The Dividend Discount Model: Targeting DividendsThe Dividend Discount Model: Targeting Dividends

• DDM:

Problems: How far does one project?

• Does

provide a good estimate of VE0?

(i) Dividend policy can be arbitrary and not linked to value added.(ii) The firm can borrow to pay dividends; this does not create value(iii) Think of a firm that “pays no dividends”

• The dividend irrelevancy concept

• The dividend conundrum: Equity value is based on future dividends, but forecasting dividends over finite horizons does not give an indication of this value

• Conclusion: Focus on creation of wealth rather than distribution of wealth.

Dividend Discount Model: Dividend Discount Model: Advantages and DisadvantagesAdvantages and Disadvantages

AdvantagesAdvantages• Easy concept: dividends are

what shareholders get, so forecast them

• Predictability: dividends are usually fairly stable in the short run so dividends are easy to forecast (in the short run)

LimitationsLimitations• Relevance: dividends payout is

not related to value, at least in the short run; dividend forecasts ignore the capital gain component of payoffs.

• Forecast horizons: typically requires forecasts for long periods; terminal values for shorter periods are hard to calculate with any reliability

When It Works BestWhen It Works Best• When payout is permanently tied to the value generation in the firm.

For example, when a firm has a fixed payout ratio (dividends/earnings).

Page 7: 3 4   how financial statements are used in valuation

Multistage DDM

The assumption of constant g (i.e. Gordon Growth Model) is not realistic for most firms.

More realistic to use 2 or 3 stage models:

• Growth phase – when company enjoys abnormally high growth (dividends may be low or zero)

• Transition phase – earnings etc growth slows – transition to maturity

• Mature phase – company reaches maturity and earns its opportunity cost of capital. g settles at a long-term level

Page 8: 3 4   how financial statements are used in valuation

Two-stage DDM

Two versions (both assume constant growth at a mature stage):

2. The H-model - assumes that growth declines linearly over time from some initial super-normal rate (gS) to the normal rate (gL)

Where H = half-life in years of the declining-growth period

Some intuition on the H-model: On average, the expected excess growth rate in the supernormal period will be (gS – gL)/2. Through 2H periods, a total excess amount of dividends over the level given by gL of 2HD0(gS – gL)/2 is expected. This term is the H-model upward adjustment to the first dividend term, reflecting the extra expected dividends as growth declines from gS to gL.

For more details on H-model read Fuller and Hsia (1984)

Example (H-Model)

During the past 5 years XYZ Plc’s dividends grew at 24% per year, but analysts’ consensus is that the growth rate is to decline linearly over the next 6 years to a final perpetual growth rate of 6%. The current dividend is £1.37 per share and the required rate of return on XYZ’s equity is 10%. Today’s share price is £57.

What is the current fundamental value of XYZ’s share?Is XYZ fairly priced?

Calculating Free Cash Flows from EarningsCalculating Free Cash Flows from Earnings

It is difficult to forecast free cash flows without forecasting earnings. First forecast earnings and then make adjustments to convert earnings to cash flow from operations. Follow the following steps:

i. Forecast earnings available to common/ordinaryii. Forecast accruals (the difference between earnings and cash flow from

operations in the cash flow statement)iii. Calculate cash flow from operations (Step (i) - Step (ii))iv. Forecast cash investments in operationsv. Calculate forecasted free cash flow, C - I (Step (iii) - Step (iv))

Page 22: 3 4   how financial statements are used in valuation

Definition of FCFF:

Free Cash Flow to the Firm (FCFF) = CF available to the firm’s suppliers of capital after all operating expenses (incl. taxes) have been paid and necessary investments in working capital (e.g., stock) and fixed capital (e.g., PPE) have been made.

Definition of FCFE:

Free Cash Flow to the Equity (FCFE) = CF available to ordinary shareholders after all operating expenses, interest, and principal payments have been paid and necessary investments in working and fixed capital have been made.

Popular versions of DCF models: FCFE and FCFF:Popular versions of DCF models: FCFE and FCFF:

Page 23: 3 4   how financial statements are used in valuation

Computation of FCFE and FCFF:Computation of FCFE and FCFF:

Starting from the Statement of Cash Flow:

FCFE = CFO – FCInv + Net Borrowing

FCFF= CFO + Int(1-Tax rate)* – FCInv

Starting from the Income statement (add-back method):

FCFF = Net Income+ net noncash charges (NNC)+ Interest expense(1-Tax rate)- Net Investment in fixed capital (FCInv)- Net Investment in working capital (WCInv)

=> FCFF = ER + NCC + Int(1-Tax rate) – FCInv – WCInv=> FCFE = ER + NCC – FCInv – WCInv + Net Borrowing=> FCFE = FCFF - Int(1-Tax rate) + Net Borrowing

*If the after-tax interest expense was taken out of CFO, as with US GAAP, then after-tax interest must be added back to get FCFF.

