FINANCIAL PLANNING

• What is financial Planning?

It provides a roadmap for guiding, coordinating, and controlling firms actions to achieve goals.

Two Key aspects of financial planning:-

1) Cash Planning

2) Profit Planning

Page 2: Financial Planning

Financial Planning Process

• Long Term or Strategic financial Plan

Lays out a company’s action plan ranging over a period of 2 to 10 years.

• Short Term or Operating financial Plan

Specify plan that covers financial actions to be taken over a 1to 2 years time period.

Page 3: Financial Planning

Long term or Strategic Plan

•Proposed outlays for purchase of Fixed Asset

•Research & Development Activities

•Making a Product development action

•Major sources of financing

•Termination of existing projects products or

line of business

•Repayment or retirement of debts

•Any planned acquisition

Proforma or Projected Financial Statements

1.For assessing whether the firm’s anticipated performance is in line with the firm’s own target or investor expectations.

2.To estimate the effect of proposed operating changes. Doing “what if” analysis.

3.To anticipate the firm’s future financing needs

4.To estimate future free cash flows

Page 6: Financial Planning

Sales Forecasts

•Monthly cash flows resulting from projected sales receipts

•Outlays related to production , inventory and sales

It can be derived from external forecast

or Internal Forecast or both.

Page 7: Financial Planning

Financial Statement Forecasting

• The Percent of Sales Method

Many items on the income statement and balance sheets are assumed to increase proportionally with sales.

Constant Ratio Method

Page 11: Financial Planning

• Required assets = $1,250.0• Specified sources of fin. = $1,062.8• Forecast AFN = $ 187.2

What are the additional funds needed (AFN)?

Page 12: Financial Planning

Implications of AFN

• If AFN is positive, then you must secure additional financing.

• If AFN is negative, then you have more financing than is needed.– Pay off debt.– Buy back stock.– Buy short-term investments.

Page 13: Financial Planning

Assumptions about How AFN Will Be Raised

• No new common stock will be issued.

• Any external funds needed will be raised as debt, 50% notes payable, and 50% L-T debt.

Page 14: Financial Planning

How will the AFN be financed?

Additional notes payable = 0.5 ($187.2) = $93.6.

Additional L-T debt = 0.5 ($187.2)= $93.6.

Page 19: Financial Planning

Forecasted assets = $1,250 (no change) Forecasted claims = $1,245 (higher) 2nd pass AFN = $ 5 (short)

The $5 shortfall came from the $5 reduction in retained earnings. Additional passes could be made until assets exactly equal claims.

$5(0.10) = $0.50 interest on 3rd pass.

AFN Equation

Additional= Required - Spontaneous - IncFunds Inc in assets Liabilities in RENeeded

AFN = (A*/S0)S - (L*/S0)S - M(S1)(RR)

Page 21: Financial Planning

Definitions of Variables in AFN

• A*/S0: assets required to support sales;

called capital intensity ratio.

S: increase in sales.

• L*/S0: spontaneous liabilities ratio

• M: profit margin (Net income/sales)

• RR: retention ratio; percent of net income not paid as dividend.

Page 22: Financial Planning

Assets must increase by $250 million. What is the AFN, based on

the AFN equation?

AFN = (A*/S0)S - (L*/S0)S - M(S1)(RR)

= ($1,000/$2,000)($500)

- ($100/$2,000)($500)

- 0.0270($2,500)(1 - 0.4)

= $184.5 million.

Page 23: Financial Planning

Equation method assumes a constant profit margin.

Pro forma method is more flexible. More important, it allows different items to grow at different rates.

Equation AFN = $184.5 vs.

Pro Forma AFN = $187.2Why are they different?

Page 24: Financial Planning

Factors that affect External Financial Requirements

• Sales Growth ( increase in sales)

• Capital intensity ( A*/ S0)

• Spontaneous liabilities to sales ratio (L*/S0)

• Profit Margin (M)

• Retention Ratio (RR)

Page 25: Financial Planning

How would increases in these items affect the AFN?

Higher sales:

Increases asset requirements, increases AFN. Higher capital intensity ratio, A*/S0?

Increases AFN: Need more assets for given sales increase.

• Higher dividend payout ratio?

Increase AFN: Less retained earnings.

• Higher profit margin?

Decrease AFN: Higher profits, more retained earnings.

Page 26: Financial Planning

Pay suppliers in 60 days rather than 30 days?

Decrease AFN: Trade creditors supply more capital, i.e., L*/S0 increases.

Higher profit margin:

Increases funds available internally, decreases AFN

Higher Retention Ratio:

Decreases AFN: Due to increase in

retained earnings.

Relationship between Sales Growth and Financial Requirements

1. Financial Feasibility

2. Effect of Dividend Policy on financing needs

3. Capital Intensity

4. Profit Margin

Page 28: Financial Planning

When Balance Sheet Ratios are subject to change

Three such conditions are:-

1.Economies of Scale

2.Lumpy Assets

3.Excess assets due to forecasting errors
