Financial Modeling Essentials
• Model layout makes all the difference…

What is the
purpose of the
model?

Vertical / Tower Model Horizontal / Matrix Model

• Think modular!
• Income statement: sign convention (positive or positive / negative)
• Level of aggregation (income statement and balance sheet layout)
• Length of forecast
• Model with iterations switched off in Excel Options

Step 1: Income Statement

1 4
Projections
Historicals • Build projections by linking to the assumptions
• Select your desired income statement
• Work top down
structure (line items)
Sales = Salest-1 * (1 + growth assumption)
• Input historicals (from published income statement) Cost of sales = (1 – gross margin assumption) * current sales
• Normalize profit figures, as necessary
(e.g., EBITDA, EBIT, Net income, EPS, etc.) • Do not complete depreciation, amortization, and interest
income / expense line items yet

2 3
Historical Ratios
• Calculate ratios to gauge the company’s Forecast Assumptions
historical performance • Derive income statement assumptions from company
Examples: guidance, research reports, or historical performance
Sales growth % = Current / previous – 1
• Assumptions should be explained/backed up
Gross margin = Gross profit / sales
Effective tax rate = Tax expense / pre-tax income

Step 2: Balance Sheet Operating working capital represents the


company’s investment in short-term operating
net assets (e.g., accounts receivables,
A) Operating Working Capital (OWC) inventories, prepaid items, accounts payables,
accrued expenses, etc.)

1 4
Historicals Projections
• Link operating working capital assets and liabilities from
• Key Operating Working Capital Formulas:
balance sheet into working capital schedule
Operating current assets – Receivables = Receivable days / 365 * Sales
Operating current liabilities = Inventory = Inventory days / 365 * COGS
Operating working capital Payables = Payable days / 365 * COGS
• Calculate the cash flow impact of operating working capital • Link working capital balances into the balance sheet and
(Assets have an inverse relationship with cash and liabilities working capital cash flow impact into the cash flow
have a direct relationship with cash) statement

2 3
Historical Ratios
• Calculate Days ratios:
Forecast Assumptions
Receivable days = Accounts receivable / sales * 365
• Derive OWC assumptions from company guidance,
Inventory days = Inventory / COGS * 365
Payable days = Accounts payable / COGS * 365 research reports or historical performance
• Assumptions should be explained/backed up
• Other operating items can be calculated as % of sales or
COGS, depending on the nature of the item

Step 2: Balance Sheet Property, plant, and equipment represents the


company’s investment in long-term physical
assets (e.g., land, buildings, delivery trucks,
B) Property, Plant, & Equipment (PP&E) manufacturing equipment, etc.)

1 4
Historicals Projections
• Input historical capital expenditures
• Forecast capital expenditures and depreciation using the
(usually found in the published cash flow statement)
assumptions derived in the previous step
• Input historical depreciation • Link the resulting numbers back to the financial statements:
(usually found in the published cash flow statement) ending PP&E to the balance sheet; depreciation to the
• Link PP&E balance from the balance sheet income statement; depreciation and CapEx to the cash flow
statement
Do not try and reconcile historical PP&E opening and closing balances

2 3
Forecast Assumptions
Historical Ratios • Derive CapEx and depreciation assumptions from company
• Calculate historical ratios: guidance, research reports or historical performance
CapEx / sales • Capital expenditure is often forecast as % of sales.
Depreciation / CapEx • Depreciation is often forecast as % of capital expenditure or
Depreciation / beginning PP&E % of beginning PP&E
• Assumptions should be explained/backed up

Step 2: Balance Sheet Intangible assets have no physical form;


Intangibles are amortized when they have a
definite life (e.g., licenses; customer lists;
C) Intangible Assets patents, etc.)

1 4
Historicals Projections
• Input historical intangible assets additions
• Forecast additions and amortization using the assumptions
(usually found in the published cash flow statement)
derived in the previous step
• Input historical amortization • Link the resulting numbers back to the financial statements:
(usually found in the published cash flow statement) ending intangibles to balance sheet; amortization to income
• Link intangibles balance from the balance sheet statement; additions and amortization to the cash flow
statement
Do not try and reconcile historical intangible opening and closing balances

2 3
Forecast Assumptions
Historical Ratios • Derive additions and amortization assumptions from
company guidance, research reports, or historical
• Calculate historical ratios: performance
Intangibles additions / sales
• Some companies disclose forecast amortization expense
Amortization / beginning intangibles guidance in their published filings
• Assumptions should be explained/backed up

Historicals Projections
• Link the other long-term assets and liabilities from the • Forecast the other long-term assets and liabilities using the
balance sheet into the other long-term items schedule assumptions derived in the previous step
• Calculate the cash flow impact of the other long-term assets • Link the resulting numbers back to the financial statements:
and other long-term liabilities balance sheet and cash flow statement

2 3
Forecast Assumptions
• Derive your assumptions from company guidance, research
Historical Ratios reports or historical performance
• Decide what ratios are appropriate for each of the other • Some of the projections may be flatlined due to the difficultly
long-term assets and liabilities, depending on the specific and reliability of forecasting specific items
nature of each item • Using % of sales as a basis may be used as a generic
assumption (the rationale is that the asset / liability needs to
increase to support the business growth)

Step 2: Balance Sheet What causes equity to change over time?


