2023 Calculations

1 Retention rate = (Net income attributable to Corning Incorporated – Common dividends – Preferred dividends) ÷ (Net income attributable to Corning Incorporated – Preferred dividends)
= (581 – 968 – 0) ÷ (581 – 0)
= -0.67

2 Profit margin = 100 × (Net income attributable to Corning Incorporated – Preferred dividends) ÷ Net sales
= 100 × (581 – 0) ÷ 12,588
= 4.62%

3 Asset turnover = Net sales ÷ Total assets
= 12,588 ÷ 28,500
= 0.44

4 Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Total Corning Incorporated shareholders’ equity
= 28,500 ÷ 11,551
= 2.47

5 g = Retention rate × Profit margin × Asset turnover × Financial leverage
= -0.03 × 7.68% × 0.43 × 2.39
= -0.27%

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

g = 100 × (Equity market value0 × r – FCFE0) ÷ (Equity market value0 + FCFE0)
= 100 × (28,757 × 14.47% – 1,331) ÷ (28,757 + 1,331)
= 9.40%

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

Year Value gt
1 g1 -0.27%
2 g2 2.15%
3 g3 4.57%
4 g4 6.99%
5 and thereafter g5 9.40%

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)
= -0.27% + (9.40% – -0.27%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 2.15%

g3 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= -0.27% + (9.40% – -0.27%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 4.57%

g4 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= -0.27% + (9.40% – -0.27%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 6.99%
