orecasting Financial
tatements

ter & Gamble (P&G), the world's largest consumer products company, is "one of the leaders in the race to harness
ive streams of data for managing a business better. The company has been profit-forecasting on a monthly basis for
40 years, trying to predict components such as sales, commodity prices and exchange rates. But the amount of realtime data it has been able to process has increased vastly ... now P&G
borrows liberally from tools born on the Web: ubiquitous high-speed networking , data visualization and high-speed analysis on multiple streams
of information. The tools allow P&G to make in minutes the decisions that
used to take weeks or months, when data had to be collated and passed
through committees on their way to the top .... P&G is on the verge of
ng everyone's talents known and tracked, all information about sales decided at the executive level every week and proion viewed in near real-time worldwide. The company talks in terms of increasing the amount of collected data sevenfold.
airy promises of networked technology are here, at a scale rarely, if ever, deployed before. " (Forbes 2011)
P&G's financial performance has been impressive. In 2011 , it generated over $13 billion of operating cash flow in one
e most severe recessions in recent memory. Its abundant cash flow allows it to fund the level of advertising and R&D
ssary to remain a dominant force in the consumer products industry as well as to pay over $5.7 billion in dividends to
holders.
P&G's product list is impressive. It consists of numerous well-recognized household brands.
I sales of Procter & Gamble products are distributed across its three business segments
Illustrated in the chart to the side. A partial listing of its billion-dollar brands follows:
Beauty. Head & Shoulders, Olay, Pantene, Wella

Fabric Care and Home Care. Ace, Ariel, Dawn, Downy, Duracell, Febreze, Gain, Tide
Baby Care and Family Care. Bounty, Charmin, Pampers
Pet Care, 4%
P&G's recent successes have coincided with strong leadership. CEO Robert
Donald 's innovations and market savvy have consistently propelled P&G. Business Week
plains that from its Swifter mop to battery-powered Crest SpinBrush toothbrushes and Whitestrip tooth whiteners, P&G
outshined its peers. Since assuming the CEO job, McDonald has guided P&G to successive increases in sales, income,
d cash flows. Such increases have driven impressive gains in stock price as evident from the graph below:
Still, we know that forecasts of financial performance drive stock price. Historical financial statements are relevant to the
ent that they provide information useful to forecast financial performance. Accordingly, considerable emphasis is placed
generating reliable forecasts.

Forecasting financial performance is integral to a variety of business decisions ranging from


investing to managing a company effectively. We might , for example, wish to value a com~a
ny's common stock before purchasing its shares. To that end, we might use one of the ~al~at10n
models we discuss in later modules that rely on financial statement forecasts as a crucial mput.
Or we might be interested in evaluating the creditworthiness of a prospective borrower. In that
ca~e we forecast the borrower's cash flows to estimate its ability to repay its obligations . We
might also be interested in evaluating alternative strategic investment dec~si~ns. In this case,
we can use our forecasts to evaluate the shareholder value that the strategic mvestment alternatives will create. All of these decisions require accura.te financial forecasts. In this moduled
we illustrate the most common method to forecast the mcome statement, balance sheet, an
statement of cash flows.

FORECASTING PROCESS
L01 Explain the
process of forecasting
financial statements.

11 -3

The forecasting process estimates future income statements, balance sheets, and statements. of
cash flows, in that order. The reason for this ordering is that each statement uses informauon

forecasting process begins with a retrospective analysis. That is , we analyze current and
or years' statements to be sure that they accurately reflect the company 's financial condition
performance. [f we believe that they do not, we adjust those statements to reflect the comy's net operating assets and the operating income that we expect to persist into the future.
ce we've adjusted the historical results, we are ready to forecast future results . Why would we
to adj~st hi~torical results? The answer resides in the fact that financial statements prepared
conformity with GAAP do not always accurately reflect the "true" financial condition and
ormance of the company. This adjusting process , also referred to as recasting or reformulat(or scrubbing the numbers), is not " black and white ." It requires judgment and estimation .
atedly in earlier modules , we have explained estimation, accounting choice, deliberate
agerial i~tervention in reporting , and transitory versus persistent items. These concepts are
gral to adjustments we make to financial statements. It is important to distinguish between the
ses of GAAP-based financial statements and the adjusting process for purposes of forecast. Specifically, GAAP-based statements provide more than just information for forecastino-. For
ample, financial statements are key inputs into contracts among business parties. This ~eans
t historical resu lts , including any transitory activities, must be reported to meet manao-ement's
uciary responsibilities. On the other hand, to forecast future performance, we need ~o create
~t of financial statements that focus on those items that we expect to persist, with a special
phasis on persistent operating activities .

rbage-ln , Garbage-Out
l forecasts are based on a set of forecasting assumptions. For example, to forecast the income
tement, we must make assumptions about revenue growth and other assumptions about how
penses will change in relation to changes in revenues. Then , to forecast the balance sheet, we
e assumptions about the relation between balance sheet accounts and changes in revenues.
nsequently, before we make business decisions based on forecasted financial statements, we
ust understand and agree with the underlying assumptions used to produce them. The old adage ,
arbage-in, garbage-out," is apt. That is, the quality of our decision is only as good as the qualof the information on which it is based . We must be sure that our forecasting assumptions are
nsistent with our beliefs and predictions for future growth and key financial relations.

ptimism vs Conservatism
any people believe that it is appropriate to be overly conservative in their financial forecasts so
to minimize the likelihood of making a bad decision. "Let's be conservative in our forecasts
that we are certain our forecast will be met" is a frequent prelude to the forecasting process.
lthough this approach might appear reasonable , being too conservative can result in missed
al~a~le_ opportunities that, in the end, can be very costly. Instead , our objective is not to be overly
lim1stic or overly conservative . The objective for forecasting is accuracy.

omputing forecasts out to the "nth decimal place" is easy using spreadsheets. This increased
ecision makes the resulting forecasts appear more "professional ," but not necessarily more
curate. As we discuss in this module , our financial statement forecasts are highly dependent on
r ~eve.n.ues forecast. Whether revenues are expected to grow by 4% or 5% can markedly impact
of1tab1hty and other forecasts . Estimating cost of goods sold and other items to the nth decimal

assumpti on are as accurate as possi ble.

Summary of Forecasting Process


Some professiona ls assert that fo reca ting is mo re art than science. Whatever it is, it must begin
with a bu iness analys is, including an as es ment of general econo mic acti vity and the competiti ve fo rces within the broader business environment that we di cuss in Module J. Ideally, forecasts should be develo ped at an indi vidual-product level and consider competiti ve advantage,
trends in manufacturing costs, log istical requirements, necessary marketing support, after-sale
custo mer service, and so fo rth . The narrower the foc us, the more we can focus on the business
environment in which the company operates and the mo re info rmed o ur fo recasts are . Unfortunately, a external users of fi nancial stateme nts, we o nl y have access to gene ral- purpose financial
statements, whi ch we adju t as we see fi t , given publicly ava ilabl e info rmation and our own
as ess me nts. Then, we formul ate fo recast assumpti ons that are reasonable and consistent with the
econo mi c rea lities defining that company.

All-Important Revenues Forecast


The revenues (sale ) fo recast is , arguably, the most cruc ia l and di ffic ult estimate in the forecas ti ng
process. It is a cruc ial estimate because other income statement and ba lance sheet accounts derive,
either directly or indirectly, fro m the revenue fo recast. As a result , both the income statement and
bal ance sheet grow. with increa es in reve nues. The income statement refl ects th is 011rowth concurrentl y. However, diffe rent balance sheet accounts refl ect revenue growth in di ffe rent ways. Some
balance heet accounts antic ipate (or lead) revenue gro wth (invento ries are one example). Some
accounts reflect thi s g rowth concurrently (acco unts receivable). And some acco unts reflect reve nue growth with a lag (for example, companie usually expand plant assets only after growth is
deemed sustainable) . Conversely, when revenue decline, so do the income statement and balance

following accounts are impacted directly, and with a relati vely short lead o r lag time, by the
nues forecast (for convenience, our discussion assumes an increase in revenues):
Cost of goods sold are impacted via increased in ventory purchases, added manufac turin g
personnel, and greater depreciation fro m new manufacturing PPE.
Operating expenses increase concurrentl y with , or in anti cipatio n of, increased revenues;
these expenses inc lude increased costs fo r buyers, hi gher ad verti sing cost , payments to sa le
personnel, costs of after-sale custo mer support , logistics costs, and admini strati ve costs.
Cash increase and decrea es di rectl y with increases in reve nues as rece ivabl es are co llected
and as payables and accruals are paid .
Accounts receivable increase directl y with inc reases in revenues as more products and services are sold on credit.
Inventories no rmall y increase in anti cipatio n of highe r sales volume to en ure a suffic ient
stock of in ventory avail able fo r sa le.
Prepaid expenses increase with increases in advertising and other ex penditures made in
antic ipatio n of hi ghe r sa les.

PPE assets are usually acquired once the revenues increase is deemed susta inable and the
capacity constraint is reached; thus, PPE assets increa e with increased revenue, but with a lag.
Accounts payable increase as additional inventories are purchased on credit.
Accrued liabilities increase concurrent with increases in revenue-dri ven operating ex penses .
Other operating assets and liabilities such as deferred revenues, deferred taxes, and pension , increase and decrease concurrent with revenues.

namics of Balance Sheet Growth


o understand the dynamics of growth in the balance sheet, it is useful to view it in three sections
depicted in Exhibit l J .2. Each of these sections experience growth at different rates. As evident
m Exhibit 11 . l , most net operating assets grow roughly concurrently with increases in revenues.
s net operating assets are normall y positi ve, the asset side of the balance sheet grows faster than
e li ability side, in dollar terms . This creates an imbalance that must be managed by the company's
fi nance and treasury di vi ions.

't l l .3 as a reference point.

