What is Corporate Finance?

Corporate Finance addresses the following three questions:

1. What long-term investments should the firm engage in?

2. How can the firm raise the money for the required investments?

3. How much short-term cash flow does a company need to pay its bills?

Capital StructureThe value of the firm can be thought of as a pie.

The goal of the manager is to increase the size of the pie.

The Capital Structure decision can be viewed as how best to slice up a the pie.

If how you slice the pie affects the size of the pie, then the capital structure decision matters.

1.2 Corporate Securities as Contingent Claims on Total Firm Value

The basic feature of a debt is that it is a promise by the borrowing firm to repay a fixed dollar amount of by a certain date.

The shareholder’s claim on firm value is the residual amount that remains after the debtholders are paid.

If the value of the firm is less than the amount promised to the debtholders, the shareholders get nothing.

If the value of the firm is less than $F, they get the whatever the firm if worth.

If the value of the firm is more than $F, debt holders get a maximum of $F.

Value of the firm (X)

If the value of the firm is less than $F, share holders get nothing.

If the value of the firm is more than $F, share holders get everything above $F.

The sum of these is = $X

If the value of the firm is morethan $F, the shareholder’s claim is: Max[0,$X –$F] = $X –$F and the debt holder’s claim is:

Min[$F,$X] = $F.

1.3 The Corporate Firm

The corporate form of business is the standard method for solving the problems encountered in raising large amounts of cash.

However, businesses can take other forms.

1.4 Goals of the Corporate Firm

The traditional answer is that the managers of the corporation are obliged to make efforts to maximize shareholder wealth.

The Set-of-Contracts Perspective

The firm can be viewed as a set of contracts.

One of these contracts is between shareholders and managers.

The managers will usuallyact in the shareholders’ interests.

The shareholders can devise contracts that align the incentives of the managers with the goals of the shareholders.

The shareholders can monitor the managers behavior.

This contracting and monitoring is costly.

Managerial Goals

Managerial goals may be different from shareholder goals

Increased growth and size are not necessarily the same thing as increased shareholder wealth.

Do Shareholders ControlManagerial Behavior?

Shareholders vote for the board of directors, who in turn hire the management team.

Contracts can be carefully constructed to be incentive compatible.

There is a market for managerial talent—this may provide market disciplineto the managers—they can be replaced.

If the managers fail to maximize share price, they may be replaced in a hostile takeover.

1.5 Financial Markets

Primary MarketWhen a corporation issues securities, cash flows from investors to the firm.

Usually an underwriter is involved

Secondary MarketsInvolve the sale of “used” securities from one investor to another.

Securities may be exchange traded or trade over-the-counter in a dealer market.

Exchange Trading of Listed Stocks

Auction markets are different from dealer markets in two ways:

Trading in a given auction exchange takes place at a single site on the floor of the exchange.

Transaction prices of shares are communicated almost immediately to the public.

2.1.1 The Balance Sheet

An accountant’s snapshot of the firm’s accounting value as of a particular date.The Balance Sheet Identity is:Assets ≡ Liabilities + Stockholder’s EquityWhen analyzing a balance sheet, the financial manager should be aware of three concerns: accounting liquidity, debt versus equity, and value versus cost.

The assets are listed in order by the length of time it normally would take a firm with ongoing operations to convert them into cash.

Clearly, cash is much more liquid than property, plant and equipment.

Balance Sheet Analysis

When analyzing a balance sheet, the financial manager should be aware of three concerns:

1. Accounting liquidity

2. Debt versus equity

3. Value versus cost

Page 12: Corporate Finance - Slides

8/18/2013

Corporate Finance

2-6

Accounting Liquidity

Refers to the ease and quickness with which assets can be converted to cash.Current assets are the most liquid.Some fixed assets are intangible.The more liquid a firm’s assets, the less likely the firm is to experience problems meetingshort-term obligations.Liquid assets frequently have lower rates of return than fixed assets.

Corporate Finance

2-7

Debt versus Equity

Generally, when a firm borrows it gives the bondholders first claim on the firm’s cash flow.

Thus shareholder’s equity is the residual difference between assets and liabilities.

Corporate Finance

2-8

Value versus Cost

Under GAAP audited financial statements of firms in the U.S. carry assets at cost.

Market value is a completely different concept.

Income Statement Analysis

There are three things to keep in mind when analyzing an income statement:

1. GAAP

2. Non Cash Items

3. Time and Costs

Page 15: Corporate Finance - Slides

8/18/2013

Corporate Finance

2-15

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

1. GAAP

The matching principal of GAAP dictates that revenues be matched with expenses. Thus, income is reported when it is earned, even though no cash flow may have occurred

Corporate Finance

2-16

Income Statement Analysis

2. Non Cash Items

Depreciation is the most apparent. No firm ever writes a check for “depreciation”.

