Leverage

1.1 Introduction
• A firm can finance its operations through common and preference shares, with retained earnings, or with
debt. Usually a firm uses a combination of these financing instruments.
• Capital structure refers to a firm’s debt-to-equity ratio, which provides insight into how risky a company is
Capital structure decisions by firms will have an effect on the expected profitability of the firm, the risks faced
by debt holders and shareholders, the probability of failure, the cost of capital and the market value of the
firm.
0 E (EBIT) (EBIT)
b) Financial Risk : It refers to the additional risk placed on the firm’s shareholders as a result of debt use i.e. the
additional risk a shareholder bears when a company uses debt in addition to equity financing. Companies that
issue more debt instruments would have higher financial risk than companies financed mostly or entirely by
equity.
Risk Business Risk Financial Risk
a) Meaning It is associated with firm’s operation’s, and It is the additional risk placed on Equity
refers to the uncertainty about future Net Shareholders due to theuse of Debt Funds.
Operating Income (EBIT)
b) Measurement It can be measured by the standard deviation It can be measured using ratios like
of the BasicEarning power, i.e. ROCE. leverage multiplier, Debt to assets,etc.
c) Linked to Economic Climate. Use of Debt Funds.
1.2
I Debt versus Equity Financing
• Financing a business through borrowing is cheaper than using equity. This is because :
a) Lenders require a lower rate of return than ordinary shareholders. Debt financial securities present a
lower risk than shares for the finance providers because they have prior claims on annual income and
liquidation.
b) A profitable business effectively pays less for debt capital than equity for another reason: the debt
interest can be offset against pre-tax profits before the calculation of the corporate tax, thus reducing
the tax paid.
c) Issuing and transaction costs associated with raising and servicing debt are generally less than for
ordinary shares.
• These are some benefits from financing a firm with debt. Still firms tend to avoid very high gearing levels.
• One reason is financial distress risk. This could be induced by the requirement to pay interest regardless of
the cash flow of the business. If the firm goes through a rough period in its business activities it may have
trouble paying its bondholders, bankers and other creditors their entitlement.
• The relationship between Expected return (Earnings per share) and the level of gearing can be represented as :
• Leverage can occur in either the operating or financing portions of the income statement.
• The effect of leverage is to magnify the effects of changes in sales volume on earnings. Let’s now discuss in
detail Operating, Financing and Combined Leverages.

Profitability
EBITL EBITH :
• Break-even analysis is a generally used method to study the Cost Volume Profit analysis. This technique can
be explained in two ways :
a) It is concerned with computing the break-even point. At this point of production level and sales there
will be no profit and loss i.e. total cost is equal to total sales revenue.
b) This technique is used to determine the possible profit/loss at any given level of production or sales.
• There is a relationship between leverage and Break-even point. Both are used for profit planning. In brief the
relationship between leverage, break-even point and fixed cost as under.

• Financial leverage (FL) maybe defined as ‘the use of funds with a fixed cost in order to increase earnings per
share. In other words, it is the use of company funds on which it pays a limited return.
• Financial leverage involves the use of funds obtained at a fixed cost in the hope of increasing the return to
common stockholders.
Where, EBIT = Sales – Variable cost – Fixed cost
EBT = EBIT – Interest

• When DFL is more than one (1), financial leverage exists. More is DFL higher is financial leverage.
• A positive DFL/ FL means firm is operating at a level higher than break-even point and EBIT and EPS moves
in the same direction. Negative DFL/ FL indicates the firm is operating at lower than break-even point and
EPS is negative.
• Analysis and Interpretation of Financial leverage
Sr. No. Situation Result
1 No Fixed Financial Cost No Financial leverage
2. Higher Fixed Financial cost Higher Financial Leverage
1. When EBIT is higher than Financial Break-even point Positive Financial leverage
4. When EBIT is levy then Finance Break-even point Negative Financial leverage
i
• Combined leverage maybe defined as the potential use of fixed costs, both operating and financial, which
magnifies the effect of sales volume change on the earning per share of the firm.
• Combined leverage is analysed by reference to the combination of DOL and DFL, as under-
Low Low Cautious & Low DOL - Low operating risk - Low fixed costs & BEP. But Equity
Conservative shareholder’s gains are notmaximized, since DFL is low.
Low High Preferable Low DOL - Low operating risk - Low fixed costs & BEP. Due to high DFL
(favorable gearing), small rise in EBIT leads to greater rise in EBT and EPS.
Hence Equity shareholders gains are maximized.
Q.1 A Company produces and sells 10,000 shirts. The selling price per shirt is ₹ 500. Variable cost is ₹ 200 per shirt and
fixed operating cost is ₹ 25,00,000.
(a) CALCULATE operating leverage. seepage
(b) If sales are up by 10%, then COMPUTE the impact on EBIT ?
