A Study On Value Creation Measures and Accounting Measures in Predicting Shareholders Return Evidence From Bombay Stock Exchange, India
INTRODUCTION
In today’s competitive world, value and value creation for shareholders are among the most
important goals of businesses. For the sake of achieving his goals, the investor needs some
instruments in order to evaluate the potential value of each opportunity of investment. It is clear that
these instruments are not capable of predicting the exact future, they just provide some piece of
information and advice that help the investor in the decisions he makes. Among these criteria, the
most common types are Return on assets (ROA), Return on equity (ROE) and cash flow from
operations (CFO). Despite the numerous applications of these instruments, theoretically, they are not
related with shareholders’ value or creation wealth. In recent years, the modern evaluation methods
based on economic profit such as Economic value added (EVA), Market value added (MVA),
Refined economic value added (REVA), adjusted economic value added (AEVA), cash value added
(CVA), shareholder value added (SVA) and created shareholder value (CSV) replace the accounting
of accounting measures and have widely drawn the attentions. These criteria follow the performance
assessment with regard to the changes in the value and alongside maximizing the long-term
shareholder returns.
Several studies have been conducted in the last two decades in the international market community
to answer questions such as: (a) whether it is really better to use new value-based measures than
traditional accounting performance measures to measure the corporate financial performance, or (b)
which performance measure best explains corporations’ change in market value. Results are quite
mixed and controversial. This study is inspired by the controversial results of the previous research
and aims to investigate whether traditional and/or new value-based performance measures are
explanatory power relevant shareholder return in Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), India.
OBJECTIVES
To investigate the relation between the Value creation measures and accounting measures in
predicting shareholder return in the Bombay Stock Exchange, India.
MODEL
The study performs a pooled regression analysis to performance measures (i.e., (EVA, REVA,
MVA, SVA, CSV, CVA, ROA, ROE, EPS and CFO) in terms of explanatory power on SR, while
controlling for firm size. The model is:
Where SR of a company over a given period are the actual dividend yields and capital gains to the
company’s stockholders; EVA is the amount of economic value added for the owners by
management, REVA represents refined EVA, estimated by using total market value of the firm’s
assets in calculating total cost of capital; MVA represents market value added, estimated by
summing all projected EVAs in the future.
Shareholder value added (SVA) is defined as the difference between the present value of incremental
cash flow before new investment and the present value of investment in fixed and working capital.
Created shareholder value (CSV) for a company creates value for the shareholders when the
shareholder return exceeds the share cost (the required return to equity). In other words, company
creates value in one year when it outperforms expectations. Cash value added (CVA), contrast to
EVA it is derived from cash flow numbers. CFO represents cash flow from operations; ROA is
return on assets, estimated by dividing operating income before depreciation (OIBD) by total assets.
ROE is return on equity, estimated by dividing OIBD by total shareholders’ equity; EPS is Earnings
per Share and finally SIZE represents firm size that estimated by log of assets. Thus, Performance
measures are calculated as follows
CVA= Operating cash flow – Economic depreciation – Capital charge (Gross investment× K)
THE HYPOTHESES
In testing the pooling regression model, hypothesis of the investigation are developed for
construction sector. Furthermore, construction sectors will utilize the hypotheses, which as follows:
