This analysis of ODP's capital structure as of September 2013 reveals a debt-to-equity ratio of 3.45, primarily comprised of senior secured notes and short-term borrowings. The company’s stock exhibits low susceptibility to market changes, with a calculated beta of 0.28, contrasting with a market average of 4.7%. Economic stability impacts demand for products, influencing ODP's supply dynamics. Understanding ODP's cost of debt and capital is critical for investment decisions, as market volatility and economic conditions play key roles in potential returns.

  2. Capital structure • Debt to Equity Ratio = 3.45 (as of September 2013) • Debt occurs in the form of a: • Senior Secured Notes • Senior Notes • Short term borrowings and • An amended credit agreement • Common stock (with 800M shares) and Treasury stock amounts are fairly insignificant contributors to equity

  3. Data for Regression

  4. Regression Model

  5. Beta compared to estimates • Beta is the slope of the regression line=0.28 • Beta estimates:

  6. Cost of Equity using CAPM • rEq = rRf + [B(rMkt-rRf)] • rRf = 3.66% • rMkt = 4% (according to Goldman Sachs)

  7. Relevance of Data • Volatility in the risk free rate, which is unusual for 30 Year T-Bonds, may contribute to the odd behavior of the returns from ODP. • ODP’s beta, according to the market, averages at approximately 4.7% which suggests that ODP’s stock price is highly susceptive to a change in the overall market. • According to my calculations, ODP’s beta of 0.28 is not receptive to changes in the market • A potential reason for this includes: economic stability does not impact the demand for office equipment and supplies unless the goods provided are inferior goods. Economic turmoil will result in heavier reliance on these products.

  8. Estimating the after tax cost of debt for ODP • rD = Pretax borrowing rate of debt x (1-tax rate) = 2.9% • Pretax borrowing rate = Interest Expense/avg(amount of interest-bearing debt)

  9. Cost of operating capital • rEnt = [rD*(vD/vENT)]+[rEQ*(vEQ/vENT)]