The "buffer zone" represents that section of the balance sheet that responds to short- and intenne..
diate-term imbalances. Cash declines as other o~erating assets increase,_ and comp~nies typically
finance that cash decline with short-term borrowings such as a seasonal lme of credit from a bank.
Conversely, companjes typically invest excess cash in marketable securities (also titled short-term
investments) to provide liquidity to meet future operating needs, investment opporturuties, and
similar near-term demands . Comparues manage the "financing section" of the balance sheet on a
long-term basis to provide funding for relatively permanent increases in net assets, such as PPE
or even the acquisition of other companies. Further, income is reinvested in the business, longterm debt is borrowed, and equity securities are sold in proportions that are necessary to maintain
the desired financial leverage for the company. Although the cash reinvestment deci sion is made
continually, increases in long-term debt and equity occur relatively infrequently to meet longerterm funding needs. If the store of liquidity in the buffer zone is not needed for the foreseeable
future, it can be used to retire long-term debt or to repurchase the company's outstanding shares.

Dynamics of Statement of Cash Flows Growth


The dynamics of the statement of cash flows mimic the dynamics of the income statement and
balance sheet. This is because the statement of cash flows is prepared using both the income
statement and balance sheet. Specifically, once we have forecasts of the income statement and
balance sheet, we can compute the forecasted statement of cash flows just as we would its historical counterpart.

Identifying the Forecasting Steps


We apply the forecasting process in a four-step sequence:

1. Forecast revenues.
2. Forecast operating and nonoperating expenses. We assume a relation between revenue
and each specific expense account.
3. Forecast operating and nonoperating assets, liabilities and equity. We assume a relation
between revenue and each specific balance sheet account.
4. Adjust short-term investments or short-term debt to balance the balance sheet. We use
marketable securities and short-term debt to balance the balance sheet. We then recompute
net nonoperating expense (interest/dividend income or interest expense) to reflect any adjustments we make to nonoperating asset and liability account balances.

EP 1: FORECASTING REVENUES
casting revenues is the most difficult and crucial step in the forecasting process. Further,
y of the remaining income statement and the balance sheet accounts are forecasted based on
assumed relation with forecasted revenues. We typically utilize both financial and nonfinancial
ormation in developing forecasts. Each account must be separately analyzed using all relevant
ancia1 and nonfinancial information, including the insights gained from earlier modules of this

k.
To forecast revenues, then, we want to use all available, relevant information. But deciding
hat information is relevant and determining how to use the information varies across forecast. As well, the level of information itself can vary across forecasters. For example, if we have
ess to inside information and we are developing forecasts as part of the strategic budgeting
ess for a company, we might have access to data regarding the competitive landscape, caner trends and disposable income, new product introductions, production and marketing plans,
d many other types of inside information. In this case, we can build our revenues forecast
m the bottom up with unit sales and unit prices for each product or service sold. However, if
e are a company outsider, we have much less information. In this case, we must rely on public
tements by company management in conference calls and meetings in addition to the inforation disclosed in the management discussion and analysis (MD&A) section of the 10-K and
e growth of individual product lines from segment disclosures . We also use publicly available
ormation from competitors, suppliers, and customers for additional insight into broader trends

The net gain on the sale of the pharmaceuticals business, in the table above, for the year ended
June 30, 2010, also includes an after-tax gain on the sale of the Actonel brand in Japan which
occurred prior to the divestiture to Warner Chilcott.

e revenues, expenses , and earnings for Procter & Gamble in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, as
ported in its income statement, exclude the revenues, expenses, and earnings from its discontind operations. The detail relating to the revenues , expenses, and earnings of discontinued operaons (and their gain on sale) is reported in the footnote disclosure shown above. This additional
formation allows us to better evaluate the drivers of observed growth of revenues and earnings,
d we would be remiss if we included the revenues and gains relating to discontinued operations
our forecasts.
pact of Existing vs New Store Growth Retailers typically derive revenue growth from two
urces: (1) from existing stores (organic growth), and (2) from new stores . We are interested in
e breakdown between these two growth sources as the latter is obtained at considerably more
st. Target Corporation provides the following footnote disclosure to its 10-K report.

Total sales for the Retail Segment for 2010 were $65,786 million, compared with $63,435 million in
2009 and $62 ,884 million in 2008. All periods were 52-week years. Growth in total sales between
2010 and 2009 resulted from higher comparable-store sales and additional stores opened , whereas between 2009 and 2008, growth in total sales resulted from sales from additional stores opened,
partially offset by lower comparable-store sales.

m Apple 's disclosure we can derive several useful insights for forecasting purposes.
On average, a Mac_sells for $ 1,279 and the per unit selling price has decreased during the
~ h
past three years; unit sales, however have increased by 3 1% and 7o/r.
years.
'
o per year or t e past two

Target's sales for fiscal years 2008, 2009 , and 2010 are all on a comparable 52-week year.
Should a fiscal year include a 53-week year (as Target reported in 2006) , the extra week's sales
will make it appear as if sales are growing at a higher rate than they are . To accurately forecast
revenue growth, we must use numbers and rates that reflect a consistent 52-week period each
year. To do thi s, we assume that sales are recorded evenly each week and we adjust revenues
for the 53-week year by multiplying reported sales by 52/53. We then use the adjusted 52-week
proforma sales to compute growth rates .
2. More than 43 % ([3.7 % - 2. 1%]/3.7% = 43.2%) of Target's 20JO sales growth is attributable
to new store openings.
3. The average per store planned capital expenditure is about $44 million ($574 million reported
CAPEX for new stores/13 new stores opened in 2010 as reported in the 2011 MD&A).
Although acquired growth provides the organic growth of the future, it comes at considerable
cost per store .
Impact of Unit Sales and Price Disclosures Forecasts that are built from anticipated unit
sales and current prices are generally more informative, and accurate, than those deri ved fro m
historical dollar sales. Most companies, however, do not provide unit sales data in their IO-Ks.
Apple, Inc., is an exception, and the following footnote disclosure from its 10-K provides useful
information (like Target, Apple operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year):

The iP~~ unfit sales are decreasi ng over the past two years, probably reflecting increased
compet1t1on rom other MP3 players and market saturation .

~g~ ~verage sales price of iPods in 20 JO is $ 164, JO% hi gher than the average sales price in

~Phone unit sales are 39,989 thousand, up 93 % from 2009 and 244% from 2008 .
~Phone dollar sales are $25,179 million in 20 JO , 93 % higher than 2009 and 273 % greater than
Jn

2008.

Apple h~s only begun to realize the effects of its iPad as of fiscal year 20 JO with 7 458 th
sand units sold and total revenues of about $4,958 million.

Although fluctuatio ns in fo re ig n-exchange rates affected indi vidual product categories in

Sourc~s in Forecasting Revem~e lnv~stors use a variety of data sources . Companies


de data in conference calls and meetings with analysts. P&G , for example, provided the folg guidance on organic sales growth in its Barclay 's Capital Conference from 2011 :

Morgan S_tanley forecasts organic sales growth for all of P&G at 4.5%, consisting of 2.8% growth
in volume, a 3.2% increase in prices, a -1.5% decline in growth due to product mix (increasin
percentage of lower-priced goods) . Morgan Stanley analysts also forecast an increase in sales
0.1 % resulting from a weakening of the $US in countries in which PG sells its products.
Following are a few observations that Morgan Stanley analysts conveyed to us about the way
in which their sales forecasts are developed:

1. Each product forecast is built from the bottom up; that is, analysts use information about
a product's market share and the forecasted growth rate for the market of each product
within each country the product is sold . Development of such forecasts uses information
about product market, pricing strategy, and competitive landscape. With this info rmation
analysts forecast overall market growth, the market share for each product, changes i~
product pricing, and changes in the product sales mix. The total sales forecast is the sum
of individual product forecasts for each product market.
2. P&G, like many companies,provides analysts with its own forecasts of sales growth by products,
disaggregated into price and volume. Morgan Stanley analysts also have internally-developed
databases of commodity-price indices, inflation indices, and other macroeconomic indices
against which to evaluate the reasonableness of company-provided forecasts.
3. Sales forecasts are determined by quantity and price along with growth forecasts of the product markets, the company-provided future pricing strategy, and forecasts of price elasticity of
demand . Analysts commonly consider, for example, the effects of a current discount pricing
strategy to increase market share or to gain entrance into a new market, which are followed
by price increases once volume levels and customer loyalty is solidified.

FY 12E

G's organic growth has ranged from 2% to 3% for the two most recent years , but it expects
s to recover as the world economy was expected to emerge from the recession in those previyears. Consequently, P&G's forecast of its revenue growth through fiscal year 2012 was in
range of 3% to 6%. Company expectations are an important input to our forecasts of revenue
wth. Furthe'., as we discuss.above, total organic sales growth is a function of volume and price,
P&G provided the following quarterly information for forecasting these two variables:

Returning to P&G, we saw that Morgan Stanley forecasted no acquisitions or divestitures.


Acquisition of brands is a normal component of P&G 's operating activities, yet acquisitions are
one-time occurrences and come at a cost. We, like Morgan Stanley, focus on revenue growth that
is not acquired, and we believe that organic sales growth is the best predictor of core operating
revenue growth. P&G defines organic sales growth as follows:

+1 %

<(

Organic Sales Growth Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of sales growth excluding
the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign exchange from year-over-year comparisons.
We believe this provides investors with a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends
by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. Organic sales is also one of the measures used to
evaluate senior management and is a factor in determining their at-risk compensation.

