2021 Calculations

1 Retention rate = (Net income – Dividends declared) ÷ Net income
= (2,6941,483) ÷ 2,694
= 0.45

2 Profit margin = 100 × Net income ÷ Operating revenue
= 100 × 2,694 ÷ 14,455
= 18.64%

3 Asset turnover = Operating revenue ÷ Total assets
= 14,455 ÷ 16,077
= 0.90

4 Financial leverage = Total assets ÷ Stockholders’ equity attributable to ITW
= 16,077 ÷ 3,625
= 4.44

5 g = Retention rate × Profit margin × Asset turnover × Financial leverage
= 0.44 × 17.66% × 0.90 × 4.51
= 31.62%


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

g = 100 × (Equity market value0 × r – FCFE0) ÷ (Equity market value0 + FCFE0)
= 100 × (68,130 × 14.72%2,128) ÷ (68,130 + 2,128)
= 11.24%

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

where:
g1 is implied by PRAT model

g2, g3 and g4 are calculated using linear interpoltion between g1 and g5

Calculations

g2 = g1 + (g5g1) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 31.62% + (11.24%31.62%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 26.53%

g3 = g1 + (g5g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 31.62% + (11.24%31.62%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 21.43%

g4 = g1 + (g5g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 31.62% + (11.24%31.62%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 16.34%
