• A firm increases value by – Growing sales – Earning high income per dollar of sales– Keeping the net assets that generate the sales as
low as possible
2
• First level breakdown: Analyze the components of ROCE– Return on common equity (ROCE)– ROCE = Comprehensive income (CI)/CSE– There are two factors affecting ROCE• Operating efficiency• Financial leverage
3
• If a company has leverage (i.e., it has NFO)– ROCE = RNOA + [FLEV x (RNOA – NBC)]• RNOA = Return on net operating assets
= operating income/NOA
• FLEV = NFO/CSE• (RNOA – NBC) = spread (difference between RNOA and
net borrowing cost (NBC))
4
• If a company has no leverage (i.e., it has NFA)– ROCE = RNOA - [(NFA/CSE) x (RNOA – RNFA)]• RNOA = Return on net operating assets
= operating income/NOA
• NFA/CSE – reflects the fact that the firm is a net lender, i.e., it has financial income in addition to operating income• (RNOA – RNFA) = spread (difference between RNOA
and the return on net financial assets, RNFA)– A positive spread means operating activities are more
profitable than financing activities (which is usually the case), and ROCE will be lower than RNOA
– RNFA = Net financial income/NFA
5
• Second level breakdown: Analyze the components of RNOA– The two drivers of RNOA are• Operating profit margin (PM)
= Operating income (after tax)/Sales– Shows the profitability of each dollar of sales
• Asset turnover (ATO)= Sales/NOA
– Measures sales revenue per dollar of NOA– The inverse, 1/ATO = NOA/Sales, shows the $ amount of NOA
used to generate 1$ of sales. For example, if the ATO = 2, 1/ATO = 0.5, indicating that the firm uses $0.50 of NOA to generate $1.00 of sales
6
• Third level breakdown: Analyze the components of PM and ATO– For PM drivers, analyze the components that
make up operating income– For ATO drivers, analyze the components of NOA• A useful ratio in analyzing ATO is operating leverage
(OLLEV)• OLLEV = Operating liability (OL)/NOA
– Operating liabilities reduce the NOA that are employed, and increases ATO
