hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of Wallstreetmojo friends today
we are going to learn a concept that is on MD&A that is management discussion
and analysis over here we are going to discussed a few of the examples also so
let's get in to integrity of the same the first and the foremost thing
as you can see over here is Colgate-Palmolive companies table of contents
there are many of the things like business risk factors and so on and so
forth but we have to look at the item number seven which shows us as
management discussion and analysis of financial conditions and result of the
operations so they were for the very first in the foremost stage what is MD&A
see the annual report of any company when he listed company or as listed by
Colgate contains a separate section by the name as known as MD&A and a that is
management discussion and analysis see the MD&A section includes various topics
that includes like macro economics you have macroeconomic performance of the
industry the company's vision and then you have your strategy and some key
financial indication and so on and so forth so as an investor that is very
very insightful information provided by the company to the correlate of
macroeconomic parameter and the performance of the company and so on and
so forth of the company in light of them so the section containing the MD&A is
included in the company's annual report and you can say in addition to a similar
section analyzing the company's financial performance and decoding of
the financial ratios and various indicators of the for the investors so
management discussion and analysis one of is one of the most useful sections
for the financial analysis so let's get into the detail the first in the
foremost thing what is the difference between MD&A and the audited financials
so as for SEC an independent accounting firm should perform an annual
audit of the company's financial statement and provide an opening on the
material misrepresentation
however auditors are not required to audit the management discussion and
analysis this it is not to be done but yes this is to be done the audited
financial so they are not required to order
the management discussion analysis section MD&A section is basically an SEC
filing and are the opinion of the management about the company's financial
and business health and provides detail of its future operations
so what detail must you look in MD&A as simple as that see the corporate world have
adopted the MD&A and basically you can say that you know the route to
demonstrate their commitment to the company's vision and strategy so how the
management has created the value and delivered performance in light of that
long-term goals so when the term management is referred throughout is
throughout this topic it will be involving complete structure there'll be
a complete structure here in case of the organization including the Board of
Directors you have CEOs in all the Chiefs involved in the same and the
reporting officers that they're basically reporting officers controllers
and so on and so forth the human resource department finance marketing
production operation and remaining middle and lower management levels so
hence MD&A it is not only to dissects financial figures and results but also
looks into the human resource and operation is this side of the business
which the fundamental and the key factors to any business organization is
the first of the foremost thing is MD&A1 that is the execution overview and
outlook see executive overview that is the next one that is what we are
studying is we are going to discuss as executive executive and overview and
outlook okay so executive overview outlook section focuses on details of the
business number of segments it has the geographies and they they operate it all
supports detail on the focus areas of management and how they look forward to
achieving the business and financial objectives now this is your executive
overview and outlook how this has been written operationally the company's
organized along with the geographical lines and management teams they have
approximately 75% of the company's net sales are generated from the market
outside India so geography has been different it has been discussed 50
percent the company's net you can see sales coming from the emerging markets
from this areas in the geography diversity and balance helps to reduce
company's exposure to business and other risk in wind in any country or the part
of the world so this is the executive our overview and outlook see
Colgate uses variety of the indicators to measure the business health and this
include the market shares net sales organic growth profit margins gaap and
non gaap income cash flows and return on capital
so Colgate also notes that you know it expects global you can say
macroeconomics and market condition to remain highly challenging in category
growth rates continuing to be very slow the second thing that we are going to
discuss over here the discussion on the results so you can see discussion on
results of operations now in this section the company discusses the key
highlights of the current financial or the current fiscal period financial
performance in this basically management provides details of net sales gross
margins selling in general admin cost income taxes and so on and so forth also
basically provide the details of any dividend declared and its payment that
is the payment details are as follow we can see from the following
table see as you can see over here this is the details regarding the result of
the operations net sales was this it was down by 5% then internet selling price
increase by 2.5 and there all of the details are regarding you know the
volume has increased by 1.5% and so on and so forth so they called
Colgate's net sells is down over here by 5% in 2016 as compared to 2015
due to the volume decline of 3% close enough to 3% and negative
foreign exchange impact of close enough to 4.5% the colgate notes to the
organic sales of oral personal and home care ok a product segment increased by
around $4 basically in 2016 let's see some of the discussion on the segment
results see the company also provides you to detail on the individual segments
it contribution to the overall sales growth rates and the performance measure
let's see that you can see the segment details over here the company markets
its product over here they call Colgate operates in close enough to 200
countries with primarily two segments that is the oral and the personal and
home care and the pet nutrition segment so this is how the details has
been divided of oral postal and the home care situation in North America the
fourth thing that we are going to see over here let me write over here the
third was what we saw is the segment that is discussion on the segment
results so I'll just write over here segments now the next is the discussion
that we are going to do on non-gaap financial measure just right over here
non-gaap financial measures see generally what happens is that you know
the company uses non-gaap measures for the internal and budgeting segments
evaluation evaluation and understanding over performances so therefore the
management shares the information with the shareholders so that they can get a
better insight into the financial performance of the company as you can
see over here this table provides a quantitative reconciliation of net sales
grow to the organic sales growth for each of the year of 2016 and 15 there
are there are details of Personal and home care data over here offer and the
organic sales growth so the about table towards a reconciliation of net sales
growth of gaap to the non-gaap okay measure of the Colgate's the next step
we are going to discuss is the liquidity and the capital I'll just write for you
liquidity and cap capital resources okay so now this section provides you the
detail of the cash flow rate in issuances that will help you to meet the
business operating and recurring cash needs
so you can see the liquidity in the capital resources and the cash flow
details over here the over here we can see that the Colgate generated close
enough to 3141 in 2016 and it's cash flow that was their cash flow
from the operations and its cash flow from the investing activity was close
enough to $499 and then after additionally the cash flow
