| Chapter 7 Mini Case | |||||||
| Situation | |||||||
| Your employer, a mid-sized human resources management company, is considering expansion into related fields, including the acquisition of Temp Force Company, an employment agency that supplies word processor operators and computer programmers to businesses with temporary heavy workloads. Your employer is also considering the purchase of Biggerstaff & McDonald (B&M), a privately held company owned by two friends, each with 5 million shares of stock. B&M currently has free cash flow of $24 million, which is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5%. B&M’s financial statements report short-term investments of $100 million, debt of $200 million, and preferred stock of $50 million. B&M’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 11%. Answer the following questions. | Note: There are a couple qualitative responses for this mini-case, but the | ||||||
| remainder of the case is already computed. | |||||||
| Why? | |||||||
| This mini-case is similar to the normal class project and is for | |||||||
| detailed study. | |||||||
| Please review all aspects of this mini-case in detail in preparation for | |||||||
| something similar in the near future. | |||||||
| a. Describe briefly the legal rights and privileges of common stockholders. | |||||||
| Features of Common Stock | |||||||
| 1. Common Stock represents ownership. 2. Ownership implies control. 3. Stockholders elect directors. 4. Directors hire management who attempt to maximize stock price. | |||||||
| Classified Stock | |||||||
| Classified Stock carries special provisions. For example, shares could be classified as founders' shares which come with voting rights but dividend restrictions. | |||||||
| b. What is free cash flow (FCF)? What is the weighted average cost of capital? What is the free cash flow valuation model? Answer: | |||||||
| c. Use a pie chart to illustrate the sources that comprise a hypothetical company’s total value. Using another pie chart, show the claims on a company’s value. How is equity a residual claim? Answer: | |||||||

| d. Suppose the free cash flow at Time 1 is expected to grow at a constant rate of gL forever. If gL < WACC, what is a formula for the present value of expected free cash flows when discounted at the WACC? If the most recent free cash flow is expected to grow at a constant rate of gL forever (and gL < WACC), what is a formula for the present value of expected free cash flows when discounted at the WACC? | |||||||

| f. You have just learned that B&M has undertaken a major expansion that will change its expected free cash flows to −$10 million in 1 year, $20 million in 2 years, and $35 million in 3 years. After 3 years, free cash flow will grow at a rate of 5%. No new debt or preferred stock were added, the investment was financed by equity from the owners. Assume the WACC is unchanged at 11% and it that there are still has 10 million shares of stock outstanding. | |||||||
| (1.) What is its horizon value (i.e., its value of operations at year three)? What is its current value of operations (i.e., at time zero)? | |||||||
| Explicit forecast: | |||||||
| Year | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | |||
| FCF | FCF1 | FCF2 | FCF3 | ||||
| Constant growth from Year 3 and afterwards: | |||||||
| Year | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | … t |
| FCF | FCF1 | FCF2 | FCF3 | FCF3(1+gL) | FCF4(1+gL) | FCFt(1+gL) | |
| Explicit forecast ends at Year 3, so make the horizon date Year 3, too. (Note: it is possible to make the horizon date Year 2 because FCF3 is known and grows at a constant rate, but it is easy to make mistakes if horizon year is not set equal to end of explicit forecast.) | |||||||
| HV3 = Vop,3 = PV of FCF4 and beyond discounted back to Year 3 | |||||||

| HV3 | ←↵ | ←↵ | ←↵ | ||||
| Because free cash flows are constant from Year 4 and beyond, we can apply the constant growth model at Year 3: | |||||||
| The general horizon value formula is: | |||||||
| R&R's explicit forecast: | |||||||
| Year | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | |||
| FCF | −$10.00 | $20.00 | $35.00 | ||||
| After Year 3, gL = | 5% | ||||||
| WACC = | 11% | ||||||
| R&R's horizon value: | |||||||
| HV3 = Vop,3 = | FCF0 (1+gL) | ||||||
| (WACC-gL) | |||||||
| HV3 = Vop,3 = | $36.750 | ||||||
| 6% | |||||||
| HV3 = Vop,3 = | $612.50 | ||||||
| After estimating the horizon value, you can estimate the current value of operations by following these steps: (1) Find the present value of the FCFs from the explicit forecast, discounted back to Time 0 at the WACC; (2) find the present value of the horizon value, discounted back to Time 0 at the WACC; and (3) sum the PV of the FCFs and the PV of the horizon value. This sum is the present value of all future FCF from Time 0 to infinity, discounted back to Time 0. Therefore, this sum is the current value of operations, Vop,0. | |||||||

