Q1 various investment opportunities in various sectors

or
• if part of the FCFE is reinvested in the company but in 0 NPV projects.
Q2 investing in other sectors.
• A consumer electronics company, Nokin. The company’s statements show that in 2010 (in ‘000 €) : Revenues: 10.000 Net earnings: 1.750 CAPEX: 3.000 DEPR: 2.000 Interest charge: 500 WCR: 15% of sales Revenues growth next 3Y: 10% Long term growth 5% Targeted debt ratio : 15% Tax rate, Tc: 50% EBIT, Capex and depreciation follow the revenues growth.

FCFE € 950 € 1.045 € 1.150 € 1.298
Q2
• B) 2 intriguing elements in the Nokin’s annual reports :• Do you believe you should let Mitchell know as these elements could
impact your previous analysis?
1. The 2010 figures include a charge to face a potential lawsuit by Nonac who claims Nokin stole some IP. This charge is (hopefully) a onetime 100,000€ for the lawsuit which is expected to start in 2013. This amount has been paid to Mac & Mac their law firm.
Cash disbursement (sunk cost) does not impact the cash flow no adjustment needed.
Q2
• B) 2 intriguing elements in the Nokin’s annual reports :
2. Years ago Nokin acquired a Korean start-up. The price paid at the time represented a significant premium to the book value which created a goodwill on Nokin’s B/S. After a careful review it appears the technology was not that great and the board has decided to write-off the goodwill in order to reflect the value loss. This creates a 1,000,000 amortisation charge in 2010.
Non cash item ! Should be added back in 2010 Depreciation (& amortisation) should be 3.000 (instead of 2.000) in 2011 3000 x 1,1 = 3,300 (i.e. 'the depreciation line' will increase
every year)
Q3 ‘THE PROJECT’
• The seller, wants to get rid of its retail activities. • It is a very thin margin business where the cash cycle is very important:
the working capital needs to be optimised. • Following the well-known rule ‘if you can’t convince them confuse them’
the bankers have provided Eddy and Mitchell with plenty of data:

Q3
• B) Compute the Net Working Capital and check its evolution over 2010 and 2011. Has the company done a good job? What went potentially wrong?• NWC = Current Assets – Curent Liabilities
• NWC = SE + Lt Debt – FA
• NWC = WCR + Net liquid balance (ST Inv + Cash – ST Debt)

Q3
• B) Compute the Net Working Capital and check its evolution over 2010 and 2011. Has the company done a good job? What went potentially wrong?
• The working capital requirement has increased by 146% over 2011 !• Looking at the details, inventories have massively increased while
accounts payable have decreased • --> it seems suppliers want their cash faster.
Q3
• C) Provide a cash-flow statement for 2011. direct and indirect methodologies• (NI+Dep - D WCR) – (AQ) + (D K + D D – DIV) = D Cash

Q3
• D) Assess the FCF. Goal is to steadily acquire a majority stake in the open market before offering a squeeze out. what is the relevant FCF to compute in 2011?
• At this stage BHHC wants to acquire en equity piece • -> the focus is on the Free cash flows of all Equity firm (FCFE)
FCFE = DIV - DK + D CASH = € 93
Q3
• E) Relevant to present a single year FCF?
It is useless but thank you for the computation anyway
Q3
• F) Industry wide profitability analysis: Industry wide average EBIT margin of 5.84% and an EBITDA margin of 7.91%. How does ‘THE PROJECT’ company compare to those benchmarks in 2011? How do you interpret the comparison?
EBIT € 1.482
EBIT margin 6,50%
EBITDA € 1.582
EBITDA margin 6,94%
At very first sight it seems that the company is doing a good job in terms of profitability compared to its peers.However looking at the EBITDA metric it does not look so good. It seems that the D&A level is much lower compared to the industry.Does the company correctly depreciate its assets ? Could it jeopardise its future growth ? Questions to further investigate.
Q3
• G) Merits of the EBTIDA measure to assess the cash generation capabilities of a company. Any comment you could share with them taking into account your recent work on ‘THE PROJECT’ ?
The EBITDA measure does not take into account the WCR nor the need to invest and maintain productive capacity so it should not be used blindly.