Summary of Determining Revenue Growth Forecast To recap, each segment is di saggregated into its business units and product lines . The presumption is that determining the revenue
forecasts from the sum of product forecasts is preferable to forecasting total sales growth because
the former uses more information. This implies that we use as much detailed product information
as reasonable (cost vs. benefit) to forecast revenue growth. For example, we saw Morgan Stanley
analysts use data on the Beauty Care and Grooming units to aggregate into the Beauty segment.
We also saw that these forecasts were determined from both price and volume for each product in
each market. Finally, we saw that analysts forecasted from quarterly data and determined annual
forecasts as the sum of quarterly forecasts for each unit and segment.

addition to these company-provided sources of information , analysts can also use internally
databases on macroeconomic data, commodity prices , and other inflation indices ,
ong with ~ata from competing companies, and other publicly available and proprietary datases. Most investors have access to similar information.

TEP 2: FORECASTING EXPENSES


e n~xt step in the forecasting process is to predict expenses; for our purposes this includes
perating expenses and non.operating revenues and expenses.

Forecasting Operating Expenses


Generally, we use the following formula to forecast individual operating expenses:
Forecasted operating expense

= Forecasted revenues

x Forecasted operating expense margin

11-16

11-17

Module 11 I Forecasting Financial Statements

Module 11 I Forecasting Financial Statements

The forec~sted operating expense margin is .the expe~se exp;essed as a percent o.f sales (th6
common-sized expense). We normal!~ start w1~h the pnor years n:iargin .and then adjust it bllSed
on our business analysis. One exception to this general formula 1s for income taxes where
.
~
apply the following:

Forecasted income taxes

= Forecasted income before taxes x

Forecasted effective tax rate


Procter & Gam ble Co (PG)

In this case, we begin with forecasted income before taxes, not with sales , and the current effec.
tive tax rate is often a reasonable predictor of the company's long-term effective tax rate, takin
into consideration any transitory items reported in the effective tax rate reconciliation in the ~
footnote .

Forecasting Nonoperating Expenses

Gross Profit

Generally, forecasts of individual line items of nonoperating expenses are obtained from the following " no change" forecast model:

= Nonoperating expense for prior period

Forecasted nonoperating expense

Then, using the segment forecasts, Morgan Stanley analysts predict each line item of the income
ment for each quarter of FY2012. We show the following excerpt from their spreadsheet as an
tion. (there are slight differences between the internal analyst spreadsheets reproduced in thi s
le and the published report in the appendix due to timing and other differences)

This assumes no change in nonoperating expenses , with an exception of a "zero forecast" for
items related to discontinued operations . If we make balance sheet financing or investment adjustments in Step 4, we must adjust one or more nonoperating expenses.

To illustrate the forecasting of operating expenses , we tum to Procter & Gamble . P&G's management forecasts an increase in operating profit and cash flow through fiscal year (FY) 2012 as
shown in the following slide from the company 's 2011 presentation to analysts .

In addition to the 4.6% revenue growth , P&G's report to analysts also predicts an improved operating profit margin for FY2012.
Turning again to Morgan Stanley 's analysts, we see that they forecast operating profit by
business unit, consistent with how they determine sales forecasts. Following is an excerpt from
the Morgan Stanley spreadsheet that has analysts' forecasts of pretax income:

Sep-10

Forecast Assumptions

perating Expenses for P&G


is section describes the process of forecasting operating expenses (we forecast nonoperating
revenues and expenses following our adjustments to the balance sheet in Step 4).
orecasting Net Sales. Following our discussion above, we forecast net sales to increase by
.6%, which is the forecasted outcome from a predicted 4.5 % increase in organic sales, driven
rimarily by a 2.8% projected increase in volume and a 3.2% increase in selling prices, offset by
1.5% decline in sales from changes in product mjx (selling a greater proportion of lower priced
products) and a positive 0.1 % foreign exchange effect.

Beauty
Beauty Care

3,440.0

% Growth
Grooming
% Growth

1,895.0

2,299.0

1,900.0

Total forecasted pretax income is the sum of forecasted pretax income for each business unit
(which includes $3,734 .6 million from the Beauty Care business unit and $2,312.8 million from
the Grooming business unit as illustrated above).

Forecasting Cost of Products Sold Cost of products sold as a percent of sales increased from
48.0% in 2010 to 49.4% in 201 I. Morgan Stanley analysts forecast an increase in the COGS percentage by 50 bp (basis points, or lOOths of a percent) to 49.9% . That forecast considers the proportion of raw materials and labor in the production process of each product along with forecasts
of changes in commodity costs and wage rates. The 50bp increase in COGS, and the resulting
decline in the gross profit margin described above, are reasonable given the recessionary climate
and the product markets .

Module 11 I Forecasting Financial Statements

Module 11 I Forecasting Financial Statements

Subtotaling Gross Profit Gross profit is a subtotal, forecasted sales less forec~sted cost of gOOds
sold (as an alternative, in some cases, we might choose t~ forecast g_ro~s profit; m_ that case, cost of
goods sold is the "plug" figure). P&G does not report this subtotal m its current income statem
and we, therefore, do not include it in our statement (there is no requirement under GAAP to prov:
this subtotal , yet many companies do report it).

a starting point, we begin with Procter & Gamble 's balance sheet for 2011 in Exhibit 11.6.
will refer to these statements throughout this section.
Procter & Gamble Balance Sheet
2011

Forecasting Selling, General and Administrative Expense P&G has reduced SG&A.
expenses as a percent of sales from 31.3 % in 2010 to 3 1. 1% in 20 11 , and it cited further expected
improvement during meetings with analysts. A recessionary climate encourages P&G to focus
on further overhead reduction, and coupled with P&G 's continued foc us on manufacturing and
supply chain improvements , justifies a forecast of reduced SG&A expenses as a percent of sales.
Our forecast is for SG&A expenses to be 30.6% of sales, which is a 50bp improvement on 20ll
and slightly more than the 20bp improvement P&G had from 20 10 to 2011. This is a trend tha~
P&G highlighted in meetings with analysts.
Subtotaling Operating Income Operating income is a subtotal, but we sti ll check its reasonableness. Our forecasts imply a 19 .5% operating income margin, which is close to the previous
year's operating income margin of 19.2%. Further, it is reasonable to expect limited improvement
in operating income margin as sales increase and expenses remain under control in the postrecessionary period 2012-20 14.
Nonoperating Expenses for P&G To this point, we have forecasted sales and individual operating expenses, yielding a subtotal for operating income. The nonoperating section of the income
statement requires estimates of nonoperating assets (which yield interest and/or dividend income)
and nonoperating li abilities (which produce interest expense) . We predict nonoperating revenue and
expense once we estimate nonoperating assets and liabilities at the conclusion of the next section.
Also, since we do not yet have forecasts of nonoperati ng revenues (expenses), we cannot forecast
pretax income, tax expense, and net income. Thus, we complete our forecasts for the income statement at the conclusion of Step 4 .

STEP 3: FORECASTING ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND EQUITY


L03 Forecast the
balance sheet.

Step 3 is to forecast balance sheet items , which cons ist of assets, liabilities, and equity. Special
emphasis is on forecasts of operating assets and liabilities. We generally assume no change in
nonoperating assets, li abi lities, and equity (we discuss exceptions to thi s rule in thi s section and
further adjustments to those accounts in Step 4). Step 3 proceeds with five steps as shown in
Exhibit 11.5 .

rocess of Forecasting Balance Sheet Items


e normally make one of three general assumptions when forecasting assets , liabilities, and
equity.

11-20

11-21

Module 11 I Forecasting Financial Statements

Module 11 I Forecasting Financial Statements

1. Forecast amounts with no change. We can use a no-change forecast , which is commo
nonoperating assets (investments in securities , discontinued operations, and other nono n
ing investments) . After we have generated forecasts of the balance sheet, we must reex
the no-change forecasts to see if they are reasonable or if they require adjustment.
2. Forecast contractual or specified amounts. We can use contractual or other speci
payment tables to forecast se lected balance sheet items . For example, footnote disclos
contain scheduled maturities for long-term debt, capital leases, and mandatory redeemable
preferred stock for a five-year period subsequent to the financial statement date. We can USe
those schedules and assume that the required payments are made as projected .
3. Forecast amounts in relation to revenues. We can use an item 's relation to revenues to
forecast that item. The underlying assumption is that, as revenues change , so does that item
in some predictable manner. For example, in the case of operating assets , it is reasonable to
assume that the required investment in receivables, inventories , and PPE is related , in some
manner, to the level of revenues . Similarly, in the case of operating liabilities, it is reasonable to expect that accounts payable will grow with COGS (which grows with revenues),
and accrued liabilities will grow with increases in payroll , utilities , adverti sing, and other
expenses (which all grow with revenues).
When forecasting amounts in relation to revenues , the third forecastin g assumption above, there
are three common methods: (1) forecasts using the percent of revenues , (2) forecasts us ing turnover rates , and (3) forecasts using days outstanding ratios.

Forecasts Using Percent of Revenues Forecasts that use the percent of revenues build on the
relation between revenues and the account being forecasted ; this relation follows:
Forecasted account balance = Forecasted revenues x (

Actual account balance)


A
ctua1 revenues

For example, if the relation between the actual account balance to revenues is l 0%, and forecasted
revenues equal $100 , then the forecasted account is $10 , computed as $ 100 X 10% .

