  1. Chapter 2 Financial Statements, Taxes, and Cash Flow

  2. Key Concepts and Skills • Know the difference between book value and market value • Know the difference between accounting income and cash flow • Know the difference between average and marginal tax rates • Know how to determine a firm’s cash flow from its financial statements

  3. Chapter Outline • The Balance Sheet • The Income Statement • Taxes • Cash Flow!

  4. The Balance Sheet • The balance sheet is a snapshot of the firm’s assets and liabilities at a given point in time • Assets are listed in order of liquidity with the most liquid assets being listed first • Liquidity is the ease with which an asset can be converted to cash without significant loss in value • Inventory is the least liquid current asset

  5. The Balance Sheet(continued) • The balance sheet equation • Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity • Assets = Liabilities + Owners’ Equity

  6. Net Working Capital • Net working capital = Current assets – current liabilities • NWC = CA – CL • Net working capital is positive when current assets exceed current liabilities • Net working capital is usually positive in a healthy firm

  7. Market Value vs. Book Value • Assets are reported on the balance sheet at book value • Historical cost, what the firm paid for the assets • Required by GAAP • Market value is the price at which the assets, liabilities, or equity can be bought or sold • Market value and book value often differ

  8. Income Statement • The income statement is a view of the firm’s operations over a period of time • Revenues are reported when accrued, Expenses are reported when incurred • Matching Principle: GAAP requires revenues to be reported when accrued and matched to the expenses incurred to generate the revenues • Revenue – Expenses = Income

  9. Taxes • Life has two certainties: Death and Taxes • Taxes and tax law are always changing

  10. Taxes (continued) • Marginal versus average tax rates • Marginal: the tax rate paid on the next dollar earned • Average: Total taxes paid divided by total taxable income • Total taxes paid/total taxable income

  11. Cash Flow • Cash flow: The difference between the amount of money that came in and the amount of money that went out • Cash flow is one of the most important pieces of information that a financial manager can derive from financial statements • The standard financial accounting Statement of Cash Flows addresses a different issue than what we are concerned with

  12. Cash Flow (continued) • Cash Flow From Assets (CFFA) = Cash Flow to Creditors plus Cash Flow to Stockholders • Cash Flow From Assets = Operating Cash Flow – Net Capital Spending – Changes in Net Working Capital

  13. Operating Cash Flow • Operating Cash Flow is the cash flow that results from the firm’s day-to-day activities of producing and selling • Expenses associated with the financing of assets are not included since they are not operating expenses • Example: Interest expense

  14. Operating Cash Flow (continued) • Formula: Operating Cash Flow = EBIT + depreciation - taxes

  15. Net Capital Spending • Net Capital Spending: Money spent on fixed assets less money received from the sale of fixed assets • Formula: Ending net fixed assets minus beginning net fixed assets plus depreciation = Net investment in fixed assets

  16. Change in Net Working Capital • To determine the change in net working capital, take the difference between the beginning and ending net working capital (NWC) figures • Ending NWC minus Beginning NWC = Change in NWC

  17. Cash flow to creditors • A firm’s interest payments to creditors less net new borrowings • Also known as cash flow to bondholders • Interest paid – net new borrowing = cash flow to creditors

  18. Cash flow to stockholders • Cash flow to stockholders is dividends paid out by a firm less net new equity raised • Dividends paid - net new equity raised = Cash flow to stockholders

  19. Quiz • What is liquidity and why is it important? • What is the least liquid current asset? • What is the difference between market value and book value? Which should we use for decision making purposes? • What is the income statement equation? • What is the difference between a marginal and an average tax rate?

  20. Quiz (continued) • What is the Operating Cash Flow equation? Why do we add back depreciation? • Why is interest paid not a component of operating cash flow?
