Data and Analysis of Balkrishna

Data Analysis of Amtek Auto
Synopsis:
After analyzing trends of WACC for various companies, we can say that CAPM
reflects the market trends better than the other models as the company’s returns
are calculated using stock beta and expected market returns, while WACC calculated
using the EPR model follows the EPS trend and WACC calculated using the Gordon’s
model and waltar model follows the DPS trend.
Objective
To analyze trends in Weighted Average Cost of Capital of chosen pharmaceutical companies
by using different methods for calculating of Cost of Equity.
Appropriateness of Methodology
Cost of Debt:
Cost of debt (long term loans – secured and unsecured) was calculated using the data
available but Cost of Debt (Debentures and Bonds) could not be done since most of the
companies have not issued any debentures and Bonds and even if they have issued it was not
possible to find the exact data to calculate its cost for the same.
Debt financing is done through two ways (i) Loans and (ii) Issue of debentures. When a
company borrows it uses financial leverage; so that it can increase its profitability but at the
same time it is exposed to financial risk. In general cost of debt is less than cost of equity.
The following methodology describes how cost of debt was arrived at i.e. the methodology
used and various parameters involved.
Methodology and Parameters involved in calculating Cost of Debt (Kt)
Identified average total debt (long term loans including both secured and unsecured
loans) from company’s balance sheets for a period of 5 years.
Average total Debt = (Total debt for current year + Total debt for
previous year) / 2
Though corporate tax rate applicable to Corporate is around 33% with surcharges and
education cress, to provide an exact picture of tax rate effective tax rate is used by
considering any tax benefits availed.
Nominal interest rate on loans is calculated by dividing Total Interest paid upon Average
Total Debt.
Nominal Interest rate (I) = Interest Paid / Average Total Debt
Given the Nominal Interest rate and effective tax rate, Cost of Debt (K t) is calculated
using below formula:
Kt = I * (1-T)
Cost of Equity:
Cost of Equity is calculated using Gordon, Earnings Price Ratio and CAPM models for
calculating Cost of Equity. Cost of equity is more challenging to calculate as equity does not
pay a set return to its investors. Similar to the cost of debt, the cost of equity is broadly
defined as the risk weighted expected return required by the investors. The following methods
were used to calculate cost of equity.
1. Gordon’s Model:
Ke = (D0*(1 + g)/P0) + g
Here,
Ke = Cost of Equity
D0 = Dividend per share paid by the company for the current year (Rs.)
g = Annual growth rate in dividends and is calculated using geometric mean of
growth in dividends in the past years or by multiplying retention ratio with ROE
P0 = Current market price of the shares (Rs.)
2. Earnings – Price Ratio Approach:
Ke = E0*(1 + g) / P0
Here,
Ke = Cost of Equity
E0 = EPS for the current year (Rs.)
P0 = Current market price of the shares (Rs.)
3. CAPM approach:
Ri = Rf + βi (Rm – Rf)
Here,
Ri = Cost of Equity
Rf = Risk free rate
Rm = Market return
βi = Beta of the return of company with respect to market returns
βi = βU + βL
βU =Unlevered Beta
βL =levered Beta
βL = βU /(1+D/E)
D=Total Debt
E=Total Equity
Weighted average Cost of Capital:
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of a firm refers to how much on an average it
costs a firm to raise money. The importance of the WACC is in its relation to the evaluation of
projects.
The firm’s WACC is the cost of capital for the firm’s mixture of debt and stock in its capital
structure.
WACC = wd(cost of debt) + ws(cost of equity/retained earnings) + wp(cost of
preference stock)
Here,
wd = weight of debt in the firm’s capital structure
ws = weight of share capital
wp = weight of preference share capital

Inference•
3 types of firms: Growth firms (r > k), Normal firm (r = k) & Declining firm (r < k)
•
Growth firm: Share price increases with decrease in payout ratio. So optimal payout
ratio: Nil
From the Waltar model and Gordon Model we can see that company is retaining the capital for
capital investment as its maximum ability to pay dividends and earnings based on the share
price is high and its paying a part of it on the basis of payout ratio.
As its a profit making company it is hopeful that it will keep giving increasing dividends to its
shareholders in the coming times.
At the same time it can issue bonus shares to the shareholders to retain their faith or go for a
stock split so that actual share price will decrease and it will allow them to increase their
shareholders numbers.
Inference:
There is very little different between Expected WACC calculated using book value and
calculated using market value as the Debt to equity is 1% i.e. 0.001:0.9 9and debt taken by
the company has been continuously decreasing. Debt to equity ratio was 0.05:0.95 in March
2009 and it reduced to almost 0.01:0.99 in 2014. As a result the WACC calculated is almost
equal to cost of equity for the last few years.
WACC using Gordon Growth model has been continuously decreasing(Except the year 2011)
due to reduction in growth rate as a result of decrease in ROE as growth rates are calculated
by multiplying Retention Ratio with ROE.
WACC calculated using CAPM model is a function of market risk premium and as the market
has been increasing since past decade and beta being almost constant for Divis Laboratories,
the cost of equity has been increasing during the last few years for the company.

