ABSTRACT

The value-based management performance measure EVA introduced by Stern Stewart &

Co. is an incarnation of the underlying residual income (RI) concept. The concept is

evaluated and compared with traditional profitability measures within a controlled

simulation framework. It is observed that EVA is very sensitive to its cost of equity

component, but it is unexpectedly insensitive to its cost of debt component under regular

conditions. EVA and its variability are observed to be strongly affected by the firm's

growth policies because of leverage effects. EVA is observed to be much more unstable

than the traditional return on investment and directly related to the return on equity

measure. Methodologically, the paper demonstrates the advantages of using a controlled

simulation approach in financial research.

The EVA is computed of 20 companies of the NIFTY for a period of 5 years beginning

from FY 2001-02 to FY 2005-06. EVA is equal to NOPAT (Net Operating Profit) minus

WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital). NOPAT is EBIT after taxes. Cost of equity

is calculated using CAPM Model. Beta is calculated based on monthly high low average

of past three years.

From the study it is observed that there is no strong pattern of wealth created by

companies. EVA of different companies varies year to year based on its overall cost of

capital and cost of equity is more influential factor. It is also found that EVA and market

price has no good relation for the sample companies. And thus we can say that investors

do not consider EVA for the investment decision.

INTRODUCTION

With increasing pressure on firms to deliver shareholder value, there has been a renewed

emphasis on devising measures of corporate financial performance and incentivecompensation plans that encourage managers to increase shareholder wealth. One

professedly recent innovation in the field of internal and external performance

measurement is a trade-marked variant of residual income known as economic value-

added (EVA).

Economic Value Added (EVA) is a value-based framework that provides a unique insight

into value creation and unites the finance theory with the competitive strategy

framework. Economic Value Added (EVA) is a relatively new concept in the area of

financial management. It is the financial performance measure that comes closest than

any other to capture the true economic profit of a firm. EVA is the performance measure

most directly linked to the creation of shareholder wealth over time. It is a value-based

framework that provides a unique insight into value creation and unites the finance theory

with the competitive strategy framework. The financial concept underlying EVA was

originally propagated by Adam Smith, who proclaimed that the social mission of an

individual enterprise is to maximize the value of shareholders. Further contributions were

made by Merton Miller and Stern Stewart.

Stern Stewart developed EVA to help managers incorporate two basic principles of

finance into their decision making: One, the primary objective of maximizing the wealth

of its shareholders; and two, accepting that the value of a company depends on the extent

to which investors expect future profits to exceed or fall short of the cost of capital.

EVA is the net operating profit minus an appropriate charge for the opportunity cost of

all capital invested in an enterprise. Hence, EVA is an estimate of true economic profit,

or the amount by which earnings exceed or fall short of the required minimum rate of

return those shareholders and lenders could get by investing in other securities of

comparable risk. Jenson (1986) argues that managers do not like to disburse free cash to

investors even when no positive present value project is available.

Capital charge is the most important characteristic of EVA. Under conventional

accounting, most companies seem profitable while, in fact, they may not be. By taking all


10/44



capital costs into account, including the cost of equity, EVA shows the amount of wealth

in rupee a business has created or destroyed in each reporting period. In other words,

EVA is the profit as defined by the shareholders.

A sustained increase in EVA will bring an increase in the market value of a company.

EVA has the advantage of being conceptually simple and easy to explain, since it starts

with familiar operating profits and deducts a charge for the capital invested in the

company. By assessing a charge for using capital, EVA makes managers care about

managing assets as well as income and helps them properly assess the trade-offs between

the two.

Above all, EVA helps in overcoming the ambiguity of financial goals. Most companies

use a plethora of measures to express their financial goals and objectives. Strategic plans

often are based on growth in revenue or market share. Companies usually evaluate

individual products or lines of business on the basis of gross margins. Business units may

be evaluated in terms of return on assets.