Net income; Dividends; Share issuance;
Share repurchases
E) Shareholders’ Equity and Shares Outstanding BASE Analysis: Beginning Balance +
Additions – Subtractions = Ending Balance

Historicals Projections
• Link shareholders’ equity from the balance sheet into the
ending balance of the shareholders’ equity schedule • Forecast $ amounts spent on share buybacks and dividends
and $ amounts received as a result of share issuance
• Input historical dividends (usually found in the published • Complete shareholders’ equity roll forward BASE analysis
cash flow statement, or statement of shareholders’ equity)
• Link ending shareholders’ equity to the balance sheet
• Input historical share repurchase and share issuance data • Link net income, dividends, share issuance, and share
(usually found in the published cash flow statement, or in repurchases to the cash flow statement
the notes to the financial statements)

2 3
Forecast Assumptions
• Derive assumptions for share repurchases (e.g., number of
Historical Ratios shares repurchased or $ amounts), share issuance
• Calculate the historical Dividend payout ratio: (e.g., number of shares issued or $ amounts), and dividends
Dividend payout ratio = Dividends paid / Net income paid (e.g., using the payout ratio)

Step 2: Balance Sheet Shares Outstanding


Weighted Average Shares Outstanding
(WASO) is used to calculate Earnings per
E) Shareholders’ Equity and Shares Outstanding Share (EPS); Shares outstanding is used to
calculate market capitalization

1 4
Historicals Projections
• Input the basic and diluted number of shares outstanding
as of the balance sheet date • Forecast the end-of-year basic and diluted
(usually found in the notes to the financial statements) number of shares outstanding
• Forecast the average basic and diluted
• Input the basic and diluted average number of number of shares outstanding;
shares outstanding link them to the income statement
(usually found in the EPS note or in the income statement)

2 3
Forecast Assumptions
Historical Ratios • Derive the number of shares issued and/or repurchased,
using the data in the shareholders’ equity schedule
• Calculate the impact of dilutive securities (e.g., stock
• Derive a dilution assumption either as an absolute amount
options, convertible debt) by calculating the difference
or using the historical calculation from the previous step
between historical diluted and basic WASO
• Check your assumptions using company guidance,
research reports or historical performance

Key Learning Insight

Dealing with Circular Models Embedded errors “blow up” models because
Excel can “undo” an input but not a calculation.
Error is then “trapped” in a circle.

Error Types
– #VALUE: a cell reference to a letter rather
than a number
– #REF: a reference to a cell that no longer
exists. Usually caused by deleting a cell
– #DIV: an equation divides by a zero or a
blank cell
– #NAME: a reference to a name that does not
exist

Key Learning Insight

How to Jump Start a Model Build a CIRC Switch to turn circularity “ON” or
“OFF” by replacing interest expense/income
formulas with:
1) Fix the Error • IF(CIRC =0,0,debt_interest!L38)
• IF(CIRC=0,0,debt_interest!L42)
2) Copy interest expense/income formulas on the IS
3) Paste the formulas off to the right, beyond the last column

4) Delete the original interest expense/income formulas


̶ This effectively “hard codes” zeros, breaking the circularity

5) Copy interest expense/income formulas back into IS

Balancing A Model: The Steps
• Balance historical values
• Quick sanity check on BS and CF
̶ Wrong signs on Cash Flow statement
̶ Unreasonable changes on Balance Sheet
• Divide error by 2
̶ Usually a sign error
• Look for consistent trend in the error
̶ Usually omission of an item
• Correctly linked to / from other schedules?
• Check total formulas and other calculations
• Reconcile the changes by hand

Set Up Income Statement (IS)
Step 1: Set up the
income statement

– Sources for appropriate


line items: financial
statements, management
projections and/or research
– Show more detailed line
items if it aids in your
analysis
– Personalize the income
statement to the company /
industry

Set Up Balance Sheet (BS)
Step 2: Set up the
balance sheet

– Sources for appropriate


line items: financial
statements, management
projections and/or research
– Make simplifications or
more detailed break-out of
line items as appropriate
(based on how you think
you’ll project them for
future periods)
– Personalize to the
company / industry

Set Up Cash Flow Statement (CF)
Step 3: Set up the cash
flow statement

– Historical entries are


usually not made (historical
cash flow statements are
often difficult to reconcile)
– Be sure to keep your
columns consistent with the
income statement & other
schedules (e.g., column K
is the same year on CF, IS,
BS statements)
– Use a consistent layout
because each line item will
be an imported reference
from another schedule
