Modeling and Accounting Gurus – a question about modeling SHE
I'm trying to model shareholder's equity in detail, for an in-depth 3 statement model and I really need help. In the past few years’ statements, there’s an outflow on the SCF under financing activities called “stock buybacks” - yet, on the Statement of SHE, these buybacks are listed under the APIC column, rather than the Treasury stock column…wtf? Shouldn't share buybacks be increasing T-stock, rather than decreasing APIC as they appear to be doing? Tstock has remained flat, while APIC has decreased, as a result of this buyback account. Wtf is going on here? I've learned from modeling courses (and just basic accounting intuition...) to model buybacks into the Tstock account so I'm unsure how to proceed with my model. Thanks for any input.
1) Check notes 2) If it's a small / medium company, check the Auditors report 3) If in doubt, do what they've done previously
One thing to consider is that the company may be trying to reduce it's APIC for whatever reason and deciding to "defund" APIC rather than increase Treasury stock. Not too sure why as this would just increase it's debt / equity ratio.
