[11]
hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo watch the video
[16]
till the end also if you are new to this channel then you can subscribe us by
[20]
clicking the bell ican friends today we are going to learn that is a concept on
[26]
net operating loss so since our childhood we have been taught that you
[33]
know the objective of the financial management is basically to create value
[38]
for the shareholders so the definition of this value is different for different
[41]
people so for some the financial analyst the benchmark is to increase nothing
[47]
more than but EPS for them it's it's that's the case while others crave for
[54]
benchmark for increasing the market price per share which we call as MPs so
[59]
that debate on pros and cons of one approach or the other goes on like a
[65]
vicious circle so one thing on which both school of thoughts agree is that
[71]
the driver of EPs and MPs is one single thing that's called as net profit it's a
[79]
driver for both of them okay now the most scared thing in the
[84]
corporate world there is tremendous pressure on the management to increase
[88]
the net profit most of the enterprise goals and even the performance goals of
[92]
senior management are linked and aligned to it hence you know the losses are
[96]
always thrown up upon reporting of loss even in a single order can lead to
[102]
unfamiliar sacking of senior executives but like in real world exceptions are
[107]
there in the corporate world to and that operating loss is one such exception
[112]
let's get into the nitty-gritty of the same and here we we will discuss net
[119]
operating loss however you know if you want you can also go and learn M&A for
[124]
which the M&A training is available now what is net operating loss or noL it
[131]
as as simple as that see according to the US federal tax laws a net operating
[134]
loss is a loss that is arising you know period when the tax deductible
[140]
expenses okay that is the expense tax deductible expense exceeds the that
[148]
revenue if this thing happens then there is a operating NOL so this loss
[153]
can be carried forward in the future and you know they set off in the future of
[156]
profits allowing the carpet player tool to pay lesser tax than required to put
[161]
simply net operating loss is basically a blessing in disguise you can say now
[168]
this net operating loss as you can see over here this is of Go Daddy okay
[174]
they made losses over here this is the net operating loss of Go Daddy
[178]
so basically based on this let me explain you know how things are going to
[183]
work and we'll be discussing an illustration so that you know you get to
[187]
know much more in a good fashion now let's discuss one example now in this
[194]
example it says you know there's a company called pine Apple Inc it has a
[197]
taxable revenue of $5,00,000 of an expenditure which is close enough to
[202]
6,00,000 and in 2016 on account of the change in the economic factor it made a
[207]
taxable revenue of $1,00,000 expenditures close in with $9,00,000
[212]
tax rate 50% let's see the computations of the tax expenses for
[218]
2015 see you can see the taxable revenue that was 5,00,000 and it except expenses
[225]
6,00,000 which was available in our details right now what we can do we just deduct
[233]
the revenue from the expenses that gives us the net operating loss that is 1,00,000
[237]
and negative so the tax expenses basically will be 0 now over here it has
[243]
written since the tax is always paid on the profit and loss
[247]
hence the tax wait in 2015 is going to be nil so let's see the computation of
[251]
the tax expenses for the year 2016 based on the heaters that is available to us
[257]
now when we go down we see the taxable revenue was close enough to 1 million
[264]
right and the taxable expenses was 9,00,000 which gives us the net operating
[270]
profit as 1,00,000 the tax expenses will be 50,000
[275]
it is as simple as that so it is quite visible from here that you know the
[280]
tax paid in both the years by pine Apple Inc you know is close enough to
[286]
50,000 right over here zero in the previous previous one and
[294]
50,000 in the 2016 so over here we need to load something
[298]
that you know in in this above example we have made a important assumption that
[302]
you know they carry forward of the losses are not allowed well this is not
[306]
how things actually work in real world carry forward of the losses are always
[311]
allowed by the federal and state governments subjective fulfillment of
[315]
certain conditions and tax provisions let's now deal with example number two
[320]
that will be with net operating losses let's have a look now over here will be
[326]
we'll be looking at the impact on the carried forward on the tax expenses or
[332]
the tax paid basically 5,00,000 and 6,00,000 no change loss right and the tax
[340]
expenses 50% 50,000 that is 50% on 1,00,000 which is
