we need a profitability framework

“Should we introduce
this new product X?”
“Should we acquire

20. Objective and description of a profitability framework
20
The objective of the profitability framework is to highlight the fundamental profit drivers in a
business.
The framework breaks down the problem into smaller pieces to understand the key drivers of the
declining profit.
The framework basically breaks down the profit of a company into this simple equation:
Profit = Revenue – Cost
Then, it breaks down the revenue and the cost of the company into smaller pieces.
The profitability framework is very visual way of seeing what’s wrong.

21. Standard example of a profitability framework
21
Profit
Units produced
Cost per unit
Revenue
Cost
Price per unit
# of units sold
Variable costs
Fixed costs

22. How to create a profitability framework
22
1. Choose your first layer to break down the company profit. Most of the time, the first layer will be
“Revenue” and “Cost”
2. Choose your revenue model. For example, it can be:
• Price * Quantity
• # of transactions * Average transaction value
3. Choose your cost structure. For example, it can be:
• Fixed cost + Variable cost
• A value chain-based cost structure (e.g., raw material cost, manufacturing cost, distribution, sales and
marketing cost, and customer service)
4. Deep dive into the most important revenue and cost drivers

26. Introduction
26
A discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis is a valuation method used to estimate the attractiveness of an investment opportunity. DCF analysis
uses future free cash flow projections and discounts them to arrive at a present value estimate, which is used to evaluate the potential for
investment.
You can conduct a DCF analysis by following these 5 steps:
Estimate the total unlevered free cash flow using our excel template
1
Calculate the total net present value of the total unlevered free cash flow using our Excel template
2
Calculate the weighted cost of capital using our Excel template
3
Calculate the terminal value with both the EBIDTA and PERPETUITY methods using our Excel template
4
Calculate the DCF total valuation with both the EBIDTA and PERPETUITY methods using our Excel template

29
A share investment strategy usually includes an overarching goal and a set of guiding principles that will help you improve the quality of your investment decisions
and, as a result, your returns.
See below a real-life example based on the thinking of some of the best share investors of all time such as Warren Buffet, Charlie Munger, Ray Dalio, and Bill
Ackman. Of course, you will need to use some of your own guiding principles based on the specificities of your situation, or the situation of your organization.
However, we highly recommend that you reuse many of the guiding principles presented in our example. We listed 29 guiding principles so you have a long list of
examples that you can reuse, but you don’t need to have so many; for example, a list of 12 guiding principles can do the job perfectly.
