2019 Calculations

1 Retention rate = (Net income (loss) attributable to Kraft Heinz – Dividends declared, common stock – Dividends declared, Series A Preferred Stock) ÷ (Net income (loss) attributable to Kraft Heinz – Dividends declared, Series A Preferred Stock)
= (1,935 – 1,959 – 0) ÷ (1,935 – 0)
= -0.01

2 Profit margin = 100 × (Net income (loss) attributable to Kraft Heinz – Dividends declared, Series A Preferred Stock) ÷ Net sales
= 100 × (1,935 – 0) ÷ 24,977
= 7.75%

3 Asset turnover = Net sales ÷ Total assets
= 24,977 ÷ 101,450
= 0.25

4 Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Shareholders’ equity
= 101,450 ÷ 51,623
= 1.97

5 g = Retention rate × Profit margin × Asset turnover × Financial leverage
= 0.30 × 4.49% × 0.22 × 2.00
= 0.58%

FCFE growth rate (g) implied by single-stage model

g = 100 × (Equity market value0 × r – FCFE0) ÷ (Equity market value0 + FCFE0)
= 100 × (42,032 × 14.02% – 857) ÷ (42,032 + 857)
= 11.74%

where:
Equity market value0 = current market value of Kraft Heinz Co. common stock (US$ in millions)
FCFE0 = the last year Kraft Heinz Co. free cash flow to equity (US$ in millions)
r = required rate of return on Kraft Heinz Co. common stock

Year Value gt
1 g1 0.58%
2 g2 3.37%
3 g3 6.16%
4 g4 8.95%
5 and thereafter g5 11.74%

where:
g1 is implied by PRAT model
g5 is implied by single-stage model
g2, g3 and g4 are calculated using linear interpoltion between g1 and g5

Calculations

g2 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 0.58% + (11.74% – 0.58%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 3.37%

g3 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 0.58% + (11.74% – 0.58%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 6.16%

g4 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 0.58% + (11.74% – 0.58%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 8.95%
