Principles Used in This Chapter


Principle 1: Money Has a Time Value.
Debt securities require that the borrower repay the lender over time so cash flows have to be adjusted for time value of money.

Principle 2: There is a Risk-Return Tradeoff.


The rate used to discount future cash flows depends on the risk of default by the borrower.

Principles Used in This Chapter (cont.)


Principle 3: Cash Flows Are the Source of Value
Debt securities provide value to the lender through the interest payments on the outstanding loan amount and the repayment of the loan balance itself.

9.1 Overview of Corporate Debt

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

Corporate Borrowings
There are two main sources of borrowing for a corporation:
1. Loan from a financial institution (known as private debt) 2. Bonds (known as public debt since they can be traded in public financial markets)

9-8

Corporate Borrowings (cont.)


Smaller firms choose to raise money from banks in the form of loans because of the high costs associated with issuing bonds.

Larger firms generally raise money from banks for short-term needs and depend on the bond market for long-term financing needs.

9-9

Borrowing Money in the Private Financial Market


Financial Institutions are an important source of capital for corporations. The loan might be used to finance firms day-to-day operations or it might be used for the purchase of equipment or property. Such loans are considered private market transactions since it only involves the two parties to the loan.

9-10

Borrowing Money in the Private Financial Market (cont.)


In the private financial market, loans are typically floating rate loans i.e. the interest rate is periodically adjusted based on a specific benchmark rate. The most popular benchmark rate is the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-11

Borrowing Money in the Private Financial Market (cont.)


LIBOR is the daily interest rate that is based on the interest rates at which banks offer to lend in the London wholesale or interbank market.
Interbank market is the market where banks loan each other money.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-12

Borrowing Money in the Private Financial Market (cont.)


A typical floating rate loan will specify the following:
The spread or margin between the loan rate and the benchmark rate expressed as basis points. A maximum and a minimum annual rate, to which the rate can adjust, called the ceiling and floor. A maturity date Collateral

Checkpoint 9.1
Calculating the Rate of Interest on a Floating Rate Loan The Slinger Metal Fabricating Company entered into a loan agreement with its bank to finance the firms working capital. The loan called for a floating rate that was 25 basis points (.25%) over an index based on LIBOR. In addition, the loan adjusted weekly based on the closing value of the index for the previous week within the bounds of a maximum annual rate of 2.5% and a minimum of 1.75%. Calculate the rate of interest for the weeks 2 through 10.

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy


We have to determine the floating rate for every week and see if it exceeds the ceiling or falls below the floor.

Floating rate on Loan


= LIBOR for the previous week + spread of .75%

9-24

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy


The floating rate on loan cannot exceed the ceiling rate of 2.5% or drop below the floor rate of 1.75%.
If the floating rate falls below the floor, the rate will be reset at the floor rate. If the floating rate exceeds the ceiling, the rate will be reset at the ceiling rate.

Step 4: Analyze
The ceiling is the maximum rate charged on the loan while floor is the minimum rate charged on the loan. If the ceiling or floor rates are violated, the loan rate is reset to the ceiling rate or the floor rate. If there were no ceiling, the loan rate would have been 2.73% during the first week of the loan, and 2.63% and 2.68% during the last two weeks of the loan.

Borrowing Money in the Public Financial Market


Firms also raise money by selling debt securities to individual investors and financial institutions such as mutual funds.

In order to sell debt securities to the public, the issuing firm must meet the legal requirements as specified by the securities laws.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-29

Borrowing Money in the Public Financial Market


Corporate bond is a debt security issued by corporation that has promised future payments and a maturity date.

If the firm fails to pay the promised future payments of interest and principal, the bond trustee can classify the firm as insolvent and force the firm into bankruptcy.

Basic Bond Features


The basic features of a bond include the following:
Bond Indenture Claims on Assets and Income Par or Face Value Coupon Interest Rate Maturity and Repayment of Principal Call Provision and Conversion Features

Bond Ratings and Default Risk


Bond ratings indicate the default risk i.e. the probability that the firm will make the promised payments.

Bond ratings affect the rate of return that lenders require of the firm and the firms cost of borrowing.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-33

Bond Ratings and Default Risk (cont.)


Consistent with Principle 2 (There is a Risk-Return Tradeoff), the lower the bond rating, the higher the risk of default and higher the rate of return demanded in the capital market. Bond ratings are provided by three rating agencies Moodys, Standard & Poors, and Fitch Investor Services.

9.2 Valuing Corporate Debt

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

Valuing Corporate Debt


The value of corporate debt is equal to the present value of the contractually promised principal and interest payments (the cash flows) discounted back to the present using the markets required yield.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-37

Valuing Corporate Debt (cont.)


The valuation of corporate debt relies on the first three basic principles of finance:
Principle 1: Money Has a Time Value. Principle 2: There is a Risk-Return Tradeoff. Principle 3: Cash Flows are the Source of Value.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-38

Step-by-Step: Valuing Bonds by Discounting Future Cash Flows


Step 1: Determine the amount and timing of bondholder cash flows. The total cash flows equal the promised interest payments and principal payment.

