[11]
hello everyone hi welcome to the channel to Wallstreetmojo friends today we are
[17]
going to learn a concept that is free cash flow yield FCFY what exactly
[23]
this is seems to be quite interesting one as you can see a graph over here we
[28]
have a data of two companies one is Amazon and one is Ford Motors free cash
[35]
flow yield yield means the percentage so you can see the blue is Amazon Amazon
[41]
has a constant FCFY yield of 0.6% and that of Ford Motors is 23.10
[49]
what exactly is this exactly what's the concept all about
[54]
let's get into the nitty-gritty of the same FCFY is basically a valuation
[61]
metric which measures how much the extra cash our company makes expected to make
[67]
from the operation as a percent of the company value so this ratio standardized
[72]
the free cash flow of the company against the market value of the you can say the
[80]
market expected to make from its operation as a percentage of the company
[83]
value so this ratio basically standardizes the FCF of a company
[88]
against its market value and is similar to earning yield you must have learned
[95]
about earning yield except that it uses free cash flow against its market
[103]
against i mean from from the cash flow statement rather than the net earnings
[106]
and that's a good thing in itself okay from the income statement higher the
[114]
ratio okay higher the this ratio the more
[118]
attractive is going to be the investment since it gives the indicator indication
[125]
that the investors are paying less for each unit of the free cash flow now many
[129]
stakeholders consider cash flow as more accurate of the company's performance
[135]
compared to the earning since cash flow represents our forms ability to sustain
[140]
its operations furthermore free cash flow gives a company
[145]
our flexibility to increase its intrinsic value since
[151]
the cash flow leftover can be used for paying dividends and interest reducing
[156]
the debt and acquisition in the future investments so let's understand how to
[161]
calculate calculate the free cash flow yield now the free cash flow yield can
[168]
be computed from the equity shareholders perspective as well as from the firms
[172]
for spectrum so equity and firm both while computing the FCFY we need to
[178]
make sure that the denominator and the numerator are consistent with both of
[182]
them being either equity equity value or the firms value first we'll see the f
[187]
FCF yield formula that is the FCFE formula from the perspective of the you
[197]
can say common equity shareholders free cash flow yield calculated is calculated
[201]
as something as follow now the formula FCFF okay FCFY over here is equal to
[210]
your free cash flow from the firm per share that is the cash flow the free
[215]
cash flow to the equity I'll just write over here as the cash flow of FCFE
[222]
per share divided by the market price per share so this is
[231]
going to the formula where FCFE over here you can see at the very beginning
[236]
is basically your net income so you can say FCFE is equal to your net income
[244]
plus any non-recurring you know expenses less any non-operating income plus
[256]
non-cash operating expenses and less equity re investments
[269]
non cash operating expenses are added back since they are accounting expenses
[274]
but not cash expenses further non recurring on non operating income or
[280]
expenses are excluded to derive recurring cash flow from the core
[283]
operations so for maintaining the consistence in the calculation the
[287]
equity reinvestment needs are subtracted from the gross cash flow to arrive at
[292]
the free cash flow that is available to the equity holders so equity
[297]
reinvestment the equity reinvestment is going to be your CAPEX acts minus the debt
[306]
okay it's going to be CAPEX less any debt plus any change in the working
[315]
capital right you need to deduct any from this you
[319]
need to deduct that is something that is any new debt issue - any debt repayment
[327]
close the bracket and less any
[333]
you can say new preferred stock issue - the preferred dividend so the net
[338]
capital expenditure is considered over here is considered to arrive at the net
[343]
cash flow from the investment in the fixed assets again since the increase in
[347]
the working capital you can save free up the available cash flow we are
[353]
concerned with the cash flow changes due to changes in the working capital so to
[357]
the extent the firm finances this reinvestment by mix of equity and debt
[366]
and preferred equity debt holders and so on and so forth within the total
[369]
reinvestments are subtracted to arrive at the reinvestment of the equity the
[374]
second is your FCFF formula free cash flow yield calculation from
[381]
the firm perspective that is equity preferred and debt holders is something
[384]
like this FCFF is equal to your FCFE plus any
[391]
interest expense right and as in that interest expense is going to be 1-
[396]
tax okay you need to add any principal
[401]
repayment - net debt and preferred dividends so this is going to be the
[406]
formula as n FCFY is going to be FCFY is going to be your free cash flow
[413]
to the firm / EV / the enterprise value and over here
[419]
the enterprise value is equal to your market cap that is your market cap
[427]
market capitalization of the equity
[431]
MC of equity plus the debt less the cash so the free
[440]
cash flow calculation from the firms perspective represents the free cash
[444]
flow left to all the claim holders against the investment made so here the
[448]
investment is depicted by the enterprise value which is the market value of the
[452]
investments by all the investor of the form while the market capitalization
[457]
represents the market value of the portion owned by the shareholders since we
[462]
are considering all the claim holders we need to add back the add back to FCFF
[467]
all the payments that is made to the lenders that is the amount of the debt
[471]
lenders and he preferred shoulders like interest expense net debt repayments and
[475]
preferred dividends a simpler way to caliber of calculating FCFF is
[479]
subtracting the capital expenditure from the operating cash flows in the cash
[484]
flow statement so FCFF you can say the operating cash flow right less the capital
[491]
expenditures now you can see some data over here this
[496]
is of Amazon cash flow yield see in case of Amazon when considering the property
[500]
plant and equipment the PPE okay in acquisition under the capital and built
[506]
to suit Lee's trailing 12 months FCFF FY is negative it is negative as you
[515]
can see - 0.91% was and 0.36% in spirit of the company showing
[521]
positive cash flows of 1.2 billion dollars and 3.4 billion that is
[529]
in financially or 17 and 16 in spite of that you have your FCFY as negative
[535]
okay so we can make the final conclusion based on this examples and what we
[541]
studied FCFY is an important financial metric which provides a more vivid
[546]
picture of the financial health of the firm as compared to the net income the
[550]
ratio is valuable as if it is relatable to the value received against the
[555]
investment made a company with a high cash flow compared to its assets may be
[560]
over price in the market leading to the lower
[564]
FCFY oh and and vice versa so FCFY helps
[570]
in analyzing the strength of the firm negative you can say a negative free
[575]
cash flow yield or negative free cash flow may indicate that the firm is not
[580]
liquid enough in its operation and would need external funding for continuing its
[584]
operation so the continuous decline in the free cash flow may impact the future
[587]
earning growth in contrast the rising free cash flow allows the companies to
[592]
self-finance without resorting to any costly external financing for growth
[597]
runs grew those enhancing the shareholder value so however you can say
[602]
that FCFY cannot alone be considered as the only metric for making investment
[606]
decisions and firms in the high growth rate for high growth phase may have a
[611]
decent earning but the cash flow may get fully consumed by capital expenditure
[616]
hence this firms may report lower you can say FCFY in spite of the promising
[622]
growth prospects thank you everyone
