Cash FlowProduction Cycle (II)
Example debriefing:
For simplicity, suppose the company is a new one that has raised money fromowners and creditors
The company uses cash to purchase raw material and hire workers; it makesthe product and stores it in inventory
When the company sales a product, inventory turns into cash; if the sale is forcash, otherwise, cash is not realized until accounts receivable is collected; themovement of cash to inventory, to cash receivable, ad back to cash is thefirms working capital cycle.
On the other hand, over a period of time, fixed assets are consumed; thraccountant recognize the process by continually reducing the value of asetsand increasing the value of merchandise flowing into inventory by anammount called depreciation
http://www.gate.com.ro/7/29/2019 Finance for Media Companies
8/70
Cash FlowProduction Cycle (III)
Example debriefing:
To maintain productive capacity, the company must invest part of its newlyreceived cash in new fixed assets.
Profit do not equal cash flow. The profitability of a company is not an
anssurence that its cash flow will be sufficient to maintain solvency. Forexample, if the company loses control of its accounts receivable by allowingclients more time to pay, or the company makes more merchandise than itsells, then, though the firm is selling at a profit, its sales may not begenerating sufficient cash to replenish the cash for production and investment

Chapter III - BUDGETING
http://www.gate.com.ro/7/29/2019 Finance for Media Companies
42/70
BUDGETING
What is a budget?
A budget is the financial action plan for an organization. It translates strategicplans into measurable expenditures and anticipated returns over a certainperiod of time.
Budgeting includes:
Forecasting future business results, such as sales volume, revenues, capitalinvestments, and expenses
Reconciling those forecasts to organizational goals and financialconstraints
Obtaining organizational support for the proposed budget Managing subsequent business activities to achieve budgeted results
http://www.gate.com.ro/7/29/2019 Finance for Media Companies
43/70
BUDGETING PROCESS
STEP 1: Setting goals. Some organizations mandate company wide goals such as
"increase net profits by 10% during the next year." Individual departments thentranslate these directives into financial goals that are relevant for their particularactivities.
STRP 2: Evaluating and choosing options. A variety of tactics may be used to meeta specific goal. To boost sales, for example, a company might change its pricing,
increase advertising, add sales people, or utilize new distribution channels.
STEP 3: Identifying budget impacts. Decisions about strategic goals and tactics areused to develop assumptions about future costs and revenues (See example bellow)
Goal Options Budget ImpactsBecome the most reliable
newspaper on the market
Hire the best journalists on the market Higher labor and training costs
Conduct social snd media campaigns Increased spending in marketing
Increase revenues by 10% Raise prices Lower sales volume, higher gross margin
Expand marketing Increased sales, higher marketing costs,
increased production costs
http://www.gate.com.ro/7/29/2019 Finance for Media Companies
44/70
BUDGETING PROCESS
STEP 4: Coordinating departmental budgets. Individual unit and division budgets
are combined into a single master budgetthat expresses the organizations overallfinancial objectives and strategic goals.
To achieve this end, communication is essential. Senior managers need to communicatethe companys strategic objectives to all levels of the organization, and the different
groups within the company need to communicate with each other.
For example, consider an organization that has a strategic goal of increasing revenuesby 10% over the next fiscal year. One of the ways in which the company plans toachieve this goal is to enter new markets. Entering new markets will impact manyunitsspecifically marketing, sales, product development, research and development,and so forth.

TYPES OF BUDGETS
1. Operating budgets reflect day-to-day expenses and depreciation. They typically cover
a one-year period.
2. Capital budgets outline planned outlays for investments in plant, equipment, andproduct development. Capital budgets may cover periods of three, five, or ten years.
3. Cash budgets plot the expected cash balances the organization will experience duringthe forecast period, based on information provided in operating and capital budgets.Cash budgets are prepared by the finance department and are critical to ensuring thatthe company has sufficient liquidity (cash and credit) available to meet expected cashdisbursements.

PREPARING AN OPERATING BUDGET
1. Defining goals
Some goals may be set by senior management, while others are determined by theindividual department or unit. These goals will reflect both the organizations larger
strategic priorities and the department or business units tactical goals. Examples:
What technological changes are affecting the industry?
How can current processes be improved?
What longer-term initiatives need to be considered in order to position thecompany for the future?

