FINANCIAL AND
OPERATING
LEVERAGE
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Explain the concept of financial leverage
Discuss the alternative measures of financial
leverage
Understand the risk and return implications
of financial leverage
Analyze the combined effect of financial and
operating leverage
Highlight the difference between operating
risk and financial risk
2
Capital Structure Defined
The term capital structure is used to represent the
proportionate relationship between debt and equity.
The various means of financing represent the financial
structure of an enterprise. The left-hand side of the
balance sheet (liabilities plus equity) represents the
financial structure of a company. Traditionally, short-
term borrowings are excluded from the list of methods
of financing the firm’s capital expenditure.
3
While making the Financing Decision...
How should the investment project be financed?
Does the way in which the investment projects are
financed matter?
How does financing affect the shareholders’ risk, return and
value?
Does there exist an optimum financing mix in terms of the
maximum value to the firm’s shareholders?
Can the optimum financing mix be determined in practice
for a company?
What factors in practice should a company consider in
designing its financing policy?
4
Meaning of Financial Leverage
The use of the fixed-charges sources of funds, such as debt
and preference capital along with the owners’ equity in the
capital structure, is described as financial leverage or
gearing or trading on equity.
The financial leverage employed by a company is intended
to earn more return on the fixed-charge funds than their
costs. The surplus (or deficit) will increase (or decrease) the
return on the owners’ equity. The rate of return on the
owners’ equity is levered above or below the rate of return
on total assets.
5
Measures of Financial Leverage
Debt ratio
Debt–equity ratio
Interest coverage
The first two measures of financial leverage can be
expressed either in terms of book values or market values.
These two measures are also known as measures of capital
gearing.
The third measure of financial leverage, commonly known
as coverage ratio. The reciprocal of interest coverage is a
measure of the firm’s income gearing.
6
Financial Leverage and the
Shareholders’ Return
The primary motive of a company in using financial leverage
is to magnify the shareholders’ return under favourable
economic conditions. The role of financial leverage in
magnifying the return of the shareholders’ is based on the
assumptions that the fixed-charges funds (such as the loan
from financial institutions and banks or debentures) can be
obtained at a cost lower than the firm’s rate of return on
net assets (RONA or ROI).
EPS, ROE and ROI are the important figures for analysing
the impact of financial leverage.
7
EPS and ROE Calculations
For calculating ROE either the book value or
the market value equity may be used.
8
Analyzing Alternative Financial Plans:
Constant EBIT
The firm is considering two alternative financial plans:
– (i) either to raise the entire funds by issuing 50,000 ordinary
shares at Rs 10 per share, or
– (ii) to raise Rs 250,000 by issuing 25,000 ordinary shares at Rs 10
per share and borrow Rs 250,000 at 15 per cent rate of interest.
The tax rate is 50 per cent.
9
Effect of Financial Plan on EPS and ROE:
Constant EBIT
Interest Tax Shield
The interest charges are tax deductible and,
therefore, provide tax shield, which increases
the earnings of the shareholders.
11
Effect of Leverage on ROE and EPS
Favourable ROI > i
Unfavourable ROI < i
Neutral ROI = i

Calculation of indifference point
• The EPS formula under all-equity plan is
• The EPS formula under debt–equity plan is:
• Setting the two formulae equal, we have:
19
Sometimes a firm may like to make a choice between two
levels of debt. Then, the indifference point formula will be:
The firm may compare between an all-equity plan and an
equity-and-preference share plan. Then the indifference
point formula will be:

Operating Leverage
Operating leverage affects a firm’s
operating profit (EBIT).
The degree of operating leverage (DOL) is
defined as the percentage change in the
earnings before interest and taxes relative
to a given percentage change in sales.

Degree of Financial Leverage
The degree of financial leverage (DFL) is
defined as the percentage change in EPS due
to a given percentage change in EBIT –
24
Combining Financial and Operating
Leverages
Operating leverage affects a firm’s operating
profit (EBIT), while financial leverage affects
profit after tax or the earnings per share.
The degrees of operating and financial
leverages is combined to see the effect of total
leverage on EPS associated with a given
change in sales.
25
Combining Financial and Operating
Leverages
The degree of combined leverage (DCL) is
given by the following equation –
another way of expressing the degree of
combined leverage is as follows –

Financial Leverage and the
Shareholders’ Risk
The variability of EBIT and EPS distinguish
between two types of risk—operating risk and
financial risk.
Operating risk can be defined as the variability of
EBIT (or return on total assets). The environment
—internal and external—in which a firm operates
determines the variability of EBIT.
The variability of EBIT has two components –
Variability of sales
Variability of expenses
27
The variability of EPS caused by the use of
financial leverage is called financial risk.
Financial risk is an avoidable risk if the firm
decides not to use any debt in its capital
structure.
Risk-Return Trade-off
If the firm wants higher return (EPS or ROE) for the
shareholders for a given level of EBIT, it will have to employ
more debt and will also be exposed to greater risk (as
measured by standard deviation or coefficient of variation).
In fact, the firm faces a trade-off between risk and return.
Financial leverage increases the chance or probability of
insolvency.

