Decomposing ROIC
Evaluating Historical Performance
To analyze a company’s historical performance, we proceed in three steps:

Step 3
Analyze ROIC and Economic Profit
Return on invested capital (ROIC) measures the economic performance of a company’s core
business. ROIC is independent of financial structure and can be disaggregated into
measures examining profitability and capital efficiency.
Analyze Revenue Growth
Break down revenue growth into its four components: organic revenue growth, currency
effects, acquisitions, and accounting changes.
Evaluate Credit Health and Financial Structure
Assess the company’s liquidity and evaluate its capital structure in order to determine
whether the company has the financial resources to conduct business and make short- and
long-term investments.

Using ROIC to Compare Operating Performance
• To measure historical operating
performance, compute ROIC by
comparing NOPAT to invested
capital:

• The ROIC of UPS was 5-12% higher than that of
FedEx from 2004-2013. Thus despite similar
revenue levels, the enterprise value of UPS traded
at roughly double that of FedEx.

ROIC measured with goodwill and acquired intangibles. Goodwill and acquired intangibles
do not meaningfully affect ROIC for either company.
3
ROIC With or Without Goodwill?
• Compute ROIC both with and without
goodwill and acquired intangibles,
because each ratio analyzes different
things.
• To measure aggregate value creation for the
company’s shareholders, measure ROIC with
goodwill.

Understanding Value Creation: Decomposing ROIC
• In 2013, FedEx’s ROIC (6.2%) trailed UPS’s ROIC (16.9%) by over 10 percentage points.
• But what is driving this difference in performance?
• Can the deficit be closed?
• To better understand ROIC, we can decompose the ratio as follows:
ROIC = (1 - Operating Tax Rate) x
EBITA
Revenues
x
Revenues Invested Capital
Profit Margin
Capital Efficiency
• As the formula demonstrates, a company’s ROIC is driven by its ability to (1)
maximize profitability, (2) optimize capital efficiency, or (3) minimize taxes.
This equation can be organized into a tree …

Compensation and benefits have been adjusted for nonoperating expenses, such as nonoperating pension expense. Other expenses have been adjusted for operating leases.
Understanding Value Creation: Decomposing ROIC
• Margin Perspective:
• UPS’s operating margin was 12.6% versus 9.8% for Lowe’s.
• Do they have the same business model?
• Their business mixes are different, e.g. the ratio of overnight to ground-based
deliveries. Thus UPS’s primary cost driver is its own labor force, while FedEx’s
primary drivers are purchased transportation, fuel, depreciation, and “other” expenses
such as landing fees and rental expense.
• Capital efficiency derives primarily from the efficiency of fixed assets.
• UPS’s capital turnover (2.24) is more than double FedEx’s 1.07.

Understanding Value Creation: Nonfinancial Metrics
• In an external analysis, ratios are often confined to financial performance.
• If you are working inside a company, however, or if the company releases operating data, you should link operating
drivers directly to return on invested capital. For instance, how can we use data about employees and miles flown
for airlines?

Nonfinancial Metrics: Analyzing the Data
• It appears that United Airlines and JetBlue
have similar labor costs per dollar of
revenue, 22.5 cents and 20.9 cents
respectively. This statistic is misleading. It
costs United Airlines $40.50 per thousand
ASMs to JetBlue’s $26.50. That cost per
ASM is offset by United Airlines’ ability to
charge 41.5% more per ASM than JetBlue.

Return on invested capital (ROIC) measures the economic performance of a company’s core
business. ROIC is independent of financial structure and can be disaggregated into

Break down revenue growth into its four components: organic revenue growth, currency
effects, acquisitions, and accounting changes.
Evaluate Credit Health and Financial Structure
Assess the company’s liquidity and evaluate its capital structure in order to determine
whether the company has the financial resources to conduct business and make short- and
long-term investments.
12
Analyzing Revenue Growth
•
The value of a company is driven by return on invested capital, the weighted average cost of capital, and growth. The
ability to grow cash flows over the long term depends on a company’s ability to grow its revenues organically.
•
Calculating revenue growth directly from the income statement will suffice for most companies. The year-to-year
revenue growth numbers sometimes can be misleading, however. The three prime culprits affecting revenue growth
are:
1. Currency changes. Foreign revenues must be consolidated into domestic financial statements. If foreign currencies are rising in
value relative to the company’s home currency, this translation, at better rates, will lead to higher revenue.
2. Mergers and acquisitions. When one company purchases another, the bidding company may not restate historical financial
statements. This will bias one-year growth rates upward.
3. Changes in accounting policies. When a company change its revenue recognition policies, comparing year-to-year revenues
can be misleading.

