Rosembaum Book Summary
Now we calculate the key financial statistics and ratios, as well as the calculations behind
them. We need to describe the mechanics for calculating LTM financial statistics,
calendarizing company financials and adjustments for non-recurring items.
Let’s see some of the key financials metrics that we need to calculate:
- Equity Value = Share Price x Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding. Fully Diluted Shares
Outstanding are calculated as Basic Shares Outstanding + Options and Warrants +
Convertibles. an option is considered “in-the-money” when the underlying
company’s share price surpasses the option’s exercise price.
Example:
the 5 million options
are in-the-money as
the exercise price of
$18.00 is lower than
the current share price
of $20.00. This means
that the holders of the
options have the right
to buy the company’s shares at $18.00 and sell them at $20.00, thereby realizing the $2.00
differential. Under the TSM, it is assumed that the $18.00 of potential proceeds received by
the company is used to repurchase shares that are currently trading at $20.00. Therefore,
the number of shares repurchased is 90% ($18.00 / $20.00) of the options, or 4.5 million
shares in total (90% × 5 million). To calculate net new shares, the 4.5 million shares repur-
chased are subtracted from the 5 million options, resulting in 0.5 million. These new shares
are added to the company’s basic shares outstanding to derive fully diluted shares of 100.5
million.
