How are lease epenses considered in cash-flow calculation?
Baffles me that this never has been clearly explained in tutorials (wil tell you at the end what BIWS say).
But my main question is: when I account for a capital lease I will split the lease in hypothetical principal repayments and debt interest payments. On top of that I will depreciate the lease asset.
How do I derive real cash flows from this hypothetical interest/principal repayment figures?
Let me make an example:
Revenue: 100
Lease Asset D&A: 15
Lease principal repayment: 12
Interest: 8
"Real" Lease Expense thus 20
Taxes: 40%
No other cost or expenses
On my income statement I have Revenue 100 - 15 (D&A) - 8 (Interest) = 77 (Pre Tax Profit) * (1-40%) = 46.2 Net income
Now what are my "real" cash flows?
I certainly have two pay two things:
a) The lease expense of 20
b) The tax of 30.8 (77 *40%)
Which all things being equal would lead to cash increase of 49.2
But how would I arrive at that figure when calculating my operating cash flow and UFCF?
Net Income: 46.2 + 15 D&A = 61.2 (Wrong)
2) UFCF - the way BIWS tells it, he says don't add back lease D&A
85 (EBIT) *(1-40%) = 51 + 0 Lease D&A
---
So what is the correct whay of doing this? 1) certainly arrives at wrong operating cash flows but is at least 2) somewhat good to use for valuation purposes?
