ConnectCode Pg iii Financial Planning and Forecasting Version 1. 0 1. 1. 1 Financial Planning and Forecasting Pro Forma Financial Statements Financial statements projections and forecasting are very common in corporate financial analysis. The reason is that it is very useful and important to forecast how much financing a company will require in future years.
The projections are achieved by using historical sales, accounting data and assumptions on future sales and costs. These financial statements projections are known financial modeling as Pro Forma financial statements. 1. 2 Financial Statements Modeling This spreadsheet provides a template for financial statements forecasting. It requires simple financial statements inputs from the past 5 years and will automatically generate all the necessary Pro Forma Financial Statements projections outputs. The following diagram illustrates the process of using this template for financial statements forecasting.
Most inputs are required in the first step. The rest of the four steps involve reviewing the outputs generated and entering values like short term interest rates to be assumed in the model. Pg 1-1 Financial Planning and Forecasting Version 1. 0 2. 2. 1 Financial Planning and Forecasting Spreadsheet Financial Statements Inputs The template requires inputs from the Income Statement and Balance Sheet from the past 5 years. 2. 1. 1 Income Statement All inputs are marked with the “*” symbol.

Revenues Sales* Cost and expenses: Cost of sales* Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A)* Research and Development* Depreciation* Operating income = Sales – Cost and expenses Interest Interest expense* Interest income* Net Interest = Interest income – Interest expense Income before taxes = Operating income + Net Interest Income taxes* Net income = Income before taxes – Income taxes Common Shares* Earnings per Share = Net income / Common Shares Dividends paid* Retained Earnings = Net income – Dividends paid
Pg 2-2 Financial Planning and Forecasting Version 1. 0 2. 1. 2 Balance Sheet All inputs are marked with the “*” symbol. The fields that are automatically calculated as shown in bold below.
Assets Cash and cash equivalents* Accounts receivable* Inventories* Deferred income taxes* Total current assets = Cash and cash equivalents + Accounts receivable + Inventories + Defered income taxes Fixed assets Cost* Accumulated Depreciation* Net fixed assets = Fixed Assets Cost – Accumulated Depreciation Goodwill* Intangible assets* Other assets* Total assets = Total current assets + Net fixed assets + Goodwill + Intangible assets + Other assets Liabilities Accounts payable* Current debt = Total liabilities – Accounts payable – Long-term debt – Other longterm liabilities Total current liabilities = Accounts payable + Current debt Long-term debt* Other long-term liabilities* Total liabilities = Total liabilities and shareholder’s Equity – Total Shareholders’ Equity Shareholders’ equity Common Stock and Additional Paid in Capital* Retained Earnings* Total Shareholders’ Equity = Common Stock and Additional Paid in Capital + Pg 2-3 Financial Planning and Forecasting Version 1. 0 Retained Earnings Total liabilities and shareholders’ Equity = Total assets The Total liabilities and shareholders’ Equity field is worth noting. It is set to be equal to the Total assets in the spreadsheet.
Total liabilities and shareholders’ Equity = Total assets Total liabilities field is calculated as follows: Total liabilities = Total liabilities and shareholder’s Equity – Total Shareholders’ Equity The Current debt field is the Plug. It is defined as follows: Current debt = Total liabilities – Accounts payable – Long-term debt – Other long-term liabilities 2. 2 Common Size Financial Statements The Common Size Financial Statements express all the fields in the Income Statement and Balance Sheet as a ratio over Sales. By expressing the fields in ratio, a standardized financial statement can be created to reveal insights and trends of companies. It will be easy to compare financial statements of different size companies or the same company at different times.
For example, a company may have grown to be very large over the years. 2. 2. 1 ? ? ? ? Fields from the Income Statement Cost of Sales in 1999 = Cost of Sales in 1999 / Sales in 1999 Cost of Sales in 2000 = Cost of Sales in 2000 / Sales in 2000 Depreciation in 1999 = Depreciation in 1999 / Sales in 1999 Interest expense in 2003 = Interest expense in 2003 / Sales in 2003 2. 2. 2 ? ?
