Izzo’s team first discusses key characteristics of Company A. The company has a history of paying modest dividends relative to FCFE, has a stable capital structure, and is owned by a controlling investor.The team also considers the impact of Company A’s three non-cash transactions in the most recent year on its FCFE, including the following:● Transaction 1: A $900 million loss on a sale of equipment● Transaction 2: An impairment of intangibles of $400 million● Transaction 3: A $300 million reversal of a previously recorded restructuring chargeIn addition, Company A’s annual report indicates that the firm expects to incur additional non-cash charges related to restructuring over the next few years.To value the three companies’ shares, one team member suggests valuing the companies’ shares using net income as a proxy for FCFE. Another team member proposes forecasting FCFE using a sales-based methodology based on the following equation:FCFE = NI – (1 – DR)(FCInv – Dep) – (1 – DR)(WCInv)Izzo’s team ultimately decides to use actual free cash flow to value the three companies’ shares. Selected data and assumptions are provided in Exhibit 2.
| Exhibit 2.Supplemental Data and Valuation Assumptions |
| Company A Company B | Company C |
| Tax rate | 35% | 35% | 30% |
| Beta | 1.00 | 0.90 | 1.10 |
| Before-tax cost of debt | 6% | 7% | 6% |
| Target debt ratio | 50% | 30% | 40% |


Market data:Risk-free rate: 3%Market risk premium: 7%The team calculates the intrinsic value of Company B using a two-stage FCFE model. FCFE growth rates for the first four years are estimated at 10%, 9%, 8%, and 7%, respectively, before declining to a constant 6% starting in the fifth year.To calculate the intrinsic value of Company C’s equity, the team uses the FCFF approach assuming a single-stage model where FCFF is expected to grow at 5% indefinitely.
Which non-cash transaction should be subtracted from net income in arriving at Company A’s FCFE?
Option A:Transaction 1
Option B:Transaction 2
Option C:Transaction 3

Answer: C