Page 24: 3 4   how financial statements are used in valuation

The NCC which are added back to Net Income include:• depreciation, amortisation, impairment of intangibles• restructuring charges (expense)• losses• deferred taxes

The NCC which are subtracted from the bottom line earnings include:• Restructuring charges (income resulting from reversal)• Gains

Working capital = Current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) – Current liabilities (excluding notes payable and the current portion of long-term debt)

Net Investment in working capital (WCInv) == working capital (for year t) – working capital (for

year t-1)

FCFF vs. FCFE in valuation

• FCFE may be more direct and simpler to use (than FCFF) if the company’s capital structure is relatively stable

• FCFF is more preferable in two cases:A levered company with negative FCFEA levered company with a changing capital structure (FCFF

growth might reflect fundamentals more clearly than FCFE growth, which reflects fluctuating amounts of net borrowings). Also, WACC is less sensitive to changes in leverage than r.

DCF Valuation and SpeculationDCF Valuation and Speculation

• Formal valuation aims to reduce our uncertainty about value and to discipline speculation

• The most uncertain (speculative) part of a valuation is the continuing value. So valuation techniques are preferred if they result in a smaller amount of the value attributable to the continuing value

• DCF techniques can result in more than 100% of the valuation in the continuing value

Page 29: 3 4   how financial statements are used in valuation

Why Free Cash Flow is not a Value-Added ConceptWhy Free Cash Flow is not a Value-Added Concept

• Cash flow from operations (value added) is reduced by investments (which also add value): investments are treated as value losses

• Value received is not matched against value surrendered to generate value

A firm reduces free cash flow by investing and increases free cash flow by reducing investments:free cash flow is partially a liquidation concept

Note: analysts tend to forecast earnings, not cash flows

Page 30: 3 4   how financial statements are used in valuation

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis: AdvantagesDiscounted Cash Flow Analysis: Advantages

AdvantagesAdvantages• Relatively easy concept: cash flows are “real” and easy to think about;

they are not affected by accounting rules• Familiarity: is a straight application of familiar net present value

techniques

When It Works BestWhen It Works Best• When the investment pattern is such as to produce constant free cash

flow or free cash flow growing at a constant rate.• The firm is not dividend paying;• Dividends differ significantly from the firm’s capacity to pay dividends;• Free cash flows align with profitability within a reasonable forecast

period with which the analyst is comfortable; or• The investor takes a control perspective.

Page 31: 3 4   how financial statements are used in valuation

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis: DisadvantagesDiscounted Cash Flow Analysis: Disadvantages

Suspect concept: • free cash flow does not measure value added in the short run; value

gained is not matched with value given up.• free cash flow fails to recognize value generated that does not involve

cash flows• investment is treated as a loss of value • free cash flow is partly a liquidation concept; firms increase free cash

flow by cutting back on investments.

Forecast horizons: typically requires forecasts for long periods; terminal values for shorter periods are hard to calculate with any reliability

Validation: it is hard to validate free cash flow forecasts

Not aligned with what people forecast: analysts forecast earnings, not free cash flow; adjusting earnings forecasts to free cash forecasts requires further forecasting of accruals.

Lessons from Projects 1 and 2Lessons from Projects 1 and 2

1. An asset is worth a premium or discount to its book value only if the book value is expected to earn non-zero residual earnings.

• A firm with P/B=1 earns an expected rate of return on its book value equal to the required return, i.e. expected residual earnings are zero.

2. Residual earnings techniques recognize that earnings growth does not add value if that growth comes from investment earning at the required return.

3. Even though an asset does not pay dividends, it can be valued from its book value and earnings forecasts.

4. The valuation is unrelated to free cash flows

5. If one forecasts that an asset will earn a return on its book value equal to the required return, it must be worth its book value

Ingredients of the ModelIngredients of the Model

For finite horizon forecasts we need three ingredients, besides the cost of capital:

1. The current book value

2. Forecasts of residual earnings (earnings and book values) to horizon

3. Forecasted premium at the horizon

Component 3 is called the continuing value

Drivers of Residual EarningsDrivers of Residual Earnings

Two Drivers:

1. ROCE

• If forecasted ROCE equals the required return, then RE will be zero, and V = B

• If forecasted ROCE is greater than the required return, then V > B

• If forecasted ROCE is less than the required return, then V < B

2. Growth in book value (net assets) put in place to earn the ROCE

RE will change with change with ROCE and growth in book value

Determining the implied growth rate:Suppose the actual market cap. of equity (P0) is $133m:

=> g = 3% i.e. the market is forecasting a growth rate for residual earnings of 3% per year

Determining the implied expected return:

Suppose the actual market cap. of equity (P0) is $147m:

=> RE1 = $12.36 – [r × 100.0] => r = 0.0936 => you expect a 9.36% return from buying the stock at the current market price.

Residual Earnings Model: Pros and ConsResidual Earnings Model: Pros and Cons

AdvantagesAdvantages• Focus on value drivers and profitability of investment and growth in investment

that drive value• Incorporates the financial statements and the value already recognized in the

balance sheet. Forecasts the income statement and balance sheet rather than the cash flow statement

• Uses accrual accounting matches value added to value given up and treats investment as an asset rather than a loss of value

• Versatility: can be used with a wide variety of accounting principles• Aligned with what analysts forecast: analysts forecast earnings• Validation: forecasts of RE can be validated in subsequent audited fin. statements• Predictability: dividends are usually fairly stable in the short run so dividends are

easy to forecast

DisadvantagesDisadvantages• Accounting complexity: requires an understanding of how accrual accounting

works• Suspect accounting: relies on accounting numbers that can be suspect• Forecast horizon: forecast horizons can be shorter than for DCF, but the forecast

horizon does depend on the quality of the accrual accounting
