The concept helps businesses to have funds to expand their venture and put efforts into earning more than their cost of borrowing. In addition, financial leverage also allows investors to have room for more returns on investment, which is the amount lent to businesses. * Financial leverage involves using the borrowed money to build capital, expecting the income to be more than the debt. * A higher value of leverage signifies that a company has more debt than equity. * The leverage magnifies the firm's profit while increasing the potential for loss. * It is a good option for companies, but it involves severe risks, including bankruptcies. HOW DOES FINANCIAL LEVERAGE WORK? Financial leverage is an investment strategy where businesses borrow money to buy assets and increase capital to expand their venture. The firms opt for this option only when they know that their investment has the potential to generate profits that could easily help them pay back their debt. When a company is highly leveraged, it indicates that it has more debt than equity. In the process, companies borrow finances instead of issuing stocks to investors to raise capital. Though companies can also use equity to build assets, they prefer taking debts as the cost of borrowing is less than the cost of equity. As a result, the cost of capital gets reduced for companies. However, while debt gives a huge relief to businesses for a time being, it is quite risky. In the event of default, it might lead to bankruptcies. The Degree of Financial Leverage or DFL is a ratio that indicates how likely is the EPS to be affected by the fluctuations in the gains that occur with the changing capital structure. DFL is measured and calculated using the following formula. DFL = Change in EPS (%)/ Change in EBIT (%) Here, EBIT is the Earnings before Interest and Taxes FORMULA The financial leverage formula, on the other hand, with regards to a company’s capital structure is as follows: Financial leverage = Total Debt / Shareholder’s Equity Here, Total Debt = Short Term Debt + Long Term Debt FINANCIAL LEVERAGE EXPLAINED IN VIDEO EFFECT When the leverage value is higher, the company relies more on debt than on equity. High leverage makes lenders offer loans at a higher interest rate. As a result, the interest expenses of a company increase, negatively affecting its finances. However, the value should also not be too low as it would mean the company’s reliability on equity for raising funds. In scenarios where equity is more, the effect is adverse on the earnings per share (EPS). On the contrary, leverage could be an effective way of understanding and assessing financial risks an organization might face. These risks include everything related to monetary transaction issues, such as taking up company loans and defaulting. Moreover, if the returns on investment are not as expected, the investors might incur severe financial losses. EXAMPLES Let us consider the following financial leverage examples to understand the concept better: EXAMPLE #1 Company A has purchased assets and resources for the latest order to be completed. The order received was likely to bring them a profit of $50,000. Thus, it decided to apply for a loan instead of issuing shares to investors. The company applied for a loan of $20,000 as it knew the capital built would help it earn more than what was to be repaid. EXAMPLE #2 Here is a real-life scenario where the debt and EPS of Nestle for two consecutive years – 2014 and 2015 – have been mentioned. In addition, the leverage is calculated using the formula above with respect to their debt to equity ratio. In millions of CHF 2015 2014 Total Debt (1)2123021206Total Shareholder’s Equity (2)62,33870,130Total Debt to Shareholder’s Equity 34.05% 30.23% The financial leverage, in this case, has increased from 30.23% in 2014 to 34.05% in 2015. FINANCIAL LEVERAGE VS OPERATING LEVERAGE Operating leverage and financial leverage are two forms of leverage prominently observed in an organization. When the two combine, it forms the hybrid version, referred to as combined leverage. The differences between these two types of leverage options have been listed below: CategoryOperating LeverageFinancial LeverageMeaningInvolves the use of fixed cost assets in the company’s operationInvolves borrowing money to build capital that makes businesses pay interestsRiskInvolves business riskInvolves financial riskRelationshipSales and EBITEBIT and EPSPreferredLessMore as the cost of borrowing is less FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS) What is financial leverage? It defines the process in which a company uses debt for capital building. The value helps determine the effect of debt on the company's overall profitability – a high ratio means the fixed cost of running the business is high. In contrast, a lower ratio implies lower fixed-cost investment in the business. It indicates the extent to which a business depends on its debt and how it uses borrowing as a capital-building strategy. What is the financial leverage ratio? The financial leverage ratio is one of the measurements that help assess whether a company can manage its financial obligations. It indicates how a firm utilizes the available financial securities, such as equity and debt. In addition, it indicates the extent of reliance on a firm's business over the public debt in its operations. Is financial leverage good or bad? It is, undoubtedly, a powerful tool to enhance capital, but it does not necessarily turn out to be good. It paves the way for companies to have funds to build capital and expand their business, but it might be adverse if they cannot repay the borrowed amount. In some cases, it might cause bankruptcy.