Another noncash item is deferred taxes, which does not represent a cash flow.

Corporate Finance

2-17

Income Statement Analysis

3. Time and CostsIn the short run, certain equipment, resources, and

commitments of the firm are fixed, but the firm can vary such inputs as labor and raw materials.

In the long run, all inputs of production (and hence costs) are variable.

Financial accountants do not distinguish between variable costs and fixed costs. Instead, accounting costs usually fit into a classification that distinguishes product costs from period costs.

This increase of $23 million is an investment of the firm.

2.1.4 Financial Cash Flow

In finance, the most important item that can be extracted from financial statements is the actual cash flow of the firm.

Since there is no magic in finance, it must be the case that the cash from received from the firm’s assets must equal the cash flows to the firm’s creditors and stockholders.

2-33 Statement of Cash Flows versus Cash Flow

from the Firm

Since interest paid is deducted as an expense when net income is calculated (and not deducted under financing activities) there is a difference between cash flow from operations and total cash flow to the firm—the difference is interest expense.

2.1.6 Summary and Conclusions

Financial statements provide important information regarding the value of the firm.

You should keep in mind:Measures of profitability do not take risk or timing of cash flows into account.

Financial ratios are linked to one another.

Introduction to Valuation: a simple example

You plan to buy an asset at 316 M VND. This is a riskless investment as if you buy this asset, somebody is willing to take it at 400 M VND after 3 years. Your close friend advices you not to buy it, recommending more risky investments with higher return (15 % per year, including a risk premium of 5 %)

Will you buy this asset?

Corporate Finance

6-1

Why Use Net Present Value?

Accepting positive NPV projects benefits shareholders.

ExampleRiskless project:

Initial cost: 100; unique cash flow in one year: 107; discount rate: 6 % ⇒NPV = 0.94

If the project is forgone: bank deposit 100 → 106 in one year → the project benefits shareholders (absolute opportunity cost: 6)

Firm value without project: V + 100; with project: V + 107/1.06

Risky project:About as risky as the stock market: expected return (=required return) = 10 % ⇒ NPV < 0

Opportunity cost = expected return on stock market = 10 %

Corporate Finance

6-2

The Net Present Value (NPV) Rule

Net Present Value (NPV) = Total PV of future CF’s - Initial Investment

Estimating NPV:1. Estimate future cash flows: how much? and when?2. Estimate discount rate3. Estimate initial costs

Minimum Acceptance Criteria: Accept if NPV > 0Ranking Criteria: Choose the highest NPV

Page 39: Corporate Finance - Slides

8/18/2013

2

Corporate Finance

6-3

Good Attributes of the NPV Rule

1. Uses cash flows

2. Uses ALL cash flows of the project

3. Discounts ALL cash flows properly

Reinvestment assumption: the NPV rule assumes that all cash flows can be reinvested at the discount rate.

Corporate Finance

6-4

The Payback Period Rule

How long does it take the project to “pay back” its initial investment?

Payback Period = number of years to recover initial costs

Minimum Acceptance Criteria: set by management

Ranking Criteria: set by management

Managerial perspectiveUsed by large, sophisticated companies when making relatively small decisions

Desirable features for managerial control: shorter time to evaluate the manager’s decision-making ability

Also used by firms with good investment opportunities but no or little cash available

Practitioners: academic criticisms of payback overstate real-world problems (e.g., project C)

Bigger projects: NPV becomes the order of the day

The Discounted Payback Period Rule

How long does it take the project to “pay back” its initial investment taking the time value of money into account?

By the time you have discounted the cash flows, you might as well calculate the NPV.

Incremental Cash Flows

Cash flows matter—not accounting earnings.Incremental cash flows matter.

Cash flows with project – cash flows without project

Sunk costs don’t matter.Sunk costs: cost already occurred, cannot be changed by the decision to accept or reject the project.

Opportunity costs matter.e.g., by taking a project, a firm forgoes other opportunities for using an asset.

Incremental Cash Flows (cont.)

Cash Flows—Not Accounting Earnings

Consider depreciation expense.

You never write a check made out to “depreciation”.

Much of the work in evaluating a project lies in taking accounting numbers and generating cash flows.

Corporate Finance

7-35

Incremental Cash Flows

Sunk costs are not relevantJust because “we have come this far” does not mean that we should continue to throw good money after bad.

