Shareholder Value Concept

 Shareholder value is defined as the part of of a companies


capital that is equity as opposed to long-term debt: number of
outstanding shares times current shareprice

 Primary goal for a company is to enrich its shareholders


(owners) by paying dividends and/or causing the stock price to
increase

 More specifically: shareholder money should be used to earn


a higher return then they could earn themselves by investing
their money in alternative assets (measured by cost of capital)

Shareholder Value:
The concept was „invented“ by Alfred Rappaport

Alfred Rappaport is the Leonard Spacek Professor


Emeritus at Northwestern University’s J.L. Kellogg
Graduate School of Management

His book, “Creating Shareholder Value: The New


Standard for Business Performance”, was published
in 1986

Key insight: competitive advantage and creating share-


holder value both stem from a common economic framework

Need for link between stock market (shareholder value) and
strategy (competitive advantage)

 The shareholder approach: firm exists to maximize the wealth of its owners.
– to replace assets, firm must earn return on capital > cost of capital
– to avoid acquisition, firm must achieve stock-market value > break-up value

 Shareholder Value: Capital market perspective


– prime goal of management to maximize shareholder value
– Need „bridge“ between operations, strategy / competitive advantage and capital
market
 Key questions to link shareholder value and strategy
– which financial metrics bridge demands of products and capital markets?
– what methods can be used to determine if a company has an competitive
advantage that leads to shareholder value creation?
– how are share prices set in the capital market? Which metrics (profit growth; sales
growth etc.) drive stock prices and ultimately shareholder value?

Spread between return on invested capital
(ROIC – WACC) as key metric for shareholder
value creation and competitive advantage
 ROIC – WACC spread key measure of shareholder value creation and compe-
titive advantage
 By definition, a business with a competitive advantage earns returns on
capital in excess of cost of capital
 Positive „spreads“ are reflected in stock price valuation
– businesses earning above-cost-of-capital returns trade at a firm value to invested
capital ratio higher than one
– the higher the ROIC-WACC spread (holding growth constant), the higher the firm
value / invested capital multiple
– in addition to the size of the spread the duration is important (sustainable
competitive advantage)
 ROIC-WACC spreads have to be used with caution as „proxy“ for future
performance
– reflect mainly past performance (invested capital)
– stock markets are primarily forward-looking
– positive Net Present Value as theoretically right metric

Shareholder Value and Stakeholder Value

 Stakeholders in a corporation are individuals and constituencies


(groups) contributing, either voluntarily or involuntarily to its wealth-creating
activities and who are therefore potential beneficiaries and / or risk bearers
of its operations

 „Enlighted“ stakeholder view: capacity of a business to generate


sustainable wealth over time determined by relationships within resource
base. The firm is a coalition of interest groups - it seeks to balance their
different objectives. Economic profit enables firms to satisfy stakeholders

 German model (“Geamtunternehmensinteresse”) versus US model of


corporation (shareholder primacy)

Value Drivers: The value creation process depends
on the translation of strategies and corresponding actions
into value drivers that influence shareholder value
 Financial value drivers are the financial parameters driving ROIC and
WACC:
– operating profit margin
– investments (working capital; fixed capital)
– cost of capital
– others (growth rate of revenues, tax rates)

 Strategic value drivers link the fundamental strategic determinants of


market attractiveness and competitive position to the financial value drivers
: e.g. operating margins are driven be revenue and costs; revenues are
driven by customer mix etc.

 Key is linking financial and strategic value drivers to the operational level
and specific decisions of front-line managers

The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the
opportunity cost for investing in an asset. It is the
sum of the cost of debt and the cost of equity, each
weighted by their share of the overall value of the asset

Revenue growth and shareholder value creation:
“good growth” versus “bad growth”
 Revenue growth in addition to size and lengths of spread as key value driver
– Determines the amount of capital that can be invested at such a spread
– Key is to invest into areas with high incremental ROIC surpassing cost of capital
 “Good growth”
– Growth only creates value when a company generates returns on investment that
exceed cost of capital
– Growth acts as “magnifier”: the more “good growth” investments a company can
create, the more value it will create
 “Bad growth”
– Money is invested in strategies that produce negative “spreads”
– The more investments a company makes in “bad growth”, the more shareholder
value it destroys. Economically unprofitable growth may increase sales and
earnings, but it will always destroy shareholder value

New Assignment and Outlook next Session

 Read slides on session 4 on ILIAS

 Visit company web pages and prepare as team a brief description

– what kind of internal shareholder value creation measure is your company using?

– is your company creating shareholder value? Calculate the market capitalisation


change of your company in the last three years (price per share*number of
shares outstanding today versus three years ago)

 Topics of next session:

– Brief 2 page presentation on each company; bring presentation on USB stick

– Lecture: External environment

Other typical „shareholder value“ problems

 Economic profit ambiguous goal (total profit vs. rate of profit; over what
time period?)

 Adjusted accounting profit as proxy for economic profit (accounting adjust-


ments to economic profit obscure true economic performance and can lead
to manipulations by management and bad choices

 Short-term movements of shareholder value (stock price of shares) driven


by a lot of factors unrelated to real economic value creation by the firm

 Too simplistic performance objecties based an stock price improvements


may lead to wrong incentives for managers

The cost of equity is normally calculated using the Capital Asset
Pricing Model (CAPM) which postulates that investors set their
opportunity cost of capital equal to the returns on risk-free securities,
plus a premium for the systematic risk of the individual stock

Ke = rf + (rm – rf) * ß
