    Brian, Thanks for the video!
    I have 2 questions -
    1) Should we include notes payable in the calculation of invested capital?
    2) Do we have to deduct cash when calculating the IC? (as Damodaran does)

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  5 років тому +5

      1) If the notes payable are interest-bearing Debt, yes. 2) Yes, it's best to deduct Cash because Invested Capital pairs with Enterprise Value. But not all companies do it this way, so it's easiest to follow the company's own treatment in their financial statements in the absence of other instructions.

    Hey Brian, I'm from the UK and I didn't break into IB but I managed to get a summer internship at this UK pension fund that invests in infrastructure. I wanted to re-apply for summers and use the BIWS technical course over this summer after exams, but I was wondering whether my internship experience is relevant enough for IB to break in? I haven't heard much talk about pension funds on forums either

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  6 місяців тому

      Direct investing internships at pension funds are usually good enough to be competitive for UK-based IB roles, but it depends on the rest of your background as well (easier if you go to a top university; maybe a bit more borderline at a semi-target or non-target university). Also, it depends on your timing and whether you're going for summer internships again (e.g., via a Master's program), off-cycles, or something else.

    Excellent video.Thanks, But I have one question on roic calculation. In Other Long-Term Funding Sources why you are not using Closing Cash and Bank Balance from cash flow in it?And do we use cash deposit from custumer while calculating roic of bank? And do we use Insurance Fund+ Catastrophic Reserve while calculating roic of Insurance company?

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  5 років тому

      These metrics don't really apply in the same way to banks/insurance firms. ROIC doesn't even make sense because you can't calculate a metric like NOPAT for a bank or insurance firm, so you shouldn't be using it, as interest income is a critical part of their operations. Take a look at some of our sample lessons on banks/insurance firms for more on these topics.

    Companies also publish Quarterly RoE , RoCE, etc. in their quarterly investor presentations which they release along with quarterly Earnings.
    My question is how do they calculate the Quarterly Denominator value ( Equity, Capital Employed, Invested Capital etc.) on which the quarterly returns are calculated? Do they take annual Denominator value (Invested Capital, Equity, Capital Employed etc.) and divide it by 4 to arrive at quarterly Invested capital, Equity , capital employed etc.?

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  3 роки тому

      Unfortunately, there's very little consistency. It's best to calculate the denominator based on the actual quarterly values, but you'll see a range of different approaches... especially outside the U.S., where half-year reports are more common than quarterly ones.

  • @kanyuan3370

    Thanks for the video!
    6:12, definition:
    Why do we define ROA as NI / Assets? Since assets are funded by both equity and debt, shouldn't we use NOPAT (or EBIT or something that is before interest payment) as the numerator?

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  7 років тому +1

      Assets are not funded by both Equity and Debt. *Core Business Assets* are funded by Equity, Debt, Preferred, and other investor groups. However, *all* Assets in the company are funded by Equity investors.
      This goes back to the definitions of Equity Value (Value of All Assets but only to Equity Investors) and Enterprise Value (Value of only Core-Business Assets, but to All Investors).
      Using NOPAT or EBIT with Total Assets would be inconsistent because Total Assets are only available to equity investors, but NOPAT and EBIT are available to all investors.
      If you wanted to use NOPAT or EBIT, you'd have to use Core Business Assets and subtract Cash, Investments, and anything else that is non-core to the company's main business.

    is 7:00 basically EBI (earnings before Interest)? Or do you not say that because usually interest is paid first and only then you deduct taxes?

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  Рік тому +1

      No. EBI is not the same as EBIT because EBIT is before taxes as well. EBI as a metric does not really make sense because, as you said, companies first pay interest and then pay taxes based on the amount after the interest deduction.

    Thank you for the video! I just don't understand one thing, why don't we include current liabilities in capital employed? why is it that we only include interest-bearing debt but not non-interest bearing debt like accounts payable? what is the logic behind not including these current liabilities, because from what I understand, these current liabilities are a way of financing the current assets. So why include current assets but not include current liabilities? Thank you

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  3 роки тому

      Because short-term liabilities do not count as "capital." They're not raised from outside investors but rather come about as a result of day-to-day business operations, such as paying suppliers and collecting payments from customers. Capital Employed or Invested Capital does not include current assets, either - only funding sources.

    For the ROIC calculation, are you including Retained Earnings in Invested Capital / what is the logic for that?

