Leasing • Often referred to as “off balance sheet” financing if a lease is not “capitalized.” • Leasing is a substitute for debt financing and, thus, uses up a firm’s debt capacity. • Capital leases are different from operating leases: • Capital leases do not provide for maintenance service. • Capital leases are not cancelable. • Capital leases are fully amortized.
Lease vs. Borrow-and-Buy Data: • New computer costs $1,200,000. • 3-year MACRS class life; 4-year economic life. • Tax rate = 40%. • rd = 10%. • Maintenance of $25,000/year, payable at beginning of each year. • Residual value in Year 4 of $125,000. • 4-year lease includes maintenance. • Lease payment is $340,000/year, payable at beginning of each year.
In a lease analysis, at what discount rate should cash flows be discounted? • Since cash flows in a lease analysis are evaluated on an after-tax basis, we should use the after-tax cost of borrowing. • Previously, we were told the cost of debt, rd, was 10%. Therefore, we should discount cash flows at 6%. A-T rd = 10%(1 – T) = 10%(1 – 0.4) = 6%.
Cost of Owning Analysis PV of the cost of owning (@ 6%) = -$766.948
Notes on Cost of Owning Analysis • Depreciation is a tax deductible expense, so it produces a tax savings of T(Depreciation). Year 1 = 0.4($396) = $158.4. • Each maintenance payment of $25 is deductible so the after-tax cost of the mortgage payment is (1 – T)($25) = $15. • The ending book value is $0 so the full $125 salvage (residual) value is taxed, (1 – T)($125) = $75.0.
Cost of Leasing Analysis • Each lease payment of $340 is deductible, so the after-tax cost of the lease is (1 – T)($340) = $204. • PV cost of leasing (@6%) = -$749.294. 0 1 2 3 4 A-T Lease pmt -204 -204 -204 -204
Net Advantage of Leasing • NAL = PV cost of owning – PV cost of leasing • NAL = $766.948 – $749.294 = $17.654 (Dollars in thousands) • Since the cost of owning outweighs the cost of leasing, the firm should lease.
What if there is a lot of uncertainty about the computer’s residual value? • Residual value could range from $0 to $250,000 and has an expected value of $125,000. • To account for the risk introduced by an uncertain residual value, a higher discount rate should be used to discount the residual value. • Therefore, the cost of owning would be higher and leasing becomes even more attractive.
What if a cancellation clause were included in the lease? How would this affect the riskiness of the lease? • A cancellation clause lowers the risk of the lease to the lessee. • However, it increases the risk to the lessor.
How does preferred stock differ from common equity and debt? • Preferred dividends are fixed, but they may be omitted without placing the firm in default. • Preferred dividends are cumulative up to a limit. • Most preferred stocks prohibit the firm from paying common dividends when the preferred is in arrears.
What is adjustable-rate preferred? • Dividends are indexed to the rate on treasury securities instead of being fixed. • Excellent S-T corporate investment: • Only 30% of dividends are taxable to corporations. • The adjustable rate generally keeps issue trading near par. • However, if the issuer is risky, the adjustable-rate preferred stock may have too much price instability for the liquid asset portfolios of many corporate investors.
How can a knowledge of call options help one understand warrants and convertibles? • A warrant is a long-term call option. • A convertible bond consists of a fixed-rate bond plus a call option.
A Firm Wants to Issue a Bond with Warrants Package at a Face Value of $1,000 • Current stock price (P0) = $10. • rd of equivalent 20-year annual payment bonds without warrants = 12%. • 50 warrants attached to each bond with an exercise price of $12.50. • Each warrant’s value will be $1.50.
What coupon rate should be set for this bond plus warrants package? • Step 1: Calculate the value of the bonds in the package VPackage = VBond + VWarrants = $1,000. VWarrants = 50($1.50) = $75. VBond + $75 = $1,000 VBond = $925.
