Lockheed Corporation reported EBITDA of $4,000 million in the year just ended (year 0), prior to interest expenses of $1,000 million and depreciation charges of $600 million. Capital expenditures in the year just ended amounted to $1,000 million, and working capital was 8% of revenues (which was $20,000 million). The tax rate for the firm was 40%.
The firm had debt outstanding of $18.00 billion (in book value terms), trading at a market value of $20.0 billion and yield a pre-tax interest rate of 8%.
There were 100 million shares outstanding, trading at $250 per share, and the most recent beta was 1.20. The Treasury bond rate was 3%, and the market risk premium was 6.5%.
The firm expected revenues, earnings (EBITDA) and depreciation to grow at 10% a year from the current year (year 0) to year 3, after which the growth rate was expected to drop to 3% a year forever.
Capital expenditures will also grow at 10% a year from year 0 to year 3, but capital spending will be 120% of depreciation in the steady state period. The company also planned to lower its debt/equity ratio to 60% for the steady state which will result in the pretax interest rate dropping to 6%. As a result of the lowering of the firms debt/equity ratio, the beta of the firm is also expected to decline.
- Estimate the free cash flow to the firm.
