Although the company receives back all of its investment in working capital, it loses the time value of money on this cash
Working Capital Needs: the bottom line
Classifying company cash flows The Operating Cycle a nd the Working CapitalThe Investment Cycle and the Free Cash FlowThe Financing Cycle
The Working Capital needs are necessary expenses, essential to run the business and to fund its daily operations
The Working Capital is not a potential need, but a “compulsory” investmentThe Working Capital is not a potential need, but a “compulsory” investment
The evolution of the Working Capital depends on :
The evolution of sales
The length of the operating cycle
The evolution of the Cash Conversion Cycle: credit terms from suppliers, average collection period, inventory turnover
Fahmi Ben Abdelkader © Financial Statement Analysis10/23/2013 11:38 AM 14
inventory turnover
Any reduction in Working Capital needs generates a positive free cash flow that increases the firm value

Free Cash Flow > 0 : cash flow generated by a firm’s activities covers its operating and investment needs (it may be used to pay dividend or to pay down debt)
Free Cash Flow < 0 : additional financial resources will have to be raised to cover the company’s capital requirements
The Free Cash Flow

A common and generally accepted definition:
FCF = Cash flow from operating activities + Cash Fr om Investing Activities
Alternative measures of FCF:
FCFF = EBIT * (1- t) + Noncash charges (D&A) – Increa se in Working capital - Capex + Interest*(1-t)
FCF = EBIT * (1- t) + Noncash charges (such as D&A) – Increase in Working capital - Capex
Free Cash Flows to the Firm (FCFF)
Fahmi Ben Abdelkader © Financial Statement Analysis10/23/2013 11:38 AM 19
FCFE = Net income + Noncash charges (D&A) – Increase in Working capital - Capex + Net Borrowing

The financing cycle is the “flip-side” of the inves tment and operating cycles
Classifying company cash flows The Operating Cycle and the Working CapitalThe Investment Cycle and the Free Cash FlowThe Financing Cycle
When a company’s free cash flow is negative, the company covers its funding shortfall through its financing cycle by raising capital.
Financial inflows: equity or debtFinancial inflows: equity or debt
Financial outflows: dividends, share repurchase, capital repayments, interest payments, etc.
As future cash flows are uncertain, a distinction has to be made between a firm’s commitments regarding capital providers:
Equity holders: (+) decision-making powers and control (voting rights)(+) entitled to benefits generated by the business
Fahmi Ben Abdelkader © Financial Statement Analysis10/23/2013 11:38 AM 23
(+) entitled to benefits generated by the business(-) risk: uncertain revenues and no possible repayment obligations
Debt holders: (+) predetermined fixed income and certain revenues, regardless of the firm’s performance(+) do not take part in the venture’s risk (except for default risk)(-) lower revenue and opportunity costs

Operating versus financing activities
Classifying company cash flows The Operating Cycle and the Working CapitalThe Investment Cycle and the Free Cash FlowThe Financing Cycle
� In calculating financial ratios which intend to measure a firm’s profitability, it is beneficial to separate ‘operations’ and ‘investments in operations’ from financing activities
� In financial statements, the distinction between operating items and financial items is not always easy to make due to several factors:
The definition of operations is not clear-cutThe specifications in the income statement and the balance sheet do not clearly distinguish between operating and financing activities
Fahmi Ben Abdelkader © Financial Statement Analysis10/23/2013 11:38 AM 26
� Which activities included in operations depend on the business model and the characteristics of the firm?
Items that are sometimes categorised as belonging to ‘operations’ may at other times be classified as belonging to ‘financing’.
