Editor's Notes
- Yaw
- Yaw
- Yaw Incorporated in 2000 in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Kraft Foods is the largest food company in the US and second largest food company in the world. Kraft foods has approximately 127,000 employees worldwide, and manufactures and markets packaged food products. Kraft foods sells its products to consumers in 170 countries, and has operations in more than 75 countries. They are a member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Standard & Poor’s 500, the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, and the NYSE.
- Yaw The company is organized into 3 Segments operating as Kraft Foods in North America, Europe and Developing Markets; and 6 Consumer Sectors that include: Beverages, Cheese, Convenient Meals, Grocery, Snacks, Biscuits, Coffee, Chocolate and Confectionery.
- Yaw Kraft supports Class A Stock. Because Kraft Foods Inc. is essentially a holding company, its principal source of revenues comes from its segments. These Segments are wholly owned subsidiaries that are not limited by long-term debt in their ability to pay dividends. In 2010, Kraft reported $49.2 billion in Revenues and Earnings from its operations; and $3.6 billion in Earnings Before Income Taxes. At December 31, 2010, Kraft reported Net Assets of $35.9 billion and Gross Assets of $95.3 billion.
- Yaw Financial data reported in Kraft‘s 2010 and 2011 annual reports was reviewed, and the following Key Ratios have been calculated.
- Yaw We were interested in understanding Kraft’s Short-term (operating) activity ratios. We found that Days In Inventory improved from 2009 to 2010. - This was directly related to a program instituted to incentivize Kraft managers to clear their inventories. Receivables Turnover demonstrated that Kraft is very efficient in collecting money from its customers. ---------- Payables turnover is an activity ratio calculated as revenue divided by payables. • Kraft Foods Inc.'s payables turnover declined from 2008 to 2009 and from 2009 to 2010. Working capital turnover is an activity ratio calculated as revenue divided by working capital. • Kraft Foods Inc.'s working capital turnover deteriorated from 2008 to 2009 and from 2009 to 2010. Operating cycle is equal to average inventory processing period plus average receivables collection period. • Kraft Foods Inc.'s operating cycle deteriorated from 2008 to 2009 and from 2009 to 2010. Cash Conversion cycle is a financial metric that measures the length of time required for a company to convert cash invested in its operations to cash received as a result of its operations; equal to average inventory processing period plus average receivables collection period minus average payables payment period. • Kraft Foods Inc.'s cash conversion cycle deteriorated from 2008 to 2009 and from 2009 to 2010.
- Yaw We were also interested in understanding Kraft’s Long-term (investment) activity ratios. Fixed Asset Turnover and Equity Turnover are activity ratios that have both remained steady since 2009. This recent stability is notable because of the significant investment sunk into Kraft's 2010 Cadbury acquisition. ------ Asset turnover is an activity ratio calculated as total revenue divided by total assets. • Asset turnover measures a firm's efficiency at using its assets in generating sales or revenue - the higher the number the better. • It also indicates pricing strategy: companies with low profit margins tend to have high asset turnover, while those with high profit margins have low asset turnover. Kraft Foods Inc.'s total asset turnover deteriorated from 2008 to 2009 and from 2009 to 2010.
- Yaw Current ratio is a liquidity ratio that indicates Kraft should be able to to pay back its short-term liabilities by using its short-term assets like cash, inventory, and receivables. • Kraft has had a moderate current ratio for the past 3 years. Kraft's Debt-to-Capital ratio improved from 2008 to 2009, and remains steady. P/E Ratio has also been consistent for the past few years. ------ Quick ratio is a liquidity ratio calculated as (cash plus short-term marketable investments plus receivables) divided by current liabilities. • Quick ratio is more conservative than the current ratio and excludes inventory from current assets. • Inventory is excluded because some companies have difficulty turning their inventory into cash. • In the event that short-term obligations need to be paid off immediately, there are situations in which the current ratio would overestimate a company's short-term financial strength. • Kraft's quick ratio improved from 2008 to 2009 but then slightly deteriorated from 2009 to 2010 not reaching 2008 level.
- Yaw Over the past 5 years, Kraft has demonstrated little difficulty maintaining its Gross Profit Margin . This is a good indicator of the company’s profitability. In 2010, Kraft kept pace with the S&P 500 and outperformed its industry.
- Yaw • Kraft faces intense competition in all aspects of its business. • In 2010, Kraft revised its peer performance group to only include food and beverage companies. • We compared Kraft’s RETURN ON EQUITY performance to Bunge Limited and Unilever from the Food Products industry, PespsiCo from the Beverage industry and Hershey’s from the Confectionary industry . • In terms of ROE, Kraft outperformed all competitors, except Hershey. ---------- Hershey’s ROE is several times that of all it’s competitors. In fact, it ranks 12th in the top 25 list of all company ROEs. HSY is a performance outlier, in that it is ranked in the 96 th percentile of all companies in ROE and 94 th for companies in the Consumer Goods Sector .
