(All the data and table required has been attached below. Thank you!)
Bombardier's Beta was 2.35 and the Market Risk Premium was 5.23 per cent. He set out to calculate the weight of all the equity and preferred securities for Bombardier based on the closing share price as of November 10, 2020. Share price information is available at Bombardier Investor Relations. By looking at the 2019 Annual Report (available as an Additional Resource), Lee could determine the number of shares outstanding of both preferred and common shares (see p. 126 of the Annual Report) and exchange rates (see p. 125 of the Annual Report). He decided to ignore warrants, share options, PSUs and DSUs. The exchange rate is important because the values in the Annual Report are in USD whereas the share prices are in CAD. He will need then to convert the USD values to CAD (please do so using the rates in the annual report). He assumed the company's effective tax rate was 17.88 per cent (an average of the last 4 years that Bombardier had a positive tax rate). Lee researched the Canadian 10-year bond yield at the Bank of Canada, which would be necessary in calculating the cost of equity for Bombardier. He found that this yield was 1.25%. [Kindly note that we are using Bombardiers latest annual report and then using more recent market pricing for illustrative teaching purposes. Normally one would use the most recent publicly available financial statement data (i.e. quarterly statements) but we will use the annual report for this Case as it has the most disclosure and thus provides the best opportunity to get familiar with more detailed financial statements].
Lee expected to incorporate the range of preferred shares and their most recent dividend payouts (see p. 127 of the Annual Report) into his cost of capital calculations. He assumes that the growth rate of all the preferred shares dividends is zero. He also assumes that both Class A and Class B common shares have the same cost of equity. When calculating the cost of debt, he would include the company's long-term debt (see p. 199 of the Annual Report). For the debt that has no value for December 31st, 2019 (it is represented as a dash) he assumes that the market value is 0 (i.e., it has been paid off). He further assumed that the amounts of long-term debt on page 199 of the Annual Report (the column with header December 31st, 2019) were the best estimates of the market values in USD. Finally, Lee found the bond prices for all of Bombardier's long-term debt (see Table 1, below; the face value is 100). The bond prices are necessary for the computation of the YTM of each bond with the exception of the "Other" entry, the cost of which he obtained from the footnotes (see p. 199 of the Annual Report). One issue is how to handle fractional years for bond maturities, especially knowing that they are semi-annual bonds. For simplicity, he decided to round the number of periods when computing the YTM of each bond, as seen in Table 1. Using his knowledge of finance, he sat down to punch the numbers and calculate Bombardier's WACC.