Opportunity costs do matter. Just because a project has a positive NPV that does not mean that it should also have automatic acceptance. Specifically if another project with a higher NPV would have to be passed up we should not proceed.

Incremental Cash Flows

Side effects matter.Erosion and cannibalism are both bad things. If our new product causes existing customers to demand less of current products, we need to recognize that.

Corporate Finance

7-37

Estimating Cash Flows

Cash Flows from OperationsRecall that:

Operating Cash Flow = EBIT – Taxes + Depreciation

Net Capital SpendingDon’t forget salvage value (after tax, of course).

Changes in Net Working CapitalRecall that when the project winds down, we enjoy a return of net working capital.

Interest Expense

Later chapters will deal with the impact that the amount of debt that a firm has in its capital structure has on firm value.

For now, it’s enough to assume that the firm’s level of debt (hence interest expense) is independent of the project at hand.

Returns: Example

Suppose you bought 100 shares of Wal-Mart (WMT) one year ago today at $25. Over the last year, you received $20 in dividends (= 20 cents per share × 100 shares). At the end of the year, the stock sells for $30. How did you do?

Quite well. You invested $25 × 100 = $2,500. At the end of the year, you have stock worth $3,000 and cash dividends of $20. Your dollar gain was $520 = $20 + ($3,000 – $2,500).

Average Stock Returnsand Risk-Free Returns

The Risk Premium is the additional return (over and above the risk-free rate) resulting from bearing risk.One of the most significant observations of stock market data is this long-run excess of stock return over the risk-free return.

The average excess return from large company common stocks for the period 1926 through 1999 was 8.4% = 12.2% – 3.8%The average excess return from small company common stocks for the period 1926 through 1999 was 13.2% = 16.9% – 3.8%The average excess return from long-term corporate bonds for the period 1926 through 1999 was 2.4% = 6.2% – 3.8%

Risk Premiums

Rate of return on T-bills is essentially risk-free.

Investing in stocks is risky, but there are compensations.

Risk Statistics

There is no universally agreed-upon definition of risk.

The measures of risk that we discuss are variance and standard deviation.

The standard deviation is the standard statistical measure of the spread of a sample, and it will be the measure we use most of this time.

Its interpretation is facilitated by a discussion of the normal distribution.

Definition of Risk When Investors Holdthe Market Portfolio

Researchers have shown that the best measure of the risk of a security in a large portfolio is the beta (β)of the security.

Summary and Conclusions

This chapter sets forth the principles of modern portfolio theory.The expected return and variance on a portfolio of two securities A and B are given by

By varying wA, one can trace out the efficient set of portfolios. We graphed the efficient set for the two-asset case as a curve, pointing out that the degree of curvature reflects the diversification effect: the lower the correlation between the two securities, the greater the diversification.The same general shape holds in a world of many assets.

Summary and Conclusions

The contribution of a security to the risk of a well-diversified portfolio is proportional to the covariance of the security's return with the market’s return. This contribution is called the beta.

The CAPM states that the expected return on a security is positively related to the security’s beta:

The Capital-Structure Questionand The Pie Theory

The value of a firm is defined to be the sum of the value of the firm’s debt and the firm’s equity.

V = B + S

If the goal of the management of the firm is to make the firm as valuable as possible, the the firm should pick the debt-equity ratio that makes the pie as big as possible. Value of the Firm

The Capital-Structure Question

There are really two important questions:1. Why should the stockholders care about maximizing

firm value? Perhaps they should be interested in strategies that maximize shareholder value.

2. What is the ratio of debt-to-equity that maximizes the shareholder’s value?

As it turns out, changes in capital structure benefit the stockholders if and only if the value of the firm increases.

Total Cash Flow to Investors Under Each Capital Structure with Corp. Taxes

The levered firm pays less in taxes than does the all-equity firm.

Thus, the sum of the debt plus the equity of the levered firm is greater than the equity of the unlevered firm.

In a world of no taxes, the value of the firm is unaffected by capital structure.

Prospectus: Bankruptcy Costs

So far, we have seen M&M suggest that financial leverage does not matter, or imply that taxes cause the optimal financial structure to be 100% debt.In the real world, most executives do not like a capital structure of 100% debt because that is a state known as “bankruptcy”.In the next chapter we will introduce the notion of a limit on the use of debt: financial distress.The important use of this chapter is to get comfortable with “M&M algebra”.

Different Types of Dividends

Many companies pay a regular cash dividend.Public companies often pay quarterly.Sometimes firms will throw in an extra cash dividend.The extreme case would be a liquidating dividend.

