance sheet


reveals the sources of money used to
finance the purchase of the firms assets
listed on the left-hand side of the balance
sheet.
It shows how much was borrowed (debt
financing) and how much was provided by
firms owners (equity financing, through
the sale of equity or retention of prior
years earnings).
Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
3-88
Debt versus Equity

Payment: Payment for debt holders is


generally fixed (in the form of interest);
Payment for equity holders (dividends) is
not fixed nor guaranteed.
Seniority: Debt holders are paid before
equity holders in the event of bankruptcy.
Maturity: Debt matures after a fixed period
while equity securities do not mature.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.


3-89
Book Values, Historical Costs, and
Market Values
Book values (based on historical cost)
reported in the balance sheet can differ
from market values.
The gap between book value and market
value is likely to be higher for fixed assets
relative to current assets for two reasons:
Inflation affects the market price of asset; and
Depreciation adjustments in the balance sheet
do not reflect actual changes in market values.

Step 1: Picture the Problem

The cash flow statement uses information


from the firms balance sheet and income
statement to identify the net sources and
uses of cash for a specific period of time.
The sources and uses of cash are
organized into cash from operating
activities, investing activities, and
financing activities.

Step 3: Solve

Cash flow from operating activities


EXCO had a positive cash flow from operating
activities of $577.83 million in 2007. In 2006,
the cash flow from operating activities was
much lower at $227.86.
The primary contributors to the operating cash
flows in 2007 were the firms
depreciation/depletion expense and non-cash
expense. Net working capital is a use of cash.

Step 3: Solve (cont.)

Cash flow from investing activities:

Cash flow from investing activities were


($2,396.44) million in 2007.

EXCO had invested heavily in capital


expenditures in 2007 with a total expense of
$2,846.97 million.

profitable firm with positive cash flow from
operations.
The firm has been aggressively investing in fixed
assets to the tune of almost 4 times its operating
cash flows.
The firm has been able to successfully raise
money from capital markets by issuing stocks of
nearly $2,000 million.
