Financial Statements and
Free Cash Flow

Cash is King!
Investors care about cash flow.
It is worth going to a lot of trouble to
disentangle cash flow from published
financial statements.
DES Chapter 3

Annual report has 4 parts1

Statement of Cash Flows
Statement of Shareholders’ Equity

GAAP
Statements prepared according to
GAAP are reasonably consistent from
firm-to-firm.
But the standard measures (earnings
per share, net change in cash, net
income, and return on equity) are not
sufficient for valuation purposes.
DES Chapter 3
4
Accruals
Part of the problem with GAAP is
accruals
Accrual basis
 Matching principle

When does cash come in and go out,
versus when are these cash flows
recognized?
DES Chapter 3

The Balance Sheet
Assets
Accounts receivable (AR)—money owed to
ACME by customers who purchased on
credit terms
 Inventory
 Long-term assets, like property, plant and
equipment (PPE).
 Accumulated depreciation—is subtracted
from gross PPE to get net PPE.

(according to GAAP) as sold, net of items
returned.

Income statement items…
Expenses

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)


These are direct costs of producing products or
services that were sold during the period
Sales, general and administrative
expenses (SGA)

Hard to attribute these expenses to a specific
item. E.g. marketing, insurance, salaries of
executives.

Statement of Cash Flows
Because of accrual accounting, not
everything on the income statement
represents a cash flow—the statement of
cash flows corrects for this.
3 parts:



Cash flow from operating activities
Cash flow from investing activities
Cash flow from financing activities
Net cash flow
DES Chapter 3
19
Cash flow from operating
activities
Sources of cash flow:
Net income
 Depreciation, because it was deducted
from net income, but it really wasn’t a cash
expense, so it is added back in.
 If liabilities go up, it is like borrowing more,
so it is a source of cash—so increases in
accounts payable and increases in
accruals are sources of cash.

DES Chapter 3
20
Cash flow from operating
activities
Uses of cash flow

If assets go up, that represents an
expenditure (in order to pay for the asset),
and so cash goes down. So if inventory
increases, it required a use of cash flow to
pay for it, so increases in inventory and
accounts receivable are subtracted.
DES Chapter 3
21
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable deserve a bit more
discussion:

An account receivable represents money
for goods sold that the company has not
yet received. So the company is basically
lending the customer the money for the
goods. It takes cash to make a loan, so if
the company’s accounts receivable
increase, it is a use of cash.
DES Chapter 3
22
Cash flow from operating
activities
Net cash from operating activities is the
sum of these items. In 2003, ACME
generated cash of $424.72 million from
its operating activities, despite the fact
that it had net income of only $288.53
million. The difference comes mainly
from depreciation. Asset and liability
changes account for the rest.

Investing activities
Companies use their cash to purchase
fixed assets. These purchases show up
here. In 2003 Acme used $411.92
million to purchase fixed assets. This
was a use of cash so it shows up as a
negative number.
DES Chapter 3
25
Financing activities
The money (other than that provided by
operations) has to come from
somewhere—this section tells where.
If short-term or long-term debt or common
stock increases, then cash goes up.
 If the company retires debt or repurchases
common stock, then cash goes down.
 Cash goes down when dividends are paid.

Adding them up…
The sum of cash flow from operations,
investing activities, and financing
activities represents the total change in
cash. If this sum is positive, then the
total amount of cash the company has
goes up. For ACME, cash went up by
$3.72 million in 2003.

Acme’s free cash flow
Free cash flow is cash potentially
available for distribution to stockholders
and creditors:
Dividends and stock repurchases
 Interest and principal payments

DES Chapter 3
30
Free cash flow calculation
FCF calculated as

NOPAT – investment in operating capital
For 2003:
NOPAT2003 = Operating profit – taxes on o.p.
=$586.62(1 – 0.40) = $351.97
DES Chapter 3
31
FCF calculation
Net operating working capital:

NOWC2003 = (cash + inventory + AR) – (AP
+ Accrued expenses) = $1,128.11
Total operating capital in 2003:
= NOWC + net long-term operating capital
(which is PPE for ACME)
 = $1,128.11 + $2,256.23 = $3,384.34
 TOC in 2002 is $3,104.89

DES Chapter 3
32
FCF calculation
FCF = NOPAT – net investment in
operating capital
= $351.97 – ($3,384.34 - $3,104.89)
 = $72.52 million

Uses of FCF
How was this $72.52 million used?
Paid $106 million to debtholders in
interest—but after-tax amount was only
$64 million because it is deductible.
 Paid $105 million in dividends.
 For a total of $169 million, which is quite a
bit more than its FCF of $73 million. It
borrowed the rest, for a total new
borrowing of $169 - $73 = $96 million.

DES Chapter 3
35
Financing approach to calculating
FCF
FCF = After-tax interest expense – Net
CF from financing activities
= $63.44 – (-9.08) = $72.52
DES Chapter 3
36
Acme’s operating performance
ROIC = NOPATt/Capitalt-1
ROIC2002 = NOPAT2002/Capital2001
= $322.91/$2,797.2
= 11.5%
ROIC2003 = NOPAT2003/Capital2002
= $351.97/$3,104.89
= 11.3%
DES Chapter 3
37
Is this good or bad?
If ROIC is greater than the cost of
capital (WACC) then ACME is adding
value. Since WACC is 10%, ROIC
shows that ACME is earning more than
its investors require.