Forecasts Using Turnover Rates Turnover rates have the following general form : Turnover
rate = Revenues (or COGS)/ Average account balance. Using algebra to rearrange terms, we
obtain: Average account bala,nce = Revenues (or COGS)/Turnover rate . Substituting forecasted
va lues we get:
Forecasted account balance

= Forecasted revenues (or COGS)/Turnover rate

entional way using the average account balance, we would forecast the average account balrather than the ending account balance. In this case, we must make one of the two adjustments
ed in the previous section.

walence of the Three Forecasting Methods If we compute the turnover rate and the
outstanding using ending account balances (meaning that we are properly forecasting the
g account balance) , it does not matter which of these three forecasting methods we use. To
trate, consider a company with current-period revenues of $1 ,000 and a forecasted revenue
th of 4% (or $1 ,040, computed as $1 ,000 X 1.04). Assume that the current accounts receivending balance i:t $200 and that we want to forecast accounts receivable for next year. Using
h of the three methods above , our forecasted accounts receivable is $208 and is computed as

h of these forecasting methods yields the same result. Analysts commonly use either percent
sales or days outstanding. The choice between percent of sales and days outstanding depends
the audience. Percent of sales is simple and intuitive . Days outstanding is well suited for
alyses that are used in discussions with operating managers , as most managers are familiar with
ys outstanding ratios and can identify with projected changes (for example, what is the effect of
llecting our receivables two days faster?). The choice is a matter of personal preference as all
e methods yield the same result. We use the percent of sales in our fore casts of balance sheet

counts because (1) it appears to be the most commonly used method, (2) it is the method that
&G management uses in its meetings with analysts, and (3) it is the method used by Morgan
anley (and the majority of investment houses that we are familiar with) in the analysis illustraon we provide in this module and in Appendix 11 A.

orecasting Balance Sheet Items


e illustrate the forecasti ng of balance sheet items for Procter & Gamble .

orecasting Operating Assets

Consequently, if we have forecasted revenues (or COGS) and a forecasted turnover rate, we can
forecast the account balance. However, there is a problem with this method if we use turnover rates
as traditionally defined using average account balances; in this case the method would forecast the
average account balance. Balance sheets report ending account balances . This issue is typically
resolved in one of two ways:

s section describes the process of forecasting operating assets using the percent of revenues
ethod. Morgan Stanley analysts forecast balance sheet items as a percentage of sales (except
for Inventories and accounts payable that are forecasted as a percent of cost of goods sold). We
provide an excerpt from the Morgan Stanley forecasting spreadsheet in Exhibit 11.7, which lists
the forecasting assumptions (the entire spreadsheet is in the analysts' report in Appendix llA).

1. Compute the turnover rate using ending balances rather than average balances; then, our
forecast is for the ending account balance.
2. Multiply the forecasted average account balance by 2 and then subtract the beginning account
balance; this yields the forecast for the ending account balance .

Forecasting Accounts Receivable P&G reports accounts receivable as a percentage of sales


equal to 6.8 % and 7 .6% at year-end 2010 and 2011 , respectively. Recall that Morgan Stanley 's
forecasts were prepared in a recessionary environment. It was reasonable , therefore , to expect a
continuing decline in the fina ncial condition of P&G customers; meaning that some P&G customers were likely to pay more slowly, if at all. This increases predicted accounts receivable relative
to sales . Accordingly, Morgan Stanley analysts forecasted a slight increase in P&G's ratio of
accounts receivables to sales for 2011 quarters , but returning to the FY2011 level of - 7 .7% of
projected sales by year-end 2012. Using 7 .7% accounts receivable-to-sales and forecasted sales
of $86,357 million, we forecast accounts receivable of $6,649 mill ion ($86,357 million X 7 .7%).
The 7 .7% equates to an average collection period of 28 .l days (0 .077 X 365 days).

Forecasts Using Days Outstanding Days outstanding ratios have the following general form:
Days outstanding = Account balance/Average daily revenues (or COGS), where Average daily
revenues (or COGS) = Revenues (or COGS)/365. We can forecast the account balance by rearranging terms as follows:
Forecasted account balance

= Days outstanding x

[Forecasted revenues (or COGS)/365]

If days outstanding is computed using the ending balance of the account, the resulting forecast is for
the ending balance of that account. However, some analysts prefer a shortcut method to compute days
outstanding as 365/Turnover rate . Their justification is based on the mathematical equality where
[365/Turnover rate] = [365/(Revenues/Account balance)] = [(Account balance X 365)/Revenues]
=[Account balance/(Revenues/365)] . Importantly, however, if this turnover rate is computed in the

Forecasting Inventories Morgan Stanley analysts forecast inventories as a percent of COGS


rather than as a percent of sales. Either approach is fine and does not materially affect the forecasts as long as the method is used consistently. The motivation for use of COGS is that inventories are stated at cost, not at retail. As a result, many analysts use COGS to forecast inventories
and the related accounts payable. (Jn the assignments, we forecast inventories as a percent of
sales so that all balance sheet items are forecasted based on the same basis.) P&G 's inventories

increased in 2011 from 16.8% of COGS to 18.l % of COGS. In the MD&A section of its 10-K,
P&G 's management attributes the inventory increase to:
higher commod ity costs, business growth and increased stock levels in advance of initiatives and
sourcing changes. Inventory days on hand increased by five days due to the impact of foreign
exchange, higher commodity costs and increased safety stock levels.
Morgan Stanley analysts forecast a slight easing of these pressures to yield an annual level of
17 .9% of COGS for FY2012 (they estimate inventories on a quarterly basis as: Quarterly COGS
X 4 X Inventory %COGS; the year-end estimate, then, is the 4Q estimate, and the 17 .9% is
the ending 4Q inventory estimate divided by the annual COGS estimate). The 17.9% of COGS
equates to an inventory days on hand of 65 .3 (0.179 X 365 days, yielding a 0.1 rounding difference from the spreadsheet), which is down from 66.l days at year-end 2011.
To be consistent with our approach of estimating balance sheet items in relation to the sales
estimate, we forecast inventories at an equivalent rate of 8.6% of sales (computed from Morgan
Stanley's estimate of ending inventories of $7,557.2 million divided by analysts' estimates of
annual sales of $87 ,754.5 million-numbers from the FY20 l2E column of the forecasted balance
sheet and income statement on pages 6 and 7 of the Morgan Stanley analysts' report in Appendix
llA). This results in forecasted inventories of $7 ,427 million ($86,357 million X 8.6%).
Forecasting Deferred Income Tax Assets and Other Current Assets Morgan Stanley
analysts forecast a slight increase in deferred tax assets to 1.6% of sales (up from 1.4% of sales in
FY201 l) and a reduction of other current assets from 5.3 % of sales to 4.5 % of sales. Companies
generally provide little information about these accounts in their footnote and MD&A disclosures.
We assume a continuation of these percentages in FY2012.
Forecasting Capital Expenditures, PPE, and Accumulated Depreciation Capital expenditures (CAPEX) are often a large cash outflow and a major component of free cash flow, which

I Forecasting Financial Statements

e focus of cash-flow-based equity valuation models. (Free cash flow is defined in Module 13
OPAT - Increase in NOA] and is also defined in finance literature as [Net cash flow from
rating activities - CAPEX] .) CAPEX is used in forecasting PPE (gross), where Forecasted
(gross) = Actual PPE (gross) + Forecasted CAPEX. (We typically do not forecast disposis of PPE unless they are specifically identified by management in the MD&A section of the
K or other source.) P&G reported CAPEX as a percent of sales for FY2010 of 3.9% and for
2011 of4 .0%. In its meetings with analysts , P&G provided guidance for CAPEX as a percentof sales of 4% to 5% of sales, and Morgan Stanley forecasts CAPEX at 4.4% of sales in their
ast. Based on our forecasted sales of $86,357 million , CAPEX is projected to be $3,800
' lion (computed as $86,357 million x 4.4%).
The forecast of net PPE is computed as: Beginning-year PPE, net + Forecasted CAPEX asted Depreciation. Morgan Stanley analysts combine amortization with depreciation; thus ,

rcenta e of re orted depreciation and amortization expense (often reported in the statement

14.7% of the beginning-year balance for FY201 I ($2,838 million/$ 19,244 million) . However,
organ Stanley analysts forecast a slight decrease in that percentage to 14.3% for FY2012 and we
that rate in our forecast. Using the FY2011 net PPE of $21 ,293, our forecast of depreciation and
ortization for FY2012 is $3,045 million ($21,293 million X 14.3%) and our forecast of FY2012
t PPE is $22,048 million as computed here:

e applied all amortization expense to net PPE as PPE assets are sometimes amortized as well
depreciated. Often amortization expense relates to intangible assets (see next section). In that
se, we apportion depreciation and amortization between depreciable and intangible assets if we
ave sufficient information.
recasting Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Amortization Goodwill and other
tangible assets arise mainly in connection with acquisitions of other companies. Unless an acquision is pending at year-end, and we have sufficient information about its financial impact, we forecast
no change for goodwill and other intangibles. Goodwill is not amortized, but some other intangible
assets are (see Module 9). If we can identify the intangible assets that are amortized and can estimate
their amortization expense, we can forecast that expense and reduce the intangible assets accordingly
like we did for depreciable assets above . We forecast no change in these intangible assets in this case.
Forecasting Other Noncurrent Assets Other noncurrent assets are assumed to be part of
operating assets unless information suggests otherwise. Since we have no information to suggest
otherwise , we forecast no change in other noncurrent assets.

Forecasting Nonoperating Assets


This section forecasts nonoperating assets for P&G . Generally, we use the no-change forecast
model for nonoperating assets .
Forecasting Cash Our forecasting process assumes that the cash on the balance sheet reflects
an economically appropriate balance that we forecast similarly for the next fiscal year. Procter &
Gamble's 2011 fiscal year-end cash balance is $2,768 million (3.4% of sales), down from $2,879
million (3 .6% of sales) in the prior year. We assume 3.4% of sales in our forecast , resulting in a
forecasted cash balance of $2,936 million ($86,357 million X 3.4%) for FY2012.
Forecasting Investment Securities The no-change forecast model applies to marketable securities. For P&G, it does not report marketable securities. We adjust the level of marketable securities (cash in this case) or short-term debt in Step 4 when we balance the balance sheet.