PREPARING AN OPERATING BUDGET
2. Setting assumptions
All budgeting requires making assumptions about the future. In many companies seniormanagement will communicate key assumptions that are to be used throughout theorganizationsuch as a 5% increase in salaries, or a 10% increase in sales volumes. Inother cases the assumptions are specific to an individual departments activities.
Managers use a wide variety of data and approaches in developing assumptions,including historical trends, purchasing surveys, and industry projections. They alsocommunicate with each other about their expectations for customer response, supplierperformance, financial market fluctuation, and so on. Be sure to document all of yourassumptions and keep notes of sources of information you use.

PREPARING AN OPERATING BUDGET
3. Forecasting sales and revenues
Sales projections for a given period are developed by product or product group. If youare forecasting product sales, consider whether it is appropriate to base your forecastson current sales trends. Some factors to consider, in addition to overall demand trendsfor these types of products, are: The history of sales growth for your company's products
Competitive products that have or may be introduced in the market
Availability of substitute products Price sensitivity of purchasers
Percentage of purchasers who demonstrate repeat purchases
Planned changes in sales and promotion activities

PREPARING AN OPERATING BUDGET
4. Forecasting expected cost of goods sold
Production costs including materials, labor, other direct product costs, andmanufacturing overhead, are estimated based on units of product or, for a servicecompany, hours of service.
5. Estimating SG&A
Selling, general, and administrative costs can include costs generated by research anddevelopment, product design, marketing, distribution, customer service, commissions,administration, and overhead.
6. Calculating expected operating income = Total revenue-Total costs
Obs:Typically, it will be necessary to rework the first draft of an operating budget in orderto bring the budgeted results into line with goals and constraints.
Practical, a budget is an extension of a P&L, with a forecast on 3-5 years

TIPS FOR NEGOTIATING YOUR TEAMS BUDGET
1. Make sure you understand your organizations budgeting process.
2. Communicate often with the controller or finance person in your department. Askquestions about points you dont understand. Get that persons advice about the
assumptions your team is making.
3. Know what real concerns are driving the people making the decisions about yourbudget. Then be sure to address those concerns.
4. Get buy-in from the decision makers. Spend time educating the finance person ordecision maker about your area of the business. That will lay the groundwork forimplementing changes later.
5. Understand each line item in the budget youre working on.
6. Have an ongoing discussion with your team throughout the budget period. The moreyou plan, the more you will be able to respond to unplanned contingencies.
7. Avoid unpleasant surprises! As they become available, compare actual figures to thebudgeted amounts. If there is a significant or unexpected variance, find out why. Andbe sure to notify the finance person who needs to know.

Time Value of Money
PRINCIPLE: A dollar today is worth more than a dollar in the future,
vecause:
1. Inflation reduces the purchasing power of future money relative to currentones
2. The uncertainty of actually receiving the money as the date of receipt recedes
into the future
3. The money today can be productively invested and will grow into the future

Net Present Value of an Investment
How to decide if a particular project/investment is worth to be accepted?
While PV presents the value of a project in todays term, it is not the gain you
make. The amount that you can actualy pocket is called the NET PRESENTVALUE
NPV is the projects net contribution to wealth
NPV is the measure of how much value is created or added by undertakingthe investment
NPV = PVInitial cost of investment
If NPV > 0 then the project is worth undertaking and should beaccepted

Are you RISK Averse?
TEST: Which of the following investment opportunities do you prefer?
1. You pay 10.000 EUR today and flip a coin in one year to determine whetheryou will receive 50.000 EUR or pau another 20.000 EUR
2. You pau 10.000 EUR today and receive 15.000 EUR in one year
If your chice is 2, join the crowd; you are risk averse; studies indicate thatmost people prefer certainty of option 2. The presence of risk reduces thevalue of 1 relative to 2

RISK and diversificationExample
Investing in the ice cream stand isrisky, since the investor stands to make 60% returnif it is sunny, but lose 20% if it rains
Investing in the umbrella shop is also risky, investor loosing 30% if tomorrow is sunnybut make 50% if it rains
Despite that these 2 investments are risky viewed isolated, they are not risky as part ofa portfolio. Regardless of the weather tomorrow, the outcome is a certain 15%

RISK and diversification
An assets rosk in isolation is greather than its risk as part of a portfolio, even if the
asset and the portfolio are not perfectly correlated
Total risk = Systematic risk + Unsystematic risk
Systematic risk reflects exposure to economywide events: interest rate changes,
business cycles, and cannot be reduced by diversification
Unsystematic risk reflects investment specific events: fires, lawsuits, which can beeliminated by diversification