Organic Growth vs. Reported Growth
Compass and Sodexo: Revenue Growth Analysis
•
•
Compass (based in the United Kingdom)
and Sodexo (based in France) are global
providers of canteen services in businesses,
schools, and sporting venues.
In 2013, Sodexo’s revenue growth rate,
0.9%, trailed Compass’ by 3.0%.The
difference in growth rates is dramatic and
misleading. While currency effects (Pounds
Sterling vs Euro) impacted both, only
Sodexo was seriously effected by one-time
items. Thus Sodexo’s organic growth rate,
2.9%, only trails Compass’ by 1.4%.

Analyzing Revenue Growth: Currency Changes
•
Companies with extensive foreign business will report revenues using both current and constant exchange rates (CER).
•
For instance, IBM reported a year-to-year revenue change of 9.8 percent in 2003, but a year-to-year constant currency
change of only 2.8 percent.
IBM 2003 Annual Report, Page 51
Had currencies remained at their prior-year levels, IBM revenue would have been $83.5 billion, rather than the $89.1 billion reported.
16
Analyzing Revenue Growth: M&A
• Stripping the effect of acquisitions from reported revenues is difficult. Unless an acquisition
is deemed material by the company’s accountants, company filings do not need to detail
or even report the acquisition.
1. For larger acquisitions, a company will report pro forma statements that recast
historical financials as though the acquisition were completed at the beginning of the
fiscal year. Revenue growth then should be calculated using the pro forma revenue
numbers
2. If the target company publicly reports its own financial data, you can construct pro
forma statements manually by combining revenue of the acquirer and the target for
the prior year. But beware: The bidder will include partial-year revenues from the
target for the period after the acquisition is completed.
17
Analyzing Revenue Growth: M&A
• Consider the hypothetical purchase
of a target company in the seventh
month of year 3.
• Both the parent company and the
target are growing organically at 10
percent per year. Consolidated
revenue growth, however, is
reported at 22.8 percent in year 3
and 18.2 percent in year 4.

Analyzing Revenue Growth: Accounting Changes
•
Each year the Financial Accounting Standards Board (U.S.) and International Accounting Standards Board
(Europe) make recommendations concerning the financial treatment of certain business transactions.
•
Consider IFRS 15, effective January 2017, from the International Accounting Standards Board, which concerns
revenue from contracts with customers.
• The International Accounting Standards Board feels that revenue Standards do not offer adequate guidance on a number of
important topics. Thus economically similar transactions are accounted for differently.
• The Standard establishes a five-step process to determine the timing and magnitude of revenue recognition.
• Some companies may see one-time increases or drops in revenue as recognition is delayed or accelerated.
International Accounting Standards Board, IFRS 15 Feedback Statement, page 3
IFRS 15 addresses those deficiencies by specifying a comprehensive and robust framework for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of
revenue. In particular, IFRS 15:
• improves the comparability of revenue from contracts with customers;
• reduces the need for interpretive guidance to be developed on a case-by-case basis to address emerging revenue recognition issues;
and
• provides more useful information through improved disclosure requirements.

Assess the company’s liquidity and evaluate its capital structure in order to determine
whether the company has the financial resources to conduct business and make short- and
long-term investments.
21
Credit Health and Capital Structure
• In the final step of historical analysis, focus on how the company has financed its operations. Ask:
• How is the company financed? That is, what proportion of invested capital (IC) comes from creditors versus equity
holders?
• Is this capital structure sustainable?
• Can the company survive an industry downturn?
• To assess the aggressiveness of a company’s capital structure, examine:
• Liquidity—the ability to meet short-term obligations. We measure liquidity by examining the interest coverage ratio.
• Leverage—the ability to meet long-term obligations. Leverage is measured by computing the market-based debt-to-value
ratio.

Home Depot and FedEx : Measuring Coverage
• The interest coverage ratio measures a company’s
ability to meet short-term obligations:

Interest Expense
• EBITDA/interest measures the ability to meet shortterm financial commitments using profits, as well as
depreciation dollars earmarked for replacement
capital.
• EBITA/interest measures the ability to pay interest
without having to cut expenditures intended to
replace depreciating equipment.

• The use of leverage magnifies the effect of
operating performance.
• The higher the leverage ratio (lC/E),
the greater the risk.
• Specifically, with a high leverage ratio
(a very steep line), the smallest
change in operating performance can
lead to enormous changes in ROE.