Does Separately Forecasting

Our forecasting process, and that of the Morgan Stanley analysts, is to forecast a cash bal
and adjust the level of investment securities or short-term debt to balance the balance sheet~
assume that cash consists of cash equivalents and then forecast interest income on the cash bal,.
ance at the same rate as that for investment securities. Both cash and marketable securities
treated as nonoperating assets. This means it makes no difference whether we assume a la:
balance for cash and a correspondingly smaller balance for investment securities or whether er
assume a smaller balance for cash and a larger balance for investment securities. However, we:
in recent years that cash balances have ballooned as companies face economic uncertainty. Still
we are indifferent as to whether that excess liquidity is reported as cash or as investment securiti~
as they are both nonoperating assets. We see in Modules 13 and 14 that changes in both cash and
securities increase or decrease the value of a company dollar-for-dollar. Our focus is on net operating assets (NOA), which impact company value to a much greater extent. Bottom line: do not focus
on the mix between cash and securities.

sheet with taxes payable as a line item, we suggest forecasting that account using the historipercentage of taxes payable to tax expense .
asting Deferred Income Tax Liabilities Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
erally relate to the level of business activity. Accordingly, we can make a case to forecast these
unts as a percentage of sales. Indeed, Morgan Stanley follows this practice. That is , foreted deferred tax liabilities are 12 .8% of sales , down slightly from 13 .4% of sales in FY2011 .
asting Other Noncurrent Liabilities Other noncurrent liabilities for P&G primarily
ate to pension and other post-retirement benefits. We reasonably assume that these obligations
w with the size of the business . Following thi s notion , Morgan Stanley forecasts these liabilias a percentage of sales. For P&G , these liabilities decreased as a percentage of sales , from
.9% in FY2010 to 12.l % in FY2011. We, like Morgan Stanley, forecast a continuation of this
line to a level of ll .0% of sales for FY2012 .

recasting Nonoperating Liabilities and Equity


is section forecasts nonoperating liabilities and equity for P&G .

Summary of Asset Forecasts To this point, we have forecasted all of P&G 's operating and
nonoperating assets . Following the forecast of liabilities and equity in the next section , we adjust
the balance of investment securities or short-term debt to balance the balance sheet. This is Step 4.

Forecasting Operating Liabilities


This section describes the process of forecasting operating liabilities for P&G.
Forecasting Accounts Payable Morgan Stanley forecasts accounts payable as a percentage
of COGS. The rationale is that inventories , which drive most accounts payable, are reported
at wholesale cost and not retail. Another common method is to forecast accounts payable as a
percentage of sales . Either method results in reasonable forecasts if consistently applied. For
P&G , accounts payable as a percent of COGS increased from 19. I% in 2010 to 19 .7% in 20 11.
P&G explains this increase as follows:

Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities increased primarily due to increased expenditures
to support business growth, primarily related to the increased marketing investments.

Morgan Stanley forecasts a reduction of accounts payable as a percentage of COGS from 19.7%
in FY2011 to 19 .1% in FY2012. This corresponds to the reduction in inventory quantities previously discussed. As reported in Exhibit 11.7, Morgan Stanley's forecasts imply a decrease in
accounts payable days outstanding from 71.8 (-19.7 % X 365) to 69 .6 days (-19 .1 % X 365).
Consistent with our approach of forecasting balance sheet items in relation to forecasted sales,
we forecast accounts payable at an equivalent rate of 9.2% of sales (using Morgan Stanley 's estimate of accounts payable of $8,059 .6 million divided by analysts ' estimates of annual sales of
$87 ,754.5 million-see the analysts' report in the appendix), resulting in an estimate for FY2012
accounts payable of $7,945 million ($86,357 million X 9.2%).
Forecasting Accrued and Other Liabilities Accruals as a percent of sales increased from
10.8% in 2010 to 11.3% in 2011. Footnotes reveal that P&G 's accruals relate primarily to marketing and compensation expenses , although a large component is classified as "other." Morgan
Stanley forecasts this account to remain fairly constant as a percentage of sales, decreasing
slightly from 11.3% of sales to 11. I% of sales; similarly, we use l l.l % in our forecast.
Forecasting Taxes Payable Because taxes payable relate directly to tax expense , we prefer
to express taxes payable as a percentage of tax expense for forecasting purposes . P&G does not
separately identify income taxes payable on its balance sheet. Hence, this account is not included
in our forecasts directly, but is forecasted as part of another account. When we encounter a bal-

f the $9,981 million total debt due within one year, $2 ,994 million represents contractual
aturities of long-term debt and the $6 ,987 remainder represents other short-term borrowings.
e assume that all contractual maturities of long-term debt will be repaid. Thus , we forecast
e $2,994 million to be repaid. For the remaining short-term debt we assume no-change (Step
revisits this) . Commercial paper represents short-term unsecured borrowings that are typically
financed by newly issued commercial paper and are not repaid at maturity. Thus, we forecast
$6,987 as short-term debt before any current portion of long-term debt. As we show below, the
FY2012 current maturities of long-term debt are $3,839 million and, thus, we forecast total debt
due within one year as $10 ,826 million ($6,987 million + $3,839 million).
Forecasting Long-Term Debt P&G's balance sheet reports long-term debt of $22,033. We use
the no-change method to forecast long-term debt (and potentially modify this with optional Step
4). Companies are required to disclose the maturities of long-term debt for each of the five years
subsequent to the statement date. Following is the disclosure by P&G in its long-term debt footnote:
Long-term debt maturities during the next five years are as follows:

In our forecast for 2012, we classify the amount due in 2013, $3,839, as current maturities of longterm debt, and the remaining balance of $18,194 is forecasted as long-term debt. The $3 ,839 current
maturities of long-term debt are, then, added to short-term debt as we discuss in the preceding section.
Forecasting Equity Accounts Prior to Step 4, we forecast FY2012 equity items with no
change, with two exceptions . The first exception is retained earnings, which are increased by
forecasted net income and are reduced by forecasted dividends. There are two approaches to
forecasting dividends and either is acceptable:

11-26

11-27

Module 11 I Forecasting Financial Statements

Module 11 I Forecasting Financial Statements

1. Forecast dollar amount of dividends per share and multiply by .the forecasted number

shares outstanding (and not the average number of shares outstan dmg as reported in the E
calculations), or
2. Forecast a dividend payout ratio (dividends I net income) and multiply this dividend pay
ratio by forecasted net income.
oUt

Morgan Stanley utilizes the first approach and ~or~casts divide~d~ per share of $2.15 for the
year, a 9 .1 % increase over the $ I .97 p~r ~hare paid m FY2011 ( dJV1dends per share for FY20U
increased by 9 .4% over FY2010; so, this increase of 9 .1 % seems reasonable).
Morgan Stanley forecasts the number of shares outstanding after considering the effects Of
anticipated share issuances under employee stock option plans and share repurchases in treasury
stock, resu lting in estimated shares outstanding for FY2012 of 2,944.6 million .2 Multiplying for
forecasted dividends per share of $2 .15 by the estimated number of shares outstanding of 2,944.6
million yields a forecasted dollar amount of dividends paid of $6,330.9 million . This is in line with
guidance given by P&G of approximately $6 billion in dividends from its meeting with analysts.
Our initial forecast for ending FY2012 retained earnings is $76,509 million, computed as
follows:
$70,682 million beginning retained earnings

+ 12,158 million forecasted net income


-

6,331 million forecasted dividends


$76,509 million ending retained earnings

This forecast wil l likely change in Step 4 once we forecast the income (expense) related to new
investments (borrowing), thus affecting our estimate of net income .
The second exception includes share repurchases (treasury stock) that are announced or
planned by a company. In its Barclays capital conference, P&G provided the following slide that
indicates its intentions to repurchase about $6 billion for treasury stock in the 2012 fiscal year:

This slide reflects continuation of P&G's share repurchase program that has resulted in the repurchase of $ 19.4 billion of treasury stock over the prior three years. Consistent with PG guidance,
we forecast the purchase of treasury stock amounting to $6,000 million in 2012.

STEP 4: ADJUST FORECASTED STATEMENTS7


Our (initial) forecasted balance sheet yields total assets of $139,419 million and total liabilit_ies
and equity of $ 134,932 million . Because total assets exceed the total of liabilities and equity,
additional financing is required and we assume an increase of $4,487 million of short-term debt
to balance. Another option would have been to reduce short-term investments, but P&G did not
report short-term investments on its FY20 I 1 balance sheet.) (Note some circularity here in that
adjusting debt results in changes in interest expense that results in additional debt, and s? ?n.
Morgan Stanley allows for one adjustment as we describe above, which is the $4,487 m1Ihon
Computati on of shares outstanding requires estimates of anticipated share issuances and repurchases . We do not know
the specific inputs that Morgan Stanley used in their com putation , but can speculate that the share issuances relate to the
exercise of employee stock options (footnotes usually disclose the number of shares issued for the current and prior two
years) . Share repurchases might be estimated by guidance provided by the company for the dollar amount of anttc1pated
share repurchases divided by an estimate of the anticipated share price for the comin g year. Thus, expected dollar amount
of di vidends is then: Estimate of ending basic shares outstanding (Begi nnin g shares outstanding + Share issuances Share repurchases) X Expected dividends per share (often disclosed by a company in guidance to analysts).

