Balance Sheet Assets and Investments
 The presence of a long-term investment category on a firm’s
balance sheet signifies the presence of a potentially significant
non-operating asset that will need to be valued
 This means that the analyst will need to dig deeper into the footnotes
of the financial statement to determine the exact nature of the
investments in order to determine an appropriate approach to valuing
them
 This line item (sometimes referred to as long-term investments
because they are assets the company intends to hold for longer than
one year) can consist of stocks and bonds of other companies, real

 At the end of FY18, AAPL reported that is has over $237B in cash, short-term investments,
and long-term investments. If we adjust for these non-operating assets, we see a very
different picture in terms of rate of returns.
 In this example, we deduct the after-tax income from these non-operating assets from
numerator. The denominator is adjusted for the average balance of non-operating assets (we
assume the cash and short-term investments are required for operations). For ROE, we first
assume that all debt is first paid down (and the numerator also excludes the interest expense
on this debt).
 There is no numerator adjustment to ROIC as the NOPLAT utilizes operating income.

Limitations to Ratio Analysis Applications of Ratio Analysis


 Summary and some limitations of ratio analysis:
 Only quantitative data ~ requires human interpretation  Assessing financial health
 Need to assess quality of earnings  Driving and assessing forecasts
 Historical information may not project the future  Companies with similar operating risks
 Need a benchmark  Measuring the cost of capital
 Calculated in different ways by different analysts  Market multiples
 EBITDA is not cash flow but has some uses  Various characteristics can be relevant ~ risk, growth,
 Look for small and negative denominators profitability, investment requirements
 Look for outliers ~ if using averages, use medians not means
