Pro Forma Financial Statements

Three important uses:

Forecast the amount of external financing that will be required

Evaluate the impact that changes in the operating plan have on the value of the firm

Set appropriate targets for compensation plans

AFN - Problem 1 AP&P Co.

In 2005, sales for American Pulp and Paper were $60 million. In 2006, management believes that sales will increase by 20%, with a continued profit margin expected to be 5% and dividend payout ratio of 40%. No excess capacity exists. Given the following balance sheet (in millions), what is the additional funding needed for 2006.

Assets must increase by $250 million. What is the AFN, based on the AFN

equation?

AFN = (A*/S0)S - (L*/S0)S - M(S1)(1 - d)

What are the additional funds needed (AFN)?

Forecasted total assets = $1,250Forecasted total claims = $1,071Forecast AFN = $ 179

NWC must have the assets to make forecasted sales. The balance sheets must balance. So, we must raise $179 externally.

14-(4)- 22

Assumptions about How AFN Will Be Raised

No new common stock will be issued.

Any external funds needed will be raised as debt, 50% notes payable, and 50% L-T debt.

14-(4)- 23

How will the AFN be financed?

Additional notes payable = 0.5 ($179) = $89.50 $90.

Additional L-T debt = 0.5 ($179) = $89.50 $89.

But this financing will add 0.08($179) = $14.32 to interest expense, which willlower NI and retained earnings.

reduction in retained earnings. Additional passes could be made until assets exactly equal claims. $6(0.08) = $0.48 interest on 3rd pass.

Equation method assumes a constant profit margin.

Pro forma method is more flexible. More important, it allows different items to grow at different rates.

Equation AFN = $181 vs.

Pro Forma AFN = $185.Why are they different?

Note: These are the same as in 2001 (see slide 14-7), because there have been no improvements in operations (i.e., all percent of sales items have same percentages in 2001 and 2002). Also, there are no differences between 1st pass and 2nd pass because changes in financing do not affect measures of operating performance.

Suppose in 2001 fixed assets had been operated at only 75% of capacity.

With the existing fixed assets, sales could be $2,667. Since sales are forecasted at only $2,500, no new fixed assets are needed.

Capacity sales =Actual sales

% of capacity

= = $2,667.$2,000

0.75

14-(4)- 33

How would the excess capacity situation affect the 2002 AFN?

The projected increase in fixed assets was $125, the AFN would decrease by $125.

Since no new fixed assets will be needed, AFN will fall by $125, to

$179 - $125 = $54.

14-(4)- 34

Q. If sales went up to $3,000, not $2,500, what would the F.A. requirement be?

A. Target ratio = FA/Capacity sales= $500/$2,667 = 18.75%.

Have enough F.A. for sales up to$2,667, but need F.A. for another$333 of sales:

FA = 0.1875($333) = $62.4.

14-(4)- 35

How would excess capacity affect the forecasted ratios?

1. Sales wouldn’t change but assets would be lower, so turnovers would be better.

2. Less new debt, hence lower interest, so higher profits, EPS, ROE (when financing feedbacks considered).

3. Debt ratio, TIE would improve.

How is NWC performing with regard to its receivables and inventories?

DSO is higher than the industry average, and inventory turnover is lower than the industry average.

Improvements here would lower current assets, reduce capital requirements, and further improve profitability and other ratios.

Declining A/S Ratio

$1,000/$2,000 = 0.5; $1,000/$2,500 = 0.44. Declining ratio shows economies of scale. Going from S = $0 to S = $2,000 requires $1,000 of assets. Next $500 of sales requires only $100 of assets.

14-(4)- 42Summary: How different factors affect

the AFN forecast.

Excess capacity:Existence lowers AFN.

Base stocks of assets: Leads to less-than-proportional asset

increases. Economies of scale:

Also leads to less-than-proportional asset increases.

Lumpy assets:Leads to large periodic AFN requirements,

recurring excess capacity.

Regression Analysis for Asset Forecasting

Get historical data on a good company, then fit a regression line to see how much a given sales increase will require in way of asset increase.

14-(4)- 44

Example of Regression

Constant ratio overestimates inventory required to go from S1 = $2,000 to S2 = $2,500.

14-(4)- 46

Equation is now in the calculator. Let’s use it by inputting new sales of $2,500 and getting forecasted inventory:

2500 y, m 192.66.

The constant ratio forecast was inventory = $300, so the regression forecast is lower by $107. This would free up $107 for use elsewhere, which would improve profitability and raise P0.

14-(4)- 47

How would increases in these items affect the AFN?

Higher dividend payout ratio?

Increase AFN: Less retained earnings.

Higher profit margin?

Decrease AFN: Higher profits, more retained earnings.

(More…)

14-(4)- 48

Higher capital intensity ratio, A*/S0?

Increase AFN: Need more assets for given sales increase.

Pay suppliers in 60 days rather than 30 days?

Decrease AFN: Trade creditors supply more capital, i.e., L*/S0 increases.
