Financial Planning and Forecasting
Chapter 4
Why the need for financial
planning and forecasting?
To maximize stock price
To maximize gains and minimize losses
To reduce information asymmetry
To provide useful information to
investors regarding economic and
industry concerns.
… Through value creation …
Plans are Essential!
• Strategic Plan – Corporate Purpose (Mission Statement/general philosophy)
– Corporate Scope (Business and Geographic area)
– Corporate Objectives (Specific goals; quantitative & qualitative)
– Corporate Strategies (Broad approaches, not detailed plans, on how to achieve goals)
• Operating Plan – Provide detailed implementation guidance based on the corporate
strategy to meet corporate objectives.
– Function responsibility, timeline, sales and profit targets
– Usually good for 5 years
Plans are Essential! • Financial Plan
– The document that includes assumptions, projected financial statements, and projected ratios and ties the entire planning process together.
– Steps in creating a financial plan: • Develop assumptions for use in the forecast
• Project financial statements
• Projected ratios are calculated and analyzed.
• Determine funds needed to support the 5 year plan
• Forecast fund availability over the next 5 years
• Establish and maintain a system of control to govern the allocation and use of funds within the firm
• Reexamine the entire plan from start to end. Develop procedures for adjusting the basic plan if economic forecasts upon which the plan was based do not materialize (Feedback Loop)
• Establish a performance-based management compensation system
Sales Forecasts
• A forecast of a firm’s unit and dollar sales for some future period.
• Generally based on recent sales trends + forecasts of the economic prospects for the nation, region, industry, etc.
• An objective decision. Many factors have to be considered in doing sales forecast.
• Extremely critical and important as it is a crucial determinant of how much inventory and fixed assets to invest in, which entail considerable amount of money.
Percent of Sales Method
• A method of forecasting future financial statements that expresses each account as a percentage of sales
• The percentages can be constant, or can change over time
Year 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
Sales growth rate 20% 15% 10% 10% 8%
Sales 100,000 120,000 138,000 151,800 166,980 180,338
Explicit Forecast Period
Forecast Horizon
Percent of Sales Method • Total Sales = Sales Price per unit * # of units
• In creating the Sales forecast, one has to consider population growth (demand) and inflation.
• Thus it is possible that even if unit selling price is forecasted to increase due to inflation, the demand or # of units sold will decrease.
• If long term growth rate is 5%, _________ is what we call the “competitive advantage period”
Year 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Unit Selling Price 10.00 10.50 10.92 11.25 11.59 11.93 Number of Units 10,000 11,000 11,880 12,474 12,225 12,347 Inflation rate 5% 4% 3% 3% 3% Demand growth rate 10% 8% 5% -2% 1% Sales 100,000 115,500 129,730 140,303 141,621 147,329 Growth rate (Total) 15.50% 12.32% 8.15% 0.94% 4.03%

Why BS items may be based on Sales
Companies exist and operate to earn PROFITS
Profits are attained through SALES
Sales are ultimately turned into ASSETS
Assets are needed and liabilities are incurred to
support company operations

Determine the Additional Funds Needed using the AFN Equation under normal circumstances:
AFN = Capital Intensity Ratio ΔS – Spontaneous Liabilities to Sales Ratio ΔS – Profit Margin x Forecasted Sales x Retention Ratio
= (A*/S0)ΔS – (L*/S0) ΔS – M(S1)(RR)
= ($1,035,000/$1,500,000)($300,000)
– ($95,000/$1,500,000)($300,000)
– ($523,030/$1,500,000)x($1,800,000)x(23,030/$523,030)
= $207,000 – $19,000 – $27,636
= $160,364