Annual Interest = Par value coupon rate


Example 9.1: The annual interest for a bond with coupon interest rate of 7% and a par value of $1,000 is equal to $70, (.07 $1,000 = $70).

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-39

Step-by-Step: Valuing Bonds by Discounting Future Cash Flows (cont.) Step 2: Estimate the appropriate discount rate on a similar risk bond. Discount rate is the return the bond will yield if it is held to maturity and all bond payments are made. Discount rate can be either calculated or obtained from various sources (such as Yahoo! Finance).

Calculating a Bonds Yield to Maturity (YTM)


We can think of YTM as the discount rate that makes the present value of the bonds promised interest and principal equal to the bonds observed market price.

9-42

Checkpoint 9.2
Calculating the Yield to Maturity on a Corporate Bond
Calculate the yield to maturity for the following bond issued by Ford Motor Company (F) with a price of $744.80, where we assume that interest payments are made annually at the end of each year and the bond has a maturity of exactly 11 years.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-48

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy


We can use equation 9-2a to find YTM. YTM is the rate that makes the present value of all future expected cash flows equal to the current market price. We can also solve for YTM using a calculator and a spreadsheet.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-49

Step 3: Solve
Using Mathematical Equation

It is cumbersome to solve for YTM by hand using the equation. It is more practical to use the financial calculator or the spread sheet.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-50

Step 3: Solve (cont.)


Using Financial Calculator

Enter:
N = 11 I/Y = 7.89 PV = -900 PMT = 65 FV = 1,000

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-51

Step 3: Solve (cont.)


Using an Excel Spreadsheet YTM = RATE(nper, pmt,pv,fv) = RATE (11,65,-900,1000) = 7.89%

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-52

Step 4: Analyze
The yield to maturity on the bond is 7.89%. The yield is higher than the coupon rate of interest of 6.5%. Since the coupon rate is lower than the yield to maturity, the bond is trading at a price below $1,000. We call this a discount bond.

9-53

Using Market Yield to Maturity Data


Market yield to maturity is regularly reported by a number of investor services and is quoted in terms of credit spreads or spreads to Treasury bonds. Table 9-4 contains some examples of yield spreads.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-54

Using Market Yield to Maturity Data (cont.)


The spread values in table 9-4 represent basis points over a US Treasury security of the same maturity as the corporate bond. For example, a 30-year Ba1/BB+ corporate bond has a spread of 275 basis points over a similar 30-year US Treasury bond.
Thus this corporate bond should earn 2.75% over the 4.56% earned on treasury yield or 7.31%.

Promised Returns versus Expected Yield to Maturity


The yield to maturity calculation assumes that the bond performs according to the terms of the bond contract or indenture. Since corporate bonds are subject to risk of default, the promised yield to maturity may not be equal to expected yield to maturity.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-57

Promised Returns versus Expected Yield to Maturity (cont.)


Example 9.2 Consider a one-year bond that promises a coupon rate of 8% and has a principal (par value) of $1,000. Further assume the bond is currently trading for $850. What is the promised yield to maturity?

9-59

Promised Returns versus Expected Yield to Maturity (cont.)


The yield of 27.06% is based on the assumption of no default. Assume there is a 40% probability of default on this bond and if the bond defaults, the bondholders will receive only 60% of the principal and interest owed. What is the expected YTM on this bond?

Checkpoint 9.3
Valuing a Bond Issue
Consider a $1,000 par value bond issued by AT&T (T) with a maturity date of 2026 and a stated coupon rate of 8.5%. On January 1, 2007, the bond had 20 years left to maturity, and the markets required yield to maturity for similar rated debt was 7.5%. If the markets required yield to maturity on a comparable risk bond is 7.5%, what is the value of the bond?

9-72

Step 4: Analyze
The value of AT&T bond falls to $954.36 when the yield to maturity for comparable risk bond rises to 9%. The bonds are now trading at a discount as the coupon rate on AT&T bonds is lower than the market yield.

Checkpoint 9.4
Valuing a Bond Issue That Pays Semiannual Interest
Reconsider the bond issued by AT&T (T) with a maturity date of 2026 and a stated coupon rate of 8.5%. AT&T pays interest to bondholders on a semiannual basis on January 15 and July 15. On January 1, 2007, the bond had 20 years left to maturity. The markets required yield to maturity for a similarly rated debt was 7.5% per year or 3.75% for six months.

Bond Valuation: Four Key Relationships (cont.)


When a bond can be bought for less than its par value, it is called discount bond. For example, buying a $1,000 par value bond for $950. Bonds will trade at a discount when the yield to maturity on the bond exceeds the coupon rate.

9.4 Types of Bonds

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

Types of Bonds
Table 9-7 contains a listing of major types of long-term debt securities that are sold in the public financial market. The differences among the various types of bond are based on the following bond attributes: Secured versus Unsecured, Priority of claim, Initial offering market, Abnormal risk, Coupon level, Amortizing or non-amortizing, and Convertibility.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-102

Types of Bonds (cont.)