[344]
negative 50,000 so that you don't need to pay so that will be tax
[348]
loss of 50,000 in 2015 over here we can carry forward this amount in the
[353]
next year that is a 2016 is its team and it can be used and it can be set off
[358]
against the future profits that is available to you now let's see their tax
[362]
competitions for the year of 2016 and see what exactly is there in case of
[367]
2016 the taxable revenue was how much 1 million taxable expenses now
[372]
9,00,000 and operating profit 1,00,000 now the tax expense was 50,000 but the loss that
[380]
is the tax you can see they carry forward the tax loss from the 2015 that
[385]
is available to us 50,000 so in a way your tax paid will be nil right so
[396]
tax paid in both years is lil so thus we can see that you know how net operating
[401]
loss of $1,00,000 has turned out to be blessing in disguise in 2016
[407]
since this carried forward of losses okay carry forward of the tax loss of
[413]
5,50,000 on account of the net operating loss in 2015 has lowered the
[417]
net operating profit in 2016 so thereby they are reducing the tax paid now let's
[424]
see some carry bags and carry forward concepts now the example that we learn
[431]
that depicts you know the carry forward of the net operating losses see the
[435]
regulatory provisions also allows this carry backs of the net operating losses
[439]
now what happens the net operating profits is can be carried forward for
[446]
2 years you can say and and can be carried forward for 20 years for set of
[452]
against EE income in the past or future period respectively so you can say 2 to
[457]
20 years now beyond an after 2 to 20 years any remaining net operating profit
[465]
pending set offs expire okay there is an option available
[470]
to the company for waiving of the carry-back period and directly use the
[474]
carry forwards but this is hardly availed by any company since the principle of
[479]
the present value dictates that the value of the savings in the early period
[483]
is greater than the value of the savings in the later period
[487]
see corporations basically have a high huge I mean huge fluctuation in the
[494]
taxable income and expenses which results in taxpayers having substantial
[499]
profits and you can say 1 year and losses in other Europe so in order to
[505]
overcome this thing this temporary fluctuation and provide relief to the
[510]
corporate against the unfavorable business cycle they carried forward you
[515]
can say of the and carry back provisions have been provided basically by the
[521]
government now guys see there are some rules basically you know I'll read some
[527]
things in in a short way see rules for set-off of net operating losses in order
[533]
to maximize the savings see first no first set of the NOL that is a net
[537]
operating loss by carrying it back to preceding 2 years so you can say two
[543]
years preceding back and if any losses are still available for set off then you
[547]
know the second thing that you can do is set off the NOL in the next year and
[553]
carry forward it for the next 20 years now the third is any remaining NOL
[560]
expires after 20 years so after 20 years it will expire hands it will have no
[568]
value not the sequence you know while availing the tax credit basically the
[573]
sequence you know it ensures the maximum savings to the company on account of the
[578]
net operating losses let's see a example that is on tax carry back example and
[584]
let me show you some details now over here in this particular example as you
[590]
can see see the Iron & steel company reports are basically a pre-tax
[594]
operating loss of $90,000 in 2007 for both the financial reporting
[601]
and income tax purposes see financial income and taxable income for the
[605]
previous 2 years you know over here you can see the details 2005
[609]
and 2006 you can see the data how this have been calculated with
[614]
your taxable income 40000 x 25% that is your
[618]
10000 is the amount of the taxable income
[620]
in this case 15,000 so the total tax refund is 25,000 so you know forward
[627]
company reports a pre-tax operating loss of 60,000 you know in 2007 for both
[633]
the financial reporting and income tax purposes now let's understand some of
[637]
the accounting treatment of the net operating losses see net operating
[643]
losses are basically the assets of the company since it reduces the future tax
[647]
liability see under further asset classification it is classified under
[651]
deferred tax assets very important this is the deferred tax assets basically is
[658]
created for the very reason on account of the temporary differences see that
[663]
reduces the taxable income and a deferred tax assets is created on the
[667]
assumption that they come even earn sufficient profit in the future from
[670]
which the past net operating losses can be set off company will pass the journal
[676]