Often companies will declare stock dividends.No cash leaves the firm.The firm increases the number of shares outstanding.

Some companies declare a dividend in kind .Wrigley’s Gum sends around a box of chewing gum.Dundee Crematoria offers shareholders discounted cremations.

The Benchmark Case: An Illustration of the Irrelevance of Dividend Policy

A compelling case can be made that dividend policy is irrelevant.Since investors do not need dividends to convert shares to cash they will not pay higher prices for firms with higher dividend payouts. In other words, dividend policy will have no impact on the value of the firm because investors can create whatever income stream they prefer by using homemade dividends.

Homemade Dividends

Bianchi Inc. is a $42 stock about to pay a $2 cash dividend.

Bob Investor owns 80 shares and prefers $3 cash dividend.

Irrelevance of Stock Dividends: Example

Shimano USA has 2 million shares currently outstanding at $15 per share. The company declares a 50% stock dividend. How many shares will be outstanding after the dividend is paid?

A 50% stock dividend will increase the number of shares by 50%:

2 million×1.5 = 3 million shares

After the stock dividend what is the new price per share and what is the new value of the firm?

The value of the firm was $2m × $15 per share = $30 m. After the dividend, the value will remain the same.

Price per share = $30m/ 3m shares = $10 per share

Corporate Finance

Dividends and Investment Policy

Firms should never forgo positive NPV projects to increase a dividend (or to pay a dividend for the first time).

Recall that on of the assumptions underlying the dividend-irrelevance arguments was “The investment policy of the firm is set ahead of time and is not altered by changes in dividend policy.”

Corporate Finance

Repurchase of Stock

Instead of declaring cash dividends, firms can rid itself of excess cash through buying shares of their own stock.

Recently share repurchase has become an important way of distributing earnings to shareholders.

Personal Taxes, Issuance Costs, and Dividends

To get the result that dividend policy is irrelevant, we needed three assumptions:

No taxesNo transactions costsNo uncertainty

In the United States, both cash dividends and capital gains are taxed at a maximum rate of 15 percent.Since capital gains can be deferred, the tax rate on dividends is greater than the effective rate on capital gains.

The above argument does not necessarily apply to firms with excess cash.

Taxes, Issuance Costs,and Dividends

In the presence of personal taxes:1. A firm should not issue stock to pay a dividend.

2. Managers have an incentive to seek alternative uses for funds to reduce dividends.

3. Though personal taxes mitigate against the payment of dividends, these taxes are not sufficient to lead firms to eliminate all dividends.

Desire for Current Income

The homemade dividend argument relies on no transactions costs.

To put this in perspective, mutual funds can repackage securities for individuals at very low cost: they could buy low-dividend stocks and with a controlled policy of realizing gains, pay their investors at a specified rate.

Corporate Finance

18-22

Resolution of Uncertainty

It would be erroneous to conclude that increased dividends can make the firm less risky.

A firm’s overall cash flows are not necessarily affected by dividend policy—as long as capital spending and borrowing are not changes.

Thus, it is hard to see how the risks of the overall cash flows can be changed with a change in dividend policy.

Corporate Finance

18-23

Tax Arbitrage

Investors can create positions in high dividend-yield securities that avoid tax liabilities.

Thus, corporate managers need not view dividends as tax-disadvantaged.

The Clientele Effect: A Resolution of Real-World Factors?

Clienteles for various dividend payout policies are likely to form in the following way:

Group Stock

High Tax Bracket Individuals

Low Tax Bracket Individuals

Tax-Free Institutions

Corporations

Zero to Low payout stocks

Low-to-Medium payout

Medium Payout Stocks

High Payout Stocks

Once the clienteles have been satisfied, a corporation is unlikely to create value by changing its dividend policy.

What We Know and Do Not Know About Dividend Policy

Corporations “Smooth” Dividends.

Dividends Provide Information to the Market.

Firms should follow a sensible dividend policy:Don’t forgo positive NPV projects just to pay a dividend.

Avoid issuing stock to pay dividends.

Consider share repurchase when there are few better uses for the cash.

Summary and ConclusionsThe optimal payout ratio cannot be determined quantitatively.In a perfect capital market, dividend policy is irrelevant due to the homemade dividend concept.A firm should not reject positive NPV projects to pay a dividend.Personal taxes and issue costs are real-world considerations that favor low dividend payouts.Many firms appear to have along-run target dividend-payout policy. There appears to be some value to dividend stability and smoothing.There appears to be some information content in dividend payments.