Finance departments usually analyze capital investments in terms of the net present

value, but weigh prospective acquisitions against the likely contribution to the earnings

growth. The result of the inconsistent standards, goals and terminology usually results in

cohesive planning, operating strategy and decision making. EVA eliminates this

perplexity by using a single financial measure that links decision making with a common

focus.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Investors who have a variety of options will evaluate the performance of various

companies based on the returns they provide, before making investments. In this context,

it is relevant to see whether companies are earning returns on their costs, and thereby,

creating wealth for their shareholders.

NEED AND IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY:

Investors who have a variety of options will evaluate the performance of companies

based on the returns they provide, before making investments. Companied need to

improve their financial performance to meet the expectations of investors. So, creation of

wealth is an important task for companies. Non-creation of EVA leads to investor

dissatisfaction. This will affect the equity mobilization activities of companies, which

have a great impact on the economy.

In this context, it is relevant to see whether companies are earning returns on their costs,

and thereby, creating wealth for their shareholders.

THE OBJECTIVE THE STUDY:

To measure the economic value added of selected companies


12/44



THE BACKGROUND OF EVA

EVA is not a new discovery. An accounting performance measure called residual income

is defined to be operating profit subtracted with capital charge. EVA is thus one variation

of residual income with adjustments to how one calculates income and capital. According

to Wallace (1997, p.1) one of the earliest to mention the residual income concept was

Alfred Marshall in 1890. Marshall defined economic profit as total net gains less the

interest on invested capital at the current rate. According to Dodd & Chen (1996, p.27)

the idea of residual income appeared first in accounting theory literature early in this

century by e.g. Church in 1917 and by Scovell in 1924 and appeared in management

accounting literature in the 1960s. Also Finnish academics and financial press discussed

the concept as early as in the 1970s. It was defined as a good way to complement ROI-

control (Virtanen 1975, p.111). Knowing this background many academics have been

wondering about the big publicity and praise that has surrounded EVA in the recent

years. The EVA-concept is often called Economic Profit (EP) in order to avoid problems

caused by the trademarking. On the other hand the name "EVA" is so popular and well

known that often all residual income concepts are often called EVA although they do not

include even the main elements defined by Stern Stewart & Co. For example, hardly any

of those Finnish companies that have adopted EVA calculate rate of return based on the

beginning capital as Stewart has defined it, because average capital is in practice a better

estimate of the capital employed. So they do not actually use EVA but other residual

income measure. This insignificance detail is ignored later on in order to avoid more

serious misconceptions. It is justified to say that the EVA concept Finnish companies are

using corresponds virtually the EVA defined by Stern Stewart & Co.

In the 1970s or earlier residual income did not got wide publicity and it did not end up to

be the prime performance measure in great deal of companies. However EVA, practicallythe same concept with a different name, has done it in the recent years. Furthermore the

spreading of EVA and other residual income measures does not look to be on a

weakening trend. On the contrary the number of companies adopting EVA is increasing

rapidly. We can only guess why residual income did never gain a popularity of this scale.

One of the possible reasons is that Economic value added (EVA) was marketed with a


13/44



concept of Market value added (MVA) and it did offer a theoretically sound link to

market valuations. In the times when investors demand focus on Shareholder value issues

this was a good bite EVA measures whether the operating profit is enough compared to

the total costs of capital employed. Stewart defined EVA (1990, p.137) as Net operating

profit after taxes (NOPAT) subtracted with a capital charge.

At operational level this new approach leads often to increased shareholder value through

increased capital turnover (Wallace 1997, p.16). In many companies everything has been

done in cutting costs but the capital efficiency has been ignored. EVA has been helpful

because it forces to pay attention to capital employed and especially to excess working

capital. Allocating the capital costs to their originators i.e. individual functions of

organization can further reinforce this impact.

One of EVA's most powerful features is its suitability to management bonus systems.

This have been empirically proofed to be good way to increase shareholder value

(Wallace 1997). The good feasibility for this purpose is due to the nature of EVA as

excess return to shareholders. When EVA is maximized also shareholder value is

maximized. The idea of EVA bonuses is that if management can be paid some bonuses,

the shareholders have always earned higher return on their capital than they can expect.

