Importance of a firm’s cash flow
What is cash flow?• the actual net cash (not net income or accounting
profit) that flows in or out of a firm during a specified period
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 3
The importance of cash flow• ‘lifeblood’ of the firm - payment for inventory and other
current assets (CA), non-current assets (NCA), wages/salaries (CL), interest on debt (repayment of principal) (CL & NCL), dividends … must all be paid with cash and on time

Importance of a firm’s cash flow
The importance of cash flow (cont.)
• a firm can be profitable, but have poor (or negative) cash flow, leading to insolvency
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 4
• a firm can ‘fail’ the day it misses paying a creditor, due to legal action leading to receivership/ bankruptcy e.g. Hartz Mineral Water
Analysing the firm’s cash flow
Tools for analysing a firm’s cash flow include
• Past - statement of cash flows
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 5
• Future – financial planning can involve
• Cash budgeting
• Pro forma financial statements• Income statement
• Balance sheet
Statement of cash flows
Three types of cash flow• Operating cash flow
• associated with the production (outflow) and sale of goods and services (inflow) i.e. normal operations
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 6
• Investing cash flow• arise from the purchase (outflow) and sale of NCA
like property, plant and equipment (inflow)
• Financing cash flow• result from the issue of debt and equity securities
(inflow), and payment of interest/ dividends, repayment/ repurchase of principal/ shares (outflow)
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e : © 2008 Pearson Education Australia
Statement of cash flows
Step one:
• Classifying transaction as inflows and outflows of cash
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 7
inflows outflowsdecrease in asset increase in assetincrease in liability decrease in liabilitynet profits after tax net lossdepreciation dividends paidsale of shares repurchase of shares
Statement of cash flows
Step two:
• Involves categorising inflows and outflows of cash into operating, investing and
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 8
financing flows
• Covered in Financial Accounting units
• Students not required to prepare a statement of cash flows in BFA281, rather to understand and interpret
Statement of cash flows
Step three:
• Interpreting the statement of cash flows by answering 3 questions
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 9
• What were the sources of funds during the year?
• How did the firm use available funds?
• Did operations during the year tend to increase or decrease the firm’s liquidity, as measured by cash and marketable securities balance
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e : © 2008 Pearson Education Australia
Operating cash flow (OCF)
• Reconciling OCF from the Income Statement
• Alternative definitions of OCF exist
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 10
• Accounting definition• cash flow from operations (CFO) = net profits after
tax + depreciation and other non cash charges (amortisation & depletion) [3.1]
• Includes interest as an operating expense
• This assumes no change in CA (debtors, inventory) and CL (creditors, accrued expenses)
Operating cash flow (OCF)
• Reconciling OCF from the Income Statement (cont.)
• Finance definition
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 11
Finance definition• OCF = net operating profits after tax + depreciation
and other non-cash charges ( amortisation & depletion) [3.4]
• = NOPAT + (deprec, amort & depletion)
• = [EBIT x (1-T)] + (deprec, amort & depletion)
• Interest is excluded as an operating cash flow as it is a financing cash flow
Operating cash flow (OCF)
Why allow for (add back) depreciation?
• Definition: annual non-cash charge against income for the portion of non-current assets
d i d ti

used up in production
• Depreciation expense determined by• depreciable ‘value’ of NCA• depreciable ‘life’ of NCA• depreciation method used i.e. prime cost (straight
line) or diminishing value (reducing balance)
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e : © 2008 Pearson Education Australia
Free cash flow (FCF)
• FCF is the cash available to owners (shareholders and creditors) after meeting all operating needs and paying for investments in NNCA and NCA
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 13
• Some firms count essential maintenance of e.g. gas transmission and distribution pipelines as an operating need e.g. Envestra
Free cash flow (FCF)
• FCF = OCF – NNCAI – NCAI [3.5]
• Where• NNCAI = net non-current asset investment
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 14
= change in net non-current assets + depreciation [3.6]
• NCAI = net current asset investment= change in current assets – change in (accounts
payable and accruals) [3.7]
Examples of CFO, OCF & FCF
• Using the Baker Corporation example in Gitman
• CFO = net profit after tax + depreciation expense= $180 + $100 = $280
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 15
• OCF = EBIT (1 – Tax rate) + depreciation= $370 (1 – 0.4) + $100 = $322
• FCF = OCF – NNCAI – NCAI= $322 – (1,200 – 1,000 + 100) – [(2,000 – 1,900)* - (800 – 700)**]
= $322 - $300 -$0 = $22* current assets – cash, marketable securities, debtors, invent.** current liabilities – accounts payable, accruals

