OPERATING REVENUES
• Operating receipts should correspond to sales for the
same period, but they differ because customers may be
granted a payment period or payments of invoice from the
previous period may me received during the current period.

Sales for the period – Increase in trade


or
+ reduction in trade receivables

= operating receipts

• Operating receipts are equal to sales if sales are


immediately paid in cash.

COMPUTING RECEIVABLE RATIOS

• Receivables Turnover =
Sales / Accounts Receivable
5,000 / 956 = 5.23 times
• Days’ Sales in Receivables =
365 / Receivables Turnover
365 / 5.23 = 70 days

Note: All figures are assumed, this company will take


70 days in average to collect their Receivables.
Majority of their payment term must be in Net 45 days.

OPERATING COSTS
• Operating payments are the same as operating costs for
a given period only when adjusted for:

1. Timing differences arising from the company’s


payment terms=> net 30, 45, 60 days
2. The fact that some purchasers are not used during the
same period. => material purchased but products had
not be made until further months

• These difference give raise to:


• Changes in trade payables in the first case;
• Discrepancy between raw material and good for a
resale.

OPERATING COSTS
+ reduction in supplier credit
Operating payments = - increase in supplier credit
+ increase in inventories of raw materials
- reduction in inventories of
raw materials

•The only difference between operating revenues and


receipts and between operating charges and payments
are timing differences deriving from deferred payments
and deferred charges.

WORKING CAPITAL
•The change in WC represents a need for or a source of
financing that must be added to or subtracted from the other
financing requirements or resources.
•The change in operating working capital accounts for
the difference between EBITDA and operating cash flow.
1. If positive, it represents a financing requirement and we
defer to an increase in operating working capital.
2. If negative it represents a source of funds and we refer as
a reduction in operating working capital.
•Analysis of changes in working capital is one of the key
pillars of financial analysis.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
• Capital expenditure lead to a change in what the
company owns without any immediate increase or
decrease in its wealth. They have a direct impact
on cash flow statements .
• The income statement spread the capital
expenditure charge over the entire life of the asset
through depreciation and amortisation.
• So there is no direct link between cash flow
and the net income for the capital expenditure
process.

FROM NET INCOME TO CASH FLOW


• All the non cash charges that do not have an impact
on a company’s cash position are added back to the net
income to show the total financing generated internally
from by the company.
• Cash flow can be calculated by adding certain non
cash charges net of write backs to net income.
• Two approaches:
1) Top down method
2) Bottom up method

+ Depreciation/amortisation /impairment losses
+/- Capital losses/gains on assets disposal
+/- Extraordinary loss/gains
= Cash flow

•Cash flow is influenced by the same accounting

FROM CASH FLOW TO CASH FLOW FROM


OPERATING ACTIVITIES

• To go from cash flow from operating activities, we


need to adjust for the timing differences in cash flow
linked to the operating cycle.

Cash flow from the operating cycle =


Cash flow – Change in operating working capital

OTHER MOVEMENTS IN CASH

•We have now to consider the other movements


linked to the investment and financing cycles.

• The investment cycle includes:

• Capital expenditure
• Disposal of fixed assets
• Capital gains or losses
• Changes in long-term investments

shown as financing requirements, calculated as a
difference between capital expenditure and disposal.

•Net debt reflects the level of indebtedness of a


company

CONCLUSION
• In order to have cash flow we have to start from the
income statement.
• The only difference between operating revenues
and receipts and between operating charges and
payments are timing differences deriving from deferred
payments and deferred charges.
• The change in working capital accounts for the difference
between operating cash flow and the generation of
wealth of within the operating cycle.
• For capital expenditure there is not a direct link
between cash flow and net income.

CONCLUSION

• The cash flow statement does not distinguish between


capital and remuneration related to the source of
financing.
• Cash flow must be adjusted for the change in
operating working capital to arrive at cash flow from
operating activities.

Computing Liquidity Ratios
• Current Ratio = CA / CL
2,256 / 1,995 = 1.13 times
For every dollar of liability, this firm has $1.13 in assets to
pay, higher ratio means the company is cash rich.

Computing Long-term
Solvency Ratios
• Debt/Equity = TD / TE
(5,394 – 2,556) / 2,556 = 1.11 times

For every dollar of equity, this firm has $1.11 dollars of


Debts, the higher this ratio, the less chance the firm should
borrow more money.
