    0:00 - 0:10
    Intro
    • cash flow is important
    • how to "analyse" company's cash flow statement
    • the factors you should consider before investing
    0:51 - 1:17
    Why is the cash flow statement useful/important?
    • understand how a company's "operations" are "running"
    • where the company's money is coming from
    • understand how the company's money is being "spent"
    • tells you how much cash a business is "generating"
    • the amount of cash a business is able to generate over its lifetime is what determines that company's stock price.
    The more cash a stock is able to produce, the more that stock is going to be worth, all else being equal.
    0:30 - 0:51, 1:17 -
    • summarises the amount of cash that "enters" and "exits" a company
    • positive number = cash entering
    • negative number = cash exiting
    • Statement is broken up into 3 distinct sections: "operating" activities, "investing" activities, and "financing" activities.
    • operating activities includes any "sources" and "uses" of cash from "business activities". It shows how much cash is "generated" from a company's products or services.
    • operating activities might include: receipts from sales of goods or services,
    interest payments, income tax payments, payments made to suppliers (for goods and services used in production), salaries and wages to employees, rent payments, and any other type of "operating expense"
    1:55 cash flows from investing activities includes any "sources" and "uses" of cash from a company's "investments"
    • includes purchases of PPE, investments in other companies, money spent on acquiring entire companies (acquisitions)
    • the "investment activies section" is almost always a negative number, especially for companies that are "growing" , because they are using the cash to "grow" the business through "investing" in things like new locations, new equipment to make more products, or even buying other companies.
    2:23 cash flow from Financing activities includes the "sources" of cash from investors and/or banks, as well as the "uses" of cash "paid" to shareholders.
    • includes payments of dividends, payments for stock repurchases, repayment of debt
    • changes in cash flows from financing activities are cash "in" when "capital" is "raised" and cash "out" when "dividends" are "paid"
    • so, if a company "issues" a "bond" to the "public", the company "receives" cash "financing", and that is reflected by a positive number on the cash flow statement. However, when the company "pays" back the money that it borrowed, that is reflected by a negative number on the cash flow statement.
    3:35 - , 4:08 -
    • Going through cash flow statement line by line.
    • The important things an investor needs to watch out for.
    • first line is company's net income. Net income = how much company made in profit.
    • net income is "calculated" on a different financial statement called the income statement.
    • after starting with net income at the top of the cash flow statement, the end goal of the operating activities section is to be able to "calculate", commonly referred to as for short.
    In between, the net income and operating cash flow line, there's a few important items I'd like to draw your attention towards:
    • non cash expenses
    • Depreciation and amortization "line item". Usually for most companies, this is the largest number in this section of the cash flow statement.
    • Depreciation means that you "write off" the "value" of an "asset" over its "expected" "useful life". The "value" of almost any asset "depreciates" over time, and you can "write off" a certain amount as an "expense" "against" taxes every year.
    • So, for example, let's say Coca Cola buys a piece of "equipment" that "costs" $1000 that the company believes they will be able to use for 5 years - so its "useful life" is 5 years. This means that this specific piece of equipment depreciates at $200 every year. However, Coca Cola paid for the $1000 piece of equipment "in cash" "up front". So, the $200 annual depreciation expense is considered a "non cash expense", because "no additional cash" is "leaving" the business each year.
    • As a result, depreciation and amortization expense for the year needs ot be "added back" to "net income" when we are "calculating" "cash from operations"
    5:39 The next "line item" that is important to pay attention to is "stock-based compensation". This is when a company "pays" its employees in "stock" instead of "purely just" "cash".
    • So, for example, let's say you work at Facebook. Each year you may get $150 000 in "cash" and another $50 000 in "stock" of the company. This is a way companies encourage employees to stay employed in the company for longer, and is very common in the tech industry. Coca Cola isn't a technology company, so this number for them is relatively low. But this is a very important item to consider if you are analysing a tech company.
    • Just like depreciation, stock based compensation expense is considered a noncash expense. because no actual cash is "leaving" the business. So it also gets added back to net income to calculate "cash flow from operations"
    • Jumping down the cash flow statement a bit, another important item is the " ". This is also referred to as the company's "". Think of this as the cash needed to "run" the "short term" "operations" of the business.
    • Things such as "paying" "suppliers" and cash that a business is "owed" from its "customers", but "not yet paid".
    • Typically, for companies that are "growing", this is a negative number on the cash flow statement, because more "cash" is needed to "manage" the "day to day operations" of the business as it is "growing". However, for more mature companies like Coca Cola this number can vary from being a cash "inflow" ( a positive number ) and a cash "outflow" ( a negative number ), depending on the year. As we see with coca cola, this line was a "source" of cash in 2020 and 2019 but a "use" of cash in 2018.
    7:12
    • Additionally, "cash flow from operations" is used to "calculate" a company's "free cash flow".
    • "Free cash flow" is the single most important metric in evaluating a business. This is because the "value" of any "investment" whether it is a "stock", "apartment building" or "small business", is determined by "the amount of cash flow" the business is able to "generate" over its "life".
    • In order to calculate FCF, we start with the "cash flow from operations" number. Then we "subtract out" what is referred to as "capital expenditures" or "capex". Capex is cash used by a company to acquire, upgrade, or maintain physical assets such as property, plants, buildings, technology, or equipment. Capex is often used to undertake new projects, or help the company grow, or even just
    "maintain" its operations. Making capital expenditures on "fixed assets" can include repairing a roof, purchasing a piece of equipment, or building a new factory. So, if Coca Cola were to increase the size of one of its factories