Growth firm: Share price increases with decrease in payout ratio. So optimal payout ratio: Nil
From the Waltar model and Gordon Model we can see that company is retaining the capital for capital
investment as its maximum ability to pay dividends and earnings based on the share price is high and its
paying a part of it on the basis of pay-out ratio.
As it’s a profit making company it is inferred to be able to provide dividends in future to its shareholders.
Systematic risk or market risk is the levered beta used in CAPM calculation. In Gordon model we use
constant dividend growth model to estimate cost of equity. The future earning of company is decided by past
dividends. Also for this company dividends announced is not uniform every year. Hence considering Gordon
Model for computing cost of equity is not appropriate. Also Earnings Price Model considers past earnings of
company, hence it may not give accurate projected returns for this company. Hence this model is least
preferred.
At the same time it can issue bonus shares to the shareholders to retain their faith or go for a stock split so
that actual share price will decrease and it will allow them to increase their shareholders numbers.
There is very little difference between Expected WACC calculated using book value and
calculated using market value as the Debt to equity is 0.7105 and debt taken by the company
has been continuously increasing.
WACC using Gordon Growth model has been continuously decreasing(Except the year 2011)

Estimating Risk and Return:
Daily closing price of the stock and BSE indx (S&P BSE AUTO) the past 5 years from (04/01/10
to 31/12/14 ) were taken from BSE India website. The same was used for calculation of
average annual return, average annual risk and stock’s beta (β). (detail excel sheet attached)

Market Return
Amtek Auto Risk
Market Risk

44.97%
19.81%
We observe from the above table that the returns offered by Amtek stock is significantly lower
than the returns offered by Market and similarly Risk offered by Amtek stock is significantly
Higher than the returns offered by Market. The stock is not behaving as per the basic principle
that the amount of risk taken should be directly proportional to the end return. Hence if the
risk appetite of the investor is high, Amtek Auto is not offering fair chance to earn equivalent
high returns.
Estimating Cost of Capital:
Data required in calculation of cost of capital is taken from the last 4 year annual reports of
the firm, downloaded from the company’s website. Data includes Shareholder’s Equity, Debt,
Interest expense, Tax paid, Dividend paid and EPS.
Average Cost of Equity arrived by various methods is
Cost of Equity (Avg of 5
yrs)
CAPM
Gordon
P/E multiple
16.18%
5.79%
19.63 %
CAPM is considered superior to Gordon and P/E method because it uses the risk-return
relationship to arrive at the cost of equity. It brings together systematic risk and return for the
stock, and hence is widely used and accepted for financial investment decisions. Gordon’s
model uses constant dividend growth to estimate the cost of equity. This model is backward
looking as future growth is calculated based on past dividends. Also, in practical scenarios, as
dividend growth various every year for a firm, the model is not accurate in arriving at the cost
of capital. P/E multiple is considered to be least accurate method among the 3. The perceived
growth in the EPS of next year might vary with each individual investor. Hence it is rarely used
for investing decisions.
Therefore, I have used Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) method for calculation of WACC.
Average Wt of Debt = 55.64%
Average Wt of Equity = 45.36%
Weighted Average Cost of Capital, WACC = 9.96%

Inference:
•
3 types of firms: Growth firms (r > k), Normal firm (r = k) & Declining firm (r < k)
•
Growth firm: Share price increases with decrease in payout ratio.
From Gordon Model we can see that company is retaining the capital for capital investment as its
maximum ability to pay dividends and earnings based on the share price is high and it’s paying a part
of it on the basis of pay-out ratio.
As it’s a profit making company it is inferred to be able to provide dividends in future to its shareholders.
Systematic risk or market risk is the levered beta used in CAPM calculation. In Gordon model we use
constant dividend growth model to estimate cost of equity. The future earning of company is decided by past
dividends. Also for this company dividends announced is not uniform every year. Hence considering Gordon
Model for computing cost of equity is not appropriate. Also Earnings Price Model considers past earnings of
company, hence it may not give accurate projected returns for this company. Hence this model is least
preferred.
At the same time it can issue bonus shares to the shareholders to retain their faith or go for a stock split so
that actual share price will decrease and it will allow them to increase their shareholders numbers.
