Credit Analysis and Financial Distress –
Agenda
How does valuation of bonds differ from the valuation of stock?
– Payoffs as a function of firm value
– Stock is a call option given by bondholders to stockholders
Bond ratings
Bondholders will focus on measures of default probability. These
include measures of
– Liquidity (short-term cash availability)
– Solvency (long-term cash availability)
– Size and profitability
– The variance of the firm’s common stock

Corporate Debt v Equity
Quick comparison
1. More debt is issued each year than equity
– 2022=YTD Debt = $1,142B; Equity = $77.2B
2. Equity is more liquid than debt
– 2022 Ave. Daily Volume Debt = $39B; Equity = $604B
3. Equity market is larger in value than corporate debt market
– 2022 2Q Outstanding Debt = $10.1T; 3Q Equity = $37.9T
4. 91.3% of Corporate debt issues 2022YTD are low default risk
(“investment grade)
Points 2, 3, and 4 suggest that far more resources are devoted to
analyzing corporate equity. Commercial loans by banks = $2.4T.
Evaluating these loans requires substantial credit analysis.

Valuation of Stock vs Valuation of Bonds
Payoffs as a function of Asset Value
To understand why valuation of bonds differs from valuation of
stocks we must first understand how the payoffs of these securities
differ as a function of firm value (V).
Assume:
V = value of the firm’s assets
P = promised payment on debt (including interest)
Stockholders’ payoff = maximum (0, V-P)
Bondholders’ payoff = minimum (V, P)
Bondholders lack the “upside” potential of stockholders.
– Cash flows promised by the firm to bondholders are
“capped.”
– After payment of principal and interest are assured,
bondholders receive no benefit from additional profits
generated by the firm.

Valuation of Stock vs Valuation of Bonds
Differences between stock and bond valuation
Unlike stockholders, bondholders will focus their analysis on
situations where the value of the firm’s assets is less then P.
– Bondholders try to predict what would happen in default
• What is the liquidation value of the assets?
– Are the assets fungible or are they valuable only to this
company? How easy is it to covert them into cash?
– Banks will loan more readily on Accounts Receivable than on
PP&E.
– Evidence: Benmelech (2005) found railroads with more
common track gauge had longer debt maturities
• Do other creditors have senior claims in bankruptcy?

Valuation of Stock vs Valuation of Bonds
Differences between stock and bond valuation
Unlike stockholders, bondholders will place little weight on
growth or cash inflows that will only occur if the firm continues
to operate i.e., when V > P.
– Bondholders do not participate in these payouts so the
existence of this growth is irrelevant to bondholders.
– Examples include
(1) growth options, i.e., the option to expand if the firm’s current
investments are successful
(2) growth beyond a given threshold
– Bondholders care about growth only to the extent that it
provides an indication of the health of the firm’s current
operations
Acct 503B Fall 2023

Valuation of Stock vs Valuation of Bonds
Bondholders have given stockholders a call option
The exercise price of the option is the promised payment on the
debt (P).
Stockholders will exercise the option (i.e., retain control of the
firm) if the value of the firm’s assets (V) exceeds the promised
payment on the debt (P).
Implications of thinking about stock as a call option
– Wealth is transferred from bondholders to stockholders
when the variance of the value of the firm’s assets
increases
– This option can create an “underinvestment problem.”
That is, shareholders will not want to invest in profitable
projects, because a portion of the payout from these
projects goes to the bondholders.

Wealth is transferred from bondholders to stockholders when the
variance of the value of the firm’s assets increases
(1)
Expected value of bond = .5 × $25 + .5 × $15 = $20
Expected value of stock = .5 × $0 + .5 × $0 = $0
By increasing the variance of the payout, the owners have
transferred $5 from the bondholders to themselves.

Expected value of bond = .5 × $25 + .5 × $5 = $15
Expected value of stock = .5 × $0 + .5 × ($35 – $25) = $5

Valuation of Stock vs Valuation of Bonds
Bondholders have given stockholders a call option
The possibility of default creates an underinvestment problem.
As the firm approaches default, shareholders become less willing to
invest because they must share the returns with bondholders.
(1)
Expected value of bond = .5 × $25 + .5 × $15 = $20
Expected value of stock = .5 × $0 + .5 × $0 = $0
Shareholders will not make the $2 investment, because it
only increases their payoff by $1.50.
(1B)
Expected value of bond = .5 × $25 + .5 × $18 = $21.50
Expected value of stock = .5 × $0 + .5 × ($28 – $25) = $1.50

