Q

What is a CONGLOMERATE DISCOUNT?

A

Since a firm might be MASSIVE, think like Franklin Templeton - since the firm might be a tad unfocused on a certain stream of income, you might want to actually discount the value you come to in your valuation.

Q

If you were to RETIRE DEBT early, what might that do to your net income? What might be the knock on effects?

A

Keep it high - analysts have to remember to really scrutinize financial statements to suss out what firms might be doing to distort their earnings. EPS will be heightened

Q

Explain the FAMA FRECH MODEL in detail please.

A

The FAMA FRENCH MODEL. It is a 3 Factor Approach for one to get a return. Factor 1: you have to be in the market. Factor 2: The size factor. Factor 3: The price factor.

Risk Free + Market Risk (basically CAPM) + beta 2 (Small Minus Big) {this means the market pays more for small cap stocks, so the higher the beta here, the smaller the stock} + Beta 3 (High Minus Low) {Basically Value firms are better for returns, higher beta means the firm is more a value firm}.

Small Value is where you win.

Large and growth companies just don’t give as good of returns.

Risk Free+β1(RMRF-risk free)+β2SMBt+β3HMLt

Q

There are 3 established ways to value a firm. DDM, Residual Value and FCFE/FCFF. Why might each one be good? In what situations?

A

DDM is good for dividend paying companies, and if dividends have a, more or less, relationship with earnings.

Residual Income Model is Book Value per share / residual income. Residual income is : Net Income - (Required Return * Monies invested). This method is great for non-dividend paying stocks OR companies with negative earnings.

FCFF/FCFE is good for non dividend paying firms. FCFF is good for levered firms or firms with a negative FCFE.

PVOG - Present Value of Growth. What is this and explain the formula behind it? Hint: Think E1

A

it is like a premium one might pay based on how well a firm might capitalise on growth opportunities. The formula is : V = E1/r + PVOG. You can determine the premium folks but on the growth capitalision through this formula.

FCFE and FCFF Formulas - from start to finish - Firm Value, Equity Value and Equity Value per share

A

Firm value is just the gordon growth model, but the the FCFF, FCFE numerator. FCFF uses WACC as the denominator, FCFE uses required rate of return.

Equity Value is the firm value minus debt.

Then divide by total shares outstanding for value per share.

Q

Why do we Add back interest expense to calculate FCFF?

A

Remember, FCFF is the cash available to creditors (including bondholders). At the time of the financial statement being created (from which one is gathering this information) the interest expense IS available to the creditors, and thus should be included in FCFF.

Q

Explain FCFF. The process through Net Income, NCC, Interest, Fixed Capital and Changes in working capital

A

FCFF is trying to find cash available TO CREDITORS. So we need cash money on hand that can be spent for the creditor. We take Net Income (there are some non cash items included in Net Income) so we add those Non cash charges back on. This takes us closer to the cash amount available. Then Interest. If we pay back creditors, we need not include Interest expense. Next, the other 2 are non income statement items, and the cash flows would have come from NON CFO items - working out these BALANCE SHEET items gives us insight on other cash movements, which will take us to the current cash available.

55
Q

Do Share purchases or Issuances effect FCFE and FCFF ? And how? And does leverage effect them?

A

No they don’t. FCFF and FCFE are FREE CASH FLOWS AVALAIBLE, those cash flows are already included. Leverage does effect the outcomes of FCFE because it is not taken into consideration in the calculation of it.

A

Economic Value Added. Net Operating Profit After Tax * (Cost of Capital * Total Capital). If this is positive, the company is making money

60
Q

A

ROE

61
Q

What is the RI formula

A

V_0=B_0+RI/(1+r^n )

RI=〖EPS〗_1 (end period)-(r*〖BVPS〗_0-this is the BVPS at beginning of period)

Or

ROE - r * BVPSt-1 / 1+*r

Residual income is calculated as net income minus a deduction for the cost of equity capital. The deduction, called the equity charge, is equal to equity capital multiplied by the required rate of return on equity (the cost of equity capital in percent).

62
Q

Strengths and Weaknesses of RI model

A

Strengths and weaknesses of RI model:

  • Uses readily available accounting data
  • Accounting data can be altered
  • Model can be used on unpredictable cash flows
  • Model focuses on economic profitability
63
Q

EPS * Div Payout = what

A

Dividend paid, / to be paid

64
Q

Earnings - Dividends = ?

A

65
Q

What is ROCE

A

return on capital employed (ROCE) is a pre-tax return measure that can be useful in the peer comparison of companies in countries with different tax structures. Archway’s two main competitors are located in different countries with significantly different tax structures, and therefore, a pre-tax measure of return on capital is better than an after-tax measure. EBIT/equity

Financial Leverage Formula

A

Assets / Equity

67
Q

ROA * Financial Leverage

A

ROE

68
Q

Why do analysts prefer to use DILUTED Eps in calculating forward and trailing P/E Multiples?

A

It puts all firms on level ground - some firms may owe significant amounts in dilutive securities, so the diluted EPS is what you use to common the ground

69
Q

EPS = ?

A

Net income - Divs / av shares outstanding

70
Q

Restructuring Costs in calculating EPS, do we add or subtract the costs from EPS and why?

A

Add - remember that EPS is Net income / av shares etc. - net income is significantly effected by restructuring costs, so it is reduced, therefore at the back end, we have to ADD IT BACK to get the Core EPS.