| g. If B&M undertakes the expansion, what percent of B&M’s value of operations at Year 0 is due to cash flows from Years 4 and beyond? Hint: use the horizon value at t = 3 to help answer this question. | |||||||
| INPUTS: | |||||||
| Vop,0 = | $480.67 | ||||||
| HV3 = | $612.50 | ||||||
| First, calculate the present value of the horizon value. Then divide the Year 0 value of operations by the present value of the horizon value. This will show what percent of value is due to cash flows occurring 4 or more years in the future. | |||||||
| PV of HV3 = | HV3 / (1+WACC)3 | ||||||

| h. Based on your answer to the previous question, what are two reasons why managers often emphasize short-term earnings? Answer: See Chapter 7 Mini Case Show | |||||||
| i. Your employer also is considering the acquistion of Hatfield Medical Supplies. You have gathered the following data regarding Hatfield, with all dollars reported in millions: (1) most recent sales of $2,000; (2) most recent total net operating capital, OpCap = $1,120; (3) most recent operating profitability ratio, OP = NOPAT/Sales = 4.5%; and (4) most recent capital requirement ratio, CR = OpCap/Sales = 56%. You estimate that the growth rate in sales from Year 0 to Year 1 will be 10%, from Year 1 to Year 2 will be 8%, from Year 2 to Year 3 will be 5%, and from Year 3 to Year 4 will be 5%. You also estimate that the long-term growth rate beyond Year 4 will be 5%. Assume the operating profitability and capital requirement ratios will not change. Use this information to forecast Hatfield's sales, net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT), OpCap, free cash flow, and return on invested capital (ROIC) for Years 1 through 4. Also estimate the annual growth in free cash flow for Years 2 through 4. The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is 9%. How does the ROIC in Year 4 compare with the WACC? | |||||||

| NOPAT/Sales | 4.5% | 4.5% | 4.5% | 4.5% | 4.5% | ||

| NOPAT | $99 | $107 | $112 | $117.879 | |||
| OpCap | $1,120 | $1,232 | $1,331 | $1,397.088 | $1,466.942 | ||
| FCF | −$13.00 | $8.360 | $45.738 | $48.025 | |||
| Growth in FCF | -164% | 447.1% | 5.0% | ||||
| ROIC | 8.0% | 8.0% | 8.0% | 8.0% | |||
| Is ROIC4 =< WACC/(1 + gL)? | |||||||
| ROIC4 = | 8.0% | ||||||
| WACC/(1+gL)= | 8.6% | ||||||
| Yes, ROIC4 =< WACC/(1 + gL). Therefore, we expect that the value of operations at Year 4 (HV4) should be less than the total net operating capital at Year 4 (OpCap4). | |||||||
| j. What is the horizon value at Year 4? What is the value of operations at Year 0? How does the value of operations compare with the current total net operating capital? | |||||||
| Horizon Value: | |||||||
| = | $1,260.65 | ||||||
| Value of Operations: | |||||||
| Present value of HV | $893.08 | ||||||
| + Present value of FCF | $64.450 | ||||||
| Value of operations ≈ | $958 | ||||||
| Note that the horizon value at Year 4 (HV4 = $958) is less than the total net operating capital at Year 4 (OpCap4 = $1,466.94). This is expected because ROIC4 < WACC/(1+gL). | |||||||
| The value of operations at Year 0 is less than the total net operating capital at Year 0 because the ROIC is too low when compared to the WACC. ROIC must be greater than WACC/(1+gL) before the horizon value exceeds the total net operating capital. | |||||||
| ROIC needed to make HV greater than Vop at horizon: ROIC = WACC/(1+gL) | |||||||
| ROIC at horizon = | 8.04% | < | 8.57% | = WACC/(1+gL) | |||
| Horizon value ≈ | $1,261 | < | $1,467 | = OpCap at horizon | |||
| Current value of operations ≈ | $958 | < | $1,120 | = OpCap at horizon | |||
| k. What are value drivers? What happens to the ROIC and current value of operations if expected growth increases by 1 percentage point relative to the original growth rates (including the long-term growth rate)? What can explain this? Hint: Use Scenario Manager. | |||||||
| Value drivers are the inputs to the free cash flow valuation model that managers are able to influence: sales growth rates, operating profitability, capital requirements, and the cost of capital. | |||||||
| Using the Scenario Manager, the new ROIC and value of operations are: | |||||||

