7. Chapter 4 Long-term Financial Planning and Corporate Growth

8. Chapter 4 Outline • What is financial planning • Financial planning models • The percentage of sales approach • External financing and growth • Caveats in financial planning

9. What is Financial Planning? • Financial planning formulates the way financial goals are to be achieved • Financial plan – a statement of what is to be done in the future • What is the goal of financial management?

10. Short vs. Long-term Financial Planning • Short-term planning – analysis of decisions that affect current assets and current liabilities: • Cash and liquidity management • Credit and inventory management • Long-term planning – focuses on the “big picture”: • Capital budgeting • Dividend policy • Financial structure

11. Dimensions of Financial Planning • Financial horizon – the long-range time period the financial planning process focuses on, usually the next 2-5 years • Aggregation – process by which smaller investment proposals of each of a firm’s operational units are added up and treated as one big unit • Alternative set of assumptions about important variables (scenario analysis)

12. Aims of Financial Planning (1) • Examining interactions – make explicit the linkages between investment proposals for the different operating activities of the firm and financing choices available to the firm • Exploring options – develop, analyze and compare many different scenarios in a consistent way • Avoiding surprises – identify what may happen to the firm if different events take place

13. Aims of Financial Planning (2) • Ensuring feasibility and internal consistency – are the company’s goals compatible? • Communication with investors and lenders

14. Financial Planning Model: Elements (1) • Sales forecast – given as a growth rate in sales • Pro forma statements – a financial plan has a forecasted balance sheet, an income statement, and a statement of cash flows • Asset requirements – firms’ total capital budget consists of changes in total fixed assets and net working capital

15. Financial Planning Model: Elements (2) • Financial requirements – how to raise the capital; dividend policy and debt policy • Cash surplus or shortfall (“plug”) – the designated source of external financing needed to deal with any shortfall in financing and to bring the balance sheet into balance • Economic assumptions – level of interest rates, the firm’s tax rate and sales forecast

16. Framework for long term FP

17. Simple Financial Planning Model • All variables are tied to sales and this relationship is optimal • The growth in assets requires the management to decide how to finance the growth (debt vs. equity) • Dividend policy • Financing policy

18. 1.Dividend policy 2.Financing policy

19. Simple Financial Planning Model: example (1)

20. (2) If sales 20% - Inc. St. and B. S. 20%

21. (3)If sales increase by 20% - balance sheet

22. (3)If sales increase by 20% - BS

23. The Percentage of Sales Approach • A financial planning method in which accounts are projected depending on a firm’s predicted sales level • Not all of the items vary directly with sales

24. Percentage of sales approach: • example (1)

25. (2) Dividend payout ratio = Cash dividends/Net income = $ 44/$132 *100= 331/3% Retention ratio (plowback ratio) = Retained earnings/Net income = $88/$132*100 = 662/3% or retention ratio = 1- dividend payout ratio = 1-0.333 = 0.667

26. (3) Projected addition to retained earnings = 165*0.667 Projected dividends paid to shareholders =165*0.333 Net income =165

27. (4)

28. (5)

29. External Financing External financing needed (EFN) = the amount of financing required to balance both sides of the balance sheet For Rosengarten Corporation: Assets-(Liability + Equity) = $3,750 – $3,185 = $565 In order to have a 25% increase in sales the corporation has to raise $565 in new financing Possible sources of financing : - short-term borrowing - long-term borrowing - new equity

30. Capital Intensity Ratio • A firm’s total assets divided by its sales • The amount of assets needed to generate $1 sales (3000/1000=3)

31. EFN and Capacity Usage • Suppose Rosengarten is operating at 80% capacity: 1. What would be sales at full capacity? 2. What is the capital intensity ratio at full capacity? 3. What is EFN?

32. Answers: (homework) 1. 1000/.8=1250 2.Only $300 of new assets (no need for new FA). Therefore TA=3,300 Sales=1250 Capital Intensity Ratios =3300/1250 =2.64 (previously 3000/1000=3) 3. EFN =300 -185 =115 Conclusion: excess capacity reduces the need for external financing; capital intensity ratio at full capacity is lower

33. operating at 80% capacity:

34. Forecasted sales growth 25% • Full capacity=1000/.8=1250 (no need for new FA)

35. operating at 80% capacity:

36. Forecasted sales growth 50% • Full capacity=1000/.8=1250 (1500-1250=$250 sales should be produced on new FA)

37. EFN and Growth • Increase in total assets is financed internally and externally • Increase in total assets = assets (A) × sales growth (g) • Internal financing = Addition to retained earnings = Projected net income × retention ratio (R) = Profit margin (p) × projected sales[S×(1+g)] × retention ratio or or EFN = A×g – p×S×R×(1+g) Internal growth rate = ROA×R/(1-ROA×R)

38. Financial Policy and Growth • A firm may not wish to sell any new equity • If a firm borrows to its debt capacity sustainable growth rate can be achieved Debt capacity = the ability to borrow to increase firm value g* = ROE×R/(1-ROE×R)

39. Internal vs. Sustainable Growth Rates • Internal growth rate – the maximum growth rate a firm can maintain with only internal financing • Sustainable growth rate – the maximum growth rate a firm can achieve with no external equity financing

40. From intro finance course…Using Du Pont Analysis

41. Determinants of Growth g* = [p (S/A) (1+D/E)×R]/[1-p(S/A)(1+D/E)×R] • Profit margin • Dividend policy • Financial policy • Total asset turnover

42. Caveats of Financial Planning Models • Rely on accounting relationships • Need to be modified over time • Objectivity of financial plans