Financial Leverage

  • 2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Explain the concept of financial leverage Discuss the alternative measures of financial leverage Understand the risk and return implications of financial leverage Analyze the combined effect of financial and operating leverage Highlight the difference between operating risk and financial risk 2

The various means of financing represent the financial structure of an enterprise. The left-hand side of the balance sheet (liabilities plus equity) represents the financial structure of a company. Traditionally, short- term borrowings are excluded from the list of methods of financing the firm’s capital expenditure. 3

How does financing affect the shareholders’ risk, return and value? Does there exist an optimum financing mix in terms of the maximum value to the firm’s shareholders? Can the optimum financing mix be determined in practice for a company? What factors in practice should a company consider in designing its financing policy? 4

Meaning of Financial Leverage The use of the fixed-charges sources of funds, such as debt and preference capital along with the owners’ equity in the capital structure, is described as financial leverage or gearing or trading on equity. The financial leverage employed by a company is intended to earn more return on the fixed-charge funds than their costs. The surplus (or deficit) will increase (or decrease) the return on the owners’ equity. The rate of return on the owners’ equity is levered above or below the rate of return on total assets. 5
  • 6. Measures of Financial Leverage Debt ratio Debt–equity ratio Interest coverage The first two measures of financial leverage can be expressed either in terms of book values or market values. These two measures are also known as measures of capital gearing. The third measure of financial leverage, commonly known as coverage ratio. The reciprocal of interest coverage is a measure of the firm’s income gearing. 6

The role of financial leverage in magnifying the return of the shareholders’ is based on the assumptions that the fixed-charges funds (such as the loan from financial institutions and banks or debentures) can be obtained at a cost lower than the firm’s rate of return on net assets (RONA or ROI). EPS, ROE and ROI are the important figures for analysing the impact of financial leverage. 7
  • 8. EPS and ROE Calculations For calculating ROE either the book value or the market value equity may be used. 8
  • 9. Analyzing Alternative Financial Plans: Constant EBIT The firm is considering two alternative financial plans: – (i) either to raise the entire funds by issuing 50,000 ordinary shares at Rs 10 per share, or – (ii) to raise Rs 250,000 by issuing 25,000 ordinary shares at Rs 10 per share and borrow Rs 250,000 at 15 per cent rate of interest. The tax rate is 50 per cent. 9
  • 10. Effect of Financial Plan on EPS and ROE: Constant EBIT
  • 11. Interest Tax Shield The interest charges are tax deductible and, therefore, provide tax shield, which increases the earnings of the shareholders. 11

  • 19. Calculation of indifference point • The EPS formula under all-equity plan is • The EPS formula under debt–equity plan is: • Setting the two formulae equal, we have: 19
  • 20. Sometimes a firm may like to make a choice between two levels of debt. Then, the indifference point formula will be: The firm may compare between an all-equity plan and an equity-and-preference share plan. Then the indifference point formula will be: 20 Calculation of indifference point
  • 22. Operating Leverage Operating leverage affects a firm’s operating profit (EBIT). The degree of operating leverage (DOL) is defined as the percentage change in the earnings before interest and taxes relative to a given percentage change in sales. 22
  • 23. % Change in EBIT DOL % Change in Sales EBIT/EBIT DOL Sales/Sales = ∆ = ∆
  • 24. Degree of Financial Leverage The degree of financial leverage (DFL) is defined as the percentage change in EPS due to a given percentage change in EBIT – 24
  • 25. Combining Financial and Operating Leverages Operating leverage affects a firm’s operating profit (EBIT), while financial leverage affects profit after tax or the earnings per share. The degrees of operating and financial leverages is combined to see the effect of total leverage on EPS associated with a given change in sales. 25
  • 26. Combining Financial and Operating Leverages The degree of combined leverage (DCL) is given by the following equation – another way of expressing the degree of combined leverage is as follows – 26 % Change in EBIT % Change in EPS % Change in EPS % Change in Sales % Change in EBIT % Change in Sales = × = ( ) ( ) ( ) DCL ( ) ( ) INT ( ) INT Q s v Q s v F Q s v Q s v F Q s v F Q s v F − − − − = × = − − − − − − − −
  • 27. Financial Leverage and the Shareholders’ Risk The variability of EBIT and EPS distinguish between two types of risk—operating risk and financial risk. Operating risk can be defined as the variability of EBIT (or return on total assets). The environment —internal and external—in which a firm operates determines the variability of EBIT. The variability of EBIT has two components – Variability of sales Variability of expenses 27
  • 28. The variability of EPS caused by the use of financial leverage is called financial risk. Financial risk is an avoidable risk if the firm decides not to use any debt in its capital structure.
  • 29. Risk-Return Trade-off If the firm wants higher return (EPS or ROE) for the shareholders for a given level of EBIT, it will have to employ more debt and will also be exposed to greater risk (as measured by standard deviation or coefficient of variation). In fact, the firm faces a trade-off between risk and return. Financial leverage increases the chance or probability of insolvency. 29