| Growth hurts value because the ROIC is too low. Growth will only help value if ROIC>WACC/(1+WACC). | |||||||
| l. Assume growth rates are at their original levels. What happens to the ROIC and current value of operations if the operating profitability ratio increases to 5.5%? Now assume growth rates and operating profitability ratios are at their original levels. What happens to the ROIC and current value of operations if the capital requirement ratio decreases to 51%? Assume growth rates are at their original levels. What is the impact of simultaneous improvements in operating profitability and capital requirements? What is the impact of simultaneous improvements in the growth rates, operating profitability, and capital requirements? Hint: Use Scenario Manager. | |||||||

| m. What insight does the free cash flow valuation model give provide us about possible reasons for market volatility? Hint: Look at the value of operations for the combinations of ROIC and gL in the previous questions. | |||||||
| ROIC | |||||||
| gL | 8.0% | 8.8% | 9.8% | 10.8% | |||
| 5% | $958 | $1,191 | $1,523 | $1,756 | |||
| 6% | $933 | $1,247 | $1,694 | $2,008 | |||
| Notice that small changes in ROIC and growth cause large changes in value. | |||||||
| n. (1.) Write out a formula that can be used to value any dividend-paying stock, regardless of its dividend pattern. | |||||||
| The value of any financial asset is equal to the present value of future cash flows provided by the asset. When an investor buys a share of stock, he or she typically expects to receive cash in the form of dividends and then, eventually, to sell the stock and to receive cash from the sale. Moreover, the price any investor receives is dependent upon the dividends the next investor expects to earn, and so on for different generations of investors. Thus, the stock's value ultimately depends on the cash dividends the company is expected to provide and the discount rate used to find the present value of those dividends. | |||||||
| Here is the basic dividend valuation equation: | |||||||
| D1 | + | D2 | + | . . . . | DN | ||
| ( 1 + rs ) | ( 1 + rs ) 2 | ( 1 + rs ) N | |||||
| The dividend stream theoretically extends on out forever, i.e., n = infinity. Obviously, it would not be feasible to deal with an infinite stream of dividends, but fortunately, an equation has been developed that can be used to find the PV of the dividend stream, provided it is growing at a constant rate. | |||||||
| Naturally, trying to estimate an infinite series of dividends and interest rates forever would be a tremendously difficult task. Now, we are charged with the purpose of finding a valuation model that is easier to predict and construct. That simplification comes in the form of valuing stocks on the premise that they have a constant growth rate. | |||||||
| n. (2.) What is a constant growth stock? How are constant growth stocks valued? | |||||||
| In this stock valuation model, we first assume that the dividend and stock will grow forever at a constant growth rate. Naturally, assuming a constant growth rate for the rest of eternity is a rather bold statement. However, considering the implications of imperfect information, information asymmetry, and general uncertainty, perhaps our assumption of constant growth is reasonable. It is reasonable to guess that a given firm will experience ups and downs throughout its life. By assuming constant growth, we are trying to find the average of the good times and the bad times, and we assume that we will see both scenarios over the firm's life. In addition to assuming a constant growth rate, we will be estimating a long-term required return for the stock. By assuming these variables are constant, our price equation for common stock simplifies to the following expression: | |||||||
| D1 | |||||||
| ( rs – gL ) | |||||||
| In this equation, the long-run growth rate (g) can be approximated by multiplying the firm's return on assets by the retention ratio. Generally speaking, the long-run growth rate of a firm is likely to fall between 5% and 8% a year. | |||||||
| n. (3.) What happens if a company has a constant gL which exceeds rs? Will many stocks have expected growth greater than the required rate of return in the short run (i.e., for the next few years)? In the long run (i.e., forever)? Answer: See Chapter 7 Mini Case Show. | |||||||
| o. Assume that Temp Force has a beta coefficient of 1.2, that the risk-free rate (the yield on T-bonds) is 7.0%, and that the market risk premium is 5%. What is the required rate of return on the firm’s stock? | |||||||
| CAPM = rRF + b (rRF – rM) | |||||||
| 7% + 1.2(5%) = 13% | |||||||
| p. Assume that Temp Force is a constant growth company whose last dividend (D0, which was paid yesterday) was $2.00 and whose dividend is expected to grow indefinitely at a 6% rate. | |||||||
| (1.) What is the firm’s current stock price? | |||||||
| (2.) What is the stock's expected value 1 year from now? | |||||||
| (3.) What are the expected dividend yield, the capital gains yield, and the total return during the first year? | |||||||
| Constant Growth Model: | |||||||
| INPUTS: | |||||||

