Overview of the webinar

First, banking commercial borrowers require lenders to evaluate both repayment abilities, and, in turn, necessitates analyzing both the short-term and long-term potential of borrowers.  Enough positive cash flow to repay creditors and reward owners comes from solid financial performance, sustainable operating performance, and a stable financial condition.

Second, projecting a borrower’s financial performance means analyzing the underlying assumptions, e.g., revenue growth rate, productivity, profitability ratios, cost of debt and equity capital, etc., and employing these factors to forecast the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement to quantify the future cash flow available for debt repayment, dividends, working capital and fixed asset investment sufficient to keep the borrower operating successfully.

Third, building shareholder value keeps the owners engaged and committed to sustaining the business.  What is the discounted value of those future cash flows?  What are the key drivers?  See how well working capital management—inventory, receivables, payables—can build up shareholder value faster and how productive capital expenditures can enhance shareholder value.
