Free cash flow to Firm Model(FCFF)- Through Cash FLow method

AFM

answered on 16-Jul-24 20:08

The FCFF found via Cash flow method comprises of the following format in ICAI institute material. FCFF= Cash flow From operations + Interest (1-Tax) -/+ Capital Expenditure. But in our class we use Interest*Tax rate? Can you clarify sir?

latest answer

Excellent question Per IND AS Int expense is financing activity so when we compute CFO we add back full interest - refer page 265 of my ex employer coromandel AR 23 https://www.coromandel.biz/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Integrated-Annual-Report-FY-2022-23.pdf Also refer pg 704 & 705 pt 18 & 20 of IND AS 7 from link below https://www.mca.gov.in/Ministry/pdf/INDAS7.pdf Per USGAAP Int expense is operating activity Refer attached screenshot of FASB . You can visit FASB and look for standard on presentation of cashflows, para ref available in screenshot. Also giving below links of US GAPP vs IFRS diff https://rsmus.com/pdf/us_gaap_ifrs_cash_flows.pdf https://kpmg.com/us/en/articles/2022/ifrs-accounting-standards-us-gaap.html#:~:text=Under%20US%20GAAP%2C%20while%20restricted,the%20statement%20of%20cash%20flows. US GAAP - When Int is part of operating activities, it is not added back to Net Income in US GAAP when we compute CFO. So when we have to adjust for Int to arrive at FCFF, we directly add back Int x ( 1-t) IND AS - when int has already been fully added back to NI when computing CFO, we have to only deduct to the extent of tax from CFO in order to arrive at FCFF - so we multiply int expense with tax ICAI material - they have copied stuff directly from international material without applying their mind Abt diff between US gaap and INDAS . Sharing copy of CFA material which shows how to compute FCFF under US GAAP ( also refer links below) https://www.cfainstitute.org/en/membership/professional-development/refresher-readings/free-cash-flow-valuation#:~:text=FCFF%20and%20FCFE%20are%20related,%E2%80%93%20Tax%20rate)%20%E2%80%93%20FCInv. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/freecashflowfirm.asp Conclusion - i am right ICAI material is wrong

In this solution ICAI has used face value as issue price to calculate Kp,Kd.Instead of face value shouldn't we be taking market price as issue price when we are not given issue price specifically.
