Reference for Economic moats article discussed in class on Tuesday: Pat

Guide to Building Wealth and Winning in the Market’, Chapter 3, pp.21-37,
Hoboken: Wiley, available as EBook in Swinburne library.
Marking Criteria: Marking Criteria for case study 1 is provided below.
Explanation of Marking Criteria (Maximum marks = 15)
• Company background and presentation of salient information relevant for
valuation (3 marks). No marks will be awarded for a collection of
information on the firm. Remember, the exercise is intended to develop
the cornerstones for estimating important valuation inputs such as risk,
return potential and growth estimates. So, merely collecting the company
background without an analysis in terms of risk, return and growth is
irrelevant. 3 year financial data of the firm must be attached as appendix
• Analysis of competitive advantages, assumptions and justification of the
growth phases (5 marks). You may use Porter’s analysis. Refer to the
additional reading provided to you. You may also use the concept of
economic moats to provide additional perspective to the issues.
• Excel spreadsheet with financial data from annual reports, Dupont
analysis and basic 5-category ratios with annotations on the formula used
(5 marks).
• Structure, coherence, clarity and parsimony (2 marks). No marks will be
awarded for voluminous material that is quoted from company websites
and other documents. Critical analysis of the data is required.
Case Study 2 due on Thursday October 30th by 9 pm
Title: Financial Statement Analysis and Adjustments: Submission of Excel
Spreadsheet and written report, worth 15%:
Submission:
1. Email copy of one Excel file: One member from each group to email me a
copy of the Excel file. Please cc your team members.
2. Email one A4 size Word document of written report. The word count
applies only to the written report.
3. Hard copy of Word document with signed assignment cover sheet
The Excel spreadsheet should present all the major financial statements that
have been used for the purposes of valuation. Ideally, a 3 year period will suffice,
but if necessary you may include further information.
The Excel report should clearly show all calculations and annotations, such that a
person viewing the file can see the data used in calculation of values in cells on
the formula bar.
Wherever this level of detail is not possible, the spreadsheet should contain a
note on the same page explaining the missing information. The objective of this
assessment is to assess your ability to diligently analyse the crucial inputs in
valuation, keeping in mind the varying degrees of the sensitivity of the inputs to
the final value. At the end of this detailed review, you will have in your
possession, values for all variables on the valuation template.
Use one page for one variable on the same Excel file. Do not use separate Excel
files. The idea is to be able to have one consolidated file.
The value of the share is justified through a written report [Word document] in a
maximum of 300 words (+/- 5 %).
Marking Criteria: Marking Criteria for case study 2 is provided below.
Marking Criteria (Maximum marks = 15)
• Adjusted financial statements presented with justifications (the excel
sheets must be annotated and linked to highlight the calculations) (6
marks)
• Analysis of beta (including all inputs and methods), length of high growth
period, and reinvestment rate at the minimum should be thoroughly
analysed and the final value or range of values should be presented
concisely. (6 marks)
• 300 word report on Value of the Share (3 marks)
