15 Financial View Measures how do our owners see us? Good practice metrics included in the balanced scorecard financial view include: Fundamentals Related Balance sheet (2) A financial statement that summarises a company's assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity at a specific point in time. These three balance sheet segments give investors an idea as to what the company owns and owes, as well as the amount invested by the shareholders. The balance sheet must follow the following formula: (Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders Equity). Cashflow forecast (3) The forecast of a revenue or expense stream that changes a cash account over a given forecast period. Cash inflows (i.e. revenues) usually arise from one of three activities financing, operations or investing. Cash outflows result from expenses or investments. Long-term debt level (8) The total level of loans and other financial obligations having an estimated payback extending beyond a year. Market share % (7) Percentage of sales relative to the size of the total market. Net change in cash position (6) The difference between the cash and cash equivalents position at the beginning of the reporting period minus the amount at the end of the reporting period. P&L (1) Profit & Loss (P&L) = a financial statement that summarises the revenues, costs and expenses incurred during a specific period of time usually a fiscal quarter or year. These records provide information that shows the ability of a company to generate profit by increasing revenue and reducing costs. Revision: v1.05 Page: 15 of 59

16 ROI / ROA / ROCE / NPV / EVA (4) Return on Investment (ROI) = the amount, expressed as a percentage, that is earned on a capital. Calculated by dividing the total capital into earnings before interest, taxes, or dividends are paid. Return On Assets (ROA) = an indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. ROA gives an idea as to how efficient management is at using its assets to generate earnings. Calculated by dividing a company's annual earnings by its total assets, ROA is displayed as a percentage. Return On Capital Employed (ROCE) = this calculates net profit as a percentage of the total capital employed in a business. It allows you to see how well the money invested in your business is performing compared with other investments you could make with it, like putting it in the bank. Net Present Value (NPV) = the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows. NPV is used in capital budgeting to analyse the profitability of an investment or project. NPV analysis is sensitive to the reliability of future cash inflows that an investment or project will yield it compares the value of a sum today to the value of that same sum in the future, taking inflation and returns into account. Economic Value Added (EVA) = a measure of a company's financial performance based on the residual wealth calculated by deducting cost of capital from its operating profit (adjusted for taxes on a cash basis).