dditional debt in our example and the related interest expense. Given the estimates involved
orecasting, additional precision of further iterations is unnecessary.) Had total liabilities and
'ty been greater than total assets, we could have reduced short-term debt or increased shortinvestments to balance. 3

just Forecasted Income Statement: Nonoperating Expenses


en our estimates of debt as a result of the "balancing" adjustment in Step 4, we can now finish
forecasts for the income statement (which we presented in Exhibit 11.4). Specifically, we can
w forecast nonoperating expense (and revenue), compute pretax income, forecast tax expense,
compute net incvme. This Rection describes the process for forecasting those remaining items
the income statement.
casting Interest Expense and "Other" P&G 's FY2010 interest expense of $831 million
plies a 2.7% rate of interest based on average outstanding interest-bearing debt for that year of
,923 million ([$29,832 million + $32,014 million]/2). This average interest rate was slightly
s than the 2.8% rate reported for FY2010. Morgan Stanley analysts forecast a slight decline
FY2012 to 2 .6% in their report (see Exhibit 11.7), and we also use 2.6% to forecast interest
pense for FY2012.
Of the long-term debt outstanding as of the end of FY2011, footnotes reveal that $2,994 miln is scheduled to mature during FY2012. Given our forecasted $4,487 million increase in shortdebt , then our forecast for interest expense must be adjusted accordingly (we would si milarly
crease interest income if we had projected an increase in short-term investments) . This anticited repayment of $2,994 million and borrowing of $4,487 million , assuming borrowing and
payment ratably over the year, results in a forecasted interest expense of $852 million ([$32,014
'Ilion + {-$2,994 million + $4,487 million}/2] X 2.6%). (Our amount is slightly higher than
e Morgan Stanley estimate of $830 million , which they obtain from a detailed analysis of the
bt payments and borrowings, vis-a-vis the simple average we assumed.)
Other nonoperating income for FY2011 of $202 million includes interest income on short-term
vestments (primarily cash balances invested in overnight investments) and net gains on divesties . Since we are not forecasting any acquisitions or divestitures, nonoperating income is lower for
FY2012. Morgan Stanley forecasts an investmentrateof l .5%onavailablecash balances(assumed to be
approximately $2,900 million) , which results in $44 million; alternatively, one can use an average
of the beginning and endi ng balances ([$2,768 million+ $2,936 million]/2 X l.5 %), which we
demonstrate when computing the two-year-ahead forecasts in Exhibit 11.10.
Forecasting Income Taxes Given our forecast of interest expense, we obtain a forecasted pretax
income of $ 16,032 million . Our general method to forecast income taxes is to predict little change,
if any, in a company's effective tax rate, assuming it is within reasonable limits and absent the company disclosing substantial transitory tax items in the reconciliation of the effective tax rate footnote
or an anticipated rate change. Morgan Stanley forecasts a 25.0% effective tax rate for 2012-14,
within the range of25.7% and 23.5% that P&G reported for FY2010 and FY2011, respectively, and
we use a 25% forecasted tax rate as well. Consequently, our forecast of tax expense is $4,008 million
(computed as $16,032 million of pretax income X 25% forecasted tax rate).
Net Income The resu lting forecasted net income is $12,024 million for FY2012, or $4.08 per
diluted share. This forecast is slightly below P&G 's EPS guidance for FY2012 of $4 .17-$4.33 per
shart<, but greater than the $3 .93 per diluted share reported in the P&G 10-K for FY2011.

Adjust Forecasted Balance Sheet


The forecasted balance sheet and the revised forecasted income statement for Procter & Gamble
is in Exhibits I l .8A and I I .8B. We show the FY201 l balance for each account and the computations required to obtain the forecasted FY2012 balance, including the updated retained earnings
computation reflecting the net income computed.

3
When adjusting the balance sheet to balance, we must take care to not inadvertently alter a company 's financial leverage . Recall that companies seek to maintain optimal levels of debt and equity to achi eve a desired credit rating for their
debt , among other objectives. Thus , we must maintain the past debt-to-equity relation within reasonable limits when
balancing the forecasted balance sheet. For example, if our decis ion is to retire debt or to repurchase common stock, we
should do it so that the hi storical debt-to-equity relation is rough ly maintained.

Revised Forecasted Income Statement for P&G

cess of Forecasting the Statement of Cash Flows


illustrate the forecasti ng of the statement of cash flows we again turn to Procter & Gamble .
ven its forecasted balance sheet in Exhibit l l .8A and its forecasted income statement in Exhibit
.SB, we prepare its forecasted statement of cash flows using the procedures for preparing the
tement of cash flow s expl2ined in Module 2 . Our forecasted statement of cash flows is in

Forecasting Operating Activities We begin with the operating section and the forecasted net
earnings of $12,024 million, which we compute above. We, then, adjust net earni ngs for operating
expenses and revenues that do not impact cash , and for changes in current assets and liabilities. For
the first category we have depreciation and amortization , which are in SG&A expense and are added
back in the statement of cash flows because they do not use cash . (Computations for these expenses
are explained in our discussion of forecasting capital expenditures and PPE, and forecasting goodwill and other intangibles .) (Appendi x 11 A shows that Morgan Stanley also forecasts $422.3 million
of compensation expense related to stock-based compensation as an add-back to net income, as it
is a noncash expense; we are not privy to data that analysts had in making this estimate and do not
include it in our forecasts.)
For the second category we have four current assets and four current liabilities whose
cash-fl ow effects we must consider. For example, the forecasted increase in accounts receivable
reduces the available cash. We app ly this logic to each of the other current assets and li abi lities .
Thus, net cash flow from operating activities is forecasted at$ 14,672 million for 2012.
Forecasting Investing Activities The forecasted investing section reports cash expenditures for
short- and long-term investments as well as the purchase and sale of long-term operating assets. The
only item for P&G is the forecasted $3,800 million outflow for capital expenditures (CAPEX). We

Module 11 I Forecasting Financial Statements

discuss the computation of this amount in the section on forecasting capital expenditures and p
above. The remaining long-term assets are intangible and other nonoperating assets and we ass
no changes in those assets except for amortization of intangibles. Had we forecasted other chan
in those assets , we would include the cash flow effects in the investing section.

i:

'on ($10,826 million for FY2012 - $3,839 in prior-year current maturities+ $2,229 in FY2013
nt maturities).
Jn the stockholders ' equity section, we forecast a continuation of P&G's stated objective to
hase $6,000 million of treasury stock . Retained earnings is updated for forecasted net income
decreased by forecasted dividends. For the latter, we highlight the alternative method in this
pie, that is, to forecast dividends as a percent of forecasted net income . For P&G, our diviforecast for FY2012 is $6,333 or 52.7% of forecasted net income. Applying this percentage to
asted net income for FY2013, yields dividends of $6,633 million ($12,587 million X 52.7%).

After preparing the forecasted financial statements , it is useful to reassess whether they are reasonable in light of current economic and company conditions . This task is subjecti ve and benefits
from the forecaster's knowledge of company, industry, and economic factors . Many analysts
and managers prepare "what-if' forecasted financial statements . Specifically, they change key
assumptions, such as the forecasted sales growth or key cost ratios and then recompute the forecasted financial statements . These alternative forecasting scenarios indicate the sensitivity of a set
of predicted outcomes to different assumptions about future economic conditions. Such sensitivity esti mates can be useful for setting contingency plans and in identifying areas of vulnerability
for company performance and condition.

ust Forecasted Statements Our initial balance sheet yields estimated total assets of
41,264 million and total liabilities and equity of $132,664 million , indicating a financing need
$8,600 million . This represents an increase of $3 ,979 mm ion over the $4,621 million we foreted for FY2012.
Our estimate of interest expense begins with our FY2012 forecast for total interest-bearing debt
$33 ,641 million ($4,621 million+ $10,826 million+ $18,194 million). This debt will decrease
scheduled payments of $3,839 million and increase by new borrowings of $3 ,979 million .
suming that these payments and borrowings (netting to an increase of $140 million) occur ratably
er the year and that the borrowing rate continues at 2.6%, our estimate for interest expense is $876
'lion ([$33 ,641 million + ($140 million/2)] X 2.6%). And, given our estimated cash balance of
,071 million and a I .5% investment rate, our estimate of interest income is $45 million ([$2,936
'Ilion+ $3,071 million]/2 X 1.5%).
Our forecasted income statement and balance sheet is presented in Exhibit 11.l 0 (FY2012
recasts are shown in the first column) . Given our forecasted nonoperating revenue (expense) ,
project pretax income at $16,783 million . Assuming a continuation of the 25 % effective tax
te , we forecast tax expense of $4,196 million ($16,783 X 25 %) and net income of $12,587
'Ilion. Exhibit 11.10 also reports the two-year-ahead forecasted statement of cash flows which
prepared using the forecasted FY2013 and FY2012 balance sheets and our forecasted FY2013
come statement. The Morgan Stanley forecast spreadsheet which we reproduce in our Appendix
IA provides forecasts through FY2014 using similar methodology.

Forecasting Financing Activities The forecasted financing section includes forecas


items that impact long-term nonoperating liabilities and equity. We forecast a reduction of lo 1e4
term debt in the amount of $2,994 million relating to its contractual maturities. Those maturi~gr
are reported as part of debt due within one year on the 2011 balance sheet and we assume
all contractual obligations are paid as agreed .
This concludes our initial forecasts of the financial statements for Procter & Gamble
Appendix 11 A reproduces an actual analyst forecast of P&G 's financial statements from Mor~
gan Stanley, which applies the percent of revenues approach that we describe. (Module
13
estimates the val ue of P&G's stock using our forecasts and compares our estimate to one that
Oppenheimer develops from its forecasts and valuation model.)

ADDITIONAL FORECASTING ISSUES


Reassessing Financial Statement Forecasts

Multiyear Forecasting of Financial Statements


L05 Prepare
multiyear forecasts of
financial statements.

