Long-Term Financial Planning 
Financial plans establish a firms financial goals 
and provide a benchmark for evaluating 
18-2 
performance. 
This chapter analyzes long-term financial plans 
and provides a discussion of growth.
Financial Planning 
Firms plan for both the short term and the long 
18-3 
term. 
Planning Horizon 
 Short-term planning: Plans for the next 12 months. 
 Long-term planning: Plans that exceed the next 12 
months.
Long-Term Planning 
18-4 
 Long-term planning focuses on: 
 Long-term financial goals 
 Investments required to meet these goals 
 Financing that must be obtained 
 Dividend policies 
 Appropriate debt ratios
Focus on the Big Picture 
Financial plans combine the planning of managers at every 
level, but they also reflect senior managements strategic 
18-5 
plans. 
Firms dont plan on a project-by-project basis. 
Small projects are aggregated and treated as one large 
project.

Financial Planning Models 
Financial planning models help planners explore the 
consequences of alternative strategies. 
The effects of a change in sales on working capital will be seen 
in which section of a financial plan? 
18-7
Percentage of Sales Models 
18-8 
 Percentage of Sales Models 
 Planning model in which sales forecasts are the driving 
variables and most other variables are proportional to 
sales. 
Why are they useful? 
 Balancing Item 
 Variable that adjusts to maintain the consistency of a 
financial plan.
Percentage of Sales Models: 
18-9 
Example 
A forecast using a percentage of sales model expects sales to increase 
by 12% annually over the next five years. If costs are proportional to 
sales at 80%, and last year's sales were $1,000, what is the projected 
net income in year 5? 
 Projected sales in year 5: 
 Projected COGS in year 5:
Planning Model: Example 
Assume this years financial statements are as follows: 
Calculate pro forma statements 
for 2012, assuming: 
1.Sales and operating costs are 
expected to grow 10%. 
2.Interest rates will remain 
constant. 
3.The firm will continue to pay 
2/3 earnings in dividends. 
4.The firm will need 10% more 
fixed assets and net working 
capital next year to support the 
higher sales volume.

Planning Model: Example 
2,200 10% higher 
1,980 10% higher 
220 10% higher 
40 Unchanged 
180 EBIT - Interest

108 EBIT  Interest - Taxes 
72 2/3 Net Income 
36 Net Income - Dividends 
220 10% higher 
880 10% higher 
1,100 10% higher 
400 Temporarily Fixed 
636 Increased by retained 
earnings 
1,036 Debt + Equity 
64 Balancing Required External Financing Item (1,100  1,036) 
18-11
Planning Model: Example 
Assuming the firm uses debt as its balancing item, the 2nd 
round pro forma balance sheet will look like this: 
Notice how the statement once again balances after use of 
18-12 
the plug item.
Planning Model Limits 
18-13 
 Pitfalls in Model Design 
 Percentage of Sales Models Assumptions 
Fixed assets arent added in small increments
Planning Model Limits 
 Planning models do not tell which plan is best 
 Models can tell how much money the firm 
must raise to fund its planned growth, but not 
whether that growth contributes to 
shareholder value. 
18-14
External Financing and Growth 
18-15
External Financing and Growth 
Example: 
A firms financial planners have projected a growth rate of 12% for the 
coming year. Currently, it has assets of $8,000,000 and retained 
earnings of $480,000. How much external financing will the firm need? 
18-16 
-
Internal Growth Rate 
18-17
Internal Growth Rate: Example 
What is the maximum internal growth rate consistent with not requiring 
external funding for a firm reporting net income of $850,000, a dividend 
payout ratio of 35%, and total assets of $14 million? 
18-18
Sustainable Growth Rate 
The steady rate at which a firm can grow without 
changing leverage. 
How is the sustainable growth rate different from the 
18-19 
internal growth rate?
Sustainable Growth Rate: 
18-20 
Example 
Calculate the rate at which a firm can grow without changing its leverage if 
its payout ratio is 35%; equity outstanding at the beginning of the year is 
$8,000,000; and its net income for the year is $1,500,000.

Editor's Notes

  • #2: Chapter 18 Learning Objectives Describe the contents and uses of a financial plan. Construct a simple financial planning model. Estimate the effect of growth on the need for external financing.
  • #3: Chapter 18 Outline Financial Planning Long-term vs. Short-term Planning Why Plan? 3 Reasons for Financial Planning Financial Planning Models Percentage of Sales Models Planning Model Limits Common Pitfalls External Financing and Growth Internal Growth Rate Sustainable Growth Rate
  • #4: Short-term planning: Plans for the next 12 months. Long-term planning: Plans for greater than 12 months and beyond. Planning Horizon Time horizon for a financial plan. A typical planning horizon for long-term plans is 5 years.
  • #7: Contingency Planning: Financial plans allow managers to formulate quick responses to inevitable surprises. Considering Options: Financial plans often include plans to enter new markets for mere strategic reasons, not due to an immediate positive NPV Forcing Consistency: Financial plans force managers at all levels to adhere to the same standards of measure and success metrics. Note: While financial models ensure consistency between growth assumptions and financing plans, they do not identify the best financing plan.
  • #8: Pro Formas Projected or forecast financial statements.
  • #9: Percentage of Sales Model Planning model in which sales forecasts are the driving variables and most other variables are proportional to sales. Balancing Item Variable that adjusts to maintain the consistency of a financial plan. Also called a plug item. Example: Suppose a firm commits to a dividend of $100 and raises any extra money it needs by an issue of debt. In this case, debt is the balancing item.
  • #12: Note: The assets and liabilities do not equal in the first round pro forma statement, therefore we must use a plug item.
  • #14: Many models neglect to account for: Depreciation Short-term debt Changes in Leverage Percentage of Sales Models have unrealistic assumptions: In reality assets may not be proportional to sales % of sales models dont adequately account for increases in fixed assets
  • #16: As the firms projected growth rate increases, more funds are needed to pay for the necessary investments. Therefore, the line is upward-sloping. For high rates of growth the firm must issue new securities to pay for new investments. Where the sloping line crosses the horizontal axis, external financing is zero; the firm is growing as fast as possible without resorting to new security issues. This is called the internal growth rate.
  • #20: Sustainable Growth Rate Steady rate at which a firm can grow without changing leverage.