Financial planning process
What is financial planning?
• Sets financial goals
• Formulates strategies for achieving goals
Statement of what is to be done in the
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 16
• Statement of what is to be done in the future• Most decisions involve long lead times and
therefore decisions must be made far in advance of their implementation
• e.g. to build a factory in 2012 we may need to arrange contractors and financing in 2010
Financial planning process
Growth as a financial management goal?
• Growth rates are commonly used in the
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 17
planning process as it is convenient in summarising aspects a firm’s financial and investment policies
• But, growth may not guarantee an increase in share price
Financial planning process
Growth as a financial management goal?• Example: Is sales growth of 15% with constant
net profit margin of 6% preferred over increased profit margin to 7% on constant
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 18
sales and reduced costs?• In this case firm value is enhanced more by the
latter e.g. let original sales = $100• $100 x 1.15 x 0.06 = $6.90 net profit, which is less than
the alternative goal
• $100 x 0.07 = $7.00 net profit
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e : © 2008 Pearson Education Australia
Financial planning process
Dimensions of financial planning
• Planning horizon
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 19
• long run = ‘strategic’• 2 to 10 years, depending on uncertainty and
production cycles e.g. cars v fashion
• short run = ‘operating’• 1 to 2 years
Financial planning process
Dimensions of financial planning (cont.)
• Aggregation
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 20
• smaller investment proposals of each operational unit are added up to and treated as one big project
Financial planning process
Dimensions of financial planning (cont.)
• Establish inputs in form of alternative sets
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 21
of assumptions for important variables• Pessimistic or worst case
• Normal case – most likely assumptions about company and economy
• Optimistic or best case
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e : © 2008 Pearson Education Australia
Financial planning process
Benefits of financial planning
• Interactions• Linkages between investment and financing
• Options
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 22
Options• Develop, analyse and compare different scenarios in a
consistent way
• Avoiding surprises• Develop contingency plans in case assumptions about the
future seriously wrong
• Feasibility and internal consistency• Prioritise conflicting goals e.g. growth over debt reduction

Cash planning
Components of the cash budget
• Sales forecastt l f t
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 24
• external forecast• observable relationships between sales and
e.g. GDP, new housing starts, unemployment rate
• internal forecast• firm’s view on sales as per sales manager and
production limitations