| ( rs – gL ) | 0.07 | ||||||
| $30.29 | |||||||
| Stock Price 1 year from now: | |||||||
| P1 = | D2 | ||||||
| ( rs – gL ) | |||||||
| D2 = D1 (1+gL) = | $2.2472 | ||||||
| P1 = | $2.2472 | ||||||
| 0.07 | |||||||
| P1 = | $32.10 | ||||||
| Dividend Yield = | D1 | CG Yield = | P1 – P0 | ||||
| P0 | P0 | ||||||
| Dividend Yield = | $2.12 | CG Yield = | $1.82 | ||||
| $30.29 | $30.29 | ||||||
| Dividend Yield = | 7.00% | CG Yield = | 6.00% Bart Kreps: For a constant growth stock, the capital gains yield equals the growth rate. |
||||
| Total Yield = | Dividend Yield | + | CG Yield | ||||
| Total Yield = | 13.00% | ||||||
| q. Now assume that the stock is currently selling at $30.29. What is its expected rate of return? | |||||||

| r. Now assume that Temp Force’s dividend is expected to experience nonconstant growth of 30% from Year 0 to Year 1, 25% from Year 1 to Year 2, and 15% from Year 2 to Year 3. After Year 3, dividends will grow at a constant rate of 6%. What is the stock’s intrinsic value under these conditions? What are the expected dividend yield and capital gains yield during the first year? What are the expected dividend yield and capital gains yield during the fourth year (from Year 3 to Year 4)? | |||||||
| For many companies, it is unreasonable to assume that it grows at a constant growth rate. Hence, valuation for these companies proves a little more complicated. The valuation process, in this case, requires us to estimate the short-run non-constant growth rate and predict future dividends. Then, we must estimate a constant long-term growth rate at which the firm is expected to grow. Generally, we assume that after a certain point of time, all firms begin to grow at a rather constant rate. Of course, the difficulty in this framework is estimating the short-term growth rate, how long the short-term growth will hold, and the long-term growth rate. | |||||||
| Specifically, we will predict as many future dividends as we can and discount them back to the present. Then we will treat all dividends to be received after the convention of constant growth rate with the Gordon constant growth model described above. The point in time when the dividend begins to grow at a constant rate is called the horizon date. When we calculate the constant growth dividends, we solve for a horizon value (also called the terminal value or continuing value) as of the horizon date. We can then find the present value of the dividends in the forecast period and the present value of the horizon value, which gives the current estimated stock price. | |||||||