Many business decisions require forecasted financial statements for more than one year ahead.
For example , managerial and capital budgeting, security val uation , and strategic analyses all
benefit from reliable multi year forecasts. Modules 13 and 14 use multi year forecasts of fi nancial
results to estimate stock price for investment decisions .
Forecasting the Income Statement We forecast two years ahead using the assumptions for
our one-year-ahead forecasts and adjust those assumptions as necessary. To illustrate , we forecast
P&G 's 2013 sales as $90,329 million , computed as our forecasted FY2012 sales of $86,357 million
X 1.046, the growth rate we used for FY2012. Operating expenses are forecasted from this sales
level using the methodology we describe earlier for one-year-ahead forecasts . As before, we compute nonoperating income (expense) after we estimate nonoperating liabilities and, given our estimates of nonoperating revenue (expense), we compute pretax income, tax expense and net income.
Forecasting the Balance Sheet Assuming a continuation of the percent-of-revenues relation for current assets and li abilities, we can forecast current assets and current liabilities applying the same methodology used for one-year-ahead forecasts. For example, FY2013 accounts
receivable are forecasted as $6,955 million , computed as $90,329 million X 7 .7% (the same
percentage we used to forecast FY2012 receivables). Similarly, we forecast CAPEX at $3,974
million ($90 ,329 x 4.4%) and depreciation expense at $3,153 million ($22,048 in FY2012
PPE, net X 14.3% depreciation rate used previously). Forecasted net PPE is , then, equal to
$22,869 million (computed as $22 ,048 million + $3,974 million - $3,153 million) .
Operating liabilities are estimated using the same percent of estimated sales that we use in
FY2012. The long-term debt footnote (presented above) reveals that contractual maturities of
long-term debt for FY2013 are $2,229 million, and we forecast long-term debt at $15 ,965 million
($18,194 million - current maturities of $2,229 million). As before, we assume that contractual
maturities of long-term debt that were scheduled for FY2012 have been paid. Consequently, we
forecast debt due within one year (which includes current maturities of long-term debt) at $9,216

Module 11 I Forecasting Financial Statements

arsimonious Method for Forecasting

Required

ur parsimonious approach to forecast NOPAT and NOA req uires three crucial inputs:

Forecast the Colgate-Palmolive balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows
for 2011 using the following additional information; assume no change for all other accounts not
listed below. All percentages, other than sales growth, are based on percent of revenues; assume
all capital expenditures are purchases of PPE, and that depreciation and amortization are included
as part of selling, general and administrative expenses.

Net operating profit margin (NOPM); defined in Modul e 3 as NOPAT divided by sales
3. Net operating asset turnover (NOAT); defined in Module 3 as sales divided by average NOA.
For forecasting purposes, we define NOAT as sales divided by year-end NOA instead of average NOA because we want to forecast year-end values.

Multiyear Forecasting with Parsimonious Method


e remainder of thi s module describes and illustrates this parsimonious approach . To illustrate ,
we use Procter & Gamble 's 2011 income statement, from Exhibit 11.3 , and its 2011 balance
beet, from Exhibit 11.6, to determine the following measures. We assume that P&G 's statutory
sax rate is 37% on nonoperating revenues and expenses.

*We use ending balance sheet amounts rather than average amounts because we forecast ending balance sheet amounts.

Using these inputs, we forecast P&G 's sales , NOPAT, and NOA. Each year's forecasted sales is
the p:ior-ye~ sales m~ltipl ied successively by ( 1+ Growth rate) and then rounded to whole digits.
Consistent with our pnor revenue growth rate assumptions for P&G , we define " 1 + Growth rate"
8:5 1.046 for 2012 and onward. NOPAT is computed using forecasted (and rounded) sales each year
times the 2011 NOPM of 14.8%; and NOA is computed usingforecasted (and rounded) sales divided
~y the 2011 ~OATof.0.85 . Forecasted numbers for2012 through 2015 are in Exhibit 11.11 ; supportmg computations are m parentheses.
This forecasting process can be continued for any desired forecast horizon . Also, the forecast
assumptions such as sales growth , NOPM , and NOAT can be varied by year, if des ired . This alternative, parsimonious method is much si mpler than the primary method illustrated in this module.
However, its simplicity does forgo information that can impact forecast accuracy.

PARSIMONIOUS MULTIYEAR FORECASTING


L06 Implement
a parsimonious
method for multiyear
forecasting of net
operating profit and
net operating assets.

The forecasting process described above uses a considerable amount of available information
to derive accurate forecasts. We can, however, simp lify the process by using less information.
Stock valuation models commonly use more parsimonious methods to compute mu ltiyear fo recasts for an initial screening of prospective securities. For example, in Modules 13 and 14 we
introduce two stock valuation models that use parsimonious forecasting methods. One model
utilizes forecasted free cash flows and the other uses forecasted net operating profits after tax
(NOPAT) and net operating assets (NOA ); see Module 3 for description s of these variables.
Because free cash flow s are equal to net operating profits after tax (NO PAT) less the change in
net operating assets (NOA), we can accommodate both stock valuation models with forecasts
of NOPAT and NOA .

Procter & Gamble Co.


Raising 2012e EPS Despite
Low Quality 04
What's New : PG reported low-quality 04 EPS , but the
stock ended up outperforming the S&P 500 as we
believe investors are appropriately looking ahead to an
improved pricing/commodity cost scenario in 2012,
particularly with stronger than expected 3% 04 pricing
ex-mix (MS was at +1.3%). In addition , FY12 guidance
was in-line with consensus. Net, we were not enthused
by 04 results given the low quality nature of 04, and a
weak developed market consumer, as well as continued
commodity pressure drove below consensus 01
guidance, but we think the worst is now behind PG with
improving pricing and declining spot commod ity costs,
and believe undemanding valuation of 13.2 times FY13e
EPS is compelling, particularly with the market adopting
a more defensive orientation .
In-line but low quality 04: 04 EPS of $0.84 was above
our $0.81 estimate and the $0.82 consensus, but was
boosted 2 cents by a lower than expected tax rate and 3
cents by higher than expected other non-operating
income. PG 's 5% organic sales growth result (+4%
excluding pre-buying ahead of price increases) was
solid , but higher than expected SG&A drove a 3%
operating profit miss vs. our forecast and 4% miss vs.
consensus. Segment profit results were also weak , up
only 4. 7% y-o-y despite an easy -11 .1% comparison,
while pretax profit was aided by a 60% y-o-y corporate
expense decline

Morgan Stanley Research estimates

FY12 guidance OK: PG guided to $4.17-4.33 (current


consensus at $4.26) in FY12 EPS , up 6-10% y-o-y
(+8-1 2% excluding a higher tax rate), on +3-6% organic
revenue growth. However, 01 guidance of $1 .00-1.04
was below the $1 .14 consensus.
Raising FY12e EPS: We are raising our FY12e EPS
slightly to $4.20 from $4.16 solely on a lower than
expected tax rate. On an operating basis, 04 downside
is offset by a more favorable pricing/cost outlook for
FY12. We are also lowering our price target slightly to
$69 (1 5x 2013e EPS of $4.59) from $72 to reflect a
lower market multiple.

Macros Could Disappoint: PG is


sensitive to macro conditions given its
skew to premium products, as each
100 basis point volume change drives
an estimated 2% EPS impact.

Operating profit miss driven by higher than expected


SG&A: Gross margin of 48.3% was down 120 bps YoY, and
was - 60bps below consensus (in-line with our forecast) .
However, higher than expected SG&A expense as a % of
sales resulted in a 4% operating profit miss versus consensus
(3% vs. our forecast) , which was more than offset by other
non-operating income and a lower than expected tax rate,
which in aggregate added 5 cents to EPS, driving more than
all of the EPS upside. PG did disclose full-year ad spending
was 40 bps higher than our forecast (PG does not disclose ad
spend on a quarterly basis) , which does mean FY EPS is
higher quality. Please refer to Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 for more
detail on the quarter's variance versus our forecast.

Pricing: We expect improved HPC


industry pricing going forward, but if
competition remains heightened, we
estimate that each 100 bps of pricing
pressure has a 5% EPS impact.

Where We Could be Wrong

Solld organic revenue growth: 04 organic revenue growth


of 5% was PG 's best result in six quarters, but would have
been 4% excluding 1% benefit from retailer load in ahead of
price increases. This is in-line sequentially with 03 trends, but
still a solid result given a difficult industry environment.
Organic growth was driven by +3% volumes, +3% pricing,
partially offset by -1 % mix.

Bear

Margin Expansion Potential: We


believe PG 's focus on cost-cutting
and productivity is increasing, which
should provide margin flexibility to
reinvest behind the business. We
forecast - 50 bps of annual margin
expansion in F2012-15.

Exhibit 2

Low quality Q4 EPS Is not a surprise In a difficult


environment: PG F4011 EPS of $0.84 was above our $0.81
estimate and the $0.82 consensus, but was aided by
non-operating items, including a lower than expected tax rate
(worth 2 cents to EPS), and higher than expected other
income (worth 3 cents) , while underlying operating profit
missed consensus by 4% (MS est. by 3%).

significantly to +4 cents in FY12 vs. -40 cents in FY1 1 (we


assume 3% pricing in FY12 and commodity cost pressure
in-line with what was experienced in 2011).

Price

We expect PG 's pricing/commodity cost gap to ease


meaningfully In FY12: PG expects commodity cost inflation
in FY12 to be similar to FY11 levels, which implies a $1 .88
pretax headwind. PG expects to offset much of the dollar
headwind through pricing. bu1 still expects a net gross margin
impact which we estimate implies a 100-120 bps neaative
gross margin impact.

Volume Commodities e Net Impact

Source: Company data, Morgan Stanley Research

We are raising our FY12e EPS to $4.20 from $4.16 solely on a


lower tax rate. with our 01 estimate of $1 .04 at the high end of
PG 's guidance.

