Sample Case Analysis

Pentti Kukkola, Chief Financial Officer of Nokia, the Finnish telecommunications equipmentcompany, was concerned. He and his colleagues were on a flight back from meeting withanalysts in Dallas, and were discussing an issue that had been raised by some analysts, a questionthat he had not been able to answer: namely, what was the company’s cost of equity? Andfollowing that, what was the company’s overall cost of capital? And finally, what was thecompany doing to improve shareholder value by minimizing the cost of financing.

Kukkola had attempted to answer these questions by pointing to the very low interest rates that Nokia had been able to negotiate on its debt. For example, the company had recently succeededin placing a €100 million, 3-year bond at a rate only 105 basis points above the yield onequivalent German government bonds. This sort of answer, however, had not satisfied thequestioners. They wanted a more comprehensive picture of Nokia’s cost of capital.

 Nokia’s financial management had traditionally been conservative, taking the attitude that the

risks should be taken on the business side, not in the corporate treasury department. Still,Kukkola wondered aloud, what kind of capital structure – debt versus equity – should a companyin our line of business have? He determined to look into this further, and to compare Nokia’scapital structure to those of other major European multinationals.

Kukkola tapped on his laptop computer. He decided to gather some information and hand it over to one of his bright assistants. He wrote:

2. Why Do Investors Care About Our Capital Structure?

8/6/2019 Nokia - Sample Case Analysis - 2008

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/nokia-sample-case-analysis-2008 3/17

The optimal debt ratio leads to the minimal cost of capital. If the value of the firm is the net present value of future cash flows, then the lowest cost of capital results in the maximal firmvalue. The cost of capital is higher with both too little and too much debt.

Advantages of debt:- Tax savings. Interest expenses are tax deductible while cash flows to equity (dividends) are not.This benefit increases with the tax rate.- Added discipline by increasing the cost of failure.

Disadvantages of debt:

- Higher expected bankruptcy cost (probability of bankruptcy times the cost). The probability of default is greater for firms that have volatile cash flows.- Agency costs. Debt exposes the firm to the possibility of conflicts between stock- and bondholders over investment, financing, and dividend decisions. The covenants that bondholders

write into bond agreements to protect themselves against expropriation cost the firm in bothmonitoring costs and lost flexibility.- Loss of flexibility. This is more likely to be a problem for firms that have substantial andunpredictable investment opportunities.

The following factors have an influence on the optimal debt ratio, i.e. they determine

whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of taking on debt.

Tax rate

It has a direct influence on tax savings. If the tax rate is high, the optimal debt ratio is alsohigher, because the tax savings increase by taking on more debt (until the point when the cost of debt gets too high).

The ability to pay interest

as reflected in the EBITA/Firm value ratio (pretax returns on the firm) or the interest coverageratio. If the company is able to pay interest easily (high coverage ratio), it can take on more debt.

Variance in operating income

This is shown in the beta reflecting the default risk. The beta increases with higher debt ratiosand at the same time raises the cost of equity. The cost of equity increases with higher debtrates. The variance also influences the bond rating - reflecting the interest rate, probability of  bankruptcy and estimated cost of bankruptcy and therefore also the flexibility for the future. Thehigher the probability and cost of bankruptcy, the less the optimal debt.

Default spreads

of different ratings classes decrease the optimal debt ratio as they tend to increase duringrecessions (penalizing companies that borrow money) or increase the ratio as they go down .

Firm projects

Does the company need much flexibility in the future? if so, the optimal debt ratio is lower toallow for future borrowings. Firms operating in businesses where projects earn substantiallyhigher returns than their hurdle rate should value flexibility more than those that operate in stable businesses where excess returns are small.

3. What Is Our Cost Of Debt Financing?

Cost of Debt --Assumption:

The mobile phone portion of Nokia’s business is both young and very dynamic; thus one couldargue it makes little sense to apply a long-term analysis to both Nokia’s historical data andforward debt estimation. Although Nokia has issued some bonds that are openly documented intheir annual report, they are nominated among others in Finish Markka, German Deutschmarksand British Pounds.

We use the A-1 short-term debt rating that the company has from S & P. (AnnualReport 1998) with spread of 1.25 % over the T bond rate.

Using the risk free rate of 5.7% for 1-Year (short term) Government bond (H.15Daily Update) gives a pre tax cost of borrowing of 6.95 % which we shall call 7.0 %.

After Tax cost of Debt

The tax rate in Finland where Nokia pays two thirds of its taxes is 28 %. We shallround up the marginal tax rate to 30 percent to allow for the tax differentials in other countries where Nokia is also liable for tax.