This kind of bonus system is usually beneficial both to management and the shareholders,

because the performance level is likely to rise after introducing EVA bonus system. EVA

bonus paid is far from a cost to shareholders, because it is often a share in the

discretionary value created. With well designed bonus plan, the higher the bonuses that

are paid, the better it is for the shareholders. In order to be successful, EVA based bonus

systems should be long-term, based mainly on changes of EVA and offer considerable

bonuses for considerable shareholder value improvements.


14/44



With implementation it is important to understand the EVA-concept thoroughly and tailor

the concept to the unique situation of each company or business unit. EVA is at its best as

an overall measure and organizational approach with strong link to payroll of managers

and other employees. That kind utilization can not succeed without deep understanding

and commitment achieved with proper training.

EVA = NOPAT CAPITAL COST

EVA = NOPAT COST OF CAPITAL x CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Terminology

Shareholder value = Shareholder value is being used as a overall term covering various

aspects in thinking that promotes the interests of shareholders. Normally the term also

means a companys value to its shareholders i.e. market capitalization.

Shareholder value approach = Shareholder value approach refers to the focus of

organization and management on acting within the interests of shareholders. Hence it

means focus on maximizing the wealth of shareholders (creating shareholder value).

Value based measures = Value based measures are new performance measures that

originate from the shareholder value approach. They seek to measure the periodic

performance in terms of shareholder value created (or destroyed).

Cost of Equity: Cost of equity is the minimum rate of return, which has to be made from

an equity-financed project, in order to maintain the present wealth of the shareholders

unaffected. It can be computed based on Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).

According to CAPM,

Cost of Equity Ke = Risk-free Rate + (Beta x Market Premium).


15/44



Risk-free Rate: Risk-free rate is the rate of return from securities, which are free from

any type of risk. Generally, government-backed securities are considered as risk-free

securities. So, the yield on the 364-day Government of India Treasury Bill is considered

as risk-free rate [Thampy et al. (2001), Sen et al. (2003)]. Theses show 9.7583%,

7.1016% and 5.9251% for years 2000-01, 2001-02 and 2002-03 respectively.

Beta: Beta is the measure of the volatility of a stock in relation to the market. It is the

index of systematic risk. Beta for the each stock was calculated based on the daily stock

price with the Bombay Stock Exchanges sensex returns as the proxy for the market

returns. Beta was calculated by using the data from the period April 1, 2002 to March 31,

2003.

Market Premium: Market premium is the excess return offered by the market over the

risk-free rate. It is considered as 7%, since some of the leading firms like Infosys used the

same rate while calculating EVA for their firm.

LITERATURE REVIEW:

Stern Stewart (1990, p.215 - 218) has first studied this relationship with market data of

618 U.S. companies. Stewart presents the results in his book "The quest for value".

Stewart has studied the relationship between EVA and market value of the company and

he has produced a list of companies EVA annually since 1982, its coverage is limited to

the largest 1,000 companies. He states that EVA and MVA correspond each other in

reality quite well among US companies (the data was from late 1980s). Only the

relationship between negative EVA and negative MVA does not hold very well.

According to Stewart, this is because the potential of liquidation, recovery,

recapitalization, or takeover sets a floor on a companys market value (Stewart p.217).

For example with companies which have a lot of fixed assets this is quite easy to

understand. Market value will always reflect the value of assets even though the company

has very low or negative rate of return (and so theoretically it should sell a lot below

book value). That is because the company can always be liquidated; the owners have an

option to liquidate the assets if the return looks week also in the future. On the other hand

markets do not believe that the weak returns can go on forever. Markets are expecting a

chance, an improvement, in the long run. If EVA is positive, the relationship is more

direct. Then the market valuation happens on the basis of return and growth potential andnot on the basis of liquidation or recovery value. Stewart finds also that MVA and EVA

correspond each other best when we talk about changes in EVA and MVA and not the

absolute levels. Changes in EVA and MVA are not affected so much by accounting

distortions and inflation than the absolute values.

