A Model of Two Simple Companies


Company A plans to reinvest $50 million to grow the company. The financial staff projects a 10% rate of return on the new investment. This investment leads to an extra $5 million in profits. For simplicity, we assume all ratios, investment rate etc, never change.

Boston Scientific

NEW YORK, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Boston Scientific reported a smaller third-quarter net loss on Tuesday as increased sales of implantable defibrillators helped to offset charges g and a decline in sales of its drug-coated g stents. The company's adjusted profit of 18 cents per share topped Wall Street expectations by 2 cents, according to Reuters Estimates. Estimates Total net sales for the quarter fell to $1.98 billion from $2.05 billion, but that was in line with Wall Street expectations. "It was kind of an on-target quarter and right now with Boston Scientific, Scientific not falling below the range of expectations is a good thing," said Phillip Nalbone, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets.

The Drivers of Profit Growth


Using the lessons learned from our two companies, we can create a general relation between g (growth), IR (reinvestment rate), and ROIC (return on invested capital).
Company A Reinvestment Rate (IR) Return on New Investment Growth in Profits 50% 10% 5%

Growth = Reinvestment * Rate of Return

G = IR * ROIC
Company A: Company B: 5% = 50% * 10% 5% = 25% * 20%

Company B Reinvestment Rate (IR) Return on New Investment Growth in Profits 25% 20% 5%

In order to develop the key value driver formula, we rely on two simple substitutions: the definition of cash flow and the growth, IR, and ROIC relation.

Substitution #1 Cash Flow = Profit (1 IR)

Growth vs. Value Indices


In 1992, Standard and Poor's and Barra (now MSCI) began a collaboration to produce Growth Growth and Value Value subsets of S&P S&P's s industry-leading equity indexes. indexes Through 2008, the sole criteria for the Growth/Value split was based on the market-tobook ratio for each firm.

Whats in a Name Anyway?


Yet, what did growth Yet growth really mean? Were companies in the growth index growing? Based on evidence from an analysis of the indices by the corporate performance center at McKinsey and Company, the answer is no. Even though growth stocks slightly outgrow value stocks, the difference is not significantly significant! The two histograms look very similar, and growth outgrows value 10.1% to 8.7%.

In actuality, it is return on capital that distinguished the two indices.

An Alternative Interpretation
Action Start with the key value driver formula.

g Profit 1 ROIC Value = WACC g g Capital ROIC 1 ROIC Value = WACC g

From the definition of ROIC ROIC, Profit equals invested capital times ROIC.

Move ROIC inside the brackets.

Value = Capital

ROIC g WACC g

22

2011 SIFMA Securities Industry Institute

Corporate Strategy and Valuation

An Alternative Intepretation
Action Add and Subtract WACC in the numerator.

Value = Capital

ROIC WACC + WACC g WACC g

Separate p the numerator

(ROIC WACC) Value = Capital + 1 WACC g

Distribute invested capital and were done!

(ROIC WACC) Value = Capital + Capital WACC g

Discounted EVA Formula


In order to determine what happens when growth changes, changes the formula must be rewritten, where InvCap equals invested capital.

(ROIC WACC) Value = Capital + Capital WACC g


EVA TM Value = Capital + WACC g
Now, as growth rises, what happens to value?

The Dilemma of Strong Performance


Enterprise value is comprised of the companys book value plus the present value of economic profits going forward. Based on the economic profit formula, what should a companys enterprise value equal if the company was expected to earn an ROIC equal to the cost of capital going forward?

Analyzing Enterprise Value Over Time


To test the richness richness of a stock stock, we can decompose enterprise value into invested capital, the present value of current performance, and the present value of future growth. When the present value of future growth is high, management has strong expectations to meet. This analysis is similar to analyzing EV/EBITDA multiples.
