  19. SECTION 3 Career Opportunities at UBS Investment Bank

  20.

  21. APPENDIX A Understanding the Financial Statements

  22. The Three Financial Statements There are three key financial statements Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Flows • Shows a company’s financial position at a single point in time • Shows how much a company makes over a period of time • Shows how much cash a company generates over a period of time Assets = Liabilities + Equity Revenue – Costs = Profit Profit + Non-Cash Costs = Cash Flow

  23. The Income Statement The income statement tells you the following information

  24. The Balance Sheet The balance sheet provides a snapshot of your financial position at a single moment in time

  25. Example: You buy a factory for $100mm you pay cash upfront You expect to use the factory for 20 years So, even though you pay $100mm cash in the first year, you spread the expanse equally over 20 years on your income statement i.e., $5mm/year for 20 years this $5mm annual cost is called “Depreciation” In Focus: Depreciation & Amortization Understanding depreciation & amortization is key to understanding accrual accounting—the rest is just details What is Accrual Accounting? What Is Depreciation & Amortization? • Example: In 2004, you buy a sweater for $30 to sell in 2005 • rather than take a charge for $30 in 2004, you wait to take a charge until 2005 • this principle is called “matching” Accrual accounting matches a cost to when you benefit from it (e.g., when you sell something) In short, depreciation takes a large, one-time cost and matches it over time to sales of goods produced by the factory

  26. Depreciation—A Visualization $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm $5mm The information below shows a visualization of how depreciation works The Initial Purchase The Estimate $100mm You borrow money to buy a factory for $100mm You estimate the factory will last 20 years Year 1 By Year 10 By Year 20 In Year 21 New Factory

  27. Statement of Cash Flows The statement of cash flows bridges accrual accounting and cash accounting

  28. What Is the Difference between Net Income and Cash Flow? Net Income and Cash Flow are each important in their own special way Beginner Advanced In theory, differences between net income and cash flow will balance out over the long run—but we can learn a good deal from the short-term differences

  29. Linking the Financial Statements Key to projecting a company’s future financial performance • Financial statements are interactive • with income and cash flow statements and prior year balance—can calculate most current balance sheet • with income statement and two years balance sheet—can calculate cash flow statement • Key interactions • net income (income statement) • first line of cash flow • less dividend provides change in shareholders’ equity on balance sheet • net change in cash (bottom of cash flow)—indicates change in cash on balance sheet • cash and debt (on balance sheet)—average over one year determines interest income and expense (respectively) on income statement

  30. How Do the Statements Link? The three financial statements are interlinked—this is why a financial model includes all three The above shows some key relationships, but by no means is all inclusive—this is what makes attention to detail in financial modelling so important

  31. How Bankers Use Financial Statements Financial statements are basic to much of the work investment bankers do Some Uses of Financial Statements Example: Benchmarking • Profitability margin benchmarking • Base for forward projections • Accretion/(dilution) analysis • Financing models • Valuation multiples • Potential value creation models • Source of data on key industry trends • And much, much more Source: Company reports Notes: 1 Includes Beiersdorf, Clorox, Colgate-Palmolive, Estée Lauder, Kimberly-Clark, L’Oréal and P&G 2 Includes Beiersdorf, Clarins, Estée Lauder and L’Oréal 3 Based on broker estimates; COGS calculated as purchases and variation in inventories, 75% of personnel costs and depreciation; 2004 figures adjusted per IAS 18 to deduct €828mm in sales incentives and €52mm in cash discounts to customers from net sales and SG&A in compliance with IFRS standards Investment bankers use financial statements every day The above chart raises questions about Avon and Esteé Lauder—why might they be so far apart on this metric when both sell cosmetics?