Grant (1996) shows that EVA significantly impacts the market value added of a firm and

that this wealth effect stems from the companys positive residual return on capital. He

calculates regression statistics between the MVA-to-capital and EVA-to-capital ratios

from the data of 983 firms.


18/44



Peterson (1996) show that value-added measures are slightly but not significantly more

correlated with stock returns than traditional performance measures.

Lehn and Makhija (1996) study EVA and MVA as performance measures and signals for

strategic change. Their data consists of 241 U.S. companies and cover years 1987, 1988,

1992 and 1993. The researchers first find out that both measures correlate positively with

stock returns and that the correlation is slightly better than with traditional performance

measures like return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and return on sales (ROS).

Additionally they study how companies performance, as measured in terms of EVA and

MVA, affect on the CEO firings. Finally they examine the relationship between

EVA/MVA and corporate focus. Lehn and Makhija find an inverse relation between

EVA/MVA and abnormal CEO turnover. They also find that firms with greater focus on

their business activities have significantly higher MVA than their less focused

counterparts. Lehn and Makhija conclude that their results suggest EVA and MVA to be

effective performance measures that contain information about the quality of strategic

decisions and serve as signals of strategic change.

METHOD ADOPTED TO CALCULATE ECONOMIC VALUE ADDED (EVA):

EVA = NOPAT-WACC*CAPITAL EMPLOYED

NOPAT is net operating profit after taxes.

WACC is weighted average cost of capital (equity and debt). WACC used in the

calculations is at book value of equity and debt. It is calculated as follows:

WACC = Ke *W1+ Kd (1-T)*W2

W1 is weight of EQUITY

W2 is weight of DEBT

Kd is the effective cost of Debt, which is calculated by dividing the totat

interest by the total debt.

Ke is calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model developed by Modigliani and

Miller.

Ke=Rf+Beta (Rm-Rf)

Rfis the risk free rate, i.e., the rate of interest for 1-year government

securities. These rates are obtained from the website of Reserve Bank

of India.

Rm is the return for the market. It is calculated by using the formula given below for the

index values.

Rm=Average of return on market for all the 10 years

Return = Closing index value-opening index value * 100/Opening index value

Beta values for all the sample companies for all the 5 years are calculated by finding the

slope between log normal of share prices of all the companies and log normal of the

index values. Log normal of the values is considered to remove abnormalities if any and

convert them into normal distribution.

Invested Capital is the total long term funds and includes equity shares and the total debt

as at the end of the year.

INTERPRATION

TABLE-1

It can be seen that beta for most of the companies has increased from year to

year from Table-1. Earlier, in 2002 it was in range between 0.10 to 0.20 except

some cases. But slowly it has increased to about 0.50 by the end of 2006. Thus

we can say that riskiness of the stock is increased during the period of 2002 to

2006.

TABLE-2

NOPAT is increased consistently increased and improved from year to year of

almost companies. There is some variations in case of pharmacy companies. In

2006, NOPAT of Ranbaxy has dropped, while in case of Dr. Reddys NOPAT has

decreased continuously but in year 2006 it has improved a lot.

TABLE-3

Total capital employed of almost companies is increased consistently from

2002 to 2006. While, HLL has reduced its capital fund in year 2005 and

2006. L&T has also reduced its capital fund during 2003 and 2004 but it has

again increased the capital fund in 2005 and 2006.

TABLE-4

From the table it is concluded that weightage average cost of capital

(WACC) of the all companies during 2002 and 2003 is very low. WACC is

around 2-6 during these years. But in 2004 WACC is increased drastically

because of increasing beta and market return as well as. In case of Infosys

and Dr. Reddys, WACC is very low because of negative beta. And in case

of TCS, WACC is also very low because it depended more on debt fund

30/44



INTERPRATION:

It can be understood from Table 5 that there is no consistent pattern of economic

value created by the selected companies. Sometimes, it is negative and some

time it is positive.

