2012 Calculations

1 Tax rate = 100 × Taxes on income ÷ (Net income attributable to Schlumberger + Taxes on income)
= 100 × 1,723 ÷ (5,490 + 1,723) = 23.89%

2 Interest expense, after tax = Interest expense × (1 – Tax rate)
= 340 × (1 – 23.89%) = 259

3 EBIT(1 – Tax Rate) = Net income attributable to Schlumberger + Interest expense, after tax
= 5,490 + 259 = 5,749

4 RR = [EBIT(1 – Tax Rate) – Interest expense (after tax) and dividends] ÷ EBIT(1 – Tax Rate)
= [5,749 – 1,722] ÷ 5,749 = 0.70

5 ROIC = 100 × EBIT(1 – Tax Rate) ÷ Total capital
= 100 × 5,749 ÷ 46,381 = 12.39%

6 g = RR × ROIC
= 0.71 × 15.05% = 10.68%


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

g = 100 × (Total capital, fair value0 × WACC – FCFF0) ÷ (Total capital, fair value0 + FCFF0)
= 100 × (112,411 × 14.63% – 2,357) ÷ (112,411 + 2,357) = 12.28%

where:
Total capital, fair value0 = current fair value of 's debt and equity (USD $ in millions)
FCFF0 = last year 's free cash flow to the firm (USD $ in millions)
WACC = weighted average cost of 's capital

5 and thereafter g5 12.28%

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)
= 10.68% + (12.28% – 10.68%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1) = 11.08%

g2 = g1 + (g5g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 10.68% + (12.28% – 10.68%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1) = 11.48%

g2 = g1 + (g5g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 10.68% + (12.28% – 10.68%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1) = 11.88%