Cash planning
Components of the cash budget (cont.)
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 25
Cash planning
Components of the cash budget (cont.)
• cash receipts
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 26
cash receipts
- forecast sales
- cash sales
- collections of A/R
- lagged
- other
Cash planning
Components of the cash budget (cont.)
• cash disbursementscash dividends
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 27
- cash dividends- purchases- rent- wages- tax- non current assets- interest/principal
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e : © 2008 Pearson Education Australia
Cash planning
Interpreting the cash budget
• net cash flow• combined effect of operating, investing and financing activities
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 28
• ending cash• beginning balance + net cash flow = ending balance
• excess cash balance• Repay debt, invest or return to shareholders?
• required total financing• raise funds – how, where, amount, terms?
Cash planning
Evaluating the cash budget
• meeting a cash shortfall• issue debt or equity, short or long term?
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 29
• coping with uncertainty• run simulations; or pessimistic, most likely and
optimistic scenarios
• cash flow within the month (intra month)• day to day cash flows and solvency
Profit planning
Profit planning: projecting the firm’s overall financial position
• ‘pro forma’ statements are used (projections)
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 30
p (p j )• estimations involved and assume relationships in past
FS will apply this period
• two ingredients needed• previous year’s financial statements• sales forecast for coming year
• accuracy important and marketing department input necessary
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e : © 2008 Pearson Education Australia
Profit planning
Preparing the pro forma income statement
• percent-of-sales method, e.g. Vectra Manufacturing 31/12/2007 (pp.117-20)
( t f d ld) / ( l ) 80%
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 31
• (cost of goods sold) / (sales) = 80%
• (operating expenses) / (sales) = 10%
• (interest expense) / (sales) = 1%
• Vectra example assumes all expenses variable• understates Net Profit when sales grow
• validity of this assumption?
Profit planning
Preparing the pro forma income statement (cont.)
• fixed costs may exist in reality
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 32
• fixed over a relevant range of sales e.g. depreciation, administrative and sales staff?
• variable costs• factory labour, materials, power, taxes
• existence of fixed costs creates ‘operating leverage’
Profit planning
Preparing the pro forma balance sheet to determine external funds required
• Judgmental approach – most popular and incorporates:
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 33
• percent-of-sales method which assumes• Most BS accounts tied directly to sales
• The current levels of all assets are optimal for the current sales level
• calculation of items that change spontaneously• CA - e.g. inventory, debtors
• CL- e.g. creditors, accruals, taxes
• SHE - retained profits (for a given dividend policy/payout ratio)
• CL and Retained Earnings are sources of spontaneous financing
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e : © 2008 Pearson Education Australia
Profit planning
Preparing the pro forma balance sheet to determine external funds required (cont.)
• Judgmental approach – most popular and incorporates:
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 34
• estimation of others – specific management action or discretion required
• NCA – ↑ if no excess capacity, but investment ‘lumpy’
• NCL – will long-term debt (e.g. notes payable, bonds, term loans) change?
• SHE – will Issued Capital change?
• NCL and Issued Capital are sources of discretionary financing used to maintain the accounting equation A = L + OE
Profit planning
Preparing the pro forma balance sheet to determine external funds required (cont.)
• If A > L+OE additional financing needed (AFN) is the ‘plug’ figure in the Balance Sheet
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 35
p g g• AFN can be sourced from
• ↑CL – e.g. bank bills, overdraft
• ↑NCL – e.g. notes payable, bonds, term loans
• If A < L+OE, suggests sales contraction and excess financing exists
Profit planning
Evaluating the pro forma statements/ limitations of the percent-of-sales method
• Benefit of method is its simplicity
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 36
• But assumes we can accurately forecast future financial items like assets as a given % of sales• This may be valid assumption where e.g. inventory levels rise and
fall in direct proportion to sales volume
• But, depending on nature of firm operations and types of assets used, this 1-to-1 relationship may not hold
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e : © 2008 Pearson Education Australia
Profit planning
Evaluating the pro forma statements/ limitations of the percent-of-sales method
• Non-current assets• Large-scale equipment may need to be purchased or built well
beyond the capacity required i.e. ‘lumpy assets’
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 37
y p y q py
• Where excess capacity exists, investment may not increase for a given level of sales
• Current assets• Are assumed values of some variables realistic?
• Cash, debtors and inventories may be hard to control• e.g. ↑interest rates reduce business optimism and affect debtor
payments
• huge price rises for commodities in mining sector
Profit planning
Evaluating the pro forma statements/ limitations of the percent-of-sales method
• Current assets
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 38
• Relationships between sales and other accounts may change beyond a relevant range e.g.
• quantity discounts impacting inventory and COGS
• Some firms purchase finished goods inventories daily on demand, while others maintain a base level which grows less rapidly than sales, so the ratio of inventory to sales declines
Profit planning
Determinants of a sustainable growth rate
• Profit margin
Gitman, Juchau, Flanagan, Principles of Managerial Finance 5e: © 2008 Pearson Education Australia 39
• Dividend policy
• Financial policy
• Total asset turnover