from the financing activity was then was an out go of 2,233 in
2016 so additionally the long-term debt including the current portion of
the debt decreased to close enough to 6520 in 2016 the next thing
of management discussion and analysis the sixth point that is the off-balance
sheet arrangement off balance sheet arrangement now in this scenario this
section provides you the details of of any balance sheet financial arrangement
if the company has entered into like you know the company does not have any
off-balance sheet if it is usual it is everything that you know the company
does not have any off-balance sheet financing or uncommon solicited special
purpose entities so colgate does not have basically any off balance sheet
financial financing arrangement the seventh point of management discussion
analysis in this section is managing your foreign currency so that is your
next item is foreign currency interest rate commodity pricing and credit risk
exposure so in this section the company discloses how it manages its currency
risk interest rate risks and the price fluctuation so managing the foreign
currency you know let's let's see basically how the details go about
as you can see over here this is how the details has been disclosed for managing
foreign currency interest rate commodity pricing and credit risk exposure
now the colgate manages its foreign currency exposure through cost
containment measures sourcing strategies selling price increases and the hedging
of certain cost to minimize the impact of the earning of the foreign currency
rate moments second the company manages over here its mix mix of fixed and
floating rate of debt against its target with the debt issuance and by entering
into interest rate swaps in order to mitigate the fluctuation in the earning
of the cash flow and you can say that may result from the interest rate
volatility the third is futures contracts are used in on a limited basis
to manage the volatility related to anticipated raw material inventory
purchase of the commodity now the eighth one the eighth is basically the critical
accounting policies so I'll just write accounting policies over here in case of
the accounting policies in this section the company management discussion and
critical accounting policies that have meaningful impact on the financial
representation of the company's health now this is how the things go about for
the same the shipping and the handling drawers may be reported either a
component of the cost sales over here the company accounts for inventor using
the FIFO method and 75% of the invent of 70% of the inventory and LIFO for
20-25% as it is so we need from the we note from the about that Colgate
uses both FIFO and LIFO method for the inventory valuation and from the
above-mentioned details a fair idea can be taken as to what kind of information
disclosures today's corporate world is required to make to make an accountable
to the investors community and society at large as well as the transparency in
the reporting since the management is well positioned then the stakeholders
who are the outsider to provide information regarding the performance of
the company based on such management's analysis only certain presence actions
taken by the company can be justified and a walk towards the committed goal
can be demonstrated by the management now the next in the for thing is how
does the MD&A help see MD&A helps in understanding the operations basically
and look at the next sheep so MD&A helps in understanding the operations and
financial results in a better light MD&A has a certain definite objective which
can be as follow like you know the first one is like you know in it enables the
readers of the financial statement to understand it in better ways of number
in numbers financial conditions and to get into management shoes to understand
certain strategic and operational decision which are bold and largely
impacting the future performance and position of the company so basically you
can say the understanding portion is really a great sense over here
understanding the second is additional supplementary and complementary
information provided in MD&A and a will help the readers understand what exactly
the financial statement that will depict here and what is not reflected the third
is you can say that you know the addressing the investor perception
towards the risk associated with the business operations and outline the past
tends to indicate the management efforts towards mitigating those risks and
leading the path towards the future financial statement now what is the
format and the extent of the information that MD&A should reveal so for the same
there are really details that we should evaluate the first and the foremost
thing over here is that you know you can note from the dimension objectives you
know that we have discussed over here and the governing regulations in India
there is a prescribed and constantly followed practice of how the information
is presented in the annual report however neither is there any
comprehensive reporting format prescribed by the government in this
regard and nor can we notice any universal practice that has been there
for the same so the accounting professionals and the governing
institution acting in respect of the countries might provide guidance for the
presentation of MD&A like for example FASB that is the financial
accounting standard Authority advisory board okay FASAB in the United States
has issued a recommended accounting standards on the management discussion
and analysis with the first draft by publishing in January 1997 which can be
accessed using the FASAB standard on MD&A in India so in India basically there
is no standard or guidance note in this
behalf however there is a company called ICSI that is Institute of the Institute
of the Company Secretaries of India has issued a reference note on the boards
report under the Companies Act 2013 series but leaving MD&A
presentation to the interpretation of the industry say taking note from the
another prominent institution guidance on management discussion and analysis
you know the Canadian performance reporting board has laid down certain
principles based on MD&A and should be prepared those principle are like you
know the first one is like through the eyes of the management as this right
over here through the eyes of management now in this case what happens is that I
know the company should disclose information in the MD&A that enables the
readers to view it through the eyes of the management second is integration
with the financial statement MD&A should be complemented as well as the
supplement of the financial statement you can see a third is completeness and
you can say materiality and materiality case materiality see in this case the
MD&A should be balanced complete and fair fair as well as the provided
information that is material to the decision-making needs of the users FASAB
has described the requirement in other words saying that MD&A should
deal with the vital few methods there are some of these strategic perspective
also like you know the MD&A should explain management strategy for
achieving the short-term and long-term objective the the fifth one is the
usefulness to be useful MD&A should understand the relevant comparative or
comparable verifiably verifiable and timely so conclusion in conclusion in
the light of the increased participation of the retail as well as the foreign
investors in the capital market in the recent years a more comprehensive and
transparent mechanism of information dissemination is always required so this
is because MD&A basically you can say must provide insightful and
sufficient information to the stakeholders community to analyze
companies based on the performance and help better mobilization of capital this
is more required in India especially after the economic survey of close
enough to in 2017 which depicts that India has beckoning sweet spot in the
darkness of the world economic MD&A is being one
of the very efficient way to provide meaningful and a highly useful
information to the investors and improvement any in MD&A and in
presentation format will lead to a good corporate governance that is your CG and
practices and a healthy relationship between the companies and the investors
community
