  • FCFF and FCFE Credits to Bojan Radojicic  follow him for more finance insights! ~~~~~~~~~ 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚: FCFF and FCFE are both critical metrics used in financial analysis and valuation, but they serve different purposes and offer unique insights. Here's a summarized comparison of their key characteristics: 𝗙𝗖𝗙𝗙 (𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗺) 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: FCFF represents the cash flow available for distribution to both equity and debt holders of the company, after accounting for cash operating expenses and capital expenditures. 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Typically calculated by adjusting operating EBIT for non-cash expenses, fixed and working capital investments. 𝗨𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲: Used in Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation to calculate the enterprise value, representing the total value of the firm. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲: Paired with the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) in DCF valuation, reflecting the cost of all sources of capital in the company’s capital structure. 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲: Often preferred by management in highly leveraged companies as it excludes the impact of leverage, offering a broader view of the firm’s financial health. 𝗙𝗖𝗙𝗘 (𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆) 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: FCFE measures the discretionary cash flow available to equity holders only, after meeting all financial obligations and capital requirements. 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Obtained by adjusting post-tax operating EBIT for non-cash expenses, interest expenses, capital investments, and net debt repayments. 𝗨𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲: Utilized in DCF valuation to compute the equity value, focusing on the value available to equity shareholders. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲: In DCF, paired with the cost of equity, as it concerns the cash flows available to equity shareholders exclusively. 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲: Preferred by analysts for providing a clearer picture of the financial health from an equity holder's viewpoint, as it includes the impact of leverage. ~~~~~~~~~ Want this visual in PDF?