In calculating the Free Cash Flow, were you substract Net Capex from CF from Operations, some Annual Reports already have a "Capital Expenditures" in the investing Activities of a Statement. Do we select that amount instead of Purchase of PP&E and disponsals or do we need to realize another equation?

    @bingham7957 2 роки тому +3

    At 14:09 when she calculates the net of stock repurchases and issuance, the +/- signs are reversed from what they are on the KO cashflow statement. For 2020, the amount for Issuance of Stock on the KO statement is 647, but when she calculates the net value she shows this as "-647". Similarly for stock repurchase, the KO cashflow statement for 2020 shows (118) and she shows it as "118". This also occurs for the amounts in 2018 and 2019. I don't understand why she calculates it this way, particularly since she also uses this net amount later in calculating the metric of taking this amount for net stock issuance/repurchase and dividing it by free cash flow.
    BTW - I'm really enjoying learning from all 3 videos she has done on the different financial statements.

    • @Icthi
      @Icthi Рік тому +1

      I had a hard time with this too. At the end of the day I guess the important thing is to have the same sign for dividends and repurchases and the opposite sign for issuances, which she does have. The way she labels it as “spent on repurchases” is also consistent with the positive number here. But again I had a hard time getting why the signs are flipped from the way they are on the KO cash flow statement.

    Nice video! Don’t you use the maintenance capex for FCF calculations instead of just capex?

    I wanted to ask that cant companies just postpone their purchases and other payments and rapidly collect cash before the balance sheet date to hide the true picture?
    Does cash flow presents the true picture?

    Great video :) Question for you, if you don't mind. Up until now, two of the metrics I look at when valuating a business is 5 year average growth of Revenue and EBITDA. But I'm learning that it's better to look at FCF. However, I'm learning quickly that investments, share buy backs etc. can skew the average 5 year FCF growth if a company made a big investments or bought a lot of shares in 1 year. How can I most accurately determine a average 5 year growth rate for a company?
    For example. If we look at MED. It looks like they did well if you only look at their Revenue and EBITDA - it increased from 2020 to 2021. But if you look at their FCF it declined significantly. So it negatively skews the 5 year average FCF growth rate completely (when in reality, investments and share buy backs are good for a company).

      If I may help - check the trading assets (trade receivables + stock) and the trading liabilities (trade payables + accruals). You may likely see a huge growth in the trading assets, meaning revenue growth was based on credit and not cash payment, while they had to pay cash for trade liabilities (this should be low). If you go further to calculate the time it takes to buy stock/inventory, hold till sales, and collect payment on sales, you may notice that it takes longer than the time it takes to pay for the stock purchased. Therefore, FCF will be impacted negatively, if they are unable to collect on the receivables, even though revenue is growing. Hope this helps.

    Please explain why cash flow (or free cash flow) is a better metric than earnings when evaluating a company. Thank you!

      Because it shows actual cash earned by the company. You'll still need to dig deep to understand the actual FCF though.

    • @FarEastAlpaca

      To oversimply, companies owners have incentives to artificially reduce earnings and thereby reduce corporate tax incurred, which is based on earning instead of cash flow.

      Earnings can be manipulated by accounting, FCF is a truer picture