71
Q

ROE * BVPS

A

EPS

72
Q

Why do we normalise EPS in P/E ratios?

A

To average it out across different stages in the business cycle.

73
Q

Earnings Yield is the reciprocal fraction of which commonly used multiple?

A

P/E . Earnings Yield can be used to determine how much in EPS will be generated for every $ of price.
You can use this on negative earning companies

74
Q

With trailing P/E ratio, if we are trying to find the normalised eps, what need we do with the data on roe and BVPS

A

Get the average roe across the periods and multiply it by the current or most recent bvps. This will give you a normalised eps for P/E ratio

75
Q

What is PEG and what are the adv, disadv

A

PEG = P/E / growth rate. The lower the better. It pretty much treats the PE as a perpetuity to value it. Less than 1 is the best.

Negatives - it assumes a linear relationship between PE and growth, it does not take growth horizons into consideration and it does not take risk levels into consideration.

76
Q

When comparing PE to the indsutry, benchmark, sector, etc. which score do you compare your focal company’s PE to?

A

The median - it removes outliers.

77
Q

BVPS Formula

A

BVPS = Total Equity – Other Comprehensive Income – Preferred Shares / Shares outstanding

78
Q

Firm Value minus debt = ?

A

Equity Value

79
Q

Why would you use EV/EBITDA over P/E

A

EV/EBITDA is usually more appropriate than P/E alone for comparing companies with different financial leverage (debt), because EBITDA is a pre-interest earnings figure, in contrast to EPS, which is postinterest.

80
Q

Why is Price / Sales such a good measure

A

It is not as subject to accounting scrutiny

81
Q

EV = ?

A

EV = Market Cap + Market Value Stock + Market Value Debt - Cash

Q

What is PRAT

A

P – Profit margin
R – Retention rate
A – Asset turnover
T – Financial leverage

83
Q

What is the discount for lack of control

A

Discountforlackofcontrol = 1−[1/(1+Controlpremium)]

84
Q

How do you calculate P/B ratio from ROE and growth rate and required return. What does this ratio tell us

A

ROE - g / r-g
Price to book is the market value of the firm vs the book value (so assets minus liabilities). Its pretty miuch what the firm is worth through assets.

85
Q

Capitalisation Rate, what is it?

A

Its basically the denominator on a Gordon Growth Model when valuing a private company

86
Q

P0 is the forward price to earning PE ratio, how do you calculate it, if given perpetuity growth

A

D0 / r - use that perpetuity formula to get P0, then incorporate EPS one period in future

87
Q

Do we subtract preferred shares from Shareholder equity to get book value

A

Yes

88
Q

Normalised EPS

A

So, normalized EPS is calculated as

Average ROE × BVPS = 0.131 × €22.58 = €2.96.

89
Q

How to calcualte book value?

A

Shareholder equity minus preferred shares. This is per COMMON Share, this is why we subtract preferred shares, they are a different class.

90
Q

As risk goes up, does P/E go up or down and why

A

Down. Remember, the formula for price is D/r. If price goes up, P goes down

91
Q

What is P/S

A

Price to Sales PER SHARE

92
Q

Dividend divided by EPS = ?

A

Payout ratio

93
Q

Differences between Equity method and Consolidated method on balance sheet

A

Equity method does one line on the balance sheet in NON CURRENT ASSETS. Whereas the consolidated statement keeps everything on the same line (cash added together, accounts receivable etc.) so the liquidity ratios will be higher

94
Q

What makes up net borrowing in FCFE

A

Notes payable and debts

95
Q

Explain residual income formula

A

Residual income is income minus required rate of return on net assets. So the eps in the formula is nopat, and r* bvps is the net assets

96
Q

Explain earnings yield

A

Earnings yield = E/P, the inverse of the p/e ratio. The closer this number is to 1, the better. It stipulates how much in EPS the firm gets for every dollar in price.

97
Q

Is a higher or lower PEG better? What is PEG

A

The lower the PEG, the better. PEG is P/E ratio divided by dividend growth rate. The lower the PEG, the more undervalued the fund may be because the growth rate is high! Thats what you want

98
Q

Should you add or minus upstream sales from the income statement of an equity method associate?

A

Minus it. It is an unrealized gain (you get the cash in balance sheet, but it is unverified so unrealized).

99
Q

What is each section of the CAMEL

A
  1. Capital Adequacy: capital that a bank can access
  2. Asset Quality:
  3. Management Quality: How good is the management
  4. Earnings: How stable are earnings?
    a. ROIC vs Required rate of return
  5. Liquidity
  6. Sensitivity to market risk
100
Q

With regards to liquidity, what are the ratios you need to know.

A
  • LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio) = All highly liquid assets / expected outflows
  • NSFR (Net stable funding ratio) = available stable funding / required funding
  • The HIGHER the BETTER. 100% is sort of the minimum for good liquidity
101
Q

Why doesnt leverage effect FCFF?

A

because you add back interest payments in FCFF, therefore it is NOT included in the cash flows avalable.

102
Q

What is CAGR formula

A

Value End / Value Start ) ^ (1/n) -1

103
Q

How to calculate forecast BVPS (for RI formula)

106
Q

a stable capital structure means which of FCFF and FCFE should be used and why?

A

FCFE - simple capital means that there is relativley stable leverage. FCFE is a simpler means of calcualting leverage.
