How Value is CreatedHow Value is Created• Management makes decisions,
hopefully, with benefits exceeding costs– Benefits may be near or distant future– Costs should include direct investment
costs + cost of capital– True source of value-enhancing projects
• Firm’s comparative or competitive advantage.
FIN 591: Financial Fundamentals/Valuation 6
Comparative AdvantageComparative Advantage• Advantage one firm has over another in
terms of– Cost of producing or– Distributing goods/services
• Example:– Wal-Mart invested in regional warehouses and
distribution system– Reduces the need for retail inventory– Replenish store inventory quickly.

Competitive AdvantageCompetitive Advantage• Advantage one firm has over another
because of structure of the markets in which they operate
• Barriers to entry– Patents– Capital requirements– Regulation

EPS: Opiate of the Executive EPS: Opiate of the Executive SuiteSuite
• EPS is such an unreliable measure of value that managers often make “dumb” decisions to increase it
• Prompts managers to misallocate capital– Treats retained earnings as a free source
of capital– Promotes retaining capital and using it
wastefully.
FIN 591: Financial Fundamentals/Valuation 15
EPS…EPS…• Accounting rules discourage EPS-manic
managers from spending capital on value enhancing investments in intangibles like brands, research and training
• Why?– GAAP requires outlays to be written off
immediately against earnings.
FIN 591: Financial Fundamentals/Valuation 16
EPS…EPS…• EPS focus may cause management to
refrain from issuing equity at times when the company really needs it
• Fabricate EPS gains by using more debt than prudent– Both on and off the balance sheet
• Accept weak projects that happen to be financed with debt.
FIN 591: Financial Fundamentals/Valuation 17
EPS…EPS…• Earnings manipulation often used
– Establish reserves– Invest pension funds in equities– Extreme cases, make up numbers as you
go• Worldcom and HealthSouth.

“Management that aims to boost earnings at the expense of quality will be more certainly penalized then ever before with a lower stock price and a sullied reputation.”

expectations, not historical performance.

FIN 591: Financial Fundamentals/Valuation 22
Cash Flow Not the AnswerCash Flow Not the Answer• Cash flow has problems as a valid
performance measure– So long as investments in projects earn a
return higher than shareholders could earn by investing on their own, then the more investment a company makes and the more negative its cash flow becomes, the higher its share price will be.• Think Wal-Mart.

Focus on EVA ImprovementFocus on EVA Improvement• A positive change in EVA is better
than a positive yet unchanging base level of EVA– Why?
• Positive changes in EVA are consistent with “shareholder value added” -- whether from a positive or negative base
• Positive changes in EVA are consistent with the managerial notion of continuous improvement in performance.

Real Life EVAReal Life EVA• The Manitowoc Co. in Manitowoc, Wis., a diversified food service, crane manufacturing
and marine operations company, outsourced a reverse-auction procurement system to a vendor instead of acquiring a software package itself. A comparison using Economic Value Added of buying vs. renting would look like this for the first year (hypothetical numbers):
• In-house application $180,000 in net benefits - ($1 million capital investment x 12% cost of capital) = $60,000 EVA
• Outsourced application $180,000 in net benefits - ($0 capital investment x 12% cost of capital) - $80,000 in rental fees = $100,000 EVA
– Outsourced application requires no capital investment thus, no capital charge. • Suppose the operating costs to run the system in-house were $50,000 per year.
– Most companies only look at the income statement side of the ledger; they wouldn't outsource this application because it would be exchanging $50,000 of in-house expenses for the $80,000 rental fee, another kind of expense on the income statement. Yet on an EVA basis, the company would outsource the system, because doing so would produce more residual income ($100,000 vs. $60,000) by virtue of the $0 capital charge.
"When you are exposed to the EVA philosophy, you recognize how to better manage your capital," says Jim Pecquex, Manitowoc's CIO. Source: Computerworld, February 17, 2003.

Real Life EVA …Real Life EVA …• Consider a recent EVA analysis that Robert Egan, vice president of IT at Boise
Cascade Corp., and his colleagues conducted for a storage investment. The decision was whether to keep storage assets or replace them with new technology that has lower maintenance charges.
– The example is illustrative. Egan declined to provide real cost figures. • The new storage technology costs $1 million, with maintenance costs of $100,000
per year. The maintenance expense on the old storage technology is $350,000. – For simplicity, we'll assume that the new storage equipment offers no benefits other than
the lower maintenance costs. • Boise's cost of capital is about 16%. Thus, the capital charge for investing in the
new storage is 16% x $1 million = $160,000, which EVA says must be added to the $100,000 maintenance costs to get the true cost.
• The result: – The total cost of the new storage is $260,000, vs. $350,000 for the old storage. – "In this case, have you lowered the operating cost enough to make up for spending the
capital?" asks Egan. Yes -- $90,000 worth. • Boise is constantly reminded of the obvious point that technology isn't free. The
company is also aware of the less obvious fact: neither is the capital to finance it. Source: Computerworld, February 17, 2003.