  32. APPENDIX B Understanding Debt and Equity

  33. What Is Debt? Debt is one way a company can get cash to fund its business needs Debt How Does Debt Impact a Company? • Debt is money that a company borrows • Companies typically borrow money by issuing bonds or drawing on a credit line (similar to a credit card) • A company typically has to pay interest on debt • paying interest requires cash • Eventually, the company must repay the debt • another alternative is borrowing new debt to pay down the original debt

  34. What Is Equity? Equity is another way a company can get cash to fund its business needs Equity How Does Equity Impact a Company? • Equity is an ownership stake in a company • A company can raise money by offering ownership stakes in the company in exchange for cash • The equity holders of a company together represent 100% of the ownership of a company • Owners are entitled to a share of the profits (after debt holders receive interest) • Profits may be paid out in the form of dividends • or equity holders may vote to reinvest them in the company and grow the business

  35. What Is a Capital Structure? Debt and Equity together form a “capital structure” Building a Capital Structure Examples of Capital Structures A capital structure is built as follows: High Debt-to-Cap • Debt = Total money borrowed • Equity = Total shares outstanding x share price • note: this is called a company’s “market value” Low Debt-to-Cap Together debt and equity show the total of all a company’s funding—or “Total Capitalization”

  36. Why Would a Company Issue Debt vs Equity? Debt and Equity each have strengths and weaknesses as a way of raising money Debt Equity • Does not reduce (“dilute”) current ownership • Investors do not require as high a rate of return • because it is less risky for investors • Does not require interest payments • no bankruptcy risk • Requires stable cash flows to cover interest payments • exposes company to bankruptcy risk in bad times • Dilutes current ownership • if a company has 100 shares and sells another 100 shares (for a total of 200 shares), the original shareholders own half as much as before • Investors require a higher rate of return given less certainty of returns Balancing these issues creates a unique “optimal capital structure” for every company

  37. APPENDIX C Valuing a Company

  38. Three Key Valuation Methods Bankers use three key methods to value companies

  39. What Are Multiples? $750K $200K $75K $150K $100K $200K $300K $100K $150K $200K $160 $200 $100 $110 $83 $89 $150 $67 $100 $120 Multiples are used as a way to benchmark valuation for assets of different sizes • Imagine the street below with houses for sale—are they all fairly priced? Example:House Prices on Hillhouse Avenue • Given that the houses are different sizes, it is more meaningful to look at their price as a multiple—in this case price per square foot Example:House Prices Using Multiples

  40. Understanding EV/EBITDA and P/E Just as real estate agents use price per square foot as a uniform measure for houses, investment bankers use EV/EBITDA and P/E to compare companies of different sizes EV/EBITDA P/E • EV = Enterprise Value • debt (minus cash) + market value of equity • represents all sources of funding • EBITDA = an approximation of cash flow • Tells you how valuable a company is based on how much cash the operations generate relative to how much funding they required • P = Stock price • can also use market value of equity • E = Earnings per Share (“EPS”) • can also use net income • Tells you how valuable a company’s stock is relative to current EPS • expect companies with higher growth to be “more expensive” (i.e., have a higher P/E) Different industries may rely more on one metric than the other depending on whether cash flow or net income is a more meaningful measure of performance

  41. Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Discounted Cash Flow analysis is driven by two key concepts—time value of money and free cash flow Understanding the Time Value of Money Understanding Free Cash Flow • Money today is worth more than money tomorrow • Why might this be the case? • if you owe me $100 and pay today, I can invest it • if you pay me $100 in one year, I lose a year of investing it • so I will take the money now, thank you • or you can pay me interest until you pay me • Free cash flow is cash flow available to all providers of capital (lenders/shareholders) • Calculated as: EBITDA +/– Change in Working Capital – Capital Expenditures = Free Cash Flow A company can be described as paying back its equity holders over time by generating cash flow Free cash flow is all the cash flow available to pay interest to lenders or dividends1 to shareholders Note: 1 Cash can also be reinvested to grow the business, making ownership share more valuable

  42. Discounted Cash Flow Analysis The table below shows an example of a discounted cash flow analysis Discount Rate Terminal Value • The discount rate represents an investors expected rate of return if they invested money today • Bankers use the WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) formula as a discount rate takes debt and equity returns into account • Cuts off projections at a certain point in time • difficult to know business will perform in 20 or 30 years • Effectively a set of simplifying assumptions • typically based on cash flow in last year of projections and expected free cash flow growth thereafter DCF Example