Secured versus Unsecured
Secured bonds have specific assets pledged to support repayment of the bond. Unsecured bond are referred to as debentures. Bonds secured by lien on real property is called a mortgage bond.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-103

Types of Bonds (cont.)


Priority of Claim
The priority of claim refers to the order of repayment when the firms assets are distributed, as in the case of liquidation. Secured bonds are paid first followed by debentures; Among debentures, subordinated debentures have lower priority than secured debt and unsubordinated debentures.

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-104

Types of Bonds (cont.)


Initial Offering Market
Bonds are classified by where they were originally issued (in the domestic bond market or not). For example, Eurobonds are issued in a foreign country but are denominated in domestic currency. For example, a US corporation issuing bonds in Germany in US dollars.
9-105

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

Types of Bonds (cont.)


Abnormal Risk
Junk, or high-yield, bonds have a belowinvestment grade bond rating. These bonds have a high risk of default as the firms that issued these bonds are facing severe financial problems.

Bonds with a zero or very low coupon are called zero coupon bonds. These bonds are issued at substantial discounts from their par value and promise to repay a zero or very low coupon rate each year. The par value is repaid at the maturity of the bond.

Types of Bonds (cont.)


Amortizing or Non-Amortizing
The payments from amortizing bonds, like a home mortgage, include both the interest and principal. The payments from a non-amortizing bonds include only interest. At maturity, the bonds repay the par value of bond.

Determinants of Interest Rates


As we observed earlier, bond prices vary inversely with interest rates. Therefore in order to understand bond pricing we need to know the determinants of interest rates.

Real Rate of Interest and the Inflation Premium


Quotes of interest rates in the financial press are commonly referred to as the nominal (or quoted) interest rates.

Real rate of interest adjusts the nominal rate for the expected effects of inflation.

Real Rate of Interest and the Inflation Premium (cont.)


The nominal return or interest rate on a note or bond can be thought of including four basic components:

Checkpoint 9.5
Solving for the Real Rate of Interest
You have managed to build up your savings over the three years following your graduation from college to a respectable $10,000 and are wondering how to invest it. Your banker says they could pay you 5% on your account for the next year. However, you recently saw on the news that the expected rate of inflation for next year is 3.5%. If you are earning a 5% annual rate of return but the prices of goods and services are rising at a rate of 3.5%, just how much additional buying power would you gain each year? Stated somewhat differently, what real rate of interest would you earn if you made the investment?

Checkpoint 9.5: Check Yourself


Assume now that you expect that inflation will be 5% over the coming year and want to analyze how much better off you will be if you place your savings in an account that also earns just 5%. What is the real rate of return in this circumstance?

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-121

Step 1: Picture the Problem


Let us assume that the prices of goods and services today is $1.00 per unit. With a 5% inflation, these goods and services will cost $1.05. Thus, $10,500 expected in the savings account at the end of the year will buy you only 10,000 units (10,500/1.05) at the end of the year.

Step 3: Solve

rreal = {(1+.05) (1+.05)} 1 = 0%

Copyright 2011 Pearson Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

9-125

Step 4: Analyze
Here the nominal rate of interest is equal to the expected rate of inflation. Therefore, the real rate of return is equal to zero i.e. there is no increase in purchasing power from investing the savings at 5%.

Checkpoint 9.6
Solving for the Nominal Rate of Interest
After considering a number of investment opportunities, you have decided that you should be able to earn a real return of 2% on your $10,000 in savings over the coming year. If the expected rate of inflation is expected to be 3.5% over the coming year, what nominal rate of return must you anticipate in order to earn the 2% real rate of return?

Step 1: Picture the Problem


Let us assume that the prices of goods and services today is $1.00 per unit. If the expected rate of inflation is 4% and you want to be able to purchase 2% more, you will need to earn a nominal rate of interest on your savings that will allow you to buy 10,200 units at $1.04 each.

Default Premium
In addition to accounting for the time value of money and inflation, the interest rate that a firms bonds pay must also offer a default premium i.e. risk that the issuer will fail to repay interest and principal in a timely manner.

Maturity Premium The Term Structure of Interest Rates


Long-term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes. Maturity premium is the compensation that investors demand for bearing interest rate risk on long-term bonds.

Maturity Premium The Term Structure of Interest Rates (cont.)


The relationship between interest rates and time to maturity with risk held constant is known as the term structure of interest rates or the yield curve. Figure 9-3 illustrates a hypothetical yield curve of US Treasury Bonds.

Shifts in the Yield Curve


The term structure of interest rates changes over time as expectations regarding each of the three factors that underlie interest rates change. Figure 9-4 shows the yield curve one day before 911 attack and again two weeks later.

Shifts in the Yield Curve (cont.)


We observe a significant shift in the yield curve in figure 9-4 for short-term interest rates.

Investors shifted their funds to the safety of Treasury securities, pushing up the prices and bringing down the yields.