Calculating Required Annual Coupon Rate for Bond with Warrants Package • Step 2: Find coupon payment and rate. • Solving for PMT, we have a solution of $110, which corresponds to an annual coupon rate of $110/$1,000 = 11%. 20 12 -925 1000 INPUTS N I/YR PV PMT FV OUTPUT 110
What is the expected rate of return to holders of bonds with warrants, if exercised in 5 years at P5 = $17.50? • The company will exchange stock worth $17.50 for one warrant plus $12.50. The opportunity cost to the company is $17.50 – $12.50 = $5.00, for each warrant exercised. • Each bond has 50 warrants, so on a par bond basis, opportunity cost = 50($5.00) = $250.

Finding the Opportunity Cost of Capital for the Bond with Warrants Package • Here is the cash flow time line: • Input the cash flows into a financial calculator (or spreadsheet) and find IRR = 12.93%. This is the pre-tax cost.
The Firm is Now Considering a Callable, Convertible Bond Issue • 20-year, 10% annual coupon, callable convertible bond will sell at its $1,000 par value; straight-debt issue would require a 12% coupon. • Call the bonds when conversion value > $1,200. • P0 = $10; D0 = $0.74; g = 8%. • Conversion ratio = CR = 80 shares.
What conversion price (Pc) is implied by this bond issue? • The conversion price can be found by dividing the par value of the bond by the conversion ratio, $1,000/80 = $12.50. • The conversion price is usually set 10% to 30% above the stock price on the issue date.
What is the convertible’s straight-debt value? • Recall that the straight-debt coupon rate is 12% and the bonds have 20 years until maturity. 20 12 100 1000 INPUTS N I/YR PV PMT FV OUTPUT -850.61
Implied Convertibility Value • Because the convertibles will sell for $1,000, the implied value of the convertibility feature is $1,000 – $850.61 = $149.39. $149.39/80 = $1.87 per share. • The convertibility value corresponds to the warrant value in the previous example.
What is the formula for the bond’s expected conversion value in any year? • Conversion value = Ct = CR(P0)(1 + g)t. • At t = 0, the conversion value is C0 = 80($10)(1.08)0 = $800. • At t = 10, the conversion value is C10 = 80($10)(1.08)10 = $1,727.14.
What is meant by the floor value of a convertible? • The floor value is the higher of the straight-debt value and the conversion value. • At t = 0, the floor value is $850.61. Straight-debt value0 = $850.61. C0= $800. • At t = 10, the floor value is $1,727.14. Straight-debt value10 = $887.00. C10= $1,727.14. • Convertibles usually sell above floor value because convertibility has an additional value.
When is the issue expected to be called? • The firm intends to force conversion when C = 1.2($1,000) = $1,200. • We are solving for the period of time until the conversion value equals the call price. After this time, the conversion value is expected to exceed the call price. 8 -800 0 1200 INPUTS N I/YR PV PMT FV OUTPUT 5.27
What is the convertible’s expected cost of capital to the firm, if converted in Year 5? • Input the cash flows from the convertible bond and solve for IRR = 13.08%. 0 1 2 3 4 5 1,000 -100 -100 -100 -100 -100 -1,200 -1,300
Is the cost of the convertible consistent with the riskiness of the issue? • To be consistent, we require that rd < rc < re. • The convertible bond’s risk is a blend of the risk of debt and equity, so rc should be between the cost of debt and equity. • From previous information: rs= $0.74(1.08)/$10 + 0.08 = 16.0%. • rc is between rd and rs, and is consistent.
Besides cost, what other factor should be considered when using hybrid securities? • The firm’s future needs for capital: • Exercise of warrants brings in new equity capital without the need to retire low-coupon debt. • Conversion brings in no new funds, and low-coupon debt is gone when bonds are converted. However, debt ratio is lowered, so new debt can be issued.
Other Issues Regarding the Use of Hybrid Securities • Does the firm want to commit to 20 years of debt? • Conversion removes debt, while the exercise of warrants does not. • If stock price does not rise over time, then neither warrants nor convertibles would be exercised. Debt would remain outstanding.