entries like deferred tax assets that will be that will be debited - it will
[684]
be income statement that is you can say profit and loss account or income
[689]
statement so this will be basically credited this will be the journal entry
[694]
see for tax assets on account of the net operating losses are presented and
[697]
disclosed under the non current assets in the balance sheet ok now let's see
[706]
how the sources of the net operating losses see one of the most important
[710]
thing to note that you know the net operating loss is the excess of the
[714]
taxable expenses over here that we learn it expenses or the deduction over the
[720]
taxable income so the taxable income or expenses are different from the normal
[723]
business income expenses see accounting net profit or net profit mention in the
[727]
income statement is derived after deducting all the business expenses like
[732]
depreciation inflow expenses and so on and so forth
[736]
from the revenue earned by the company whereas as for the tax law a certain
[740]
business expenses are not allowed to be deducted from the revenue hence the net
[744]
profit or loss as per the tax laws will always be different from the normal
[749]
profit as disclosed in the financial statement like for example the net
[752]
profit and loss earned by Pepsi I'm talking about PepsiCo very
[756]
well-known company its financial statement
[759]
PepsiCo had shown in in in 2015 the net profit earned by them was close enough
[765]
to 4.45 sorry $5452 and
[771]
million dollars and the figure which is disclosed in the PepsiCo's
[775]
financial statement is the accounting net profit which should be significantly
[779]
different from the tax profit now I'll show you some of the tax deductions you
[784]
know or basically I'll make you understand that you know the tax
[787]
deductions or allowance generally increases the net operating losses see
[792]
first the normal business or trade expenses second the deductions on
[798]
account of the business related expenses as an employee deduction for yep normal
[802]
business losses and fourth is like deduction for the losses arising in the
[805]
associate business companies now let's learn what is net operating net
[810]
operating losses in mergers and acquisition the net operating loss
[815]
reduction allows the company to carry back and forward the loss in a low
[818]
setting of the taxable profit against it sit minimizes the disparity that would
[822]
otherwise result between business and this table profit and business without
[826]
fluctuating profit this calls for the very careful consideration for these
[830]
strategic decision makers while choking or plan for M&A you can say while
[836]
choking out the plan for M&A that is very important now what is it is in a
[840]
great deal of companies many corporate looks out for the companies that have a
[844]
huge accumulated net operating losses rather than operating profit operating
[848]
loss basically helps to reduce the group's tax expenses and thereby the
[852]
resulting in the increase in the oral profit see in corporate world we can see
[855]
many examples of Austral taken account of the net operating losses company look
[860]
out for such target companies with a huge accumulated losses in order to
[864]
safeguard its interest of those companies like basically IRS had
[869]
modified the IRS code so finally let's make the conclusion out of whatever we
[875]
have learned see there is there is also one important
[880]
point to note that you know each country has their own rules and regulation which
[884]
governs ESET often carry forward of the operating losses see basically this law
[888]
rules and regulations are complex and require careful consideration of each
[891]
provisions like for example in United States each state has its own rules and
[896]
regulation governing the tax code 30 states DC confirms in the federal tax
[901]
code allowing 20 years of nol carry forward while aliveness allows 12 years
[906]
Kansas and Vermont allows 10 years see net operating loss and reductions are
[911]
very important safeguard provided basically - or you can say corporate
[917]
especially those businesses which operates in industry that fluctuates
[920]
with the business cycle and such cyclically business might experience
[923]
significant profit during boom and significant loss during the recession
[926]
the recession cycle so annoyance are important assets for the company it
[932]
works on the pay-as-you-earn principle and when the company earns profit it
[936]
pays taxes and when it incurs loss it gets some relief hence they are valuable
[940]
asset in fact some of the company purchase are they're coming solely for
[944]
the net operating losses it's a famous person for poet say that you know
[949]
don't grieve anything you lose comes around in another form the same could be
[954]
said with respect to the net operating losses so that's it for this particular
