CHAPTER 13

Managing for Shareholder Value

CHAPTER ORIENTATION

This chapter identifies methods to measure firm value and techniques that can be employedto assure management and the firm’s board of directors make decisions that increase thevalue of the firm. Increases in firm value lead to increases in stock value, which aligns withthe firm’s goal of maximizing shareholder wealth. Measures such as free-cash flow

valuation, market value added, and economic value added can be used to evaluate the firm’s performance. Management of the firm can be provided compensation incentives that guidetheir decisions toward increasing the value of the firm.

CHAPTER OUTLINE

I. Top Creators of Shareholder Wealth

A. Market Value Added (MVA) measures wealth created by the firm

1. MVA = Firm value – invested capital

2. Firm value = market value of firm’s outstanding debt and equitysecurities

3. Invested capital = total funds invested in the firm

B. Value creation results from two activities:

1. Identifying performance measures linked to value creation that areunder management’s control

2. Designing incentives to encourage employees to base decisions onthese performance metrics.

II. Business Valuation

A. Accounting model

1. Focuses on firm’s earnings

2. Assumes increases (decreases) in earnings will lead directly to increases(decreases) in stock price based on the price-earnings relationship

3. Decreases in current earnings may result in increases in future cashflows, which may increase firm value and stock price.

V. Paying for Performance

A. Agency problems arise when firm ownership and management are separate.

B. Linking EVA measures to employee compensation encourages employees toact on behalf of owners

C. Compensation Policy

1. Three components of compensation are base pay, bonus, and long-term compensation

2. The mix of base pay and performance-based pay is important inattracting quality employees and achieving target performancemeasures.

3. Percentage of total compensation that is ‘at-risk’ typically increaseswith employee rank.

4. Incentive pay should be linked to achieving target performancemeasures.

a. Incentive pay can be calculated as

=

ePerformancTarget

ePerformancActual

Payof Fraction

PayBase

PayIncentive

b. Bounded incentive pay rewards employees only when aminimum threshold of performance is achieved and caps the bonus payout at a maximum level of performance.

c. Unbounded incentive pay has no upper or lower bonus limits.

5. Incentive pay can be paid in cash, stock, or a combination of cash andstock.

a. Stock rewards employees for current and future performance.

b. Stock compensation may be the majority of CEO and Board of Directors’ pay.

ANSWERS TO

END-OF-CHAPTER QUESTIONS

13-1. The accounting model of equity evaluation focuses on reported earnings inconjunction with the market’s valuation of those earnings as reflected in the price-earnings ratio. For example, if the price-earnings ratio is 20 then a dollar increase inearnings per share should create $20 in additional equity value per share. Similarly,a one-dollar loss in earnings per share may lead to a drop of $20 in share value.

• Improve maintenance of existing plant and equipment to improve

operating time, which reduces the need for additional plant and

equipment.

13-4. Economic Value Added (EVA) measures the change in firm value over a specific period of time. Managers of a firm use EVA to evaluate the performance of the firmover specific intervals of time, usually one year. EVA for a particular year (e.g., year t ) is defined as follows:

EVA is related to MVA in the following way: MVA is the present value of all future

EVAs over the life of the firm. Thus, managing the firm in ways that increase EVAwill generally lead to a higher MVA.

13-5. Fundamental components of a firm’s compensation program:

A. Base pay is the fixed salary component of compensation.

B. Bonus payment. This is generally a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual cash payment that is dependent upon firm performance compared to targets set atthe beginning of the period. EVA provides one such performance measurethat can be used in this regard.

C. Long-term compensation. This consists of stock options and grants that arealso made periodically to employees. This type of compensation is the most

direct method available to the firm to align the interests of the firm’semployees with those of its shareholders.

Note that both bonus and long-term compensation are at-risk in that they are bothdependent upon performance of the individual and the firm. We often use the termincentive or performance-based compensation to describe this at-risk component of managerial compensation.

13-6. The four basic issues that every firm’s compensation program must address are:

A. How much to pay for a particular job

B. The portion of the total compensation package should be in base salary andthe portion should be incentive based

C. How to link incentive pay to performance

D. The portion of the incentive pay to be paid as a cash bonus and the portion to be paid in long-term (equity) compensation

Issue #1: How much to pay?

How much to pay for a particular job is dictated by market forces. This means that a firmmust be constantly comparing its pay scales with the labor market because the firm willonly be able to hire good employees where it offers a competitive level of total

80



compensation. The size of the total compensation package may determine whereemployees go to work, but the mix of base pay and performance based pay willdetermine how hard they will work.

Issue #2: Base pay versus at-risk or incentive compensation

Usually a firm's highest-ranking employees generally have a larger fraction of their total compensation “at-risk” and the fraction declines with the employee's rank in thefirm. Most firms base the at-risk fraction of an employee’s compensation on either salary level or responsibilities. This often mirrors the responsibilities of the firm’stop managers and their ability to control firm performance.

Issue #3: Linking incentive compensation to performance

The third issue in designing a compensation program relates to choosing a functionalrelationship between performance and pay for the incentive portion of thecompensation package. The basic formula for specifying this relationship is:

=

ePerformancTarget

ePerformancActual

Risk -at

Payof

Fraction

Pay

Base

Pay

Incentive

There are two types of incentive compensation plans based on the above formula.The first type is called unbounded incentive compensation plan. This means in theabove equation there are no limits specified as to the maximum or minimum levelsof incentive pay that can be earned.

The other type is called bounded incentive compensation plan. This system providesfor a minimum or threshold level of performance (in relation to the target level) before the incentive plan kicks in, and a maximum level of performance (again inrelation to the target) above which no incentive pay is rewarded. Consequently,incentive compensation is only paid for performance levels that fall within the

minimum and maximum levels.

Issue #4: Paying with a cash bonus versus equity

A firm can pay its compensation plan in cash, stock or some mixture of the two. If the firm chooses stock then the employees are rewarded for current performance andare also provided with a long-term incentive to improve performance. Equity-basedcompensation is an important and valuable tool in a firm’s compensation package.

SOLUTION TO

INTEGRATIVE PROBLEM

A. From the financial statements of RealNetworks over the 1996-98 period we can tellthat it did not earn profit. Indeed, it suffered increasing losses in every year, and in1998, the firm lost over $20 million.

B. The invested capital for RealNetworks at the end of 1998 should be the sum of thecurrent figure of total assets less noninterest-bearing liabilities in its balance sheetand part of the marketing and R&D expenditure it paid but will generate value infuture years.

Charging the full marketing and R&D expenditures against revenues in the year inwhich the expenditures are made will distort total assets as an indication of the firm’sinvested capital. The investment in marketing and R&D does not create value onlyfor the year it is made. Actually, it will bring benefits for the company in severalfuture years. Therefore, putting the whole amount in the income statement for oneyear cannot properly reveal the company’s performance for that year because therevenue the company created only related to a part of the total investment inmarketing and R&D.

EVA

Using the GAAP financial reports of 1998, assuming that the invested capital equalstotal assets – accounts payable – accrued expenses – other current liabilities – deferred revenue, and weighted average cost of capital is 20%, we get the followingresult:

EVA1998 = (-20840) – (20% x 78,865) = -36,613

However, as we discussed in part B, NOPAT is understated since we put the entiremarketing and R&D expenditure for 1998 in the GAAP accounting earnings sheetfor that year. Invested capital is also understated for the same reason. If we amortizethe marketing and R&D expenditures over several years, during which it willgenerate value, our EVA result will be positive.