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  4 роки тому +1

      Because Retained Earnings is a part of Invested Capital. "Invested Capital" means anything the company has generated internally (most components of Common SH Equity) as well as anything the company has raised externally from investors (Debt, Preferred Stock, other components of Common SH Equity, sometimes Operating Leases, etc.).

    I have seen companies whose current assets or liabilities (working capital items) are 10 times greater than the non current assets or liabilities (fixed assets, equity , Reserves, long term debt). Will the return ratios will still be applicable to these companies?
    And what's your view about such companies? Which ratio or financial metric will be best suited to judge these kind of companies where current items are 10-12 times bigger than non current items?

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  3 роки тому

      It's impossible to say without knowing the industry and company you are referring to. If the metrics are still in the range of the metrics for other, similar companies, they could still work. But it is true that certain metrics are not applicable for all types of companies, e.g., ROIC means little for a bank or insurance firm because you can't separate financial and operational activities.

  • @KrishanSingh-gz9op

    Is ROCE valid for banking & financial stocks? If not, then why?

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  3 роки тому

      ROCE is not a valuation multiple. It's a way to evaluate the financial performance and operations of different companies, so it's not used as a direct valuation method. And it's not used for banks because ROE and ROTCE and other variations are more common as banks are all equity value-based.

    Hi Brian,
    Regarding those earning based accounting ratio, I always wonder whether we shall deduct current period of earnings from equity before we do any calculation? Indeed, the ending balance of this period equity already includes this period of net profit.
    If we use net profit/average equity for ROE, Are we doubling net income as it has been included in both numerator and donominator. We are saying this period profit is partly generated by this period profit itself.
    Why we generally ignore the fact that Assets/Equity/Invested Capital has been inflated by profit?

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  7 років тому

      It depends on what you are including in Equity... if you're excluding the Noncontrolling Interest or Preferred Stock, you should use metrics that subtract earnings or dividends from those sources. But if you're leaving in both of them, use just Net Income before those have been subtracted. Earnings from Equity Investments (Associate Companies) should always be included in Net Income when you're using it to form metrics like ROE and ROA because those earnings can go to all the common shareholders.

  • @apuig93
    @apuig93 7 років тому

    Great video. I have one question though: I have heard numerous times that ROIC must be compared to WACC (Cost of capital) to evaluate if a project/company is creating value. However, ROIC is a backward-looking accounting measure of return whereas WACC is forward-looking and based on market expectations (and D/E weights). Does it still make sense to compare the two? (Based on my understanding, IRR is also compared to WACC despite being based on future expectations and CFs instead of earnings).
    Thank you

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  7 років тому +2

      ROIC is not necessarily backward-looking. You can calculate projected ROIC based on the company's projected NOPAT and Invested Capital, which you can track if you have a 3-statement model for the company. So both WACC and ROIC may be forward-looking, and you should compare the forward-looking versions of both of them.

    • @apuig93
      @apuig93 7 років тому

      Thanks for the response. And in which cases would we compare ROIC to WACC vs IRR to WACC. Are they simply different measures of return on investment? The fact that IRR accounts for the compounded average return across (potentially) multiple years whereas ROIC only accounts for a 1-year accounting return on capital is what confuses me the most.

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  7 років тому +1

      IRR vs. WACC is more for long-term investments or acquisitions that you plan to hold and eventually sell or grow for the very long term. ROIC vs. WACC is more about assessing near-term performance as well as recent historical performance and assessing how a company is doing relative to its peers.

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  3 роки тому

      They are similar, but some companies define them slightly differently... one example is that many companies capitalized operating leases for use in ROCE but did not do so in ROIC before the accounting rule changed in 2019. They are probably more similar metrics these days because companies often treat all leases as capital since they're now shown on the Balance Sheet.

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  6 років тому +1

      We don't agree with looking at any one metric or set of metrics to "pick stocks." To pick stocks, you must value the company based on your views and research, understand the market, identify catalysts and risk factors, set a target range, and figure out how to mitigate downside risk. It's more complex than just looking at 3 numbers and saying, "Invest!" Please see some of our stock pitches for examples of how to research companies and make recommendations.

    • @financialmodeling
      @financialmodeling  6 років тому +2

      The Quick Ratio is more conservative because it uses only the most liquid Current Assets that can be converted into cash in 90 days or less. So you will tend to get lower numbers with it, especially for companies with significant Inventory (since Inventory is in the Current Ratio but not the Quick Ratio).