- Yaw Kraft’s 5-year Sales performance outperformed its industry and kept pace with the S&P 500. The company also outperformed the S&P 500, in terms of Dividend Growth , and has shown consistent Dividend Growth over time.
- Len
- Len List 5 year CAGR and projected growth rates for COGS, Assets, Sales, debt, equity, net earnings etc. The external financing needed is a standard calculation based on all income statement and balance sheet numbers
- Geneva
- Geneva Kraft is financed through debt and equity. As you can see from the chart before you, the debt to capital relationship and the equity to capital relationship has been constant over the past few years. In 2010, Kraft was involved in two key transactions: Kraft sold its Pizza Product line for $3.6 billion, which provided in part the cash to purchase Cadbury Company. Kraft acquired British Cadbury for $18.5 billion, while assuming $2.4 billion of Cadbury’s debt in 2010.
- Geneva We monitored the company’s funding needs and patterns, by preparing a statement of sources and uses of funds. Sources of funds are reflected here come from increases in liabilities. This shows that liabilities have increased from 2009 to 2010. Kraft borrowed more money and taken on more debt. Increase in cash, receivables, inventories, etc. are Uses of funds.
- Ayesha
- Ayesha Kraft’s is Structured financially through Debt which is 44.5% and Equity which is 55.5% . The company’s financing and capital structure is designed to leverage its debt-equity ratios. The debt to capital ratio is .44 which indicates that Kraft Foods is not a highly levered firm. As Geneva mentioned earlier, their cost structure has remained the same since 2007.
- Ayesha Let’s take a look at Kraft’s beta which is a measure of its relative risk. Kraft’s low beta of .55 says that it is a relatively mature and stable company. It has a low risk / risk neutral Capital Structure. The demand for Kraft’s products are somewhat less sensitive to economic conditions. It remained between .55 and .63 for the past 5 years Here is a comparison to industry peers – Most support a low β .
- Ayesha The low β drives down the cost of equity. Relationship to risk and expected return is a positive rate of return that is below market. We computed expected return based on capital asset pricing model (CAPM) to be 7.26%. This is in-line with the low risk beta.
- Ayesha Kraft has issued multiple periodic bonds. As the older debt is retired, principle is returned to the debt holder. Then Kraft Foods initiates the creation of additional new public debt to finance its major activities. Its bonds have a good credit rating of Baa2 as rated by Moody’s. The average cost of debt is 5.9%. On February 8, 2010, the company issued $9.5 billion in senior unsecured notes and primarily used the net proceeds ($9.4 billion) to finance the Cadbury acquisition.
- Ayesha Kraft Foods’ weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is at relatively low at 6.15%. There are a number of factors that affect Kraft Food’s cost of capital. The firm is not very highly levered, with the debt being 44% of the total capital. The firm’s credit rating is good carrying Baa2 Moody’s rating, which allows Kraft Foods to borrow at a relatively inexpensive rate – 5.9% at the moment. The corporate tax of 31.5% further reduces the cost of capital financed through debt via the tax shield. Kraft’s β is very low at only 0.55. At such low risk-level, the cost of capital financed with equity is also a fairly low. All above factors combined allow Kraft Foods to access capital at the low rate of 6.15%, which is slightly above the risk-free rate of 30-year treasuries.
- Geneva In June 2001, Kraft completed the second largest IPO buy out in USA history until that time. Kraft’s Prospectus from that time stated that the company would pay quarterly cash dividends. Kraft’s initial quarterly dividend payout was $.13 in December 2001.
- Geneva Kraft’s Dividend payouts’ have increased since the IPO, and have remained steady since 2008. Total Dividends paid out in 2010 were $2 billion with a payout ratio of 49%. Kraft’s is projected to pay out these dividends consistently in 2011.
- Ayesha
- Ayesha Kraft’s stock has beaten the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average. The Stock declined by 20% during last quarter of 2008 and early 2009, during the peak of the economic downturn. It recovered after this earlier short decline.
- Ayesha Kraft’s quarterly dividend of 29 cents has been consistent during the past couple of years. Based on a growth rate of 5.8% and a discount rate of 7.26%, we calculated the value of stock to be $83.95. This is way more than their market value of $31.16. This is primarily due to a combination of high dividend growth rate and low cost of capital. Using the total corporate value model, calculations indicate Kraft’s fair value price to be $36.99; but it currently trades at a stock price of $31.16. At this price, the company is trading at an approximate 15.76% discount to its fair value.