Three conflicts between bondholders and stockholders
intensify as bankruptcy approaches
– Asset substitution
• Increases in variance of firm’s assets
– Underinvestment
• Shareholders become unwilling to invest in projects
even though these projects increase the value of the
firm.
– Liquidating the firm
• Paying out a large dividend to shareholders

Valuation of Stock vs Valuation of Bonds
Similarities between stock and bond valuation
The value of corporate bonds, like the value of common stock
depends on the future profitability of the firm.
– Lenders do not want to loan money to an unprofitable firm or a
firm with a poor competitive strategy.
The value of common stock, like the value of corporate bonds is
reduced in bankruptcy.
– Therefore, stockholders like bondholders are concerned about
the liquidity and solvency of the firm.
Lenders, like stockholders, should evaluate the company’s strategy,
profitability, and accounting quality.

Ratings changes, particularly downgrades seem to convey
information to the market
– Stock price drops 3.96% on the date of down grade announcement
– Stock price increases 0.47% on the date of an up grade announcement, not
statistically significant
– The reaction has increased since the implementation of Regulation FD which
prevents private conversations between analysts and management, because
rating agencies are exempt from FD.

What do these graphs tell us?
– Correlation between default risk and current ratios is low.
Why?
• Efficient firms minimize working capital
• Profitable firms can borrow to overcome short-term
cash shortfalls.
– Current performance is a better predictor of future default
risk. The operating cash flow ratio contains a measure of
current performance (i.e., operating cash flow) and it
seems to have some predictive power
– Firms default on debt when they are unable to run their
operations profitably. Predicting profitability is an
essential part of credit analysis.

• Greater volatility of shareholders’ equity implies a
greater volatility in the firms assets. Thus greater
volatility implies an increased chance that the value of
the firms assets will be less that the promised payment
on the debt.
• Shareholders’ equity is acts as a margin of safety
against default. Bondholders prefer a margin of safety
that is large and stable.

Bankruptcy Prediction Models
Research has produced models that seek to produce a
probability of bankruptcy based on historical financial
statement information.
One commonly used model is The Altman “Z-Score”
(1968)
The models use fiscal year end data to measure the
risk of bankruptcy over the 12-month period
beginning 4 months after the firm’s fiscal-year end.
KMV model calculates expected default probability
using asset value, asset volatility, and leverage.

Z Score = -0.08 × WC/TA +
0.04 × Retained earnings/TA +
-0.10 × EBIT/TA +
-0.10 × Mkt. Value of equity/TL +
0.06 × Sales/TA +
-4.34
• Bankruptcy risk is increasing in Z-Score
• Bold/italicized coefficients are statistically significant (i.e.,
significantly different from zero)
• The model has an R-Squared of about 6%.

Altman Z-Score
• To get a probability of bankruptcy, the Z score must be
transformed as follows: Prob = ez score / (1+ ez score)
– where e ≈ 2.718
• Bankrupt firms have an average Z-Prob of 1.21
• Solvent firms have an average Z-Prob of 0.77

Conclusion
Bondholders focus on the health of current operations
rather than growth
Default risk is best measured by:
– Firm size
– Debt-to-equity
– Profitability relative to interest payments
– Variance of the firm’s common stock
The Altman model suggests that profitability and market
value of equity relative to liabilities are significantly
related to bankruptcy probability

Investments and Acquisitions
The accounting method used for investments depends on the extent to
which the investor exerts influence over the investee.
The equity method
– Investee income (rather than dividends received) affects
income recorded in the investor’s financial statements
– Tends to increase the investor’s ROA and return on sales,
because investee assets are not included in the investor
financial statements
Consolidated accounting
– Consolidation does not affect investors shareholders’ equity
– Investee’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are
incorporated into the investor’s financial statements.
– Understand what “noncontrolling interest” on the B/S and I/S
means
– Goodwill arises from acquisitions

Control Consolidation Method
When the investor controls the investee,
– The investor corporation becomes a parent.
– The investee corporation becomes a subsidiary.
– The parent prepares consolidated financial statements that
treat the parent and the subsidiary as a single economic
entity even though they are separate legal entities.
Consolidated financial reporting requires multiple sets
of financial records
– Each subsidiary maintains its own set of books that are
independent of who owns it
– Parent prepares consolidation financial statements.