Estimating Investment RISK
3 techniques:
1. Sensitivity analysisinvolves an estimation of how the investments figure of merit(NPV) varies with changes in one of the uncertain economic factors that it depens on,such as: price, sales, etc. one approach is to calculate three returns coresponding to anoptimistic, a pessimistic and a most likely forecast for the uncertain variables.
2. Scenario analysisis a modest extension that changes several of the uncertainvariables in a mutually consistent way to describe a particular event
3. Simulationis an extension of 1 and 2, in which the analyst assigns aprobabilitydistribution to each uncertain factor. For each set of values the computer calculates
particula outcome

Estimating Investment RISKExamplesensitivity analysis:
Relative impact of key variables on NPV (Investment NPV=21.259 EUR)
Out of the 5 variables tested, the NPV is most sensitive to changes in the projectedprofit margin and sales growth rate.
This suggests that management would be smart to pay special attention to their
estimates of these 2 variables, and once the investment is undertaken, to manage thesequantities closely.
A 1% increase in: Increase NPV by: % increase
Sales growth rate 2240 10.5%
Operating profit margin 2462 11.6%
Capital investment -1249 -5.9%
Working capital investment -1143 -5.4%

VALUING A BUSINESS

Valuating a Business
First setp in valuating a business is to decide what is to be valuated:
1. Do we want to valuate the companys assets or its equity?
2. Shall we valuate the business as a going concern or in liquidation?
3. Are we to value a minority interest in the business or controlling interest?
Valuating a Business Assets or Equity?
http://www.gate.com.ro/7/29/2019 Finance for Media Companies
64/70
Valuating a BusinessAssets or Equity?
When a company acquires another, it can do so by purchasing either the sellers assets
or its equity. When the buyer purcases the sellers equity, it must assume the sellersliabilities.
Example: if you purchase a house for 100 thou EUR cash and assumption of thesellers 400 thou EUR mortgage, you say you buy the house for 500 thou EUR, with
100 thou EUR down.
Most acquisition involving companies of any size are structured as an equitypurchase. However, never lose sight of the fact that the true cost is the cost of equity+ value of liabilities

Valuating a BusinessDead or Alive?
Companies can generate value for owners in 2 states: in liquidation or as growing
concerns
Liquidation value is the cash generated by terminating the business and selling itsassets individually
Going-Concern value is the present worth of expected future cash flows generatedby a business

Valuating a BusinessMarket value vs. book value
Market value Book value
Why?
1. Financial statements (that give a value of the shareholders equity) are transaction based. For
example, an asset for 1 mil EUR in 1950 and used by the accountant in the balance sheet,
may have no relevance today (inflation, the asset is obsolete)
2. Companies tipicaly have many assets and liabilities that do not appear on the balance sheet,
but affect future income (patents and trademarks, loyal customers, technology, bettermanagement)
When a company is publicly listed, it is a simple matter to
calculate its market value
#of shares x market price per share

Valuating a BusinessDiscounted Cash flow
Absent market prices, the most direct way to estimate going-concern value is bycalculating the present value of expected future cash flows going to owners andcreditors.
When this number exceeds the acquisition price, the purchase has a possitive netpresent value and is therefore attractive. Converselly, when the net present value ofthe future cash flows is less than the acquisition price, th epurchase is unattractive
Fair market value
FMV of firm = PV{expected cash flows to owners and creditors}
Maximum price one should pay for a business = present value of expected future cashflows to capital suppliers discounted at an risk adjusted discount rate; discounted rate
should be target companys weighted average cost per capital

Value of equity = Value of firmValue of debt
Therefore, in order to value a companys equity, we need to estimate firm value and
subtract debt.
Market value and book value of debt are usually the same an can be taken from thebalance sheet

Terminal value
Because a firm can have an infinitely long life expectancy, we can not estimate cashflow for hundreds of years
We think of the companys future as composed of 2 periods: first (5-15 years) wepresume company has a unique cash flow patern and growth trajectorywe estimateannual free cash flows; secondafter the firs period company becomes stable, slowgrowth businesswe estimate a single terminal value reprsenting the worth of all
subsequent free cash flows
FMV of firm = PV(FCF years 1-10 + Terminal Value at year 10)