Other Techniques for forecasting FS
• Simple Linear Regression (Inventories and Receivables)
• Excess Capacity Adjustments (Fixed Assets)
• Used when Capital Intensity Ratio (A*/So) is not constant
Simple Linear Regression
• If the estimated relationship between inventories and sales is: Inventories = – 150,000 + 0.175 (Sales), and projected sales for 2011 is 1,800,000; thus, the projected inventories will be _______.
• If the estimated relationship between receivables and sales is: Receivables = 27,000 + 0.045 (Sales), and projected sales for 2011 is 1,800,000; thus, the projected receivables will be _______.
Simple Linear Regression Over the past four years, a well-managed company has had the following link between its inventories and its sales:
Year Sales Inventories
2008 200 million 35 million
2009 250 million 38 million
2010 400 million 55 million
2011 500 million 70 million
The company is in the process of generating its forecasted financial statements for 2012. The company first generates a forecast for sales and then, given its sales forecast, uses a regression model to forecast its inventories for 2012. Assuming that the forecasted sales for 2012 are P650 million, what are its forecasted inventories for 2012?
Excess Capacity Adjustments
• Occurs when excess capacity exists in fixed assets.
• Full Capacity Sales = Actual Sales / % of capacity
• Target Fixed Assets/Full Capacity Sales= Actual fixed assets/full capacity sales
• Required Level of Fixed Assets = (Target FA/Sales) x (Projected Sales)
Excess Capacity Adjustments
• Assuming that fixed assets of P800,000 in 2010 were being utilized to only 80% of capacity.
• Full Capacity Sales = 1,500,000 / 80% = 1,875,000
• Target Fixed Assets / Full Capacity Sales = 800,000 / 1,875,000 = 42.6667%
• Required Level of Fixed Assets = 42.6667% x (1,500,000 x 1.2) = 768,000.60
Computation of AFN under abnormal circumstances:
• The EFN has to be computed using two steps. The first step illustrated by the equation for EFN(1) finds the EFN needed to get full capacity sales. The second step, illustrated by the equation for EFN(2) finds the additional EFN to get from full capacity sales to the forecasted sales. Total EFN = EFN(1) + EFN(2).
Illustrative Problem: AFN under different circumstances
• Requirement 1: Using the EFN equation, compute the EFN assuming that fixed assets are operating at full capacity and the forecasted growth rate in sales is 25%.
• Requirement 2: Using the EFN equation, compute the EFN and required level of fixed assets assuming that fixed assets are currently being utilized at 60% of capacity and the forecasted growth rate in sales is 25%.
• Requirement 3: Using the EFN equation, compute the EFN and required level of fixed assets assuming that fixed assets are currently being utilized at 90% of capacity and the forecasted growth rate in sales is 25%.
2011 2011 2011
Key Assumption of the AFN Equation: Ratios are all expected to remain constant
Why do the AFN equation and financial statement method have different results?
• Equation method assumes a constant profit margin, a constant dividend payout, and a constant capital structure.
• Financial statement method is more flexible. More important, it allows different items to grow at different rates.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Computing for FCF
• NOWC 2010 = 1,242,000 – 114,000 = 1,128,000
• NOWC 2009 = 1,035,000 – 95,000 = 940,000
• Net Investment in OC = 188,000
• FCF in 2010 = EBIT (1-T) – Net Investment in OC
= 1,104,000 (1-40%) – 188,000
= 474,400
Effects of Changing Ratios
• MODIFYING RECEIVABLES:
If your projected DSO is 40.15 days, and you want it reduced to the industry average DSO of 36 days, how much free cash flow (reduction of receivables) would you have freed up?
• MODIFYING INVENTORIES:
If your forecasted inventory turnover is 5.26x and that of the industry is 10.9 times, how much free cash flow (reduction of inventory) would you have freed up?

How would excess capacity affect the forecasted ratios?
• Sales wouldn’t change but assets would be lower, so turnovers would be better.
• Less new debt, hence lower interest, so higher profits, EPS, ROE (when financing feedbacks were considered).
• Debt ratio, TIE would improve.

How would the following items affect the AFN?
• Higher dividend payout ratio? – Increase AFN: Less retained earnings.
• Higher profit margin? – Decrease AFN: Higher profits, more retained earnings.
• Higher capital intensity ratio? – Increase AFN: Need more assets for given sales.
• Pay suppliers in 60 days, rather than 30 days? – Decrease AFN: Trade creditors supply more capital (i.e.,
L*/S0 increases).
