3. GOLDEN RULE
www.antonioalcocer.com
“We always work with cash-flows in
investment appraisal”
4. “Cash-flow is a fact,
net income
just an opinion”
-Pablo Fernández IESE-
The net income amount is affected by accounting methods & assumptions made
(i.e. depreciation & amortization that are not “real” cash inflows or outflows) www.antonioalcocer.com
Cash-flows are real money “entering” or “exiting” the company or project
5. P&L (*)
Net sales
-Cost of goods sold
GROSS PROFIT
HOW GOOD IS YOUR BUSINESS
-Selling, General & Administration GENERATING “$” DUE THE OWN
-Other operating expenses NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
EBITDA
-Depreciation & Amortization
-Impairment
EBIT
-Interests FINANCING STRUCTURE
INCOME BEFORE TAXES
-Taxes
CORPORATE TAXES FRAMEWORK
NET INCOME
(*) P&L=Profit & Loss account simplified
P&L and Net Income are affected due to the accounting methods used
Net income is an opinion due to it depends on the calculation
of the cost of goods sold, amortization method used & impairment
Net income is not real cash-flow outlays of money www.antonioalcocer.com
Depreciation, amortization & impairment are not real cash-flow outlays
6. “So
now
I understand
in investment appraisal
we use CASH-FLOWS”
www.antonioalcocer.com
7. But how many
cash-flows exist?
www.antonioalcocer.com
8. Free CASH-FLOW of the project (FCFF)=
Available “$” for the funds providers:
_BANKS
_SHAREHOLDERS
www.antonioalcocer.com
9. www.antonioalcocer.com
Free CASH-FLOW of the project (FCFF)=
+EBIT (1-t) X
+D&A
+/-WORKING CAPITAL CHANGE
-CAPEX
FCFF= Real money generated by the project after accounting adjustments (no real cashflows outlays)
D&A=Depreciation & Amortization (added because no real cash-outlay happened)
CAPEX=Capital Expenditures (Investment in fixed assets)
Working Capital Change= Investment in current assets
t=Corporate taxes in %
(*) Simplified formula of the cashflow, there are other terms: non-cash transactions adjustments, other current assets changes, proceeds from long term assets sales, changes in long term assets; to be considered
10. Equity Free CASH-FLOW (FCFE)=
Available “$” for the
equity providers:
_SHAREHOLDERS
www.antonioalcocer.com
11. www.antonioalcocer.com
Equity Free CASH-FLOW (FCFE)=
+FCFF
+PROCEEDS NEW BANKING DEBT
- AMORTIZATION CURRENT DEBT
- INTERESTS OF DEBT * (1-t)
- DIVIDENDS PAID & T.S. REPUR.
FCFE=Equity free cash-flow.
Cash-flow available for shareholders after paying the banking funs providers.
FCFE would be the money available for shareholders
T.S. REPUR= Treasury stock repurchase

15. Houston, we have a problem:
Funding needed:
$300 mill. in 1st year
$150 mill. in 2nd year
www.antonioalcocer.com
16. Don’t worry
Funds providers:
_banks
_shareholders
will gently dispose
them
www.antonioalcocer.com
17. “OK, have your funds, but [BANK]
at a 6.6% annual interest rate
rat
& maximum amount 65%
Kd= 6.6%
www.antonioalcocer.com
18. Ke= 20% [SHAREHOLDERS]
“OK, have your funds,
but at a 20% annual
interest rate & 35%
maximum amount”
www.antonioalcocer.com
19. So,
which amount/ratio should I ask for
Don E. Botín [banks]
& Don C. Slim [shareholders]?
www.antonioalcocer.com
20. It seems clear that
The cost of financing this project
Would be the
Weighted average
Cost of capital
WACC
www.antonioalcocer.com
22. So the $300 mill. + $150 mill.
will be financed
by a 65% banking debt
by a 35% shareholders’ equity
with a WACC=10%

3. PAYBACK PERIOD
(*) Most important discussed www.antonioalcocer.com
26. 1. NET PRESENT VALUE = NPV www.antonioalcocer.com
1) All FCFF are discounted to today & summed
2) Using compound interest formula
3) At a WACC rate
27. www.antonioalcocer.com
1. NET PRESENT VALUE=$0
[Undertake project]
Cash-flows generated exactly pay the cash-flows expectations requested by
the banking & shareholders (funds providers)
28. 1. NET PRESENT VALUE>$0 www.antonioalcocer.com
[Undertake project]
Cash-flows generated pay all the cash-flows requested by fund providers in
order to meet their profit expectations (NPV=0) & additional cash-flow=NPV
goes as excess profit for shareholders
29. www.antonioalcocer.com
1. NET PRESENT VALUE<$0
[Do not undertake project]
Cash-flows generated are not enough
to pay the cash-flows demmands by
funds providers according to their
profit expectations (=WACC)
30. 1. Net present value = NPV – WACC=10% www.antonioalcocer.com

Payback period does not take into account time value of money, so it should not be used in a stand alone basis but as complementary info to NPV and IRR