In year 2002, Economic Value added of all the companies is positive. in the next

year 2003, EVA of the most companies is increased in comparison of previous

year except Wipro, ONGC, Cipla and Dr. Reddys. EVA of these four companies

is decreased compare to previous year. While, EVA of TCS is negative.

In year 2004, EVA of the companies is the combination of positive and negative.

In the year, only Infosys, Hero Honda, HLL, BPCL, Ranbaxy and Dr. Reddys

added economic value while all other companies did not create any wealth to

their shareholders because of high market return.

Again in 2005, all selected companies created wealth except Dr. Reddys

In year 2006, economic value added is again combination of positive and

negative like in year 2004. The companies, those created value to shareholders

are Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Tata Motors, Hero Honda, HLL, Dabur and ONGC.

Except these companies no other companies added any economic value.

Infosys, Hero Honda and HLL are the companies among all sample companies,

those created wealth to its shareholders consistently during five years from 2002-

2006.

INTERPRATION:

From the table it can be understood that there is no such relationship

between price and EVA. Because increase or decrease in EVA, there is no

relative effect on market price of shares of companies. Market price does not

vary with the variation of economic value added of the companies.

Especially in 2004 and 2006 when companies did not created any wealth to

its shareholders, market price of the companies was not influenced

negatively.

Market price of Infosys has increased consistently in stead of negative EVA

in 2006. Price of Wipro and Satyam is also increased consistently in stead of

negative EVA in 2004 and 2006.

DISCUSSIONS:

Economic Value Added is a residual income variable. It is defined as Net

operating profit after taxes subtracted with the cost of capital tied in operations.

EVA seems to have importance for companies as a performance measurement

and controlling tool. First of all it is fairly simple measure but still measures well

the ultimate aim of any given company, the increase or decrease in shareholders

wealth. Maximizing traditional performance measures like ROI is not theoretically

in line with maximizing the wealth of shareholders. Therefore EVA is superior to

conventional performance measures. The premise behind EVA that businesses

must cover their capital costs is neither new nor peculiar. Putting it into practice

can still be eye-opening. EVA shows financial performance with a new pair ofglasses or offers new approach especially for the companies where equity is

viewed as free source of funds and performance is measured by some earnings

figure. At best EVA helps with creating a mind-set throughout the organization

that encourages managers and employees to think and behave like owners.

Substantial shareholder value increases and true success stories arise always

from outstanding strategy, quick response, great ideas and good predicting of

future. EVA helps in quantitative assessing of different strategies but that is all.

Wealth does not arise from EVA alone. EVA only measures changes of wealth. It

is also as short-term as all other periodic performance measures. Therefore all

companies should rely also on other performance measures. Especially

important this is e.g. for new growth phase companies. However we have to bear

in mind that the success or failure of any given company is measured ultimately

as created shareholder value. Therefore EVA is important measure also for those

companies that use primarily other tools is assessing the achievement of theirstrategic goals.


36/44



Conclusion

The above discussion explains the importance of using EVA as a tool for

measuring financial performance. The study reveals that there is no strong

pattern of EVA of selected companies during the period. The wealth created by

most companies in year 2004 and 2006 is negative because of higher cost of

capital than that of other years.

The central idea of EVA is subtracting the cost of capital from the firm's profits to

measure, as the term indicates, the economic additional value produced by the

firm to its owners over the weighted cost of the capital employed. This raised the

question of the effect of the debt and equity cost components on the behavior of

EVA. It was observed that the cost of debt has little effect on the EVA's. On theother hand, as is expected, EVA behaves in a linear fashion with respect to the

cost of equity. It was also observed that even EVA is much more unstable than

the other performance measure.

It is also observed that there is no strong relation between EVA and market

prices of the companies. Thus, it can be understood that investor do not give so

importance to EVA for its investment decision. Extensive study is required to

establish the influence of other factors like non-fund based income, spread,

deployment of funds, market price, etc. It is also expected that the usage of EVA

as a financial performance tool will also be more in India.