As shown In Exhibit 4, after assuming a 67-bp volume impact


from each point of pricing , we estimate the net negative EPS
impact from commodity costs versus pricing will abate

Macro recovery stalls. Given Procter & Gamble's skew to


premium products, the company's organic sales growth
prospects will be significantly influenced by consumer
spending going forward. PG's volume is sensitive to macro
conditions as evidenced by its 2% volume decline in FY09.
We estimate that a 100-bp change in volume is worth 2% to
our FY1 2 EPS estimate.
Pricing environment does not Improve as much as we
expect. We expect improved HPC industry pricing going
forward with selective list price increases in certain categories
and less promotional spending. If the industry environment
was more competitive than we expect, we estimate that each
100 bps of pricing pressure would be worth 5% to FY12 EPS.
Strong balance sheet could drive or hurt shareholder
value. Procter & Gamble has a strong balance sheet with a
net debt/E81TDA of 1.5 times at the end of F2Q11 . The
company has sufficient flexibility to increase its share
buybacks above the $6-7 billion it did in FY1 1. In addition, PG
may elect to pursue acquisitions which could boost or detract
from shareholder value. If PG levers its balance sheet up to
2.0 times net debt/E81TDA by the end of FY12 to repurchase
shares, we estimate EPS would increase by 2%.
Cost-cutting. PG 's core SG&A as a percentage of sales
(excluding shipping and handling, ad spending, R&D expense,
and stock option expense) of 18% in FY1 O was the highest in
its large cap peer group despite PG 's leading scale. As such,
we believe PG has ample opportunity to pare back its SG&A
spending, and also generate COGS cost savings/productivity.
We also believe PG is more focused on cost cutting through
simplifying the organization and streamlining bu reaucracy, in
order to better capitalize on its scale. Each 50 basis points
change in core SG&A as a % of sales (about $400 million)
versus our forecast would be worth an estimated 2% to FY12
EPS.
Market share vacillates. There may be upside to PG 's FY12
EPS if market share gains accelerate with PG ramping up
investment behind the business and a strong innovation

pipeline. On the other hand, market share could stall with


higher pricing. We estimate each 100 basis points of
incremental volume would be worth 2% to FY12 EPS.
Currency movements. 62% of PG 's FY10 sales were
derived from outside the US. As such, fluctuation in
currencies could materially impact our EPS estimates. We
estimate that a 5% change in the USO versus PG 's basket of
currencies would have a 3% impact on EPS. PG is more
insulated from FX risk than its peers given relatively less
international exposure. In addition, PG 's significant
manufacturing footprint outside the US mitigates the potential
transaction impact of FX.
Commodity cost volatlllty. While PG 's diversified product
portfolio spreads out its raw material exposure across a wide
variety of inpu1 costs, volatile commodity costs could
significantly impact EPS. In past years, PG experienced
significant margin pressure from commodities with input costs
increasing $2 billion and $1 billion y-o-y in FY08 and FY09,
respectively. In FY11 , PG again experienced $1.88 in pretax
commodity cost inflation, which is in-line with PG 's forecast for
FY12 as well. We estimate that each 200 bps change in
overall commodity costs would impact EPS by 3%.

Morgan Stanley ModelWare Is a proprietary analytic framework t hat helps clients


uncover value, adjusting for distortio ns and ambiguities created by local accounting
regulati ons. For example, Model Ware EPS adjusts for one-time events, capitalizes operating
leases (where their use is significant) , and converts inventory from LIFO costing to a FIFO
basis. ModelWare also emphasizes the separation of operating performance of a compan y
from its financing for a more complete view of how a company generates earnings.

Forecasts of the income statement typically require estimates of cost of goods sold (gross profit) and
operating and nonoperating expenses (revenues) as a percentage of revenues . Identify at least three
financial statement adj ustments that we discuss in previous modules that might affect our forecasts for
gross profit margin and operating expense percentages.
Forecasts of ~he balance sheet commonly require estimates of the relative percentage of balance sheet
accounts to revenues. Identify at least three financial statement adjustments to reported balance sheet
items that can impact that item 's relation to revenues. These can include adjustments to recognize assets
and/or liabilities that are not recognized under GAAP.

(KFT)
Pizza Divestiture On March 1 , 2010, we completed the sale of the assets of our North American
frozen pizza business ("Frozen Pizza") to Nestle USA, Inc. (" Nestle") for $3.7 billion. Our Frozen Pizza
business was a component of our U.S. Convenient Meals and Canada & North America Foodservice
segments. The sale included the DiGiorno , Tombstone and Jack's brands in the U.S., the Delissio
brand in Canada and the California Pizza Kitchen trademark license. It also included two Wisconsin
manufacturing facilities (Medford and Little Chute) and the leases for the pizza depots and delivery
trucks. Approximately 3,600 of our employees transferred with the business to Nestle. Accordingly,
the results of our Frozen Pizza business have been reflected as discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of earnings, and prior period results have been revised in a consistent manner.

What adjustment(s) might we consider befor e w e forecast Kraft 's income for 2011 ? H o w would w e treat
the cash proceeds that Kraft realized on such a sale?

For 2005, operating expenses of $8.67 billion increased slightly over $8.64 billion in 2004. For 2004,
operating expenses of $8.64 billion increased 6% over $8.17 billion in 2003. The maior components
and changes in operating expenses were as follows :

Programming expenses represented approximately 40% of total operating expenses in _2?05 and
2004 and 38% in 2003, and reflect the amortization of acquired rights of programs exh1b1ted on
the broadcast and cable networks, and television and radio stations. Programming expenses
increased slightly to $3.45 billion in 2005 from $3.44 billion in 2004 principally reflecting higher
costs for Showtime Networks theatrical titles. Programming expenses increased 12% to $3.44
billion in 2004 from $3.08 billion in 2003 reflecting higher program rights expenses for sports
events and primetime series at the broadcast networks.
Production expenses represented approximately 28% of total operating expenses in 2005, 3 0 ~
in 2004, and 33% in 2003, and reflect the cost and amortization of internally developed telev1s1on
programs, including direct production costs, residuals and participation expenses, and production
overhead, as well as television and radio costs including on-air talent and
.
other production costs. Production expenses decreased 5% to $2.45 billion in 2005 from $2.58 billion in 2004 principally reflecting lower network costs due to the absence of Frasier partially offset
by increased costs for new network series. Production expenses decreas.ed 3% to $2 .58 billion in
2004 from $2.66 billion in 2003 reflecting fewer network series produced 1n 2004 partially offset by
higher news costs for political campaign coverage.
.
.
Outdoor operations costs represented approximately 13% of total operating expenses. 1n 2005
and 2004, and 12% in 2003, and reflect transit and billboard lease, maintenance, posting and
rotation expenses. Outdoor operations expenses increased 3% to $1 .13 billion in 2005 from
$1 .1O billion in 2004 principally reflecting higher billboard lease costs and maintenance costs
associated with the impact of hurricanes in 2005 . Outdoor operations costs increased 9% to
$1 .1O billion in 2004 from $1 .01 billion in 2003 primarily reflecting higher transit and billboard
lease costs.
Publishing operations costs, which represented approximately 6% of total operating expenses
in each of the years 2005, 2004 and 2003, reflect cost of book sales, royalties and other
costs incurred with respect to publishing operations. Publishing operations expenses for 2005 .
increased 1% to $525.0 million and increased 6% to $517.6 million in 2004 from $486.3 million in
2003 primarily due to higher revenues .
.
.
Parks operations costs, wh ich represented approximately 3% of total operating expenses. 1~ each
of the years 2005, 2004 and 2003, increased 5% to $243.8 million in 2005 from $232 .7 million in
2004 principally reflecting the cost of fourth quarter 2005 winter events held at the parks and the
impact of foreign currency translation. In 2004, Parks operations costs increased 10% to $232.7
million from $212 .2 million in 2003 primarily from the impact of foreign currency translation.
Other operating expenses, which represented approximately 10% of total operating expenses in
2005 and 9% in 2004 and 2003, primarily include distribution costs incurred with respect to tel evision product costs associated with digital media and compensation . Other operating expenses
increased 13% to $862.1 million in 2005 from $764.1 million in 2004 primarily reflecting a 10%
increase in distribution costs due to the DVD release of Charmed and increased costs associated
with digital media from the inclusion of Sportsline.com, Inc: ("Sportslin e.com") since ~ts ac.quisition in December 2004. Other operating expenses for 2004 increased 7 0Yo to $764.1 m1ll1on 1n
2004 from $712 .1 million in 2003 principally reflecting 15% higher distribution costs due to additional volume of DVD releases of the Star Trek series and higher compensation.

Impairment Charges SFAS 142 requires the Company to perform an annual fair value-based impairment test of goodwill. The Company performed its annual impairment test as of October 31 , 2005,
concurrently with its annual budgeting process which begins in the fourth quarter each year. The
first step of the test examines whether or not the book value of each of the Company's reporting
units exceeds its fair value. If the book value for a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second
step of the test is required to compare th e implied fair value of that reporting unit's goodwill with the
book value of the goodwill. The Company's reporting units are generally consistent with or one level
below the operating segments underlying the reportable segments. As a result of th e 2005 annual
impairment test , t he Onmpany recorded an impairment charge of $9.48 billion in the fourth quarter of
2005. The $9.48 billion reflects charges to reduce the carrying value of goodwill at the CBS Television
reporting unit of $6.44 billion and the Radio reporting unit of $3.05 billion . As a result of the annual
impairment test performed for 2004, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $18.0 billion in
the fourth quarter of 2004. The $18.0 billion reflects charges to reduce the carrying value of goodwill
at the Radio reporting unit of $10.94 billion and the Outdoor reporting unit of $7.06 billion as well as
the reduction of the carryi ng value of intangible assets of $27.8 million related to the FCC licenses
at the Radio segment. Several factors led to a reduction in forecasted cash flows and long-term
growth rates for both the Radio and Outdoor reporting units. Radio and Outdoor both fell short of
budgeted revenu e and operating income growth targets in 2004. Competition from other advertising
media, including Internet advertising and cable and broadcast television reduced Radio and Outdoor
growth rates. Also, the emergence of new competitors and technologies necessitated a shift in management's strategy for the Radio and Outdoor businesses, including changes in composition of the
sales fo rce and operating management as well as increased levels of investment in marketing and
promotion.

r forecasts yield liabilities in excess of assets of $373 miUion. In this example , we assume that marketabl e
urities are increased by that amount. We might have al so assumed re payment of debt and/or purchase
treasury stock , being careful to mai ntain the company's debt-to-eq uity ratio . One further adj ustment we
'ght make at this point would be to increase interest income assuming an investment return on the marketle securities.