After Tax cost of debt = 0.07 (1 – 0.30) = 4.9 %

 Note: Nokia’s effective tax rate over the last five years was 24.57 %. For the last quarter it was30.02: Source www.marketguide.com. Detailed financial statistics are included in the appendix tothis report.

4. What Is Our Cost Of Equity Financing?

The Capital Asset Pricing Model is used to calculate the cost of equity.

R  j = R  f  + β (R m-R  f ) = R  f (1-β ) + β R m

Using historical data collected from www.yahoo.com, Nokia stock returns (R  j) are regressed againstreturns on the Standard and Poor’s 500 index (R m).

Regression equation R  j = a + β R m

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/nokia-sample-case-analysis-2008 5/17

Where the slope b corresponds to the stocks β5 Year Monthly Return

Alpha (a) = 2.4% R Square = 33.69 Standard Error = 0.384Beta (b) = 1.993 No of points = 56

Looking at the intercept a of the

regression compared to R f (1-β  ) givesus a measure of the Nokia’s stocks performance relative to the CAPM.Assuming a monthly risk free rate ( R f )equal to 0.4 %

a - R f (1-β  ) = 2.8%

This suggests that Nokia performed

2.8% better on a monthly basis and 39.3% on an annual basis, compared tomonthly expectations generated using the CAPM between April 1995 and November 1999.

The value R2 provides an estimate of the proportion of the risk that can be attributed to marketrisk and the proportion that can be attributed to the firm risk. In the case of Nokia, 33.69 % of therisk (variance) comes from market sources (interest rate risk, inflation risk, etc.). The remaining portion (100 – 33.69 = 66.31% ) can be attributed to the firm specific risk, which is diversifiableand therefore not rewarded in the CAPM.

The standard error of the b estimate equals 0.384. Under the assumption of a normal distribution,

the true β  for Nokia could range from 1.993-0.384=1.609 to 1.993+0.384=2.377 with 67%confidence and from 1.993-

2*0.384=1.225 to 1.993+2*0.384

=2.761 with 95% confidence.

2 Year Weekly Return

A second regression was madeusing weekly data over a period of two years

Alpha = 1.66Beta = 1.62R Squared = 46.38 No. of points = 110

This reduction of the Beta from1.99 to 1.62 when looking at the last two years compared with the last five years could beattributed to the fact that Nokia has grown considerably. This generally implies less risk.

Comment:

Selecting the industry category for the mobile phone area of business proved difficult. We feel

that comparison to well followed American equities are not valid for several reasons. The market penetration for mobiles phones is significantly higher in Europe and Asia, especially for non- business users, where fashion plays an important role. Furthermore, the fierce competition between mobile phone operators has created the unusual scenario of one industry heavilysubsidizing another. In order to attract customers, operators discount heavily, in many casescompletely, the cost of a new mobile telephone. This allows customers to replace their handsetsfar more frequently than would normally be the case. We would argue that his lends the businesssome unusual market characteristics, which are not adequately reflected in any of the listsgenerated by American research bodies.

Using an expected risk premium of stocks over T-bonds of 5.5 % (based on the geometric mean):

The cost of capital is the weighted average cost of equity, debt and preferred stock:

4.9 (0.32) + 17.85 (74.4) + 0.00034 (25.1) = 13.2 %

The above figures were calculated using the 1998 annual report and looking at interest bearinglong term debt

7. Could We Lower The Cost Of Capital By Changing Our Capital Structure?

The input numbers for the analyses have been taken from the 1998 annual report. Nokia should 

take on more debt (up to 20 %) according to the two calculations below.

8. Would More Debt Create Unnecessary Risk?

The value of Nokia would be the highest with a debt ratio of 20 %, but this would lead to asignificantly worse rating (BB). In order to remain with the same ranking, Nokia could take adebt ratio of 10 %, or a little more, resulting in only a slightly smaller firm value than with the

optimal debt ratio of 20 %. Nokia’s reason for a low debt ratio is twofold. They want to maintaintheir good bond rating and allow for high flexibility to invest in potential projects with high thanexpected returns.

9. What Do Other Companies Do?

An Industry Comparison

The following numbers have been taken from Morningstar Quicktake Reports based on the thirdquarter of 1999. Since we used the annual report of 1998 throughout this case study, Nokia’snumbers as of September 1999 are also shown to allow for an up-to-date direct comparison.

(Other sources for information and analysis like these include, www.Moneycentral.msn.com,www.finance.yahoo.com, www.marketguide.com, www.zacks.com )

The comparison shows that Nokia has considerably less long-term liabilities than Ericsson or Motorola, whereas the short-term liabilities are more comparable but exceeding the competitors’.

Comparison with companies of different industries:

 Nokia’s long-term debt seems extremely low also compared to other companies of differentsectors like Novartis (17.8 %) and IBM (32.5 %).
